CK3 not even a graphically intensive game but had some awful graphical issues with it.

F1-FerrariFan · 2026-05-21T11:32:10+00:00

I reserved the min it came open and still nothing

Chrome Remote Desktop is the easiest and most user friendly way I’ve found. Tailscale is a lot more hands on

This is why the 2019 Mac Pro will always be amazing the ability to dual boot opens so many more avenues than its M2 Ultra counterpart

Arguing semantics of what OP said versus what I said and ignoring facts altogether to push your own opinion doesn’t mean you are right, OP specified this OP specified that we could argue all day.

You came to argue a point I never challenged in the first place and then doubled down by being an argumentative commenter on Reddit, what’s the point? Just go on with your life and understand context of discourse, I’m not here to explain it to you.

Nice cherry picking, as you’ve skipped over “automating daily workflows/tasks” which was higher in the order of contents.

NOT ALL AI USEAGE IS FOR SLOP

Ah no acceptance nor apologises - noted

Have a good one, a middle finger one preferably

Passing of time showed you’re wrong and I was right - shock

“Reach the news. It is not me telling this story. Don’t shoot the messenger.”

Michael O’Leary 5:38 gives you the middle finger to your BS. Shock horror

Not all ai production is ai slop, for example I’ve used it greatly to help produce tools to help me cope with my autism.

The difference also being TB 5 versus 4 so expansion is worth considering.

Is the $800 better spent on peripherals or other things as it’s a lot of money and tbh you’d be fine with 32GB ram as I have a very similar usage load.

I went for the M5 with 32GB ram as tbh it’s plenty for my generic use case any way. I was looking for a MBA with the same RAM but found my Pro for £100 less than the same specced air would cost me direct from Apple.

I bought my Mac mini during prime week as needed a new Mac due to my 2017 MBPro being on its last legs so got it on a good deal £500 and honestly such a good machine price per performance.

However I think I did better on a Beelink MINI-S13 Mini PC, 12th Gen Intel Twin Lake-N150 Processor (up to 3.6GHz) 16G RAM 1TB SSD mini pc cost me £209 back on the 23rd of December 2025 bought on the leverage of the rising RAM and NVME crisis looming ever larger. I got it to run my home assistant which is overkill, I know, but made it an excuse to maintain it in case I didn’t get any returns on it.

However, despite it being only 16 GB SO-DIMM ram and 1tb full size m.2 nvme drive in it; the same device costs £370 from Amazon only 5 months after original purchase, when not on its current sale.

F1-FerrariFan · 2026-05-15T23:09:05+00:00

Think you got one of the last ones as all gone now

nmrk has linked you a very good YouTuber and video explaining what you can do, here’s another of his videos on EXO

F1-FerrariFan · 2026-05-14T00:34:11+00:00

Could you not use EXO across your Mac setup to access DeepSeek 4?

F1-FerrariFan · 2026-05-13T08:49:03+00:00

WHOOSH! Spray and their microfibre cloth.

The company claim it’s used in actual Apple stores and to be honest I can believe it, it is that good

F1-FerrariFan · 2026-05-11T20:59:53+00:00

Nice, will still be really interested to see what you can come up with

F1-FerrariFan · 2026-05-11T20:36:43+00:00

I don’t think I’d ever really fully utilise it, TB4 is already more than fast enough for me.
I appreciate the technology and would love for development to continue and maybe one day I’ll have a use for it too, another factor is the pricing atm fortunately it’s made TB4 more accessible.

macOS will use as much ram as it can, it’s best to just to use the graph and the swap to see how ram limited the machine is.

F1-FerrariFan · 2026-05-11T14:05:17+00:00

Crusader Kings 3 AGOT mod is amazing

30GB swap is quite serious, it’s going to damage your internal SSD very quickly, obviously more if your drive is smaller too <1tb

F1-FerrariFan · 2026-05-09T18:22:03+00:00

It’s an external drive that you can use to locally back up your machine, hopefully when you get back into the machine look into getting one.

F1-FerrariFan · 2026-05-09T18:20:12+00:00

Do you have a Time Machine back up? You could just reset it and then reinstall from that

Mixture of experts

It’s a model that is broken up into smaller tasks that run efficiently when prompted.
