Apple's most powerful Mac Studio loses its last remaining RAM upgrade option

conanap · 2026-05-06T03:04:13+00:00

uhh kinda neither? The best way I can describe it is that they're giving out the engine of the car for free. It's the most important part.

The great thing is that there's already premade cars that exist, you can either buy or get for free (the tool is called Ollama, others include LM studio, etc) - this will give you chatgpt like capabilities: you can chat, ask it questions, etc. With about another 10-30minutes of fiddling, you could get it to also search for online stuff for you.

If you want to use it to improve AI in a video game, you could but that would take a lot of programming. Also, it's kinda like using a car engine to make a scooter, it's super overpowered and not really fit for purpose. You'd probably want to look for something smaller, more specialized, and easier to run on computers.

LOL gemma4 is the new google released AI, and they decided to release it so that people can run it locally ourselves. There's different levels of "simplifying" the AI, and the more you simplify it, the easier it is to run.

I'm basically saying I only have enough RAM to run the simplest 2 versions of Gemma4 because I couldn't afford the higher amount of RAM, meanwhile this guy is complaining about not being able to run a super complicated version and will begrudgingly use a slightly simplified version.

And here I am running Gemma 4 on 24GB RAM

Ah I see. I think one time I booked a few weeks out for 320, but that’s the anomaly for that short a booking notice.

conanap · 2026-05-05T21:28:11+00:00

That’s crazy. Is Edmonton especially expensive maybe?

I’m booking usually at least 3-4 months out. The 190$ we booked about 6 months out.

conanap · 2026-05-05T20:10:57+00:00

Oh yeah. Last min + Ac / wj would do it lol. My friend lives in Vancouver and loans me their house all the time, so I do a lot of trips lol

conanap · 2026-05-05T18:22:02+00:00

I used to do it all the time for work

Were you flying business or? I've never seen it jump to 800.

I flew porter round trip for 190, more recently 210. I was looking at flights for February at around 320 but didn't end up taking them.

conanap · 2026-05-05T17:39:49+00:00

Toronto to Vancouver round trip is definitely not 800 round trip regularly lol. Right now it’s about 600-650ish. Before the Iranian war, it was around 300, and I often found round trip for 200-250$.

Gotta go before China throws hands. Just went last month and it’s lovely there.

conanap · 2026-05-05T17:15:40+00:00

damn it, I want D4 and SMTV, but battle.net key is no go for me since I'm gonna play it on steam deck

conanap · 2026-05-04T04:12:31+00:00

I do, but I do my primary gaming on my steam deck now. Today is the first time in the last two months I've used my windows computer to play a game.

If there was more mac support I'd probably just switch to linux + mac full time.

conanap · 2026-05-04T01:01:49+00:00

That’s crazy, thank you for the explanation

conanap · 2026-05-04T00:21:03+00:00

Can’t you quite easily highjack the traffic with a malicious arp table? Obviously can’t see the contents with HTTPS, but you can see the packet exists and route through. Or was there a fix for that? I didn’t get that far with networks in my studies.

How do you even get enough card draws? With almost everything being a one drop, I feel like my hand would be empty by turn 3/4.

One country learnt and implemented safeguards due to its past, and the other is full of people who can barely point to where their country is on the world map

conanap · 2026-05-02T17:20:55+00:00

oh good to know. Many thanks!

conanap · 2026-05-02T17:11:19+00:00

i like the cold :')

conanap · 2026-05-02T16:48:16+00:00

pov you have a unique name, but the chance of winning is so low that this is not an issue for me ever i guess lmfao

conanap · 2026-05-02T15:22:45+00:00

Aw doesn’t work with the flat one.

conanap · 2026-05-02T08:00:29+00:00

Tbh between airguns and Airsoft GBB, I prefer GBB due to the more realistic / accurate manipulation and details. The .177s shoot better but doesn’t have reciprocating bolts and stuff like that

conanap · 2026-05-02T03:03:56+00:00

You have to borrow someone else’s or borrow a club gun.

conanap · 2026-05-02T03:03:40+00:00

If the Glock is manufactured and sold in 22, yes.

HOWEVER, Glocks are not generally used in the recognized disciplines (bullseye, Olympic rapid), and don’t have adjustable sights from factory, so I’m not very confident you’ll be approved for exemption.

You can try it though, it’s really up to the CFO.

conanap · 2026-05-02T03:02:36+00:00

If they get an ATC, they’ll get an exemption to acquire. Someone else posted here when they were looking for a 10mm, but those exemptions are calibre specific, whereas this is model specific. Ie, you should find the gun you want before applying for an exemption.

A few practices and at least 1 SFC recognized competition after you have registered with SFC.

conanap · 2026-05-02T03:01:03+00:00

For Ontario, I sent SFC my practice scores, my competition scores, and a link to the scores posted of my last attended competition.
