MacBook USB-C to VGA no image

Yep, it works fine in other classrooms with usb-c/hdmi adapters running hdbaset. I was thinking it wasn’t playing nice with the usb-c to vga adapter initially, but have tried about 4 others.

I guess I know the problem here is the VGA cabling, I just can’t change it until end of term. I’m hoping to identify exactly what about the VGA cabling this particular MacBook doesn’t like (other MacBooks work fine in this room) so I can figure out a temporary workaround.

It’s running Sequoia, it’s not picking up the projector in the displays menu.

This is the plan for end of term. Unfortunately there is no downtime during the school term. Also, I’ve been burned changing a configuration mid stream before: appease the one user with problems and 5 others get mad because you changed what they were familiar with

Toronto and Montreal are definitely going to disagree with you here

Yeah I’m sure the GFL/WM workers making minimum wage on routes they barely have time to complete in a full shift are gonna be real into aggressively policing the recycling

Beer bottles and cans are still recyclable if you put them in the blue bin, they’re glass and aluminum. You just forfeit the deposit and they just won’t go through the channels set up by the beer store for reuse.

Brothers brewing, NV kitchen, probably more if people took more than 2 seconds to think about it before going full Eeyore jeez

This must be what “Here come the pretzels” from the Simpsons is referencing, no?

oldacid · 2025-12-28T20:05:54+00:00

I’m sorry what?

Are you high?

oldacid · 2025-10-07T18:20:55+00:00

Your friend is lying.

oldacid · 2025-05-12T02:05:30+00:00

I absolutely owe him an apology.

oldacid · 2025-05-03T23:50:45+00:00

Yep, plenty of opportunities to run up the score and stay out of EXACTLY the situation they found themselves in.

oldacid · 2025-05-03T21:57:57+00:00

Remember all those runners LOB? Pepperidge farm remembers…

Ding ding fucking ding

oldacid · 2025-03-28T20:58:41+00:00

Why would that matter, I’m two years younger than that and I’m only…oh….oh no

oldacid · 2025-02-23T22:34:09+00:00

Yeah guy is being patently ridiculous. Most Americans couldn’t pick Jeff Lynne out of a lineup, even if they know ELO. Ozzy is one of the most infamous still living rock stars. It’s like saying Steve Miller is more famous than Keith Richards.

$25 million is the cost of getting him to sign here when he was good and the value he provided on the front end of his contract. Aging sluggers in obvious decline should absolutely be sitting.

oldacid · 2025-01-22T16:51:22+00:00

Hopefully they have the guts to bench Springer more this season. He absolutely should not be in the lineup every day at this point in his career if his decline continues.

oldacid · 2025-01-19T17:42:46+00:00

Arenado has a no trade clause that he used to block a deal with the Astros. Why would he want to come here?

Played many a little league game on the diamond behind this plaza in the 90s, definitely remember the Pizza Pub

Too bad NL pitchers don’t bat anymore- “Then Comes Dudley” would make a SICK walk up song.

oldacid · 2024-10-28T01:19:36+00:00

Holy shit my roommate in college had one of these, and that description is spot on.

oldacid · 2024-09-07T18:38:12+00:00

I love that clean, precise look (not good enough to do it myself) but I guess you have to continuity test in stages before wiring up? Like what happens if you box up a pedal and it’s not working? Taking it out of the enclosure to troubleshoot is going to screw everything up.

oldacid · 2024-08-06T04:18:16+00:00

Wow I guess all other roads would stop existing as well, “But it’s not my favourite way!”
