Apple
Should I get:
A) MacBook Air M3
8-Core CPU
10-Core GPU
24GB Unified Memory
512GB SSD- or -
B) MacBook Pro M4 PRO
12-Core CPU
16-Core GPU
24GB Unified Memory
512GB SSDI prefer a smaller, lighter computer for travel. 99% of usage in clamshell mode at my desk.
However, I want to start diving into AI more, so option B is more powerful for +$500. Is B going to make a difference?
- for $500 more B is a no brainerspl33nidoru
- BGnash
- Pro vs Air. Waaay more powerful. If you can spare it go with the m4 no question about it. Or consider an M3 Pro with more memory which is what I did.monospaced
- I'm kind of in the same decision process...the pro is a mean machine, but heavy and big. also considering M4mini + Air or IPAD for presentation stuff.uan
- Bmilfhunter
- in my world all this GPU CPU power is to much. video editing or rendering or playing with own AI models is where you need that power.uan
- B, that $500 will pay a bit of tech dividend for a few years. I think the neural engine on the m4 is much more powerful vs m3 for AI stuff as well.dibec
- for such a difference in power for 500€ only...and if you have the money, def Boey_oey
- K I was leaning toward B but it seemed strange that it was only +$500. (Not a lot of money in 2024)nb
- The extra weight is annoying but I can live with it. Seems like you’re all agreeing on B, which is what I leaned towardnb
- The 14" is pretty lean. I chose it over the 16" and I don't entirely regret it.monospaced
- Twice pro, it has to be very pro! Buy it!!OBBTKN
- I went for B. Do not regret it one bit.futurefood
- Don't buy a black macbook. I truly regret it.stewart
- Why do you regret black?nb
- i got an ipad pro this year with the m4. fucking amazing. logic pro for ipad is amazing.ephix

Some of you probably have a friend like mine...
a real starving artist
shit constantly hitting the fan
won't hold a normal paying job
gets hit by cars on his bikeHe likes to work on very large pieces, and now wants to put them on shirts.
Question. What is the easiest way for him to do this? Take a photo with super high resolution • Bring it into photoshop for retouching? Crop and output.
There has to be a more professional way than using an iPhone, or? Can't he pay someone to do this for him in a professional manner?
- Asking for a friendmonNom
- Easiest and cheapest way would be iphone. Better would be good lighting & camera with a lens that doesn't distort (e.g like too wide an angle).microkorg
- There are places that will scan huge paintings for you but I imagine they are not cheap and would likely cost more than you'd ever make selling tshirts.microkorg
- When it comes to tshirts, print on demand places like Threadless are the thing to use to start off with. Just upload your designs.microkorg
- You don't need to invest $ in inventory.microkorg
- Take multiple shots, bring into PS and use Photomergei_monk
- +1 photomerge for best possible resolution. But really, for a T-shirt you aren’t going to be constrained by resolution. iPhone will be fine.monNom
- I think the photo merge is the best option because I can't imagine a full frame will not distort. I remember people would scan their work in segments back when.canoe
- He has a shopify store now MicroKorg, you analog lover boy
He needs to find his marketplace niche - file under Afro Galacticcanoe - *gets hit by cars on his bike
this is a very sharp pointer of that demographicBeeswax - There are a ton of online guides on this but outside DLSR on a slightly overcast day and adjust in photoshop has given me the best results, for no equipment.webazoot

- I used to hate it because I didn't trust it, but everything has this now so I just use it and cross my fingersYakuZoku
- Yeah. I love this thing. I'll take my chances. Gmail makes up for the risk by filtering out spam.CyBrainX
- this is everywhere and it's annoying, specially cause I don't have a Gmailoey_oey
- Yeah, because I need Google tracking more the websites that I visit regularly and for them to make even more money from me.utopian
- Ridiculous UX... social login is great but bury it in a prompt modal the user has decided to engage... why is it so popular?prophetone
- I’ll tell you why... because despite kicking dirt on the ux and ui... odds are it actually increases user log ins and initial site sign ups so pm’s love itprophetone
- And pm’s are just fine with the intrusiveness if the data is positive... but look at this example gif, just floating all over those nice cta buttonsprophetone
- this is the real world reason it’s everywhereprophetone
- Well the other reason is if you’re not interested in building a nice ui this is a quick and cheap, pre-baked login solution to be fairprophetone
- And also *coughs* a free brand ad for Google front and centerprophetone

Romania calling
grafician, what's your take on the Romanian court's annulment of the result of the presidential election's first round?
- Justice prevailed. The system finally worked as advertised. One thing to want some political change, other to fall for a putinist...grafician
- So democracy won. Nice.monospaced
- The guy - "CG" - is basically a lunatic, people found out, now he is playing the "system against me" card. He will probably leave the country or get arrested.grafician
- Now we will reset and restart the entire process all over, but with A LOT MORE INFO about each candidate.grafician
- Centrist-right parties want to propose the current mayor of Bucharest as a fresh candidate, he would be a very good option too!grafician
- The Stock exchange jumped 5% on the day, a lot of congrats calls from EU countries and US, we dodged a bullet for now...grafician
- @mono Yes, totally. It was basically election interference "by a foreign state actor" several investigations opened today...grafician
- "We'll keep doing this until they get it right" stated a pentagon official who chose to remain anonymous because he was not authorized to speak on the matter //monNom
- @monNom Yep, people def want real political change, but a pro EU, Pro Nato candidate, not lunatics!grafician
- He will prolly come back with more support and power. That's how it works nowadays. Erdogan was once jailed he used the card just like Trump.Beeswax
- Erdogan is actually smart. This guy is an actual lunatic, with a "messiah complex"
You should see his videos and "speeches", crazy stuffgrafician - Before elections, he had something like 3% support, he got thrown out from AUR the far-right party, and in last 2 weeks bf election he was pushed on tiktok...grafician
- by a close "foreign state actor" and ppl on tiktok voted for him, he got 2M votes, everybody was like "who tf is this?!"grafician
- He has support from extremists, nobody normal in their right mind would vote with himgrafician
- Anyway, crazy times, nobody expected this outcome, but Europe will take notes, Tiktok might get banned, change will happengrafician
- More https://www.rferl.or…grafician
- What's remarkable is that this essentially validates how exceptionally powerful social platforms are in influencing public perceptions, and election outcomes.monNom
- @grafician - what do they mean when they call that guy a "legionaire"?monNom
- this gives me hopezaq
- I hope Georgia will also fix their situation.grafician
- @monNom it was X in the US, it's Fb and tiktok anywhere elsegrafician
- Ok so about the "legionaire" he supports actually these fuckers: https://en.wikipedia…
Basically neo-nazisgrafician - Yikes. And 23% of the vote too. Huge support.monospaced
- It was mostly fake support, a lot of people backtracked for second tour, posting they were sorry for voting badly lolgrafician
- People that voted for him are pretty dumb, think MAGA people, but in Romania...
I guess they are MRGA people, easily fooled by cheap wordsgrafician - So they’re fake because they’re dumb?monospaced
