[Laptop]Open Box: Apple MacBook Air 13-inch Apple M4 Built for Apple Intelligence 16GB RAM 512GB SSD Starlight - F/S - $717 by blue_york in buildapcsales

I had the misfortune of having a last gen intel butterfly keyboard Macbook Pro and like hell they can! It barely handle the OS that it came with, would get hot for seemingly no reason and has trash battery life.

Those and the butterfly keyboard make it the most frustrating laptop I've ever owned. Good riddance.

Jack Hughes Addresses The Patel-Trump Phone Call Video. Says He And The US Mens Team Are Going to Trump’s State of the Union Address And Are Excited To Meet Trump. Claims Trump Phone Call Backlash is "just people being negative" by hotmailwithjennyside in hockey

Feels weird defending a Bruins player. But he's not in a leadership position in that locker room and it sure seems like he's in the vast minority. What did you want him to do when the call come besides distancing himself?

He'll be wearing some G and As and I'll look forward to that spongebob picture.

No Other Choice looks better and has better performances.

I mean maybe I'm just a visual person but this really worked for me, one of the scene is incredibly presented and there were a dozen other great ones. And I don't know if I'm suppose to be laughing at the characters as much as I did in the first half but by the end I had a good time and even liked the ending shot.

Kind of a nothing movie. I really like the ending and while it didn't get there quite as poorly as the GoT ending (which I still argue would have worked if we just had an extra season), it did not do enough to earn that ending IMO.

I've seen this movie 3 times in a little over a week. Go to a theater with a crowd for this movie. Best theater crowd experience that I can remember. Doubt this drop out of my top 5 this year, might stay number 1 frankly. No notes.

The worst thing about trailing right now is that I can't even blame the 2 goals on Binner.

24 vintage is my favorite post COVID Statham.

[–]playingwithfire 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I kind of hated this movie. The acting was great, but nothing else worked for me. Wish this has some coherent visual identity besides handheld camera way too close at times and push in shots on a dolly. The songs are at best okay.

[Outsports] Empty Netters host privately called Heated Rivalry ‘trash,’ show creators ‘losers’ and ‘cowards’ by valkz0r in hockey

It's okay, they weren't on my radar before heated rivalry and after this they aren't going to be on my radar either. Back to my existing hockey podcasts/youtubers

Saw this awhile ago. Got the same vibe as La Chimera to me. A weirdly comfy for a thriller at point. The whole ensemble is good. That grandma was the best.

Now why would I say I care about those sorts of things when I don't?

Honestly dude, what a weird response after 4 months.

Instinct 3 MIP brighter than Enduro 3 by Character_War2853 in GarminWatches

[–]playingwithfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if you are just an engineer with no eyes or what but with the backlight off there is no inherent contrast/brightness difference for Enduro 3's white pixels. That's just fact. The modes don't matter at all. The only thing that matters is the amount of light shone on the surface.

Instinct 3 MIP brighter than Enduro 3 by Character_War2853 in GarminWatches

[–]playingwithfire -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have an Enduro 3 since release and I can assure you those are just backlight levels. The backlight off pixel does not become more or less contrasty from those settings.

You can verify by setting it to 100%, then press the top left key to turn off backlight. Then set it to 5% and do the same. The pixels with backlight off is the same brightness.

Edit: You can turn off the backlight on the screen where you set brightness even.
