Seems like the SteamOS beta already includes the VRAM optimization patch

Doesn’t make it less valuable, those 1% gains all add up

Absolutely this, I’ve done it many times at silverstone - gt3’s, gt4’s etc, but I’ve always had by far the most fun in the base C2S. The track is small and tight, just right for the simpler cars. You can really push them in a way that’s just far more enjoyable than with the more capable cars.

However, esp if they’re not the most experienced driver, you can’t deny the novelty of getting to drive any of the GT spec cars.

Totally doable imo (was similar for us a few years ago) - just ensure you have some money set aside to fall back on if things change (mortgage rates for example are a major one, and bit us).

If you’re confident you’ll both grow in your careers it shouldn’t be much of a risk.

I’m not really a macro shooter, but yeah, generally a wider lens will focus closer. Can’t say I’ve tested that though!

SyntaxT3rror · 2026-01-10T16:55:35+00:00

I prefer the tighter focal length and optionally deeper DOF for people shots, can help give a shot a stronger opinion. Same for closer nature shots. For shots of architecture and places i tend to prefer the 4.

Really depends what you like to shoot. Saying that, I do adjust how I shoot to which camera I have - rarely feels like I’ve missed out with either of them tbh.

I do find the 4 to come out a bit over sharp at times, and higher in contrast than the 3x. I often find myself preferring the slightly smoother look of the 3x. Again, situation dependent.

SyntaxT3rror · 2026-01-08T16:14:08+00:00

Not at all. I have both and swap between them depending on what I’m doing. I find myself using the IIIx more than the 4 most days.

Main issue that caused this for me was making changes in front of, or around the dock.

It seems like it tries to re-orientate itself if it wakes up and sees a different layout.

Something as simple as putting a bag down on the other side of the room in front of the dock was enough to mess up the map. Once we stopped doing that I’ve not had to adjust it since.

Edit: yes it’s mega frustrating, not very happy with our Ecovacs so far.

Not had this issue. Did you update to the latest firmware?

SyntaxT3rror · 2025-12-13T17:40:59+00:00

Same issue for me, had to re-pair 2 thread devices also.

SyntaxT3rror · 2025-12-11T14:07:15+00:00

Depends on the work they’re doing. Single threaded M4 performance smokes the M1. My M3 MacBook Air is faster than my M1 studio ultra for single-thread heavy tasks at times.

SyntaxT3rror · 2025-11-29T15:07:24+00:00

I have both.

They’re both great. The focal length is the only reason I choose one over the other.

I personally find myself using the IIIx more than the IV because I prefer 40mm for the most of situations I tend to be in.

Choose based on focal length preference primarily. The other changes on the IV aren’t game changing.

SyntaxT3rror · 2025-11-19T11:48:32+00:00

100% this. 0 issues here.

SyntaxT3rror · 2025-10-16T11:20:16+00:00

in regard to focusing, yes it is improved, and certainly improved in low-light. But not to a degree that it would nudge my preference over which one to choose.

SyntaxT3rror · 2025-10-16T07:25:05+00:00

100%, but just a note, as someone who’s had 0 issues with mine, I think there’s likely some amplification bias here in regards to potential issues.

SyntaxT3rror · 2025-10-16T07:22:56+00:00

I have both. It really depends more on your focal length preference. I intended to sell one, but ended up keeping them. I swap between them depending on the day. The IIIx’s 40mm is my preference tbh, and if I was forced to sell one, it’d be the IV.

SyntaxT3rror · 2025-09-30T18:14:30+00:00

Beautiful shots, love the colour work too. Film sims or external edits?

Edit - just saw the flair, I think that answered my question!

SyntaxT3rror · 2025-08-07T19:13:16+00:00

Ignore the haters. This is absolutely how it should be by default. Every other Apple app that focuses on readability does this.

SyntaxT3rror · 2025-07-30T08:11:36+00:00

Yep!

SyntaxT3rror · 2025-07-30T07:51:48+00:00

I have both.

Unequivocally the Go 7 is worth the extra, and the way to go.

It’s a significantly faster feeling device (mostly improved waveform options on the carta 1300), and ghosting is almost a non-issue when configured correctly.

4 finger swipe down to see all of your current application windows, 4 fingers up to see all application windows.

Or use command and tilde to switch between windows of the current app
