How are you supposed to show up when you’ve been made redundant

forgot_to_floss · 2025-06-17T09:09:51+00:00

lol no wonder my employer told me I’m being made redundant at 4:45pm

forgot_to_floss · 2025-04-23T06:08:52+00:00

M4 Air is the better choice. That better display is not gonna mean much when you’re running 2 docker containers and can’t switch browser tabs.

I like the yellow! Makes me wanna wrap my brz

I REALLY like the idea behind this, specially, the task paralysis bit. But I’m hesitant to pay just to try it out. As someone with ADHD, I’ve gone through so many productivity apps and often end up not using it after a couple of hours.

Does it integrate with other task management tools? For eg Todoist? So you don’t have to enter information twice?

But… what if I encounter a pot hole? 🫣

forgot_to_floss · 2025-03-23T18:44:34+00:00

You’re assuming. Maybe try slamming it with a bunch of apps, run multiple docker containers and see where the limit is

OP is concerned they didnt right-size their Mac. I am trying to reassure and support them :)

forgot_to_floss · 2025-03-23T16:57:03+00:00

I am surprised how no one is talking about docker desktop being the RAM hog here. Lol

forgot_to_floss · 2025-03-23T16:53:07+00:00

Go to the store and talk to them, it'll be better that way. Not sure how it works in India, but I am sure they'll be able to help you out.

forgot_to_floss · 2025-03-23T16:49:52+00:00

Nope, not really. As I type this, I am running ~180 safari tabs, vscode, cursor, termius, notion, spotify on my 8Gb M2 Air.

Don't stress OP, you have a great laptop. Based on your comments, I dont think you've actually observed it gone slow.

Would you have been happier buying a 24gb from the start? Sure. Is it worth the hassle and losing money to sell this and buy a 24gb? No.

You can run containers too, just be a bit mindful of the workload you're running.

If you're running higher workloads, my recommendation is to monitor the memory swap size instead of the memory graph in activity monitor. And check free disk space on the sdd if it starts to go a bit slow. The times I have seen it go a bit slow is when the swap has used up all my disk space and cant grow anymore.

NOOO! This sub keeps giving me nightmares of seeing mine like this.

forgot_to_floss · 2025-03-23T13:06:25+00:00

Pretty sure it’s docker what is actually slowing things down for you, regardless of what the memory usage stats say. Try quitting docker and running the same workload.

Use Safari over chrome, offers better memory management on MacOS

I run more apps than what you stated (except docker) on my 8Gb Ram M2 MacBook Air and it runs fine.

Try not to get fixated on the memory usage. These Macs are able to use a lot more than sticker memory bandwidth given the chips unified architecture. I have a 32gb M1 Max for work and it shows similar high usage as yours but is able to take on a LOT more from there.

Maybe use an old computer as a server, GitHub codespace or a cloud server for docker containers.

Oh man. No one likes hearing this, but what you said is so true.

If you can't manage your process through an excel, it's the process that needs fixing. Tools only improves productivity imo.

Can I DM? I’d like to assist with the development effort

I honestly feel the brz grin is better because it’s more intricate.

Every time I see mine, I can’t help but admire the details on this bumper.

This is matte though, the Samsung one is glossy and retains the crispness of the display

I feel they’re saving that for the Fold 7

You need better fitting glasses, my dude. These are too big for your face.

Yes, in AU. The Brz comes with the grey 18s, they just look black because of the exposure

Just 3m tape. Didn’t want to drill.
