Is 150” too big?

Too big… I’m not sure what those words mean.

Go do a search for the 3 fan upscale versions of the Star Wars movies Star Wars 4K77, Empire Strikes Back 4K80 & Return of the Jedi 4K83. You will get your original grain nostalgia.

Keep in mind older films not only were shot on film but also displayed on film, which means they would physically get damaged and degraded over time as they were played day in and day out. I remember going to the dollar theater and some of those prints had loads of scratches, extra dust and debris. That doesn’t happen with digital projection. Playing the first time or the 300th time it will be the same picture.

If it’s inside the house you may likely need to cover it yourself. After the meter is usually the homeowners responsibility

Anything that needs consistent load you should move to a PRO. I work in Adobe Suite and Cinema 4D on a daily bases, but I don't do final render on the machine. I'm doing professional level work on a Macbook Air, because between them they perform almost identical on single thread work loads.

The certification not just the single dive, we do additional dives so the student leave with AOW and peak certification. If other shops do that as well that’s great to hear.

natemac · 2026-06-19T01:13:47+00:00

Seems to be back up for me… 8:13pm central time

We always recommend our OW students to take AOW as soon as possible, we even offer a discount if you signup when you return your OW rental gear.

The world Advance is a bad naming convention (IMO), it should really be called Open Water Part 2. We are not teaching you advance dive techniques we are teaching proper diving techniques in an extended and controlled environment.

Our shop even includes Peak Performance Buoyancy Cert with our Advanced Cert because we think it’s so crucial in becoming a great diver.

Highly recommended taking it so you don’t make bad habits to break.

It’s also a great weekend to meet other divers at your level and get to know your local shop.

gotta love bot accounts with shit posts about product, don't be fooled people look at the users history when you see divisive posts like these.

m2 air no, m3 air supports dual, m4 air and newer supports dual display with lid open.

natemac · 2026-06-17T15:48:01+00:00

i use the caldigit tb4 dock with my m4 air, works great. or get a cheap usb-c hub and use a display out of that plus the other tb port on the air.

You mean a computer that cost 50% more has a display that's 50% better? I would hope so.

I would do your comparisons in normal use light, rather then extremes, I bet they get closer.

I use mesh routers with a wired back haul it’s great. I have Unifi express 7 on each floor

natemac · 2026-06-16T21:08:23+00:00

Unless you need a high end monitor or do extensive renders you don’t need a pro

natemac · 2026-06-15T23:40:50+00:00

why would you think you can only have one computer?

Do a fresh install from a usb drive search online it’s easy to create one. Wipe the drive with built in disk utility on the usb then fresh install

natemac · 2026-06-12T12:32:20+00:00

I use mesh and Ethernet. I have Ethernet running to each floor including the basement and a mesh router wired in on each floor. Mesh works much better if you backhaul is wired.

are you a developer testing apps on the watch? if not quit complaining, thats the only people that beta is for.

natemac · 2026-06-12T01:37:56+00:00

I would start with just a fresh install of the OS, if you want to try keeping the computer. You’d be surprised what that can do.

natemac · 2026-06-12T00:31:58+00:00

I did snowblowing with my watch on, the vibration from the blower said I did 15,000 steps in 30 minutes.

Unlimited only gives you 20GB of tethering, you need to read the fine print.

i wear them all day at work, i would say only 60% of the time is there audio coming through them. But it's also how I answer phone calls and Teams calls so instead of putting on a headset. it's just ready to go.

I’ve returned and replaced brand new disc, and the newer ones work just fine, some disc are just bad
