    Luddite new computer recommendation

    Pro is the better call for Trapper. The M3 Pro is better suited for video editing and, again, the speakers on the Pro are much better than the Air. Important for everyday listening? Nope, especially when most people use headphones. Important for music editing? Yup.

    Luddite new computer recommendation

    I'd get the base-level M3 MacBook Pro. Comes with 18 GB of RAM. $1,999 sticker price, but you might be able to save some $$ through Apple's education pricing or through retailers' back-to-school savings. MacBook Pro because the extra RAM is useful for video production, but even moreso because...

    Luddite new computer recommendation

    Just to add to this: It's been a few years since I've used a Windows PC or Chromebook, but 8 GB of RAM on an M1 chip (the lowest-end "Apple Silicon") absolutely screams for most tasks. I do stuff similar to Sumner. I occassionally do photo editing and video editing. I push code. I always have...

    Roasted GOAT

    Mostly, but it's tradition for the target to get the last word.

    Roasted GOAT

    I'll watch it, but I'll regret it. TB12 is the GOAT and probably responsible for the most sports joy in my life (Pedro is close). But dude is not funny. And Patriots jokes told for the lowest common denominator doesn't seem like a good time - it seems like re-living the worst part of the Brady...

    Yeah, if you're already using an iPad and iPhone get a Mac. The integration between Apple products is the reason to use them. I copy something from my Mac and paste it on my phone (or vice versa) at least twice a day. Want a laptop? Get one of these...

    Larry Lucchino dead at 78

    Well said. Larry brought us Theo, the Monster Seats, and the gorilla suit. It's impossible to tell the story of 2004 without him.

    I got that one wrong for the same reason.

    George Will's Baseball Quiz - Spring 2024

    The Washington Post published a baseball quiz earlier this week, and it's trickier than I thought it would be. I'm batting .300 after 10 questions. Here's a gift link: https://wapo.st/3PKBoee I'll update when I have a final score, and I look forward to your results. Edit: 23/41. Not bad, but...

    March/April 2024 MLB Gamethread

    I've never seen that in the majors. I love baseball. It's spring training so no big deal, but if this game counted who takes the blame for this? Is the equipment manager or clubhouse attendant responsible for going to Cronenworth and saying before the game "glove looks a little rough there...

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    Yeah. I've given this doc a loooong rope and I'm mostly watching it uncritically, but I think Kraft has zero crredibility during this sequence. For Bob Kraft to say, "Well, Tommy was looking for Bill's approval in a father/son way, and it's not in BB's nature to give that" -- and to imply that...

    Is this an app? A UX tool? Help me be less dumb.

    Just a word of caution on the bolded: I don't know much about glitch.com, but be careful when using ChatGPT for work stuff. "Everybody's doing it," you say, and you're not wrong. But ChatGPT's licensing and IP stuff is weird (in my professional opinion). It would suck if suddenly ChatGPT...

    Hit the Road, Mac: Where will he be next season?

    I voted New England. To be clear: I don't want him to start for the Patriots. But I also don't understand how he has more trade value than Trey Lance. Given that, I think the right move for Mac is to stay in New England and try to establish his value in whatever role he earns.

    Is this an app? A UX tool? Help me be less dumb.

    Your company definitely does. If you have the questions and the weights, you can hand them to your internal tech team and get an estimate how how long/how much it would take to build. At the risk of being That Guy, you could probably give this to an intern/jr. worker and have them mock up a...
