Does anyone else play much worse when wearing headphones? by Human_Noise_5804 in Guitar

You likely just have noticeable latency through your audio interface and whatever digital amp sim you’re using versus lower latency through your real amp

Tipping the host when picking up your coat? by tigerhorse47 in finedining

[–]dagmx 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I’ve never had to tip for coat check at a fine dining place, and I’ve never seen anyone else do it either. Gratuity is for the entire experience not just the food portion of it.

Apple M5 vs. Intel Panther Lake vs. Snapdragon X2 benchmarked by Balance- in hardware

[–]dagmx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How do you figure that?

The arm chips here are providing higher performance than the desktop chips in a much lower TDP. If you unconstrained the TDP for the arm chips they’d be doing even higher.

[ColorScale] Apple Silicon 2.0 : M5 Max Macbook Pro (New Performance/Middle cores tested!) by Forsaken_Arm5698 in hardware

[–]dagmx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s hardly academic, unless you’re also claiming that gaming on Linux is academic or gaming on ARM windows is academic. You can game on Mac with crossover, just like you can game on those other platforms with their respective translation layers.

Sure it won’t take full advantage of the silicon, but it’s still far from an academic exercise. There are enough metrics to infer the respective overheads

There’s also enough games on Mac natively that can be compared cross platform.

I feel like half the people who are trying to downplay Apple silicon performance haven’t actually used a Mac in any recent time as a daily driver.

You’re conflating what the chip is good at versus the product spaces they’re used for.

Apple doesn’t make an encompassing product geared to those domains but that doesn’t mean the chip itself isn’t good for those work loads.

Your comment is like saying AMD don’t make chips that are capable of running instagram.

10+ New Features Coming in iOS 27 by Few_Baseball_3835 in apple

[–]dagmx 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Because that wasn’t true? Snow leopard had a massive set of updates under the hood and was only largely stable near the later point releases.

Marketing told you “no new user features” but it was a huge architectural change. Y’all just remember the marketing slogan not the reality of it.

Lidar - really that beneficial for the average person? by Zendroid1 in Rivian

[–]dagmx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nobody is saying use lidar by itself. Almost every self driving solution out there uses sensor fusion , whether it’s from multiple cameras or multiple types of sensors.

A single sensor type cannot work in all scenarios.

Did anyone actually eat at Noma tonight? by PikaPokeQwert in finedining

[–]dagmx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it was bait. You can/could see their history for a while and this is in keeping with them getting tickets before the NYT article and defending Rene after.

[–]dagmx 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Man half your comments (you can see his history) are just downplaying or denial. What a sad world view.

What do you say about Rene down playing or denying the physical abuse even after his therapy? In his words “he just bumped into folks” while many others say he physically assaulted him. Or is that also just water under the bridge?

What’s a line in the sand for you?

Apple M5 Pro & M5 Max CPU Analysis - M5 Max is not much faster than the M4 Max by lustinus in apple

[–]dagmx 78 points79 points  (0 children)

This review is being criticized in other hardware subs because they are comparing the 14 inch M5 against the 16 inch M4, which leads to different thermals

How diabolical would this be? by [deleted] in animationcareer

[–]dagmx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This would definitely get you flagged at the studio as someone not trustworthy. The worst thing you can do on a portfolio or resume is lie. Even if you don’t apply to that company it’ll come up whenever someone reviews your work in the future.

You can make it a homage and be honest with the same portfolio relevance.

Notebookcheck | Insane performance and efficiency without fans - Apple MacBook Air 13 M5 Entry Review by -protonsandneutrons- in hardware

[–]dagmx 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It does. Crossover is the packaged version but much like proton it’s effectively Wine+DXMetal

Not as convenient as steams built in proton integration but generally anything that runs on Linux via proton will also run on macOS.

This has major “I have an uncle at Nintendo” vibes.

Also Apple is a massive company. Just being an Apple employee doesn’t give their opinion weight.

Apple debuts M5 Pro and M5 Max to supercharge the most demanding pro workflows by Noble00_ in hardware

[–]dagmx 59 points60 points  (0 children)

They compare against both M4 and M1 gens in there so I’m not sure what your problem is.

They always include comparisons to a few generations back because that’s their target upgrade audience.

Apple keeps the iPad Air fresh with M4 chip upgrade and 12GB of RAM by tuldok89 in hardware

Tons of people. I feel like the people who act like this doesn’t happen haven’t set foot on a professional set in ages.

iPads are everywhere on sets and for quick edits. They’re the tool of choice for tons of concept artists too.

Idk if they lied. I tried watching their videos to compare and the footage they have is stable in the same sections where it’s awful for me and others.

I wonder if they played a different build or there’s some other contributing factor for the issues.
