  • The biggest features missing from Final Cut Pro for iPad at launch

    riclf said:
    Why would a Final Cut Pro user go to an iPad to do their work, in any case? They already own a MacBook Pro,
    I’m a desktop user of FCP (since v1 was released), and I’d love to go iPad to rough cut and demo work in the field.  
    Not mentioned here is media storage & management. I guess a compact usb-c ssd would be the way to wrangle some multicam 4k footage, but the files app is woeful for the project & media organization the way I like to work.

  • M2 Mac mini vs M1 Mac mini - compared

    Very very tempted to jump on a M2 pro mini.  I'd bump the cores and memory, maybe a step or 2 up in storage, since it would be fastest and convenient - even though I'm used to keeping my startup drive lean.   Much as I'd love a studio display, that would have to wait.  I'm hoping the Samsung ViewFinity S9 is significantly cheaper. I'm not going to use the speakers or mic of the studio display.  If not, could still go for a LG Ultrafine 5K.   Wish I could just use my 2015 iMac 5k screen! 
    I'm used to 2x 27" (the other is just a 1440, but keeps same effective size, so fine to offload less critical windows.).
    I'm about to give up on a big new iMac - or if it comes it might be prohibitively expensive.

  • Tim Cook casts doubt on new M2 MacBook Pros in 2022

    2015 iMac 27 here.  No Ventura for me. Or in my late 2016 touchbar MacBook Pro.
    The desktop is a priority to upgrade, but I also am not happy with choices.  The 24” would feel like a downgrade. I already have a second 27” second monitor beside, use lots of screen real estate and use if as my main video & movie screen.
    A Mac studio & studio monitor would be swell, but way pricy compared to where the large iMac cost when it was around.  I’d love the specs of the studio monitor, but not at that premium.  The design of the new 24” is great. Just supersize the screen with those color depth specs and open up the pro/max/ultra options….    Otherwise I’ll be reluctantly getting a M2 mini and a different brand monitor.

  • Elon Musk orders Twitter to charge $20/month for verification

    Tesla and Space-X are great endeavors. Boring company and Neuralink not very promising ones. 
    Twitter with Musk isn’t going to be a radical breakthrough, and probably won’t go too bad and burn out either. 
    I will look into Mastadon, which I’ve heard mentioned before.  But I want moderation…

  • Instagram users are geting 'account suspended' errors

    My wife detained me for 30 minutes this morning in a meltdown. Just one of 3 accounts she runs lol.  I told her just to chill after being able to see the blank account from linked one and that there were no violations…
