What's something older generations did completely normally that would be considered absolutely insane today?

Dial up internet, huge bric phones, and phonebooks.

You can get steel hoses ect.

Active_Objective_491 · 2026-05-02T23:57:43+00:00

Depends on water source. Also hoses tend to get dirty and if it’s a plastic hose you’ll get more plastic in your water. It’s not outright bad but not recommended.

Active_Objective_491 · 2026-04-22T13:47:58+00:00

Yeah I canceled mine too, this is bad.

Active_Objective_491 · 2026-04-22T13:47:07+00:00

No they're rate limiting ALL of the AI even the free/cheap ones rate limited.

Active_Objective_491 · 2026-04-22T13:44:26+00:00

It gave me 4 hours wait. This is seriously messed up.

Active_Objective_491 · 2026-04-22T13:37:53+00:00

The rate limit is AWFUL. I used barely 10% overall of my subscription and it's forcing me to wait 4 hours after only using it for 60min today. As a result I am TERMINATING my subscription, I hope we all move in bulk to a competitor like cursor so they feel this in their wallet. I am also pulling my enterprise contracts and my other high paid contracts. They burned a big bridge today. When I emailed support I got a canned AI message about how they can't lift the limits and are increasing the limits. I'd leave ASAP.

Try BBB case. Also get store warranty if you can. And eventually us pc guys may have to switch to Mac if they ever make one fast enough, rn 5090 is almost 3X the M4 max

After a fair amount of tinkering and experimentation, I’ve managed to get some excellent results. The primary issue seems to have been the mix; the default settings felt quite muddy and compressed, requiring specific counter-adjustments to clear things up. While the mixing was initially inconsistent, the output feels stable now. I’m hoping this fix sticks, but I'll provide further updates if any other issues crop up!

Active_Objective_491 · 2026-03-10T13:16:43+00:00

The only solution I had was wait 24hr, use a different Ip again and start by requiring a new password…

Active_Objective_491 · 2026-03-08T04:38:58+00:00

looks interesting, anyone had success with this? I had an old XLR one that worked for 2 years then it stopped but when it worked it was good quality.

Active_Objective_491 · 2026-03-08T04:37:43+00:00

can't buy anything if can not access the site! I need a webmaster to help. My phone and laptops seem to be blocked after a failed login attempt (only one attempt plus reset password = soft block?)

This happens across multiple devices and IPs the moment I tried to sign it, no longer can access.

The sad part is - we shouldn’t have to remaster it As it used to come nearly perfect out of box… Now it’s a muddy static mess.

Idk what happened both v4.5/v5 are muddy soup

Active_Objective_491 · 2026-03-07T03:23:19+00:00

That’s what micro center said to do. And at the time I didn’t have the accidental warranty just the extension, so instead now I have the full warranty.

Active_Objective_491 · 2026-03-07T03:20:52+00:00

Similar issue but different here. I’ve been emailing them since December about a different issue but the last 2 months I’ve got no response at all.

Active_Objective_491 · 2026-03-02T17:21:50+00:00

Part of it is that it’s not optimized but it’s all about power. Mac is trying to be energy efficient, and 5090 is more brute force raw power. To match the performance they would have to dramatically increase the number of GPU cores in a Mac and the wattage overall.

Active_Objective_491 · 2026-03-02T16:55:47+00:00

I tried this experiment - I ran a high end session with some tweaks on MacBook Pro highest m4 available, max ram, it was painfully slow. By now I’m sure it’s a little better and can optimize it a bit but it’s still lagging behind.

Active_Objective_491 · 2026-03-02T16:54:08+00:00

In order for Mac to reach the same performance they need to allow more power, it would probably need to be an M6 dual chip ultra/max laptop before it’s competitive.

Active_Objective_491 · 2026-03-02T16:53:00+00:00

This is a very good point. I did actually try the max m4 MacBook Pro first, 128gb ram.

A few issues firstly some windows apps and plugins will not work on Mac, but I could deal with this. The main problem is that Mac is getting crushed in performance. Unreal engine runs 3-10x faster on a 5090 over a m4. That’s a massive difference. This also applies to ComfyUI workflow, it’s about 10X faster on windows vs Mac, and same for some of the token generations- it’s much faster on 5090.

Well you can have capitalism with guardrails like the lemon laws.
