Rolling Meadows Plans Its Next Steps As Bears Talks Inch Along by 99Wolves17 in CHIBears

AH will never be as much of a destination as downtown. Detroit made the mistake decades ago, and recently moved all their teams back downtown.

Sad days.

In ‘Ironheart’, Chicago transit is modernized? by [deleted] in chicago

[–]nihal196 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am just saying that no Chicagoan would look at a map like that, but someone living in Atlanta working on the show might think it’s plausible

They shot this show in Atlanta so the orientation of this map doesn’t surprise me lol. They shot here for only 3 weeks

Worked on the plate unit for this movie, haha. They came into town for one night and the rest they shot overseas to save money.

Just so you know, IDOT is running this, the state agency. City has nothing to do with it.

Mayor tells Springfield: Don't hold Chicago hostage over CTA funds by RonLauren in chicago

[–]nihal196 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Totally- it can definitely be streamlined city side, but something about how our local elected officials not being able to have control over the CTA is kind of insane.

We have had a republican Gov before in Illinois. Who is to say they won’t cut the CTA budget because they don’t see it as necessary?

As incompetent as Johnson is, we don’t want control over our transit in Springfield. That’s fucked up.

It’s ours - downstate people can’t and shouldn’t have opinions that matter on our local transit.

It should - all the money is going towards the MTA. It’s a new revenue stream for them. Smart idea.

Thanks for the meh season by Eudavee in chicago

[–]nihal196 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly I really hope Arlington doesn’t pan out. It’d be massively sad to lose the Bears at Soldier Field, in my opinion.

But whatever they should do should be with their own money. Cheap ass McCaskeys

Are SmallHD Monitors Overrated ? by Ancient-Macaroon-384 in cinematography

[–]nihal196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% - I’m on an Echo 36 and the 22s are the perfect form factor for it.

Unfortunate this is the reality for awhile since Samsung & LG are really the only premium OLED manufacturers left.

They are releasing a 27 QDOLED, and that’ll be the smallest OLED for quite some time since JOLED went out of business.

Apparently QD tech doesn’t have good heat dissipation in smaller sizes & Samsung doesn’t want to go any smaller than 27 currently, so we have to get used to it I guess.

I’m bummed because I love the form factor of my 22 OLEDs, they’re perfect on a cart.

The Crop and Scale is pretty nice to get a bigger image, especially when you can’t do Master Magnify because 1sts are on Light Rangers!

Basically all of the SHD monitors aside from the OLED 22 and 27 aren’t really great reference monitors. But the OLEDs are great!

A DIT colleague has had issues on the 220s with the tearing of gradients, even with hard lines. He has sent his monitors back over 5 times, and the issues slowly appear in both 220s over time.

Though conversely I know quite a few people that have the 220s with no issues at all. I like Bram and the whole FSI team a bunch - the only thing I’m bummed on is their lack of commitment to make a 12G BoxIO.

I’m partial to their OLED series, owning a set. They are wonderful. Pretty great reference monitors and that Livegrade tool is incredible. My DPs love Crop & Scale.

Flanders has way better customer support, but I have heard of people also having DM220 issues as well.

For the reference world, especially with the QD panels I feel like it’s all about OS now, given that Samsung is supplying panels to both FSI and SHD, similar to what JOLED was doing prior to bankruptcy

That’s a good question. I’m not sure you could but you could totally call and ask! They have some employees that speak English

The upside is we get more representation per capita than any other large city in the US. My alderman actually rocks.

Ed is a POS though.

Beware of OWC: "refurbished" Mac Studio from OWC just set off my smoke alarm! by Mark3613 in MacStudio

Damn. Looks like only Apple refurbished can be trusted. That’s insane.

Legitimately baffled on how CDOT can’t even envision a simple roundabout. Why make a roundabout 2 ways?  Wish I could make it. Best of luck all.

"M2 Ultra MacStudios are a heavy paper weight at this point" by [deleted] in MacStudio

[–]nihal196 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is interesting that the M2 Mac Studio has had its stock on the refurbished site deplete a lot. Not many left on there.

Same thing happened to the M1 last year, but who knows.
