I Think Leazel is a traditional German/Austrian name. Wasn't one of the Von Trapp kids Leazel?

It's like Sputnik! Quite spherical but pointy in bits.

Where I live we are allowed to smile for a driver's license, but not a passport photo. I think it's because when you are traveling long distances you are going to look miserable so your passport has to reflect that.

First, I agree with everything you typed. BUT

Second, "a little fortress of solitude and separates me from the public" is kinda the problem we have that leads to the top part of the picture. We in the West in general and the United States in particular have lost our sense of community. My car by myself listening to what I want in solitude is AWESOME, but stopping to sit and be part of a community is probably better for me.

Ideally I'd just be able to pay you.

I think I can see where you are coming from here. The difference between your creativity and writers, actors, musicians is that while your work is used by the company you built the system for that company isn't selling it to someone else. You built infrastructure.

Writers, actors, and musicians work is being sold by the companies they work for as a revenue stream.

This is the part that pisses me off. It should be same crime same time.

There are definitely less lightning bugs now. I remember there being tons growing up, but now I rarely see them, and I live very close to where I lived as a kid.

This is the problem with people that think in terms of being "management". Management will always have an adversarial relationship with everyone else in an organization simply because they think they have to. The longer they stay in those positions the worse it gets.

I think I can understand your point. Large ‘“media” companies will horde the content and refuse to let it see the light of day because they believe they own it. I don’t think that’s how it would go down. Anything I’ve ever produced to be put on the web still exists somewhere on a hard drive that I control. I doubt the big name educational YouTubers are deleting the source material as soon as it goes up to YouTube.

Besides, a lot of the good ones have already moved to Nebula as well. If thought like educational YouTube you should check it out.

Hello! I’m trying to figure out what kind of chipset/shared RAM would best suit a given scenario. There are two graphic-intensive things I use my current setup for (late 2019 i9 32GB MBP), and both seriously drive the Activity and CPU/GPU nuts slowing everything down to molasses.

  1. I regularly need to use three screens for work. The built-in retina display, an external monitor, and a 65" Promethean board (a Promethean board is similar to a SmartBoard). All three need different information on them. Currently, I need to downsize the resolution on the external monitor to avoid lag/freezing.

  2. I do a fair amount of video editing using Final Cut Pro. I’m not importing 4K video, but I do regularly need to combine several 3-5GB video files into several multi-cam clips. The background tasks often slow the process down. While scrolling the timeline view to insert titles the audio track preview (waveform) doesn’t render for several minutes.

My questions are how to avoid this on a future laptop. Would the extra GPU cores on the M2 chips do a better job with these tasks or is this a CPU issue? Would there be a noticeable difference between the Pro and Max chips and/or 32GB versus 64GB? Ideally, I would like to be running both Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro at the same time.

Thanks in advance for any replies. The new shared RAM has me scratching my head.
