This is going to come in handy in future!

 

The other person will see “call failed” instead of “call ended”, which gives you plausible deniability.

Happy to help! I think it comes down to budget too. If you have $1000 to spend, you can get a 4K projector that can work even with dim lighting. But if you only have $300-400, then you're starting to look at slight tradeoffs - picture quality might be worse with a projector, but then the screen would be bigger and it would be easier to move around.

If you know anyone with projectors, you should go try one out and get a feel for the differences!

If there are fairy lights, it might affect the color a little bit, depending on the brightness of the projector. This depends on your budget - anything decent should be fine, you just can't get the cheap $250 Chinese ones. It's also a solveable problem, since you can adjust the brightness/direction of the fairy lights.

Having to move and store it would be the biggest concern for me. A projector is easier to pack and unpack, but has the issue of a separate projector screen.

If you're able to, say, use one flat wall as a makeshift screen, I'd personally choose the projector.

How much space do you have? Do you intend to use it mainly after sunset (which could be 9pm+ in the summer depending on where you are)? By outdoors, do you mean a sheltered area (do you need the equipment to be portable)?

It's a Chris Nolan film. That's the only way to get the dialogue.

...Seriously though. His films have such poor sound mixing. Thank the heavens for dynamic compression.

 

Ever feel uncomfortable holding someone’s child? Or don't like being asked to see someone's baby? Just say you're sick (or just recovering). The parents will be very happy to keep the bay far away from you.

 

Thoughts?

I've been using a projector for a while now and can't go back to the size of TVs.

That said, I do miss being able to watch TV with most of my lights on.

netflix is really trying hard to fill out their movie library.

Too bad I unsubscribed.

I can't concentrate with loud noises as well.

So I once made the mistake permitting a client to store some (say a dozen) boxes of financial records in my home for a couple of weeks. By ‘permit’, I mean they just dumped them there, and I didn’t physically restrain them from leaving.

You chose.... poorly.

why does your instance block lemmy.ml?

Don't know if this is "non famous" but... "Don't hurt no one"

 

I hope this isn't off-topic, but I found that searching across servers isn't really as easy as on reddit, so I thought we might share some of the other communities we like and see if everyone else has similar interests. I can talk about TV all day, but I also want to see other content!

I'll start with 3 that I like:

  1. Memes at https://lemmy.film/c/[email protected] , because everyone needs something low-effort to doomscroll

  2. AI art at https://sh.itjust.works/c/imageai , because it's kinda cool

  3. Stories at https://lemmy.film/c/[email protected] , because nothing beats that feeling of "i told you so".

I have both the headphones and earbuds! spent a fair bit but so worth it, especially for public transport.

 

Once I started using ANC, I couldn't go back.
