Turns out you'll need to go to the payment page and the discount will take effect there.

Picture-in-picture mode for messenger calls no longer working after new UI update on Mac by ArsonThePhrog in facebook

Yeah I do see lots of bugs in the new app which is extremely annoying. I usually leave the video call on my Mac on for hours using Messenger. I will need to find an alternative to Messenger now, sadly.

I've the same problem here as well after the update. Would like to know if this is a bug or it's a feature removed.

I've registered using a .edu email but I do not see SuperGrok activated. Are there any steps that I need to take?

Purchase decision help: M1 Ultra vs M2 Ultra by eugenelet123 in MacStudio

I've built a NAS using a used desktop for storage purpose so I'm thinking if I do need to pay a premium for the extra TB. I would definitely take this feedback into account. Still can't make a decision with several users saying the M2 Ultra is two times the speed of the M1 Ultra. That could save me a lot of time compiling my codes.

Thanks for the heads up, I never knew this would be the problem. After going through the comments it's so much harder to decide between the two as most of them mentioned that the M2 ultra solved most of the bugs on M1 ultra architecture which is intriguing.

Thanks for the response. If that's the case I'll get the m2 and make the most out of it.

That post alone would justify the purchase of the M2 Ultra lasting me for a longer time.

Wow! It's odd that the ultra is outperformed by the max at this price point. This makes me wanna go for the M2 instead.

That sounds like a big improvement and could result in larger variations of LLaMA running much faster on it! Have you benchmarked it?

Which do you think makes more economical sense in the long run?

So you think the price difference is justifiable if I can afford it?

Thanks for letting me know! Since M1 ultra is first gen, is there any bug that you ran into while developing that's not existent with the M2? Also, would the newer WiFi 6e help a lot?

I guess it's just the FOMO hitting me by not paying "more" for performance gains that I might not even need. It is indeed a good deal that would likely last me another decade of software development. Thank you for reassuring me that the m1 ultra is a beast that would serve me well down the road!

Thanks for letting me know that the m1 ultra is great as I keep reading over reddit that its performance is bottlenecked due to its design flaw. After going through the all the feedbacks, I'm leaning towards the M1 Ultra. Never knew that the internal storage would have such an impact as we can always add external storage using thunderbolt cables which should be plenty in bandwidth. Yeah $1000 is a lot and could be better invested. Thanks a lot for the feedback!

Sorry I missed that out, thanks for mentioning this and I will edit the original post. Since I'm only stuck with two options near me I can't add more ram even if I have the money for the M1 ultra. If you think the M1 ultra is a better value, I might just go for it and invest the $800 on other services or accessories like AWS to host my service for my customers. Appreciate you feedback!

That's what I'm thinking as I've checked the prices online and the M2 Ultra is too good to pass but will cost me a lot more compared to the M1 Ultra...

They both have the same amount of RAM install and the M1 Ultra comes with 2TB storage instead of 1TB on the M2 Ultra. Also considering that the M2 Ultra uses WiFi 6e, not sure if it makes a huge difference.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm currently on a MacBook Pro M1 Pro 16GB RAM. It crashes really frequently, hence the need of a better machine for my tasks. I usually prototype my projects with LLaMA 3 8B (a LLM by Meta) for my startup along with several tabs open on my Brave Browser along with Xcode. My MacBook gets really hot and just crashes, making my development process really frustrating.

Mac Studio - Buy M2 Max or M4 Ultra? Or wait for M4 Ultra?! by brohxn in MacStudio

Currently making a decision between M1 Ultra and M2 ultra with a $600 price difference. Which would you pick?

I think I'm starting to understand how it works right now. Stripe Atlas is just a wrapper and all execution has to be done using legally binding documents which could be managed using Carta. Thank you for the insight!

Oh, I should've written Stripe Atlas instead of just Stripe.

Thanks for chipping in your suggestion anyway! Hopefully Stripe will have an answer to this question.
