Reply to comment by ntack9933 in Future Mac Pro may use Apple Silicon & PCI-E GPUs in parallel by chrisdh79
A computer like this rendered every animated movie you've ever seen. A computer more expensive than this runs every website you've ever logged in to. A computer a hundred times more expensive than this has processed every bank payment you've ever made.
You're not achieving what you think you are.

Mac Pros are commercial machines meant for heavy rendering tasks. Computers of this class can cost upwards of $200k. In fact, the most powerful computer Dell will let you spec costs $400,000 and comes with 7.5 TB of RAM.

They've been closed since March of 2020 because of Covid. They still fixed phones there but the rest of the rooms were shut. They reopened yesterday though

Definitely. I don't often take the subway aside for my usual pretty safe route and all I hear about it is that it's full of crazies. Experiences like this give me hope in humanity

It was pretty neat. I had to get a screen protector replaced on my phone so I spent like an hour walking around playing with the devices and drawing among us characters on all the tablets. I'm very mature.

I feel like the mythical Apple folding phone is next up to this list too.

Pretty much how this usually goes. Samsung invents something, works out the kinks, then a few years down the line Apple uses it and markets it as if they made it. And then people flock to it. OLEDs, minimized bezels, variable refresh rates, and so much more.

Nice completely unprovoked rant you did just there.

My new computer came with Dolby Atmos for Headphones. After months of using stock Windows Sonic for HRTF compensation, I can say with absolute certainty that Atmos on PC is absolutely, positively ass.
Barring the fact that enabling it on half my games (IL-2, Rise of Flight, Space Engine, and more) causes certain audio to only shoot out my left headphone ear; when Atmos finally does decide to work, sound coming from straight ahead (notably car engine noises in GTA Online) is very noticeably distorted and compressed as opposed to with Atmos turned off, or with Sonic turned on.
I've tried all the settings, I've tried all the modes, I've even tried creating custom modes. Nothing fixes it.

Even better than consumer-grade earbuds is a set of EtymÅtic monitors. I have an ER2SE and properly inserted they're the closest thing to dead silence

My favorite part is when the train's announcements are one or two stations out of sync and you have to guess where you are.
Or better yet, hopping a train bound for either West Side Avenue or 8th Street, but with broken exterior lights, so you get to roll a dice to see which line you ended up hopping on.
