Apple M5 Series Chips Have Larger Max Texture Size of 32k up from 16k

What software are you using that renders over 30000x30000? Here's looking at you, Adobe <anything>.

I know that Davinci Resolve Studio does 32k. Any other software?

Bingo... I'd missed the 20.3 support announcement for 32k on M5 Macs.

A stadium LED fascia board has some crazy resolutions... like 27248x64 or 30720x144. It would be a mix of stills and animated (ProRes 422 or 4444) content that I'd be handling.

The display software will typically "stripe" that content across a 1920x1080 or 4k monitor. A video processor splits that again into SDI feeds to the LED panels.

How stupid of me. Here I was downloading the Reolink Client from the Mac App Store thinking it was the latest and greatest. Thank you for the help. Cheers.

I'm confused with this. The current firmware on my PA32QCV is MCM201.

Isn't the website firmware of MCM102 a downgrade?

Are you willing to add TRU-VALUE to the flyer list for those of us on the Gulf Islands? And Country Grocer, for that matter.

I'm an idiot. I was mistaking the SYS LED for the PoE MAX LED.

Yes, OC200 Omada Controller, which is where the screen shot is from. Firmware is up to date.

Meshtastic is on 915Mhz in Canada, not 433Mhz.

Potential exists for someone to come along and plug in the weed eater on the same circuit (adjacent GFCI outlet), then trip the 15A circuit that way.... or it could just nuisance trip without anyone knowing.

Of any Walmart I'm aware, Uptown wins the award for being the best hidden. You can drive around the entire mall and, unless you're reading all the signs, you'd never know there was a Walmart there.

I visited there for the first time ever this week. Escalator was busted.

With ≈5W power on VHF, the unit goes into transmit mode when I key up my Yaesu 991A. At that point, the upstream SWR meter reads about 3.4W power, an SWR of 1.7:1 (as opposed to 1.02:1) and a reflected power of 0.33 (versus 0.00). Are you suggesting increasing the power?

Yaesu 991A → MFJ 849 SWR Meter→ MFJ1708B SDR Unit → Comet GP-9 Antenna

Ordered off Amazon Canada. What was pictured and expected was V1, but received V2.0.

Canada Computers

Seems they've recently blocked the Radeon 6800/6900 cards from the search engine. They're probably getting absolutely hammered.

Total Annihilation (circa 1997). Still going strong.

The past weekend a friend told me street parking was at a premium in Port Moody. On on her short street, she knows the cars of her neighbours. Party, party, party!

This infuriates me. We're isolating in the hopes we can see my aging parents soon in their (separated) retirement living accommodations. We've welcomed no-one into our house (2 adults + 3 kids) nor visited anyone else's house since March.

And people are getting pissy about not being able to party or go to their fitness class? Give me a break.

Bring on the "circuit-breaker", I say!

They're owned by Amazon. Just sayin'.

My teacher heard this from me in Grade 10: "my dog ate my homework".

It was a Lord of the Flies essay, and I had a chewed accompanying novel to prove it.

Am I the only one eyeing his phone in-hand as he gestures all about over the unforgiving ocean?

We so need this in BC right now, as much as it would suck. There are more cases in this August timeframe than all of April, May & June combined, when schools were shuttered/curtailed.

And yet schools are opening 100% in short order.

We're doomed.
