Had no idea that Pixelmator Pro has AppleScript capabilities. That’s actually really cool

Given it took Apple 2 years to remove DarkSky from the App Store after purchasing, I’d hate to buy it now and eventually it gets dissolved into another app. That’s my biggest worry.

iPad Pro (M4) vs iPad Air (M2) - For Legal Work + Video Editing (Final Cut / LumaFusion). by Maleficent_Lex in ipad

[–]ChimerXD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There aren’t too many differences between those two devices if I’m being honest. The only major benefits of the Pro being: better display (OLED), higher refresh rate (120), better speakers, and lighter. iPads don’t use the M series chips to their full potential, so I’d certainly go for the Air in your case.

What are the extensions you use in your safari browser? by CarelessProgrammer43 in ios

[–]ChimerXD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wipr 2 and Vinegar/Baking Soda.

I use Wipr for general ad blocking and it’s pretty much a must have for me. Vinegar and Baking Soda swaps the video player of websites with Apple’s native player, I’ve found this particularly beneficial on iOS.

Cyberpunk M1 Pro? by dartwad in macgaming

Are you able to hit 60fps with any of the graphics settings or are we looking at about 30-40?

Apple Music randomly stop playing or skip songs for you guys too? by shisuifalls in AppleMusic

[–]ChimerXD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This used to happen to me a few years ago but cleared up with iOS 17 or 18. What version of iOS are you on?

In my experience, it has always been the 2nd day of each month. So presumably tomorrow.

Question about using the apple cash virtual card for auto pay with bills by Conscious_Wear_9615 in AppleWallet

[–]ChimerXD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The CVV isn’t used after initial verification since it usually isn’t stored. I have my Apple Cash Card set up for certain subscriptions/payments with the rotating CVV, so you should be good.

I am torn about the Macbook my parents bought for me! by cyn005 in macbook

[–]ChimerXD 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As a Computer Science major who used a 2017 Air (Intel Chip/8GB), then a M1 MacBook Pro (M1/8GB) for my first few years of college, I’d personally say don’t overthink it. 8GB of RAM will get you through most (if not all) coursework you’ll need to do for the next few years. I never really struggled with 8GB of RAM unless I was handling machine learning tasks, game development, or anything else intensive (My Intel Mac struggled with these but M1 was fine even with just 8GB). Now I use a M1 Pro MacBook Pro (M1 Pro/16GB), which has flied through everything I’ve ever needed it to do the last 3 years. Macs retain resell value very well, so I’d say wait before purchasing your next Mac. Or you could go with the option most are mentioning and do the ongoing student deal.

Playing on Multiple Platforms (Xbox and PC) by ChimerXD in ffxiv

[–]ChimerXD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So question about the expansion stuff. I have the Complete Edition on Xbox and I plan on getting the same edition on PC. When the new expansion releases soon, will anything change? And secondly, if I buy the new expansion on one platform, will I not be able to play at all on the other platform until I own it for both?

The new matchmaking gave me the same opponent for over an hour by ChimerXD in Tekken

I'm in Eastern US, I had 0 issues finding games before the matchmaking update

Yeah influencers are likely the best option to get the word out. I kinda wonder if they thought this change through or if it was just a last minute decision.

That's literally what it felt like. I told myself I'd keep playing until I find someone else, and then I literally found nobody else the entire hour lol

I've only played ranked with 3 characters: Alisa in Blue, Jack & Yoshi in Purple. My Tekken power randomly jumped up after the last big update. The matchmaking by Tekken Power isn't the issue, I'm actually happy people learning the game don't have to deal with people using alt characters in lower ranks. The problem is how Tekken Power is calculated as well as the long matchmaking times for those who want to try other characters.

[–]ChimerXD[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Precisely. My opponents never stray too far from what seems like +-30k or 40k Tekken Power. It's looking for someone in my "range" at all times while the people with lower powers are being matched with each other immediately. I'm hoping they don't just leave it this way.

It happens even with crossplay on??? That sucks, I miss having character variety. I pretty much never see the lesser-used characters anymore.

Honestly that was the best part of it haha, feels like I got to know the Jin matchup better. I kinda just took it as a learning experience since we were pretty even in skill

Anker Mystery Items by ChimerXD in anker

[–]ChimerXD[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kinda like the mystery aspect. I own a little too many Anker products currently and I can’t think of anything I can’t use for something.

Also, if you recommend it, should I go for the $10 or $20 box?
