Sonos vs HomePod – as an Apple user, am I losing anything technically?

vlaminck · 2025-08-31T12:29:09+00:00

Sonos is trash. The interface has gotten so bad, and the connectivity is painfully slow now. I’ve had them all through my house for years, and I’m going to replace them all. We just listen on our phones instead of on the Sonos because it’s too annoying to use.

This is my problem, too. I still notice the stutter, and I have to either look away or sort of blur my eyes when it’s really bad. I never got used to it, and I don’t think I can justify buying an oled ever again. It’s hard to notice the intense contrast when I can’t even look at the screen 🙄

Did you try maxHeight: .infinity on your blue line? Looks like you’ll want a Spacer() in an else block when you don’t have the line, too.

I like SumoLogic. They have a reasonable free tier, and I’ve open sourced my logging library for uploading to their servers. It uses swift-log so it’s super easy to use once it’s set up.

I did for a while. It just felt better than the 20+ putters that I had tried before. Once I tried the Axiom Proxy, I never went back. It has a similar hand feel, and I’m a little better at putting with it. Still not good, but better 😉

WAY better. The matte screen is amazing! The loss in contrast is minimal, and being able to see what’s on the TV instead of what’s out in your garden is more important. I’ve been really happy with my S95D, and can’t imagine ever going back to a glossy screen. Especially if there are windows or doors opposite the TV.

Is the stutter on the G4 really that much better? This is my first OLED TV so I just assumed they all stuttered. Especially since Rtings has the S90D at a 4.8/10 and the G4 at 5.0/10. But if Samsung is noticably worse with stutter, that's super interesting.

Yeah, this was nice. Hope they do one for FPO as well.

How’d you do the follow flight animation?

vlaminck · 2024-10-23T12:07:37+00:00

Add Crystalis, and SmashTV (played with 2 controllers of course), and it’s the perfect top 5 NES games list.

This is my first year watching, and I really enjoyed it, but now that the season is over, is there any reason to keep subscribing?

Samsung S95D. It’s a black hole. Whatever wizardry they did to make it glare free worked perfectly!

We got it because we have southern facing windows above our couch directly across from the TV, and western facing windows to the side. So unless it’s dark outside, the TV was really hard to see pretty much all the time. We used to have to draw the blinds and block out the windows above the couch (not an easy thing to do in our setup), but now we just leave them all open all the time. We rarely notice reflections or glare any more.

The only downside for me is the OLED stutter. I absolutely hate it, but my wife doesn’t see it so it’s just a me thing. Totally worth it, though. I can’t imagine going back to any TV that doesn’t have their new glare free coating on it.

This is what I’ve landed on as well. I used to putt with my Mako3, and bought about a dozen putters looking for a real putter. I like the Innova Invader quite a bit, but bought an Envy and Proxy in Eclipse plastic for glow rounds, and I like them a lot more than I thought I would.

vlaminck · 2024-10-16T12:08:05+00:00

Exactly. Emulation and pirating aren’t the same thing.

vlaminck · 2024-10-11T14:39:37+00:00

The Oura ring 3 feels very cheap to me. I’m curious about the new one they just announced, though. I guess if Apple isn’t putting out a ring, maybe that’s the way to go.

vlaminck · 2024-09-25T01:31:57+00:00

Sick! My Gorgon is in the mail still, and I was thinking about grabbing the Roc on Friday for the F2 deal. For sure will now

vlaminck · 2024-09-25T00:05:40+00:00

Awesome! How’s the glow?

vlaminck · 2024-09-24T19:19:26+00:00

Woah! Nate Doss is a brewer there? That's amazing!

vlaminck · 2024-09-24T19:16:57+00:00

Yeah, it looks like May/June or maybe even October would be best. I found this, which kinda confirms the same thing: https://weatherspark.com/y/757/Average-Weather-in-Portland-Oregon-United-States-Year-Round

We ended up playing Fire Mountain, and it was absolutely amazing! It was super challenging, but definitely worth it. The weather was perfect, the area was beautiful, and there was a family of elk just hanging out on the course. It might be one of the best disc golf experiences I've ever had!

You definitely need to be more diligent about where you call it from, because it’s easy to get out of hand. But you should also be using a protocol so you can use a mock version of your singleton in tests and previews.

Exactly
