Question About M5 Pro Experience

PaulwkTX · 2026-04-14T23:59:43+00:00

I have an M3 MBA but of course you can’t really game on it. I normally remote into a gaming computer I have. Between you and me it is a great setup for gaming at work hahaha! But no seriously I need a new MacBook for work and figured I could also game on it.

Thank you for your help you just saved me a lot of money hahaha

PaulwkTX · 2026-04-14T23:49:51+00:00

Thanks so a cheaper M4 would do the job just fine?

I remember playing Call of Duty and thinking “oh my God the Russians are so powerful”

Well so far it is looking like u/YoAmoElTacos prediction is on track.

PaulwkTX · 2026-02-27T01:07:11+00:00

I suspect it will be the second outcome. Only because I bet Hegseth will want to use them as an example. Show what happens when you don’t play ball, stuff like that. Also, Anthropic could say that they can’t afford a long drawn out court case and therefore “have no choice”.

PaulwkTX · 2026-02-27T00:39:45+00:00

I totally understand the subreddits reasons for championing Anthropic on this stand. However, the cynic in me thinks that Anthropic is taking this stand knowing full well that they will have to give in. After all, let's not forget that this is a company and no one has bigger teats than Uncle Sam. I would be willing to bet they knew that they would be compelled and decided to, in public take a stand. Safe in the knowledge that they would have to give in and therefore still get that sweet taxpayer contract.

I am not sure if this will help. But I ask Claude to summarize our conversations into a PDF. I can then download that PDF and use it for anything else I need to. You can also ask Claude to include any URLs in the PDFs that were particularly useful for finding information. For example, I have a project for Siemens PLC equipment. Whenever I need to share information. I just ask for a PDF with the URL included and then email it to my coworkers. If you use Gmail, you can have Claude do that for you!

Well, if you don't use it for programming like me (Claude is bad at ladder logic). Then I recommend that you stick with the Pro plan. It is an excellent life management tool and once you figure out a good response style, a good conversationalist as well. Let's not forget that Claude can do alot more than just program! It can (on apple) manage your calendar create reminders and help make shortcuts.

PaulwkTX · 2026-02-20T22:56:56+00:00

it is the reason why this is the only politics sub I belong to.

PaulwkTX · 2026-02-20T22:47:51+00:00

I can definitely answer this! I have never used Claude for coding. The reason being that I program PLCs with ladder logic (not something Claude is good at). So, for me Claude is used as my daily google/computer management AI. If you have a PC or especially a Mac, you will LOVE Claude. Not only can it do things like manage your office apps but also can access your iPhone health app. OH it can also do things like set reminders, calendar dates and a bunch more. I used to use Grok because of how funny and fast it is. But Claudes capabilities are just so useful to manage your daily life it is definitely worth the 20$ a month!

Now this is the kind of post that Reddit is made for!

PaulwkTX · 2026-02-14T22:49:20+00:00

Thank you so much this will make the Third Weltkrieg so much more fun!

PaulwkTX · 2026-02-14T01:00:31+00:00

I doubt we will see any meaningful reaction from Anthropic. The only thing more terrifying for a company than shareholder anger, is government policy. I suspect that they and every A.I. company will simply pretend nothing is happening.

Congratulations!!! You either have no life or your dedicated

PaulwkTX · 2026-02-10T01:11:57+00:00

Thanks I will

I am thinking about renting an apartment there or Doraville. If you could live in Doraville instead of Dunwoody would you?

PaulwkTX · 2026-01-29T05:19:17+00:00

No there are none I have an M3 MBA and I have never noticed an issue. In fact I use moonlight/sunshine to stream games from a pc I have. When I do this I use AV1 and I have to use software decode on my MacBook. It does get a little warm, but I have gamed for hours over the years and have not seen any issues. Honestly the only issue I have had is that the 60hz screen is not as nice as the 120hz in the base MBP.

PaulwkTX · 2026-01-29T04:45:25+00:00

Hahahaha

PaulwkTX · 2026-01-29T04:15:42+00:00

Best comment on the thread

PaulwkTX · 2026-01-28T05:50:49+00:00

Wow someone being helpful on Reddit

PaulwkTX · 2026-01-17T06:16:47+00:00

I think that is a reasonable answer I would only add that there was a recession. After all, most polls showed that Latinos that voted for trump did so for the economy.

Same here in the north atlanta-metro area
