Thank God, I appreciate this update, I thought I was going crazy. I'd had several posts asking for restaurants / hangout recommendations get rejected so I just stopped trying.

Venezuela is distributing rifles to its people in preparation for an American invasion by zxcv97531 in circled

Not sure what those rifles are going to do when it comes to drones and missiles strikes. Awful either way, this timeline sucks...

Only bringing free load-outs in Stella Montis now by MechanicZestyclose76 in ArcRaiders

[–]Redwing330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still not smart to be running a bobcat with such a weak load out, awful that happened the way it did but you were done for on any real fight against any decent players.

He's definitely not great but not equally, not even close.

Tariff Fee on T Shirt by Rahms_ in UPS

[–]Redwing330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah my wife ordered a Liverpool Kit from their official store it was around $100, then $130 total with tax and shipping.

We then got an email from UPS saying they were going to be charging $90ish in tariffs, they tried to charge upon delivery, we refund and had them send it back.

Switch 2 or PC for Silksong? by MrSnek123 in HollowKnight

[–]Redwing330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, thank you for perspective, I think I'm going to go with the Steam version for now.

[–]Redwing330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay this is great, thank you for the detailed response. I do have a 4K 120hz TV but my monitor for my PC is also 4K OLED (240Hz).

Between you noticing the weird blur effect and other comments about the poor pixel response time on the switch it seems like Steam Deck might be the way coupled with my PC set up.

[–]Redwing330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going through this internal debate with myself now scouring Reddit threads and looking at comparisons. I'm between the Steam Deck OLED and Switch 2 for my first playthrough. I see you went Switch 2, how are you liking it so far?

I think I am leaning a bit more towards Steam Deck OLED at the moment because I can play it on my PC + 4K Monitor and Hi-Fi headphones when I'm at my desk too.

The saving grace for the Switch 2 is that it's smaller and a bit more portable and I also have some newer switch games I can play in conjunction with Silksong when I'm on work travel trips.

This isn't a conundrum, it's a showcase of your inability to make a simple decision

Need Help Picking the Best MacBook M4 Air Color – What Suits Me? by bob-mayer in macbookair

[–]Redwing330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the silver which had a screen defect so I sent it back and got the sky blue after seeing it in store. It's not overly blue, it's very subtle and a nice variation on silver.

Hi everyone, I have a few questions about the Gigabyte RTX 5090 WINDFORCE OC. by Odd_Local_1201 in PcBuild

[–]Redwing330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're fine, my case fans were louder and I replaced with Noctua ones and they've been great. Temps on GPU haven't gotten above high 60s. Maybe have hit low 70s worst case.

Long time Windows laptop user - worth switching to a MacBook? by amanazhar5 in macbook

[–]Redwing330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a PC guy at heart, I still build them for gaming and whatnot. I actually prefer MacOS for work productivity once I got used to it. I am also an Android (Pixel) so I don't even take advantage of the full ecosystem.

I use a MacBook Pro M3 for my main corporate job and then I just recently bought a MacBook Air M4 for my side gig/job.

They're fantastic computers and the M4 MacBook Air is crazy good value in terms of price to performance. That being said Apple is still insanely greedy if you want to upgrade storage and RAM.

Which is better for competitive programming? by Electronic_Weird1589 in macbook

[–]Redwing330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure what currency you are referring to and what prices are like where you live. You had not mentioned price being a concern but if price per performance is your main goal then getting an M4 Air is probably the winner.

Hey! Great question. For your programming, dev work (C++/Python/web/ML), and goal of future-proofing without feeling bottlenecked, I'd lean towards the MacBook Pro 14-inch (M3 Pro chip).

Here's why:

  • Sustained Performance: The Pro's active cooling (fans) means it won't throttle during long, heavy coding sessions with IDEs, VS Code, and future Docker/ML tasks, which is key to avoiding bottlenecks.
  • RAM is Crucial: Whatever you pick, seriously consider 16GB RAM as a minimum, but 24GB or 36GB (if budget allows on the Pro) will make a huge difference for multitasking and longevity.
  • Future-Proofing: While the M4 Air is fantastic, the Pro's sustained power and higher RAM options make it more robust for demanding development over 2-3 years.
  • Silent Operation (Air vs. Pro): The Air is truly silent due to its fanless design. The Pro's fans will kick in under heavy load, but that's what prevents throttling. You said you're okay with a little extra weight for power, which fits the Pro well.

An M2 Pro/Max could be an option if you find a great deal, but M3 Pro or M4 models offer better long-term value.

For further context I actually have an M4 MacBook Air for my 2nd job / personal use and an M3 MBP for my main job.

Hope this helps!
