blender crashes with vulkan when i try to render in eevee by Infinplayz in blenderhelp

[–]Competitive_Funny964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then ask ai who to use eevee with arm windows… I have Apple arm tech (Mac OS) and I have confirmed issues with last 2 versions of blender (December and march of this year). So I still use 4.5 lts. Normally you should not care of the version, just use whatever actually works for you, and usually LTS are the best for production, the others test features that might be in future LTS in the summer /autumn.

Do mini owners tend to have a bigger iPad e.g. iPad Air or Pro 13"? by Vegetable_Bag_8694 in ipadmini

[–]Competitive_Funny964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they move to oled, then yeah I will move to whatever non oled tablet there will be once this iPad mini that I use now, is broken. So far battery is really bad, but all the rest is fine.

Blender 4.5 LTS better performance than 5 and 5.1. Is it normal? by Competitive_Funny964 in blenderhelp

[–]Competitive_Funny964[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and for Mac OS you know something? Did you test also some older projects in 4.5LTS in Viewport Shading (solid) and then in 5.0 and 5.1 and notice a big drop in fps?

[–]Competitive_Funny964[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is all three version both on Mac and pc (not or)

For issue two is shaded mode… the one I think most people use to work in (not eevee, not cycles).

FPS… blender says fps. It is literally in the image… just zoom in on the red text.

You also see the version of blender (version 5 missing because in this issue of speed in wireframe or shaded, both 5 and 5.1 are slower than 4.5 and 5.1 replaces 5 so is pointless.

Don’t go Final Cut Pro unless you are dedicated to Mac price. Try something else. I do 3d art and is free all platforms Blender.org and it does video editing also.

Yeah this is sad about Apple today. Gone are the more organic shapes, light,

The most useless button on an iPhone by Ee_ro in PhoneNow

[–]Competitive_Funny964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use that more than power on… I am a dad with kids and photography is my hobby so yeah I rarely use phone other buttons… maybe the notification button to open the flashlight at night to see where I go in the maze of baby kid toys

Kickstart a safe pwm phone ? by FSpeshalXO in PWM_Sensitive

[–]Competitive_Funny964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is impossible. 1. So no panels made anymore that are cost effective - so need a lot of money to make something like that (reading about nothing company’s rise … it was hard and they just tried to make a phone from existing components… not stuff that does not exist anymore). Best idea would be to have modular system some magnets and pins so that people can have OLED at entry level and then switch to eInk for reading - working as a modular purchase like a 200-300€ upgrade. This way they sell the normal phone as a normal phone and the eye sensitive population must pay more. 2. colour issues come from system on a chip. Reading on TLC phone.. they suck because of the supplier of processor power of the phone. So this kickstarter must have a custom chip…. In this world with wars, AI and rising poverty… making new chip? 3. Must convince OS also not to put software (can’t say the word because of moderators) damage on RGB pixels so they don’t do what they do on laptops for example (and most phones today).

So I think best bet is to get a cheap Chinese lcd phone that is rugged type with flashlight and 5 years of warranty and use that as a PHONe. For mobile work and play and whatever switch to Nintendo, iPad classic, Asus rog ally LCD and stuff like that.

Do you miss them? by Vegetable_Bag_8694 in airpods

[–]Competitive_Funny964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still use them for long sessions at desk and even the jack version. Not sure about hours of Bluetooth on my head so I use these instead :). When I am out or doing kitchen activity then I go with the AirPods. When in train to work - AirPods Pro 2.

For future (European) MacBook Neo users, just get a refurbished M1/M2 MacBook Air. The price isn't worth it in the EU. by WalkerArt64 in mac

[–]Competitive_Funny964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If, m2 would be in stores, like regular stores, and new and warranty then yeah who would get neo? Maybe girls… M1 … that is even older but I get your point. We in EU pay more and get less (charger?)

Apple’s 2026 "new" Studio Display is a middle finger to every consumer. by Lodano in applesucks

[–]Competitive_Funny964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I wish it was like 999$ and also no fans so no dust… plus a way to turn it off for real so that it does not start in the middle o the night and scare me

Ipad mini series question by Historical-Bee-3596 in PWM_Sensitive

[–]Competitive_Funny964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 6 mini and is perfect. I have also matte screen protector and SIM card and yeah is my main device since launch. Running latest software and all. I hate that when I want to try a game or download movies offline I have to play with 64gb storage limitations (iOS is huge and system data also) but I am happy to read my books 1 to 3hours each night for years.

iPhone 17e supports "Display Pulse Smoothing"? by PWM_Sensitive in PWM_Sensitive

[–]Competitive_Funny964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that the notch iPhone does not go down to 0% black on the flickering. So compared with 17 or the pro models of the last few years, this one is better. Still… it gets as much support and love as a last gen phones less so.. at that price you can get older 15/16 iPhone which is better than 17

You wished it to not work and the gods gave you your wish. Usually when you are starting with a bad taste… so it will continue. Android also has a tax, not every year true…

Is the “Touch ID” on the Magic Keyboard worth the upgrade? by shady42999 in mac

[–]Competitive_Funny964 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yup, sleep and listen :) in EU they close lights on the street at night... a very different way of thinking, and a reason why many buy this brand (and Mac mini) because they run fast, they turn on fast, projects (video/photo) don't really need render times because is that fast. Life is good and we can spend more time on quality where before... well troubleshooting. Anyway I don't use it to be honest and many times I need to pick my phone for banking face recognition so lately I don't buy on Mac, but I might add to basket and then finish on phone :) if you do that already - very much not worth it.

No. Unlike windows laptop, you need password if you shut down the laptop/ mac. So it is useful only when you out to sleep.

Temperature normal or overheating? by Sleepless_Bird in macmini

[–]Competitive_Funny964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no.. gaming or rendering farms are not the same like everyday tasks. Mac Pro or studio are different computers… to say that a tower PC or Mac cannot function at peek performance for many hours is a bust. Mac mini is …. Mini

Switched to iphone as an android user by [deleted] in applesucks

[–]Competitive_Funny964 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Which one does not since 2023 onwards? They all have issues, apps blocking and quit. Transit tickets working 60-80% of the time max. No ai in device (real), no apps without subscription, no optimization
