Start a new job next year, wondering if I should get the new 16" MBP or get a PC laptop. I've never really used a PC properly before, is it worth the mac not being as fast for video vs learning PCness?
- Is work paying for the machine?! I guess it's a preference over OS. I cannot go to a PC ever again, BUT stick to what you like, are comfortable with, etc.ideaist
- My understanding is the new MBPs are killer at video. Faster than the $15K Mac Pros even.monospaced
- Yeah, they'll buy the machine so I reckon I'll go with the highest spec MBP. We have some PC's in the studio to test stuff, but I find the interfaces annoying.PhanLo
- I've been doing simple 4K linear edits with my macbook and it's blazing fast. There are some software bugs because of the new hardware but those will get workedzarkonite
- out over time. I think the M1 Max is a good future proof CPU that works well now. Don't buy into the hype tho, you will need a lot of ram.zarkonite
- it takes half a day to get the crtl + apple button down. other than that the two mouse buttons is a real kicker. GO PC!AQUTE
- but highest spec mac or highest spec PC. i am sure PC would smoke it. if work is paying run that bill mofo!AQUTE
- Get the Macstoplying
- Mac it is!PhanLo
- @zarkonite There's a nasty memory leak bug in the first release of Monterey that may or may not being affecting you RAM use!evilpeacock
- @evilpeacock there's that, but you also still need ram to load up your data, swapping off the SSD while editing is still a bad idea.zarkonite

I mean this can't be right man! My brand new M1 Macbook "Pro" with 16GB Ram is saying this with a few apps open. I've not seen a message like that in about 15yrs!

you might need to check for Monterey Updates.uan - flol mail needs nearly 1gig????hans_glib
- That's weird, the new M1 are much more memory efficient. Some bug maybe or Adobe app causing this?NBQ00
- Been happening every day. Photoshop and Illustrator didn't even have any fucking documents open!Hayzilla

- oh i know this pain! limit ps memory usage to 6g and here is something to check on memory leaks
https://github.com/d…sted - illustrator and ps is a pain in the ass, sometimes i see a large clipboard data getting stuck and eating memory for no reason.sted
- @grafician
LOL It's not my mouse size.
Thanks anyway.Hayzilla - @inteliboy
I talk to my wife all day on Skype.
Been doing it for 10yrs. Habit now.Hayzilla - @sted Thanks. That memory leak thing looks far too complicated for this old man.Hayzilla
- The memory leak bugs are reduced in the recent 12.1 update — however from forum posts apparently they can still occur.evilpeacock

Hi,
so I'm setting up my new MBP and it's running Big Sur.
Question are:- Can I upgrade to Monterey without any issues with Adobe? Anyone facing any relevant issues?
- Anyone using Serato? I received aa Email from Serato a couple of Months ago, or Rane...asking for people to not upgrade immediately to Monterey. Anyone?
- Any other issue I might be aware of?
I just hope my Wacom works or else I'm gonna be really pissed.
Thanks!
- Just stay on Big Sur? My rule of thumb is stay (at least) one major release behind, and it's served my pretty well.section_014
- Serato should work, but Rane SL boxes do not. Try searching reddit/r/djsbocadeets
- ^ this... I have SL3 Boxoey_oey
- thanks!oey_oey
- I'm gonna stay on BigSur for now...I just love my Mixer though I'm eyeing another one for two years now...oey_oey

The first 1 trillion $$ company.
The first 2 trillion $$ company.
And now the first 3 trillion $$ company.
- $4T next year?grafician
- But tech. no yet, it will be around 182, stock now at 179 and getting down afgrafician
- Apples at an all time high and no clear indication it will go down significantly any time soon. Their pipeline seems solid af and services continue to killmonospaced
- ^nah, these huge valuations are in big part because of rampant inflation, not because Apple is better in any way.grafician
- They’re up 20% the last 3 months alone. Impressive.monospaced
- I said nothing about being better, just that they continue to perform well, specifically services. We already know the iPhone killsmonospaced
- Microshit is up 50% YOD that doesn't mean they did anything good.
The markets are a huge bubble rngrafician - Microsoft did a lot of good, IMO. Xbox, eg. if there’s a correction, it won’t be huge, and both companies probably have enough momentum to counter it.monospaced

