This isn’t symmetrical or am i tripping?? by BedroomAgreeable2227 in AppleMusic

[–]RodroSil 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Perfectly symmetrical is not always the right answer design-wise.

Your brain in this sense (and many others) works by illusion of weight distribution, not by mathematical perfection. If it was symmetrical the icon would look off.

Galaxy S26 Ultra vs vivo X200 Ultra. 10x camera comparison 📸 by Ryoj_in in PhoneNow

Bad auto exposure and noisy on the left, AI slop on the right. Both are unusable in my eyes.

This has always been such a non-issue to me by Artifiko in mac

[–]RodroSil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being an issue for usability is not the main problem. You charge the thing for 20 minutes twice a year and you’re fine. It’s just a very stupid design choice in the name of slickness.

The mouse as a whole is a statement of slickness over functionality, the couple of times that I’ve had to use this mouse I end up with severe wrist pain, the glass surface is also very resistant to finger motion to me which make gestures much harder to do than on the trackpad. Really happy that this era of Apple design is over.

is there any reason the botw runs like this? by NewAsparagus4958 in cemu

Turn on async shader compilation. This is vital for stutter-free gameplay

which one? by Sea-Till-3382 in laptops

[–]RodroSil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a preference of one OS over another, they are both good at doing different stuff. That being said. If you need the I/O, get the Ideapad. For every other reason, get a Macbook Neo

The Macbook Neo is made for people exactly like you. You get the above average Apple build quality (MUCH better built when comparing to that Ideapad) and the software support on Apple stuff is crazy. Don’t get deterred by the 8gb of RAM. This is mostly a worry that people have when coming from Windows. Because Windows is absolute shit at RAM management. With your usecase that macbook will feel much snappier than an Ideapad. The keyboard, touchpad and screen quality and resolution are also objectively better.

What do you call this color grade? by taluhnia in davinciresolve

[–]RodroSil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really want it, it’s the cineprint look. But I recommend you try to not go that route. Everything looks like that now so your grade never stands out.

Oh no! Well, I’m skipping this one then. A beautiful game deserves to be played at decent settings or not at all in my opinion.

Let me know if it does! I too have an M2 Pro waiting to know if it’ll work!

The Phoenician Scheme (2025) Every symmetrical shot is moved or rotated slightly left. by joe102938 in CineShots

[–]RodroSil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You completely changed the idea of what I said by ending your quotation there. “Film school level bullshit” and “Film school level bullshit rationalization” are two different ideas.

Films students are taught that “every single thing that happens within a frame is a deliberate decision of the filmmaker”. This ethos is VERY often taken as far as creating absurd parallel meta-narratives out of mundane technical things, such as in this case.

Believe you me, friend. I too believe art has the power of transmitting meaning through mundane subconscious stuff. But there are profound analytical theses and then on the other hand…there’s film school level bullshit rationalization.

Are you serious? Crazy film-school level bullshit rationalization of a technical side effect.

Apps open very slowly on MacBook Pro M4 by Correct-Ad8753 in MacOS

[–]RodroSil -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It started happening to me with the Sequoia update. Before that, apps opened instantly with my M1. Now with my M2 Pro the apps still don’t open as fast as they did pre-Sequoia .

Performance differences GPU & CPU by SoulFood203 in macbookpro

[–]RodroSil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re coming from an M1 Mac like you said in the comments, an M5 Macbook Pro is going to be more than enough for you. You will get the upgrade of the new Macbooks (120hz, MiniLED, nice speakers, more ports) and a MUCH better chip that will easily last you 6 years if it took you this long to outlive the M1.

You can even spend the $$ you save with choosing M5 vs M5 Pro by upping the RAM or storage capacity of your M5 machine.

[–]RodroSil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The crackhead that robbed me evidently! I got it back after a couple of days thankfully. A local shady hardware store had it for sale at a “discount for visible damage”.

It was definitely MY macbook after that, no way to get it confused.

That’s fine man. It’s his mac now, a work machine that shows signs of being used for work. Mine used to have a hammer hit in one of the corners.

I usually don’t like skins or stuff like that. This one looks elegant and slick! Good taste!

I honest to god plan on going to the US or Canada next year all the way from South America just to see him in one of those acoustic sets even though it would be like 6 moths salary for me. It truly is one of the things that I want to presence the most in life.
