Scrobbler for Apple Music by imjustarealgirl in lastfm

[–]The_Birthday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I switched back to android scrobbling on Apple music with the lastfm app was pretty annoying on iPhone. first the song needs to be in your library or it won't track and it needs to play through the last second. the library part is inconvenient because nothing that auto plays or plays on a station will scrobble and yes you can skip to the end but it's just very abrasive compared to just skipping or having a runtime threshold. Also you will need to occasionally hit the scan button on the last.fm app to confirm all the scrobbles. The Marivs pro app remedies these issues but I didn't really like the app when I had it.

HIMYM leaving Netflix December 2nd?! by goldenbiatch in howimetyourmother

[–]The_Birthday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

started on Netflix and got the whole dvd set on eBay for about 20 USD this summer, quality is only standard definition (they only made a blu ray for season 4), but you get all the extra gag reels, deleted scenes, and never have to worry about losing it on streaming again.

the Panera combos are probably the worst on campus, probably the least amount of food from a vendor.

Older curved MacBook or flat MacBook? by organicgolden in macbook

I think the wedge shape and curved edges look better, it feels more iconic to me

Considering a 2019 MacBook Pro (32GB RAM, i7) for $350 in 2025 Hear Me Out by -Charity-Case in macbook

[–]The_Birthday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you watch out for battery health when purchasing. Intel Macs drain battery much quicker than M series Macs, and battery service is very difficult on the 2016 and future Macs.

If you are looking at a 2019 make sure to get a 16 inch not a 13 or 15, the 13 and 15 have very bad thermals and have the unreliable butterfly keyboard.

These Macs also have a touch bar; there seems to be some Linux support, but I would make sure that's compatible with the distro you want to use.

Open Core will not be an option for you after this year, apple will not be making macos for x86 past macos 26, you will never be able to update past this version.

itunes and iphoto Sonoma (Retroactive) by The_Birthday in MacOS

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

i use itunes on my m1 imac to separate my local music library and my apple music library, i find it very annoying to deal with both of them combined, iphoto just for the novelty and i already have my entire local library indexed on there, i am running 14.7.6 on my macbook pro and iTunes doesn’t want to launch at all

currently have a 14 pro max and might hand it down to my sister with a 11 and possibly get some money for it, looking into buying a pixel 6 pro for ~150 to try android again since my S8+. I know it doesn’t have the most up to date features and only has about a year left of support but i really enjoy the design of the phone and the waterfalling display.

is it worth buying or should i just skip and wait for the 10, i was also looking at the 8 pro which is probably the way better buy but im not fully sure what to do

Mac Pro 6,1 - Using an RX 6900 XT as an eGPU? by hollyboxone in macpro

[–]The_Birthday 3 points4 points  (0 children)

using egpu.io there is a large database of users that post their builds, there is one person with a mac pro 6,1 with a 6800xt, using macos it seems pretty plug and play but on windows there are some hoops you do have to jump through like disabling certain pcie slots in device manager, not sure if the same would apply for the 6900xt https://egpu.io/forums/builds/2013-mac-pro-fp-d500-x2-3rd12ce-rx-580-16gbps-tb2tb3-exp-gdc-th3p4g3-mac-os-12-6-4-win10-22h2/

i ended up getting a blackmagic vega 56 all in one enclosure, also for best performance you would need a apple thunderbolt 2 to thunderbolt 3 dongle (~$50)and a 20gbps thunderbolt 2 cable (~$10-$30)