I need an extra App to navigate all my iPad files in my MacOS?
And those files and folders are not even visible and accessible in my iOS?!I feel dumb...am I missing something?
- Now that I have the time and can start to use my iPad in a more serious way I'm finding things out that I really can't understand...wow!oey_oey
- Hmmm you can use Dropbox for file sharing between ipad <> macos
Sometimes Apple has trouble even with the basics, that's truegrafician - thanks, now I know that also...took me 10 minutes after trying to fumble around first.oey_oey
- I regret a bit deleting my Dropbox account 10 years ago when I already had 20GB...oey_oey
- Don't forget to actually move the files from the Dropbox folder [on the desktop] after you copy them in there from the ipad.grafician
- Also apps like Procreate save the files locally on the iPad's filesystem, don't forget to copy those to the dropbox toografician
- thanks grafician that's good info. but I'm not gonna start a Dropbox account. I have NextCloud and I'm happy.oey_oey
- I think the free version of iMazing is enough for now. if not I will have to see and will consider Dropbox. thanks!oey_oey

My M1 mini crashes more often and less predictably than the end-of-life 2012 iMac it replaced.

$3T
"Apple has reached yet another major milestone. The iPhone maker topped a market value of $3 trillion Monday — the first publicly traded company ever to be worth that much.
Shares of Apple (AAPL) were briefly up about 3% to a new all-time high of $182.88, surpassing the $182.85 per share it needed to be worth $3 trillion. The stock later pulled back from that level.
Apple's market value first crossed the $1 trillion threshold in August 2018 and passed $2 trillion in August 2020."

Apple Keyboard: $99
with Touch ID**: $149**identical design plus touchID feature
**feature does not work on non-M1 devices
**feature does not work when macbook is in clamshell mode (pretty much the point)+$50 for that one mediocre and unnecessary feature! Yowza

My work shipped me a 16” MacBook Pro M1 MAX. Lol I would have preferred a 13” or 14” but nobody asked me.
Anyway, this thing is huge, heavy, boxy, and kind of absurd. Without tapered edges it’s so clunky looking and feeling. It has giant rubber feet. Looks ridiculous. The notch doesn’t bother me and the UI around it is interesting.
This may be impressive tech but it feels like a step back in industrial design. It reminds me of the design of MacBook from 2006 but with a cheap plastic keyboard.
- it is ugly AF, getting mine on Monday (ordered 12 weeks ago ffs) but went to the apple store to see one in the flesh at the weekend and was appalledkingsteven
- glad i did, would have been such a disappointment unboxing. 64gb/ 4TB tho so i'll forgive it i'm surekingsteven
- They keyboard is annoying. Plus now my speakers make a scratching noise every so often.Chimp
- I absolutely love my 16" M1 Pro, and I think it looks amazing as well. So there.mathinc
- Why get a Laptop at all?section_014

- will get a mini when they come out. laptops = bad ergonomics and no point when you WFH.shapesalad
- Looks boxy I guess, but the actual usability and ergonomics are an improvement IMO.yuekit
- Also find it funny complaining about the size...wasn't the main criticism prior to this model that Apple was obsessed with making their machines as thin asyuekit
- possible at expense of everything else?yuekit
- I hated mine when I opened the box, now I love it.aliastime

I wonder if it was a mistake to buy first gen M1.
I have Air since last summer, it crashes weekly. The screenshot happened after installing Monterey.Also Indesign has horrible bugs, text disappears, that might be Adobe's problem but even latest updates couldn't fix it.
Compatibility is still an issue with several apps.- If possible I'd have held off on Monterey (I still am since 10.3 reports haven't confirmed that all known bugs are fixed)evilpeacock
- Issues with Google or other third-party software aren't a huge surprise with a massive architecture transition either.evilpeacock
- As to InDesign, Adobe's last annual big CC version jump is only a couple months old, and as usual is still pretty buggy with many of their apps.evilpeacock
- Oops! Monterey is 12.2 as most current stable release, but I am also following 12.3 beta tester reporting.evilpeacock
