some useful Cintiq addition

Post by slowtiger »

I'd like to have some drain at the bottom of my Cintiq, so the sweat which runs down and spills on the keyboard now is neatly collected in some container on the side!

(It's going to be 33° C in Berlin today. How do others manage to draw in these temperatures?)

Isn't the surface of the cintiq hot enough so the sweat evaporates before reaching the bottom edge ? :) :)
Quicktime is DEAD. Get over it and move on !

Air conditioning. These are pretty normal temps for us in the summer and add to that humidity levels close to 100%. Without AC most computers would overheat and cease -- as would their operators. :) I consider central AC an expected, routine business expense, like heating in the winter and electrical lights instead of candles at night.

I keep a close eye to the temperatures inside my Mac. As long as it's under 50°C all is OK.

In germany we're not used to air conditioning at home. In offices and cars, OK. If summer temperatures continue to go over 30° in the future, this may change.

You'll both work faster and live longer. It's the way of the world under climate change conditions.
