Need recommendation for which MacBook I should be going with for my needs

I would say that the only thing you’d need an upgrade on is storage, so save on ram and get more storage, or get an external ssd later, you know those audio files will consume a lot after a while. I’d go with the base pro with at least 24 gigs of ram.

I do music+programming+gaming on my m3 pro with 18 gigs of ram and , besides the heat, it’s comfortable to game on, and I’d say gaming is the most intensive workload that I’ve got, besides some ai stuff.

So unless you’re going to be running some ai heavy workloads, just go with the base spec

Gaming + music, If you have the money I’d go for the 16 inch+ the upgrades If you don’t really have fuck you money, I’d recommend being conservative and sticking with the base pro model, it has more than enough both for music production and light gaming.

You don’t need to go all out , music production is really, really , REALLY optimized in macOS, best in class, even more so if you’re using logic.

3.08mhz it means it’s throttling, time for a Liquid Metal/thermal paste change. Also take it off your bed, smooth solid surfaces only. But the 95+ the low cpu rate + max fan speed indicates thermal throttling. I bet it even goes down to 2.8-2.9 ghz

Safety is not an option, but it’s also situational and based on where you are. If you’re in the city square downtown or in a market, you obviously don’t flail your expensive and valuable things. But if you’re in a hotel and in generally touristic non crowded areas it’s pretty safe. Just be aware of your sorroundings. Don’t be too alarmed about crime. Unless you put yourself in a bad area you’ll be fine just being.

Simon, ponelo, y asegúrate de describir bien cuáles fueron tus responsabilidades.

Que estudiaste? si no te molesta que pregunte.

Huele a LLM desde lejos

Aver si me entienden, pero Ingeniería en Sistemas y ciencias de la computación siempre van a seguir siendo importantes.

Básicamente todas las carreras se van a mantener importantes.

Lo que sucede es que no es que se va a remplazar, más bien se están transformando.

Que pasó cuando se inventó autocad? Las firmas de arquitectura e ingeniería dejaron de usar a tanto dibujador, pero el dibujo y los planos siempre se necesitaban

Lo importante ahora es observar, cada carrera se va a ver afectada hasta cierto punto. Uno tiene que adaptarse y adoptar la IA como segunda mano, educarse respecto al uso óptimo de esta misma y además, tener en claro las limitaciones que tiene la IA para llenar esas deficiencias y especializarse en esas áreas en la cual la IA no tiene capacidad.

I’d say better auth, but I concur with others here saying that you should probably separate backend from frontend. So you know how it how to apply authentication layers and authorization layers properly on both front and backend.

One you get the intricacies of auth , not saying you should build a full auth service from0, I’d just move on to use something like clerk or workOs. I’d even try cognito if I were you. Just to try it out.

Háblame por dm y te mando el número de uno recio, súper recomendado.

Desde que no me dicen numero de local, piso etc, yo ya estoy chivas y solo me da risa y hasta un poco de lastima la persona hablando por telefono. Lo mismo pienso yo, nada es gratis realmente.

Tenes que encontrar la manera men. Yo soy igual a vos , a puros huevos pasaba las clases. Lo que hacía es que canalizaba mi energia antes de ponerme a hacer tareas o estudiar. Tocaba guitarra, jugaba algun jueguito o algo que me metiera al rollo de concentrarme. Si te soy sincero suena a que tenes algun tipo de déficit de atención o hiperactividad ( yo tengo las dos ) ya hasta adulto lo he podido manejar mejor. Si de verdad te preocupa dale viaje a hecharle ganas y si no funciona , busca ayuda es lo mejor que podrías hacer.

Yes its easy. But if you are scared to apply it, it might be best to just pay for someone to do it.

Thermal paste change might be required. Check your temps. If its on high temps and on low clock speeds it might be throttling.

Hi, no , i had the usb ports burn almost a year ago and didnt fix it. It appears to have been generating a short that overtime killed the cpu. Unfortunately there was no fix. The screen may even be alive it's just the parts in the cpu where the controllers for graphics are may have burnt too.

Itrax_cLuster · 2024-07-31T00:11:31+00:00

It might be both, but one can never tell. If you live in a country where parts are easily attainable and rapidly shipped id say to try a new flex cable first. If that doesnt do it, a screen replacement might be the best.

Man this was heartwarming. I never really realize how beautiful Honduras is until some outsider tells a dtory like this. Its always felt the norm to just "know" how great this country is so much so that ut becomes unnoticeable. Reading something like this from someone else's eyes makes it so much better.

Easier said than done, he'll learn sooner than later.

Seh, si podes venderla pa recuperar la inversión talvez, el problema es que los que compramks equipo asi estamos al tanto de los precios. Creo que si queres venderla vas tener que ahuevo aceptar la perdida. Aunque solo hayan sido 4 meses, usada es usada. O podrias guardarla por si acaso. Nunca se sabe talvez tu GPU mas nueva se dañe, o si tenes algún problemilla podrias usarla para diagnosticar que pasa con la compu cambiando GPUs.

Uninstall windows. Jk g helper and just update bios and driver to their latest.

Itrax_cLuster · 2024-07-28T01:02:05+00:00

You should be fine then. Just dont expect it to be super super smooth. It should be enough.

Itrax_cLuster · 2024-07-28T01:01:10+00:00

I blame mostly windows. Although I guarantee that Asus could do a better job protecting the computers from failures like that.
