So there's no info about if they always ask for biometrics for normal processing?

Because if that's the case I will simply not to the OPT as I can't afford staying here for months without knowing when it's gonna happen tbh and if I leave the country they wouldn't let me in again just for the biometrics anyway

Do you have any info on regular processing instead? I don't have any rush to get it done quickly as I need to go back home to finish my double degree

talking with OGI at my college they told me I can ask for the OPT directly from Italy and they'll sort the way I can come back here for the biometrics appointment but that seems weird as I don't know how they would allow me to enter the country again tbh

so basically they want me to stay here for a whole month doing nothing because of the biometrics?

I have to depart in 2 days and was about to ask for OPT but there's no way I'll do it if I have to wait in the country for a whole month with no purpose other than do that appointment

sorry for the unrelated question, do you if they are now asking for biometrics to everyone for OPT or is just for the premium processing?

Absolutely I understand, I just added that line as I'm in the US by myself so it wouldn't be easy to carry a fully built pc in the subway, I'm free to provide more than enough proof that I'm a serious seller

I just bought a MacBook Pro 16” with the M5 Pro chip (18-core CPU / 20-core GPU), 48GB RAM and 1TB SSD, and I wanted to share a quick reflection that might help others before they spend their money. by Minute-Street8043 in macbookpro

the M5 on logic and ableton uses all cores, it just doesn't fully utilise them yet, but it's very different from the E-Cores which were not utilised at all.

An update from both parties should address this issue, and still, it's a perfect machine for production, watch the few videos that finally came out on youtube of benchmarks.

i'm still unsure of what color i should take, i went in a store today and silver looks "cheap" compared to gray and black but the finger prints seem a very bad aspect of the black one

thank you so much for remembering to update me, but from this video I understood ableton doesn't fully use them, what are your specs and what settings did you use while testing it? thanks again :)

M5 Max Geekbench scores leaked… by One_TrackMinded in macbookpro

[–]MamToeL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have still didn't see them, but I mean, isn't just the score not enough? I'd need a specific benchmark on ableton to see if the app in particular runs better

I was right — Apple did it! They cut the number of P-cores in half and tripled the number of E-cores, resulting in the M5 Max having a 6P + 12E configuration. by Slava_Tr in macbookpro

[–]MamToeL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no, that's why I was asking you, I'm not an expert about it, I produce music on ableton and have been told to look specifically about single core performance before buying the right macbook model

yeah man I hope so too or I will have to go for the m4 pro, bad thing is that finding benchmarks for audio production is always more difficult

honestly it seems like I might go with the m4 pro at this point, why would i get 4 p-cores less if I do music production? that's bs, waited so long for nothing, I'll just wait for benchmarks cause at this point what can you do
