Marvin said: Mac version doesn't support Nanite so it can only run those scenes with a patch. Unreal runs pretty well on M-series Macs though: (Rosetta version) The M1 Max GPUs run about 1/5th-1/6th the speed of a 4090 comparing the same res…

BlueLightning said: Like many home users, I use more CPU than GPU cycles. There are also hardware video coders and decoders, as well as the 16 neural/AI cores that are used for video functions. Apple is mostly a consumer electronics company. …

Xed said: Neither you nor Bloing mentioned AI readers as your target group for your comments. The statement was "I would never recommend you use an email service without using your own personalized domain" which is a very unreasonable recommenda…

Xed said: Um, no. The average user doesn't know what MS records are and I'm not going to walk an octogenarian through that when the iPad and Apple TV are already a lot for them to handle. True, but in that case, so is using email. (And, my p…

Xed said: I would definitely recommend using a free email service over telling the average person who isn't very tach savvy to purchase a domain, purchase an email service to use with their domain, and to set it all up on their own. My mother do…

BlueLightning said: Remember that TSMC makes the majority of CPUs/GPUs for AMD, Apple and NVIDIA (and many others). Samsung makes most of the remaining leading edge chips. Intel is way behind, and any high performance chips they have are not …

StrangeDays said: kurai_kage said: Yeah probably not. Apple hardware will (continue to be) more appealing for a wide variety of creative professionals. The forest and Rivan shot were impressive right up to the end where it drives aw…

Heh, just a funny little anecdote... but I just caught up the other day with an old friend who works in top-tier tech support of a big multinational IT service (ie. he does tech support when the tech support at companies or vendors get in over their…

Eric_WVGG said: There are huge tradeoffs to using Google or Microsoft, and support is nonexistent. Actual good email services: Fastmail.com, Proton.me Gmail is good, so long as one realizes the tradeoffs (ie. it's stable, probably isn't g…

Bummer, I'll be waiting for the M3 minimally. But, my Intel mini w/eGPU is still doing well, so should make it just fine. Unfortunately, my son needs to buy something in the next few months, so we're probably looking at M1 Max or M2 Pro and trying …

tht said: Humans are contributing 100% of the CO2 increase in the atmosphere. ... 100% of the human produced CO2, I suppose. Sorry, I just don't agree with much of what you've stated. To me, this is a bit akin to the debate over just cutting…

vvswarup said: Tech companies like Meta and Google did massive layoffs because in the years leading up to the pandemic, they spent money left and right, and spent even more during the pandemic thinking that the money would flow forever-except…

timmillea said: This stunt appears to be self-publicity. Neural nets being trained on big data can only achieve mediocrity at best. Neural nets are never going to be the leap in AI - it is provably impossible. Perhaps this guy ditched out wh…

This is the key phrase: "It is hard to see how you can prevent the bad actors from using it for bad things." Too many seem worried about the 'sentience' sci-fi view of AI, vs the actual reality of it just being an incredibly powerful technology in …

Scot1 said: I’m in Canada and my firmware says 5B58. No update available. Hmm, weird, same here (AirPods Pro 1). I tried making the situation ideal for the update, but they don't seem to do it. Unfortunately (I think today) I'm going to h…

dewme said: Very very tempting. I love the TKL / 80% layout since I never use the number pad. If you consider one, spend some time on their site and thinking things through. They have many more layouts to consider. (I was a bit shocked act…

I love my Keychron K3... so much I actually have two of them, and my son has one as well. I've been looking at the Pro versions, but one drawback to keep in mind, is less switch options with the Gateron blue/red/brown vs the Keychron optical switch…

Apple is as well setup as most any company to weather some tough time. Their biggest liability, IMO, is their appeal to higher-end, and/or luxury markets. If times get really tough, they'll get really tough quite a way up the economic chain. I suppo…
