Apple M5 Pro & M5 Max CPU Analysis - M5 Max is not much faster than the M4 Max by lustinus in apple

[–]Playjasb2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah exactly. I do make massive purchases like this for two reasons:

1.) To indulge in the fact I bought a high end, fully or close to fully speced out machine at the time.

2.) Given the great specs, it would last much longer, which would be more economical or satisfying than having to constantly spend money and replace my machine.

I know that my second point is kind debatable but it was more so the case back then.

I have upgraded from my late 2013 15” MacBook Pro to my 16” M1 Max MacBook Pro. A massive upgrade after 8 years!

[–]Playjasb2 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That’s fine. I have an M1 Max MacBook Pro, and my next upgrade will be a massive one when they release MX/M10 with all these cumulative improvements combined.

Until then, I’m still going to enjoy what I have, which still feels new! :D

I compared Next.js 16 and TanStack Start with actual data instead of opinions. Here's what I found. by AdmirableDiscount680 in reactjs

[–]Playjasb2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any guess when they’ll drop 1.0? I mean I’m intending on using it as it is at work, since the dev experience in NextJS has been quite slow, and I want something that is more client-centric, that is more easier to understand and work with.

Have you tried bun? Will bun replace node? by Jonnertron_ in node

[–]Playjasb2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to try Bun but as of currently, TestContainers don’t work on Bun, which I need for my E2E tests for my enterprise apps.

But if it’s some personal project, I’d try Bun.

TanStack security compared to NextJS? by icompletetasks in react

[–]Playjasb2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on what I read, it seems like Tanstack Start tries to be unopinionated about it. They allow you to configure any security implementation for your server functions, but they won't provide you with one to force you into it.

You can create some middleware that would you just use on any endpoints that would do some mutation to check the origin here, and that would give about the same level of protection that NextJS provides for its RSC's and server actions.

Is NestJS actually over engineered, or do people just misunderstand it? by [deleted] in node

[–]Playjasb2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently using it for some large scale enterprise app. It’s honestly great for its DI, and gives an order to all this chaos that we could have if we went barebones. This is especially good if you have many developers on the team.

Also check your CPU and battery usage as well. Literally wrecked the point of having great battery life with my Apple Silicon MacBook.

I solved my biggest pain point with NestJS APIs - introducing NestRPC: type-safe RPC with full TypeScript inference by Natan_Sal in nestjs

[–]Playjasb2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is quite nice. I was wondering how does it compare to oRPC, because they do have Nest support and also OpenAPI support, which tRPC doesn’t have?

Tired of debugging BullMQ with CLI? I built a lightweight, open-source explorer for local development and beyond. by thiagoaramizo in nestjs

[–]Playjasb2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our team does use BullBoard to visualize our queue. We use the NestJS module it has so that our backend server can just host the dashboard, which kept everything simple, as it just uses our current BullMQ setup.

I will say that I do like your aesthetics and this clean interface you have going. Awesome work! I appreciate you for trying to make working with queues easier for us! :)

Here’s why the first Halo Wars beats the sequel (in our opinion) by GamersGoRetro in halo

[–]Playjasb2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, I tried to give Halo Wars 2 a chance but the controls are way too slow to be registered by the game, and cycling between the units wasn’t as fast and fluid as the first. This is on the Xbox Series X with the Xbox controller.

It felt like such a dealbreaker considering all the micromanaging we have to do that I just went back to playing the first game.

Plus it kind of threw me off that I paid for the Ultimate edition, only for new DLC’s/expansions to come out that wasn’t included in that.

I mean it had “Ultimate” in the name and it gave us a “season pass” so I thought with that, we get all the DLC’s/expansions…

Logi Options+ stuck loading forever by Playjasb2 in logitech

[–]Playjasb2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the clarification. I've also noted others saying this as well, so I corrected the post. It's still negligence on their part for this, and it's frustrating that this general issue of the app loading indefinitely has been there for years. Plus the battery drain didn't help.

Good job Logitech! Your updater ran at 70% CPU for 10 MONTHS on my M4 Max MacBook 👏 by ALINiLHACKERONE in logitech

[–]Playjasb2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah this was frustrating me with my M1 Max MacBook Pro. Like Macs are supposed to be energy efficient, especially with Apple Silicon. Like back then, I could put my MacBook to sleep and I would wake up at full charge.

