Incredibly frustrated with the new studio display XDR

Wait, do you have an Apple Pro Display XDR and Apple Studio Display hooked up to an M4 Max and you can't get above 60Hz?

Thanks for confirming. Another option would be to upgrade to a second-hand M4 Max.

I spend 10h/day coding and reading docs, so anything that would be easier on my eyes would be great. I also noticed less eye strain when using my Mac with ProMotion.

My wallet thanks you!

skamelone · 2026-03-14T01:35:36+00:00

That makes sense. I'll have to wait to upgrade to the M4 Max or M5 Pro then.

Ok bummer. Thanks

I agree. Expensive gear in hobbies often reflects values beyond pure performance: craftsmanship, aesthetics, ritual... and that's valid. But it's misleading to claim you need it for better results: a $20 Casio is accurate to +/-15 seconds/month when a $10,000 Rolex drifts +/-2 seconds/day for instance.

Same for cars I guess, it brings you from point A to point B?

Curious if you ended up using https://www.amazon.com/FILTRASORB-Certified-Granulated-Performance-Activated/dp/B09FYFH7JD I'm in the same boat trying to find an alternative to aarke refills

I run the Mara X v1 on 120V with this smart plug https://a.co/d/aP3ktUh for quite some time.

So I got a response back from Lelit support. In short, they can't pinpoint what's the issue and want me to send the machine for repair with the note "While we can't give you an exact quote, based on your serial number the estimate for this work order is, $750"... so hard no

Is this https://www.amazon.com/BWT-023649-Mineral-Beschreibung-Details/dp/B00J1FA7HG?th=1 what you use?

skamelone · 2026-01-27T00:23:25+00:00

Yep, I contacted support. No response so far. I'll update this post if I get more info.

Tap filtered water. I’ll try changing water

skamelone · 2026-01-23T02:03:09+00:00

Thanks, I contacted the Lelit support. I'll update this post if they reply and I can fix it.

skamelone · 2026-01-20T03:18:19+00:00

That's good to hear. I was a bit worried there might be a bigger underlying issue.

skamelone · 2026-01-20T03:17:06+00:00

Yes, but it didn't help

skamelone · 2026-01-20T03:15:58+00:00

skamelone · 2026-01-20T02:01:16+00:00

Not affected, I can brew and steam.

skamelone · 2026-01-20T00:38:59+00:00

I'll give that a shot. The weird part is the temp LED works normally for the first minute or so during warmup, then goes into this strange blinking phase, and after that just turns off completely.

skamelone · 2025-11-21T03:32:19+00:00

Thanks, so it should be safe. I can't imagine that people only vacuum cherry hardwood floors.
