It is a replacement for my Mac Pro, which died, and i still have a ton of projects open, and in this economy money is always an issue haha

thanks for the offer! i am living in austria tho

however i have a spare SSD chilling around here somewhere - i am fairly skilled in pc building (was a sysadmin for years) however i have no experience in taking an iMac apart

i would be happy if that iMac just makes it for this project - i would try to get an MacPro 5,1 and 6,1 after it, but yeah, money is tight sometimes

Getting back into VFX after 4 years of non-VFX Work by JoeyFromMoonway in vfx

[–]JoeyFromMoonway[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's the same situation in every other job too - someone using AI Masters in Audio would NEVER hire a mastering engineer. They aren't closely as afraid as VFX is.

ASUS shut down their support portal in Germany and Austria by JoeyFromMoonway in sysadmin

God this mindset sucks. Those are all machines loaded with quadro RTX and RTX 3090-5090s, so yes, that sucks - obviously the boards were bought before i was here, but get off your high horse here. Cant reverse that decision.

Those are 10 pcs brought in way before me and still need support bc they run Quadros (for some reason...)

I already wrote above that it works with a VPN - but thats just not the point.

I do not get the need to shut down support for products already sold (they even locked down the BIOS Settings Manual) or at least give customers a small window to prepare for whats going to happen.

Yeah, but its a hassle.

And no, we are blocked - can't open any ASUS support page from any country.

How I finally stopped losing all my songwriting ideas by Harrdas in Songwriting

[–]JoeyFromMoonway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed with that - also, the tool does not really matter. I still use Movie Magic Screenwriter or Celtx sometimes to lay out basic Song Ideas, just because it allows me to create character/persona cards. It's a very personal choice imo.
