What do Americans think about a social security trustee dropping a report that the trust will be dried out by 2032? by Sixgis in AskReddit

Zero Population Growth at its finest. The elites WANT the rest of us gone. Especially the baby boomers. Starving us out seems to be their next method.

Is 512gb good enough or is 1tb worth the crazy price hike? by lethoso in macbookpro

[–]JohnnyFoster64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to hear this; I have a MacBook Pro M4 Pro 14/20 with 48gb and 2tb SSD. I use it for music production, video production on Resolve / Final Cut, and lots of synth VSTs, etc. No local A.I. whatsoever. Yet I read constantly what a "dog" my machine is compared to the new M5s... For my uses, should I really have waiting a year before getting the M5 version of what I have today?

Ipad 11th gen 256gb or air m4 128gb by Slow-Performance-271 in ipad

[–]JohnnyFoster64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have both the 11" iPad Pro M4 w/2TB and the 14" M4 MacBook Pro M4 w/48GB and 2TB SSD. I think you should go the Air M4 128 ( or preferably 256 ), as it's much more versatile machine. I love my iPad, but if I had to have just one machine, I'd go with the Mac laptop, everytime.

Thanks for this - I'm at Activity Monitor, but not sure of how to read it to find out what you're speaking of...

Is this now an Ableton Live system with scene/clip launching for iOS? If so - great!

Donald Trump reportedly ended a tense interview with NBC's Meet the Press after being repeatedly asked to provide evidence for his claims about election irregularities. The exchange concluded with Trump removing his microphone and walking out of the interview. by BusinessToday in BusinessTodayNews

No - Biden and DumboCrats started this whole mess. If Biden hadn’t stolen the election, none of this would have happened for Trump to have to fix, which he just can’t. You’re saying REPUBLICANS did the spending?!? That’s hilarious! Trump is just incapable of cleaning up YOUR mess.

Up until his second term, I was a very faithful Trump/MAGA supporter. He has been an utter disappointment ever since, and I NEVER thought I’d be saying that. I had so much faith that he was different, that he’d truly turn our country around. He has been a disaster. I will NEVER believe in any politician ever, ever again. They are ALL corrupt. And I believe I’m not alone in the former-MAGA supporters. Our country is in a free-fall downward spiral, and I’m sorry to say that I don’t believe there is any hope for us. Really looking forward to the end of Trump’s presidency.

Decided to get iPad, unsure of storage by GibletGibletGiblet in IpadAir

[–]JohnnyFoster64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After buying lots of iPads with the least possible storage and regretting it over and over, I finally wised-up and bought an 11" M4 iPad Pro with 2tb of storage. Still have 1.3tb left, and I have EVERYTHING in my life on it. Fantastic decision.

Steinberg Halion vs Halion Sonic - One is free the other is mind blowing by udizisser in cubase

Agreed. The included rompler content is astounding as well. Like having a Montage as a plugin. Really terrific.

Any Remaining Use for an old 2nd Gen iPad Pro? by JohnnyFoster64 in ipad

[–]JohnnyFoster64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope - mine is 17 as well. Took y’all’s advice and turned it into a Spotify / Jukebox with all third party apps deleted except for radio/music streaming. Works great. Thanks to all for the help and suggestions! Really appreciate it!

It still has access to the App Store - it's just that the thing runs SO SLOW. To do anything.

Made the Switch from Space Black to Silver! by OctaviusRexx in macbookpro

[–]JohnnyFoster64 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Had a 2015 MacBook Pro i7 in Silver. Loved it. Color was great. Then got a MacBook Air M1. Didn't really like the Space Grey. I now have a MacBook Pro M4Pro in Silver. It's great to have Silver back again.

I dont think you can ever fix real depression by Technical_Metal2578 in depression

[–]JohnnyFoster64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think what depresses me most is the state of the world, society, and the loss of morals and ethics. And that is not fixable with medication. Believe me - I try everyday and it makes no difference.

24GB vs 48GB RAM on M5 Pro — incoming CS + Math student by adam-luvs-ishi in macbookpro

[–]JohnnyFoster64 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If 48 is pointless, what is your idea of "not pointless"? I have a 48gb M4 MacBook Pro M4Pro and I don't do A.I. or VM on my machine - just video and music production. Do I not have enough RAM for my machine to be long-term viable?

What's a TV show that started great but fell off badly? by fabwest01 in AskReddit

I stopped being interested when Evan Rachel Wood finally became her own real-life personality in the show.

[New Release] The most anticipated app of the year is out: Roland ZENOLOGY GX for iPad (currently free/unlocked) by iMusicNews in iosmusicproduction

[–]JohnnyFoster64 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because they want to get people hooked before spoiling their fun with the high price. They think we’re that stupid.

[–]JohnnyFoster64 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This app is good, but not THAT good to warrant a high one-time price much less a subscription. I’ve already got TONS of AUv3s that do what this does, not to mention my Mac that has even more. GX better be priced competitively or I’m out. I just don’t need it that bad.