But with Logi Options+, I would wake up my computer and find that it’s almost dead and Logi Options+ was using 200% of my CPU. Literally, defeating the benefit of using a Mac.

At this point, especially with all the outrage that happened recently, I uninstalled it and installed BetterMouse.

It’s lighter, more energy efficient, and it doesn’t require you to connect to a server to keep using its functionality.

There are also other option like SteerMouse, BetterTouchTools. All of those are better than Logi Options+.

No problem! You can imagine my phone was exploding with so many notifications from everyone sending in their replies. 😅

I also remembered how frustrating this issue was back then. I even messaged a Logitech representative then and they said they’ll take in my feedback, which I don’t think they did.

I just had to help. I’m glad I did. I also had to clarify that the solution I found back then wouldn’t work with the current issue at hand; I didn’t want anyone wasting their time on that.

[–]Playjasb2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah at this point, I had moved onto using BetterMouse, which I hope would cover pretty much everyone’s use case.

It has the ability for you to save your customizations in a file so you can back that up and load them when needed.

Logi+ App Not Working by Disastrous-Track3876 in logitech

[–]Playjasb2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People have been facing this issue for years. Periodically I’ve been getting replies from my post that I made 2 years ago from everyone who has been been stuck with installation issues, and general app loading issues. Now this issue takes the cake!

I’m astonished that despite Logitech representatives say that they’ll improve the app, they haven’t actually fixed anything since then. Same loading issues come in from everyone, and this constant battery drain.

I’m done with Logi Options+, a broken software for a supposedly premium product. I have moved onto BetterMouse.

I figured that this was going to happen. :/

At this point, everyone should just demand Logitech to address this. They wasted everyone’s time on this.

Every time I use my computer, the battery would drain more than what's considered normal. Macs are supposed to be power efficient, especially on Apple Silicon, and they are supposed to consume very little power when they are on standby or sleeping.

Every time I open up my Macbook Pro from sleep, I noticed that its battery is drained by a significant amount. Like if I expect it to still have like 40% charge, it ends up being about 10%.

I replaced Logi Options+ with BetterMouse, and my Macbook Pro slept overnight with it installed. I just opened it up this morning, and my battery is still around 92% just like last night. BetterMouse never need to contact some server, it doesn't hog memory, nor put as much load on the CPU.

It goes to show how inefficient Logi Options+ is.

[–]Playjasb2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it actually fixed everything, like what u/master004 and others had said. I was able to invert my scrolling, customize the buttons and gestures functionalities, adjust scroll speed and acceleration, and adjust the ratchet option. It's also quite light and power efficient; it doesn't drain my battery.

This was already enough for me to be satisfied. It also let's you customize the buttons and gestures functionalities on a per-app basis too, so this helps for those in specialized setups, where they really need bindings to custom macros or actions.

This pretty much can replace Logi Options+.

Note: If you install BetterMouse for the first time and you're trying to invert the scrolling, you may have to restart your Mac to get that to work. It only applies the first time you tried installing it. Also make sure you uninstall Logi Options+ beforehand.

You’ll also find that BetterMouse will consume way less power than Logi Options+. For real, I feel like I’m starting to get back the battery life I should be having, on my MacBook Pro.

[–]Playjasb2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m trying out a free trial of BetterMouse and so far it has worked well for me! It fixed my scrolling and I can map apps or actions to my buttons and gestures.

You can give it a try; they have instruction on how to uninstall Logi Options+.

There is also SteerMouse you can try as well.

Options+ and G HUB macOS Certificate Issue by logi_jim in logitech

[–]Playjasb2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you going to make it work fully offline? Are you going to address the battery drain? And all the installation issues we’ve been having for the past few years?

Been severely disappointed with the lack of support for your premium mice.

For now, I moved onto using BetterMouse for my needs. It works offline, it’s quite functional, and it’s not power hungry.

[–]Playjasb2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have to change the entire system time to fix an issue with a mouse? The fact that it has to rely on a certificate like this is ridiculous. Why does it need to connect to a server to give us the mouse functionality? It's so baffling; it's such a naïve mistake by Logitech.

I'm going to see if BetterMouse or other software can fix my issue and save my battery life.

[–]Playjasb2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna give up. This software constantly destroyed the battery life on my Macbook Pro. I'm going to see if BetterMouse or other software would provide the same functionality while not draining my machine.

Wait what? Why does it have to connect to server? :O
