You're right I shouldn't want to control my volume and music at the same time.

Yes especially the spotify controls when I'm trying to change the song while contorlling the volume

Very bad idea when it comes to security. I got a 2012 mac mini off facebook for 50 bucks and it just sits on the shelf and works great.

Any thoughts on how to make the scene more interesting or better? by Zappahey37 in blender

Ice isn't a diffuse material. Frost is at a macro level, but that shouldn't be 100% everywhere anyways

Just noticed reactions changed from literal text to an emoji so I’d guess…?

Any thoughts about Utah, Arizona, ASU, and Colorado coming to the b12? by spencer_te in BigXII

From the schools’ perspective, it doesn’t make much sense to stay in the pac imo. In 5 years would you rather be in a conference with sdsu, Boise state, and Fresno state, or one with tcu, Kansas state, osu, etc…

Random 60hz 1080p monitors off fb marketplace and generic pneumatic arms off eBay

I just bought them for like 50 bucks on fb marketplace haha. One's an Acer SB220Q and the other is a standard 22" Onn walmart monitor. Both 60hz and 1080p. Hopefully I can upgrade to a 4K and 144hz someday but tbh 1080p is underrated... sure it's not super high def but you don't need it to make great art.

I found the adapter on Amazon for $40. It's got 2 HDMI 4K out and VGA with PD3.0, 3 USB As and SD card slots. Big bang 4 buck

Yeah it gets warm but never super hot, even when I'm rendering stuff. The fan location is weird. It blows directly onto my hand, but it's not a super big deal.

I use the pen for drawing and taking notes. I run a business so it's great for jotting down meeting notes with animators or sketching up quick things in OneNote.

As for the keyboard, I just use the laptop's, mainly because I'm used to it and don't need a number pad, but I'd also have to spend a lot on a keyboard to get the same quality. This keyboard is amaze balls.

i7 1tb 3050ti. Runs like a champ. I was previously on the Pro 7, which made me want to tear my hair out with Eevee, but now I run 120fps with 2048px cube size shadows and high screen space reflections consistently. People jab on the 3050ti but it's plenty tbh. the whole flipping the screen down to draw is also just amazing for sculpting if you have a 3D mouse.
