Sadly, from my experience in my German city we don’t have the upper hand here. All streets in the city center are completely overcrowded between 4 and 10 pm during our christmas market season. Same with parking garages near the city center.
Your mention of unix_surrealism is a good point, it really is quite a unique community.
Also for me, the 3 day no poop question will forever be deeply tied to lemmy. It only unfolded days after I first joined, and I believe it was the first big piece of lemmy lore.
This toot is a response to a very similar question from someone else.
Also keep in mind, LTS versions always offer 5 years of support, so the current PopOS 22.04 LTS will receive support until April 2027, and the new PopOS 24.04 LTS will receive updates until April 2029.
PopOS isn’t going anywhere?
They’ve been working on their own Desktop Environment (COSMIC) for quite a while, an alpha and a beta already exists and the release is planned for December 11th (source).
Verifying yourself wasn’t what I meant, sorry that was a bit unclear. I meant make sure you don’t fall for marketing bs, and maybe try to use the same good source of info for comparison. I usually compare projector specs on https://www.projectorcentral.com/, they have specs on the vast majority of projectors out there.
I’d be wary with old business projectors, their blacks usually suck ass. Specifically I’d heavily prefer Epson EH-TW and Optoma Home theater projectors to Epson EB projectors. The difference in color is night and day.
The audio advice is solid though.
Make sure you don’t get scammed on a projector, always make sure to look at the native resolution, not the “supported” one. Also make sure to verify the lumens, all the listings with 10.000 lumens are using a different kind of lumens than those with 800 - 3000.
Last but not least, I wouldn’t get anything used with over 2000 lamp hours.
For those confused, it’s a space suit. I thought it was pajamas for way too long though.
From what I read, the modern solution has smooth 60 fps, compared to 2-10 FPS with the JPEG method. Granted, that probably also factors in low network speeds, but I’d imagine you may hit a framerate cap lower than 60 when just spamming JPEGs.
