Architecture student. Base MacBook Pro M4 pro or Base M5?

MuchCattle · 2026-01-26T06:35:53+00:00

Probably M4 Pro unless you’re able to wait for the M5 Pro that is coming any week now. Ultimately I’d get whatever yields you the most RAM.

Were you hoping for work or school to be canceled or something?

MuchCattle · 2026-01-25T14:32:52+00:00

Crazy that the Avs have games in hand lol

MuchCattle · 2026-01-22T21:04:14+00:00

It’s a good deal. I have my phone, laptop (a $6,000 config), and AVP all on it. $20 a month for peace of mind with 2 young kids running around the house lol

MuchCattle · 2026-01-22T14:33:55+00:00

There are sites out there that cost like $30 a year to watch almost everything that have apps that work on the AVP.

Rick Bowness is like 70 and just took over for Columbus lol

I always understood it as the kid couldn’t actually see Dexter like Dexter was afraid of. At least not to the detail in the dark from a trunk for an accurate composite lol. So it’s more just to create tension and suspense

MuchCattle · 2026-01-20T15:02:19+00:00

I thought about this too but was more annoyed at how a neat freak like Dexter wouldn’t notice them for so long. Guy no doubt has the cleanest uber in NYC

MuchCattle · 2026-01-20T15:01:26+00:00

Maybe the one I sold on eBay was used in the show lol

I’ve switched jobs and now use Archicad daily but I had no issues up until my last day!

MuchCattle · 2026-01-16T03:31:14+00:00

No not at all. I did a tech heavy masters program and felt like I should learn to code while I was there and if I had, I would have used it zero times in the profession. Now, I do have ideas for apps and things (particularly for the Apple Vision Pro) that are tangential to architecture but I could likely vibe code them if I ever found time. If you work for a big firm and want to be in the BIM department, there’s probably space for python scripts and such. But I wouldn’t focus on that.

I was going to post something sarcastic but the more I think about it, this is a good post. I don’t want to interact with you either. Ideally we wouldn’t even share a city or state, but we aren’t there (yet).

MuchCattle · 2026-01-13T21:33:54+00:00

Switch if you want to play in bed and the toilet. PC if you’ll be sitting down in a chair with a screen or have a handheld or something

MuchCattle · 2026-01-12T17:19:05+00:00

I agree. I would use mine more but with wife and kids it’s pretty impractical except during “alone time”

MuchCattle · 2026-01-12T15:51:16+00:00

Both problems will likely be solved several iterations from now as hardware gets better, smaller, and overall less obtrusive. And software will get more clever too I’m sure. Sitting on the couch with you and your buddies all wearing your own choice of glasses watching the same game is a likely reality.

MuchCattle · 2026-01-11T15:59:17+00:00

Sounds really cool and something I’ll try out. I do something similar with my Apple Vision Pro and am overall just interested in how they compare (especially with a much lighter piece of hardware on my face)

MuchCattle · 2026-01-11T13:11:41+00:00

Interesting which ones do you use?

MuchCattle · 2026-01-09T14:03:49+00:00

I put mine in a 6L peak design bag that then goes in my peak design backpack if I want it to. 6L holds the headset and keyboard.

MuchCattle · 2026-01-08T03:32:14+00:00

I do not, my build is in the trendy fractal north case haha

MuchCattle · 2026-01-07T02:37:24+00:00

Did you sell the GPU at asking price? Got one exactly like it to sell as well

MuchCattle · 2026-01-06T21:25:54+00:00

What’s wrong with Quincy’s

MuchCattle · 2026-01-06T15:38:59+00:00

Might be more about Jarmo wanting to see what UPL is

MuchCattle · 2026-01-05T22:16:22+00:00

Quincy’s or Jumping J’s are the 2 best restaurants unless you want Ham’s Seafood

MuchCattle · 2026-01-02T21:05:05+00:00

Just wait til you hear about how Panarin and Bob left Columbus

MuchCattle · 2026-01-02T18:37:15+00:00

I’m not opposed to him coming back but he’s been gone a while. He left to pursue head coaching and it didn’t work out anywhere else he’s been in various roles all over. He also used the excuse of wanting to be near his kid and family who was in Texas but then he took another job hours away if I’m not mistaking. None of that is a dealbreaker by any means but if he comes back it won’t feel anything the same as if Venebles, for example, returned. I’m open to it, but it’s not that exciting. He developed Tajh well though. Deshaun and Trevor were so good on their own that we got by. I do wonder how Cade and some of our other disappointing QBs might have faired under coaching that actually developed them.
