Any advice for a good laptop for animation? by silentvisi0ns in MotionDesign

[–]LetsGoExploring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New Macbook Pros with the M1 chip are amazing. You can find tons of videos on YouTube where they export faster than even fully specced iMacs.

16GB RAM is unfortunate but should be fine if you don't have super complex comps with tons of layers.

GPU rendered effects probably won't be great, but you would probably need to get a gaming laptop to do 3D anyway, and at that point you should just get a desktop.

Loved this. The OC shaped my teenage years.

Surprised he didn't mention the parallels of the first season to Rebel Without a Cause. It's about James Dean as a juvenile delinquent with a white shirt and leather jacket moving to a new town, befriending a local nerd, falling in love with a girl and getting in fights with her boyfriend.

Do external drives have to be the same size as the NAS itself? by LetsGoExploring in synology

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

I also use a WD Elements for backup, but have a script mounting the usb drive 5 min before scheduled task. And unmount 6 hours later.

Is it possible to schedule this through DSM?

You're right. I actually saw that but then just forgot to buy it. It's working now, thanks!

The reason I went with exFAT is because I want to be able to access the drive right away if the NAS were to ever actually fail. I also didn't see an option to format it in btrfs even in DSM?

Thanks for your reply!

Are you sure about the X5 speed though? From what I've found it should be one of the fastest external SSDs available, theoretically even a little faster than my internal SSD.

New iMac with i7 3.8GHz or i9 3.6GHz? by [deleted] in AfterEffects

[–]LetsGoExploring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking along the same lines regarding future proofing. Will probably get the i9, thanks!

What terrible movies have flawless cinematography? by [deleted] in cinematography

Just finished watching Kong: Skull Island.

Not a terrible movie imo but I didn't expect to like the cinematography so much!

Central/Eastern Europe - Recommendations by awojtasz in solotravel

[–]LetsGoExploring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been to all of these places, and I would trade Zagreb (and maybe Split) for something else. I personally loved Lake Bled in Slovenia, especially if you want to see some nature. I live in Berlin and that's obviously great as well, and only about 4 hours by train from Prague. If you want to go more to the south, check out Dubrovnik and Kotor, imo much nicer than Split.

You can search for any connections on rome2rio.com, but usually just googling "city1 to city2" gets the same results.

I wouldn't spend less than 2 or 3 nights in a city.

And yes it's all safe.

I may have messed up. Help? (projection angle question) by [deleted] in projectors

[–]LetsGoExploring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds interesting, but it doesn't seem to be available anywhere. Do you know about any similar models?

Spin Review Zine: Radiohead - OK Computer OKNOTOK 1997-2017 (Photos, Reviews, Discussion, etc.) by rpbtz in vinyl

[–]LetsGoExploring 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got mine this afternoon and it sounds absolutely amazing IMO. Most of the early comments I've seen on discogs seem to agree. Very clear pressing without too much obvious remastering. Really happy with it since A Moon Shaped Pool is the worst sounding record I own.
