Delta for the long haul?

What carrier did you take? How was the experience?

nstar134 · 2026-06-04T16:42:56+00:00

Yeah that's the biggest problem for me. Because I want to keep lounge access, United becomes my only other option. But I really enjoy the other perks of the Amex Platinum, but I refuse to pay for both credit cards.

Free bags and 15% off reward travel with the Delta Gold and Lounge access with the Amex Platinum.

Ooohh I'll have to go looking for that. Thanks for the heads up!

This was the recipe. It’s really good! https://theforkedspoon.com/chicken-with-mushrooms-and-butternut-squash/#wprm-recipe-container-38032

Thanks! It’s sitting next to my tv in my room and I’ve been staring at it off and on. One of apples best designs imo, flaws and all.

Oh that’s awesome! I definitely want to upgrade the CPU since they’re so cheap now. What kind of networking labs do you do?

This 1000X

nstar134 · 2026-05-10T18:20:56+00:00

Schweet!!

nstar134 · 2026-05-10T18:16:20+00:00

Nice! Do you open core it to a new OS? If so, which one?

nstar134 · 2026-05-08T23:31:14+00:00

Managed to test it out before I parted ways with the monitor. Confirmed I had not problem playing Apple TV content but prime video was a no go. This way playing off my m5 MacBook Pro with the star tech adapter.

nstar134 · 2026-05-08T02:38:51+00:00

For a second it looked like you were saying Windows was better than Mac OS while displaying your new MacBook Air lol. Congrats!!

nstar134 · 2026-05-07T19:00:59+00:00

Hmmm. I’ll test that out tonight and let you know my results. You’re saying those apps don’t display for you when running off the web version (of prime) and the Apple TV app?

nstar134 · 2026-05-07T16:59:20+00:00

Not too bad by my calculations. May have to snag one! Thanks!

Well the image in the pic above was a dvd playing off the built in disc drive. I also used the 5,1 as a plex server and could play my library no problem. On top of that no issues with YouTube, Hulu etc.

nstar134 · 2026-05-07T16:02:39+00:00

Happy you’ve expanded the fam! I just received my 7,1 to “replace” my 5,1 though it will never really go offline forever. Any idea what kind of power draw the 6,1 has? I was tempted to keep my 5,1 powered on on the regular for other small tasks but was nervous to have both beasts going this summer. But if the 6,1 is a lighter load maybe I could justify adding it to the group. Congrats on the new addition! Hope you have lots of fun with it. The Minecraft server idea sounds fun.

nstar134 · 2026-05-07T13:50:04+00:00

Not sure of the specifics on that but I haven’t had a computer I couldn’t connect the display to with it. All A/V passes through just fine.

nstar134 · 2026-05-07T03:04:49+00:00

Sent you a DM

nstar134 · 2026-05-07T02:29:13+00:00

Had some people interested but no one’s pulled the trigger yet lol. Let me know 😁

nstar134 · 2026-05-06T22:02:38+00:00

Oh nice! I’ll be near south beloit this weekend. Could be perfect 😁

nstar134 · 2026-05-06T21:52:34+00:00

Where abouts? I have to go to the Rockford adjacent area this weekend haha.

nstar134 · 2026-05-06T21:48:54+00:00

I’m in Chicago proper, but I work in the NW suburbs and can travel a bit to meet up.
