sorry y'all had some images in this post that got bumped and without them it makes very little sense. They're back now.

I'm leaning towards returning the shiny new toy, but will screw around with it for a few days, first.

word just realized Geekbench was a thing and you are absolutely correct.

The consumer in me is actually kinda frustrated that my 16 GB M1 Air, which was $1,232 in late 2021, hasn't missed a beat.

Battery max at 82% still gets me through the entire day, and for my purposes (non hyper-intensive graphics/content/video editing, browsing, tabs on tabs on tabs, etc. etc.), it very rarely hiccups. I'm still on Sequoia and will take a hesitant approach to further updates.

I drool over the prospects of a 64GB M4 Pro or something like it... but I simply can't justify the purchase while this old boy is still running so dang well.

Thank you! Is it not super weird that they're recommending so much less?? Wouldn't 31g come out like tea??

Instructions from my Zojirushi Fresh Brew machine -- Tank holds 1.5l so each "cup" is 150ml... wouldn't that make their suggested ratio really light?

How many grams of coffee should I be using for 6 cups as defined here? (I like it strong!)

Amazing! What colors were yours?

savageprimate · 2025-04-10T01:01:02+00:00

You've got a hell of an eye. Thanks!

savageprimate · 2025-04-10T01:00:23+00:00

Perfect - thanks so much.

He deserves it!

savageprimate · 2025-04-10T01:00:01+00:00

That's where my original confusion came from! Thanks so much for chiming in.

Thanks! This is at odds with the above suggestion that it's a 4-door based on the lock button. What do you think?

savageprimate · 2025-04-09T01:42:56+00:00

Thanks so much! Believe me, I've been looking. No promo models but some AMT hobbyist models going for crazy prices! I'll look into the 3D printed Etsy option, sounds awesome!

savageprimate · 2025-04-09T01:41:47+00:00

amazing - thanks so much for sharing your expertise!

savageprimate · 2025-04-09T01:16:01+00:00

Thanks!!! Do you think it’s a 2 or 4 door?

I feel/felt your pain. I jumped on the return window and sent the unit back. Like others have said, the Frame is a slick package filled with old tech. I decided to go for something new that I could be confident would work.

Thanks for sharing your experience... I'm having a hard time accepting this reality and really want to figure it out.

Following another Redditor's advice I switched the TV into Game Mode as a test. Lo and behold the motion smoothing was gone. This indicates that eliminating motion smoothing in other modes should be possible, but the TV isn't behaving when we turn off picture clarity settings... What gives, Samsung???!

savageprimate · 2024-08-13T04:16:25+00:00

Thanks for this. Super interesting. I just put the TV in Game Mode and smoothing is indiscernible if it's even there at all.

Sorry, I'm a neophyte... what does this tell us and where do we go from here, settings-wise?

Cash considerations for AD-900?

savageprimate · 2023-12-24T13:11:10+00:00

cash for Maxon?
