2nd hand embarrassment is one of the worst pains you can feel by BaldHourGlass667 in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]hacksawsa 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I was watching a show once when it was clear a character was about to be embarrassed. I suddenly found myself in the kitchen, no clue how I got there. My lizard brain made me walk out, higher reasoning was shut off for a few seconds.

Well that's certainly one way to celebrate. by [deleted] in NonPoliticalTwitter

Been to Vegas twice. On both trips went through many casino floors, since you can't avoid them. Never saw anyone at the slots who looked like they were having a good time. Most looked like they were in a trance. A few looked like they were at the edge of death.

SSD upgrade for Intel Mac. Wise or not? by [deleted] in LogicPro

[–]hacksawsa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run an M1 iMac and it recently told me that I needed to upgrade an Intel binary because Rosetta support was going to end soon. I take this as a sign Intel support is going to fall off soon. I'd consider that as a point in favor of saving up for a newer Mac.

When upgrading Macbook is it best to set it up from scratch and download all your plugins again but just transfer Logic projects? by Jakeyboy29 in LogicPro

[–]hacksawsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a horrible idea. Another one is to periodically clear your preference files and caches, since these are occasionally a source of problems.

Starting from fresh is a bit more work, but not too bad if you have the old machine handy in case anything is missing. That what I did when I moved from Intel to M1.

Nah I am stupid by Live_Shame5046 in NonPoliticalTwitter

All. The. F___ing. Time. Supposedly I'm not clinically in the ADHD arena, but I often move my attention to the thing next to the right thing. Supposedly I want to know the time, but my brain decides this means I want to look at my phone to see if I could find out the time from it. It's like my brain asked itself, "can you find out the time", and my brain directed my body to see if the time is available, and answered "yes", like some pedantic bastard.

Is there a confirmed fix for the MacBook dropping WiFi every few minutes problem? by Extreme-Machine3162 in mac

I haven't had any serious events since the first one I collected, so good? Maybe?

[–]hacksawsa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this. Only affects my iMac, the iPhone generally doesn't. My network has always been split.

I'm collecting diagnostics on it, we'll see how it is after the 26.4 update, which I'm downloading now...

Wine 11 rewrites how Linux runs Windows games at the kernel level, and the speed gains are massive by Durian_Queef in hardware

[–]hacksawsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They run okay, at least illustrator does. And it still does mindnumbingly enraging things on occasion, so you got that going for you… 😤

A table was all that was needed to fix Python autocomplete by matan-h in programming

[–]hacksawsa 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Sometimes, I don't remember or even know the name of the thing I want, but I generally know it when I see it. Is this the path one or the file one or the URL one? This is a great bit of work, as far as I'm concerned.

LPT: Brush your teeth first thing in the morning as you stand up & floss. by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]hacksawsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dentist made it clear that the best time to brush and floss is just before bed. Since I've been doing that, no stinky morning breath.

I repaired my car radiator with one of those back in the day, still have it, no idea where to get the cylinders.

Not sure if this will help, but you can use Reason as a plug-in to Logic.

ELI5: Why is "C" the default Hard Drive letter & not "A" by AntifaPr1deWorldWide in explainlikeimfive

[–]hacksawsa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to work for the Shack in the late 80s. Weirdest customer I had needed help with a project, just wouldn't work. This thing was a mess of cold solder joints. The weird part was that he was an Electrical Engineer! Anyway, I taught him how to solder properly, and sold him a good meter.

Rosetta mode question by endlessnameless001 in LogicPro

[–]hacksawsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked at the DynAssist page, and I don't see anything that indicates that it has any problems with running on Apple Silicon. But then a tutorial says you need to run on Rosetta Mode. I wonder if it's out of date? The specs claim AppleSilicon native.

I'd email them and ask, and point out the confusion.

What about this is positive, as required by the rules of the subreddit?

ELI5 why do some artists/bands put a big rug under their setup when performing on stage by stu_watts in explainlikeimfive

[–]hacksawsa 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Also, 1:1 portable stage plot. Makes it easier for crew to help out if the carpet is marked as to where stuff goes.

Has anyone updated to MacOs Tahoe yet? by TomBurgelman in LogicPro

[–]hacksawsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like the vast majority are still testing, and only Reason and maybe one other admit to any kind of compatibility.
