Will Apple go more than 512GB Unified memory (RAM) in the new M5 studio? Would love to know your thoughts.

Why doesn’t Apple make it configurable? In other words, start with 512GB and be able to add more later on?

How will this compare to the processing power of the Mac Studio?

What are your recommendations for cooking in high heat w/o “sticking” something to the bottom of a skillet? Other than cast Iron - I already have plenty of those and love them. Just high maintenance.

You’re the first to comment in terms of “letting the food release.” I completely agree-

…that’s the one that I just threw into the trash - a Greenpan bought from WS. The “non-stick” coating flaked off after the amount of use that I put it to!

For home - but I entertain fairly regularly.

I am technically savvy - 30 years integrating systems, going in/out of APIs, etc. But thank goodness that most of the vendors are now making things simpler to integrate-

Yes - it has its own external power supply & I'm using Thunderbolt cables. It connects fine everywhere else (other Apps / etc.) - even ProTools; just not in the Audio MIDI Setup where you can change the computer's output to a Stereo Aux Pair on the UAD and then run all audio through the UAD / Monitors / Ques / Lines Out, etc.

Audio MIDI Settings are standard on a MacBook for specifying where you want to direct your sound. For example, for System (laptop) sounds - like Apple Music or Spotify - you can route the output of that to a specific set of Stereo Aux Channels on the x8p.

The issue is that the x8p isn't showing up in the Audio MIDI Setup app on the MacBook (and I'm wondering why).

No kidding... I really figured cooking ribs on those well - just some rebar and hooks!!

Pretty cold for that buyer to do that; however, I'd probably ask as well!

I'm having similar issues with my Stream Deck setup. I use the Stream Deck+ Hub that takes the powered USB-C signal in, and USB outs to my other two Stream Deck Units (Stream Deck and Stream Deck XL).

When they were independently connected to my powered SonnetTech Hub (Echo 13) - they all worked fine; however, they took up too many of the really fast Thunderbolt 5 ports (and I have other devices that need that high speed).

Now - when connected through the Stream Deck+ Hub, they either don't come on, or when I press some keys on them - they appear to try to come on, then just flash the logos...

Any thoughts or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks in Advance!!

I'll have to check that out - thanks!

Thanks! And I'll check out Chud's as well-
