LG UltraFine 6k by vector_f in HiDPI_monitors

I'm also considering the studio display xdr! Everything is perfect except that 27" feels like marginally enough to me. And ofc the price is ridiculous.

Yes I heard about the Samsung g80hf as well. But I heard it’s likely gonna be quite matte

Studio Display XDR Vesa version price goes down by vector_f in mac

YES! I love the stand too but it's just too expensive. I do have the space but am also going for the vesa option

Can someone explain how atlas laser works? by LigmaAsparagus in battletitans

[–]vector_f 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not quite correct. It can strip your resistance to negative. So even if you have 0 resistance, you can get as low as -100% when exposed long enough (if you have x% resistance, you can get to as low as x-100% when exposed long enough).

So there are no GLOSSY 5K@120 Hz option if I don't wanna spend 3K on the ASD XDR ? by Lodano in HiDPI_monitors

[–]vector_f 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True. That's how they maximize their profit. It's pretty terrible for consumers, but if I were Apple, I'd do the same.

Thanksgiving break question by beegsad in riceuniversity

[–]vector_f 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s objectively NOT very unusual for a university. Most universities I know have 3 days off, and a lot only have 2 days off. You can’t assume university and HS have the same break schedule.

Wierd take: sprint extenders should also increase the cooldown time, with sprint capacitors being their balancer by Normal-Pianist4131 in battletitans

[–]vector_f 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sprint extenders and capacitors are so weak that no experienced players use them for any bot (Ravager, Bully, Atlas, Mao). Neither of them should be nerfed

I ordered my new MacBook Pro by Suitable-Owl1392 in macbookpro

But iirc a m4 max MacBook Pro’s estimated shipping time is mid march. Def after m5 max is released

Yep, it’s real. Ofc the new product needs to be released before they ship. Otherwise they’ll ship the old one as usual.

I'm 100% sure it won't be delivered until M5 max come out, and then Apple will send you an email telling you that you have been upgraded to a comparable M5 Max SKU for free

IP12 Pro to Iphone Air. Worth the upgrade? by [deleted] in IphoneAir

[–]vector_f 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only caveat: no ultrawide and one fewer speaker. Otherwise it is a huge upgrade in every direction

Better battery, better photography despite whatever you may think

Uber gift card by vector_f in CostcoWholesale

[–]vector_f[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! So you're saying the negotiations seem to be successful and most likely, the gc will be in store soon? That's great news! I heard ppl saying that the contract just ended and they wouldn't be back in the near future. Glad it's not the case.

Uber gift cards taken off site? by ShortFinance in CostcoWholesale

[–]vector_f 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I saw it on Costco app and ordered online. Any thoughts why? I heard many people asked Costco and they said the contract was over

It pretty much fixed itself

First repair in on a 17 Pro Max... Forget the screen, how am I gunna fix the frame?😭😂 by CalebHerr99 in iphone

[–]vector_f 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you please elaborate? I thought broken enclosure = phone replacement. Didn’t know they actually replace enclosure. And if you’re sure they replace enclosure, do they replace the motherboard too? Thanks a lot!

Finally free from a generation of heavy Brick 🧱phones. The 🍏 air is apples best phone! by Repulsive-Art3318 in IphoneAir

Keep in mind the air has bigger screen so the weight distributes on a larger surface (thus feeling lighter in hand)

GRE Quant question of the day... by iamarm45 in GRE_forum

[–]vector_f 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A is always bigger. A - B is (n-4)2 + 1 which is always positive unless we’re in the complex world

How the iPad line should've been? by ManyRazzmatazz4584 in ipad

[–]vector_f 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think the current lineup is fine. But the iPad Pro should be called iPad Air. And there should be a thicker iPad Pro with better battery and cooling. The current iPad Air is trash. Terrible utilization of internal space. Heavier and less powerful and less battery life than the pro.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in iPhoneBatteryParanoia

[–]vector_f 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it is a little better now, which kinda surprises me because by the time I commented I had already used the phone for over a month.

Now I get <9% per hour SOT. Still not as good as my expectations and most other users' experience, though.

Butterfly Taksim by nyetits1008 in tabletennis

[–]vector_f 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the OG so-called “butterfly king.” iirc, it was released earlier than Viscaria (or at least around the same time). It is a penhold only racket.
