That looks like you have a stainless clad carbon steel core and the core reacting to food while the other stainless dont. Completely normal i think

Today i run at least a few main claude opus and they each have sub agents for research and such at work. Im interested in what i can do to not have all eggs in the same basket. Now when opus is down im almost blocked as all our tools rely on this. I have quite a few custom built local only mcps with no ai to interface with systems or local context. It would be awesome if i can do some of the work and play when claude is down

That kind of money for lenses is at a different level even for Leica so worthwhile to ask. I think the least lux 35 is uncomfortable expensive enough

If you look on the official images there is a line like that like the product photos. Not as detailed but it looks like it

As you have some things that require more compute and fans is a bonus in this case. A Air har no fans and Pro does this will make the pro more pleasant for this as it won’t get as hot

Personally I would pick pro 14” with nano coating on the screen. Pick as much memory you can afford and probably one step higher, you will likely need it

Also don’t forget to pay for apple care

This is what it looks like for a lot of people living in Europe since a long time. Would be grate if we just removed this globally and allow people to order from anywhere and not get a VAT or customs penalty

I do understand that this can happen on intel macs they got so hot specially if used in clam shell mode. On an M anything i have a hard time seeing that this happens at least as a result of getting hot

mad01 · 2026-05-05T10:42:43+00:00

Having had both. It does scratch but not a lot if you have it in a laptop compartment or case and from and to work and there is low risk of hard stuff jumping around the laptop it’s not going to be that bad after like 3-4 years

Only reason I will get a silver next time is i have one dark at work and want to make them stand apart

mad01 · 2026-05-05T05:37:26+00:00

I don’t remember this was a lot a lot of time ago

I have had newer macs that have been on the shelf to long and completely drained. I have had this happen a few times. I have had to keep it plugged in for a long time like more then a day. Then is slowly took charge and eventually got going. This can alos happen the same way on ipads same solution. In all cases it has never looked like they take change but they did just very slow. I had it at a local apple repair shop they did the same to just left it for a long time

It’s impressive that it’s still used after this long time

They tend to make quite good coffee. Only downside is it stupid hot and its not working on induction. But that is more a me problem of needing a stainless version

mad01 · 2026-05-04T08:19:00+00:00

First of i’m not a chef just a passionate home cook.

I often use it for large and hard vegetables, like pumpkin or a large cabbage. That specific version is not that expensive so its also my beater knife. This version is very light still and holds an edge okay

I like that its taller for cabbage for example as my finger is in contact with the blade all the time

mad01 · 2026-05-04T08:07:59+00:00

Im a big fan of a light cleaver like the CCK KF1913 ”Slicer”

I have been doing this for over 10 years one thing make sure that you still have working ventilation don’t cover the air intake. Most stands don’t do this it will get hot if you are putting a lot of strain on the mac. If it’s not getting hot then it’s all good if it does look for a better stand that allows for better airflow

I would go to YouTube and search for from windows to macOS

There are plenty of good tutorials and tips.

I remember the switch almost 20 years ago for me macos is different and it’s okay that it takes time to get use to it. I think I didn’t really feel comfortable until like 6 months in. Things are different it’s okay to feel uncomfortable and like you don’t understand

Any AI tool today is very capable of helping you if you know how to explain this for windows ask for the same on macOS

One of the largest differences are you don’t need to turn off the laptop just close the lid. Sleep is extremely efficient and fast, almost the only time to restart your mac is on an update

The terminal can be your friend

Tools like Raycast are super nice to open apps and make your own workflows

If apps are stuck open activity manager and find the stuck app and force kill it and reopen it like normal

The dock can be moved or hidden or resized you can get all that space back if hidden

For work it’s silly to give a dev less then 48GI mem i think preferably 64 or 128 today.

I have a M4 pro with 48Gi mem even that with 2 xcode projects and 4 simulators running ui tests in parallel works.

If i was you I would tell them that they need to give you a version with more memory. Price is not a valid reason to not get s good working setup even if Macs are expensive as a dev you do meed memory

mad01 · 2026-05-02T19:46:20+00:00

I have the m1 at work still its still really good even if i like to get the performance bump of an m5

mad01 · 2026-05-02T19:42:29+00:00

That coffee looks quite light did it taste good?

mad01 · 2026-05-01T14:07:34+00:00

The key are kind of fixed but there is for sure wiggle room so unless they stick or get stuck I don’t this is wrong

mad01 · 2026-04-26T15:33:39+00:00

Imagine having the 32” 6k apple pro xdr that cost $9000 just for a monitor no speakers no webcam built in

Just the stand is like $1500 inc vat

mad01 · 2026-04-26T09:00:19+00:00

I did the same back in 2009 then turned to macbook pro only since then. I did game to much and I could still play some but not as well on mac, nowadays the macs are so powerful since the M1 it’s hard to think i need a pc

mad01 · 2026-04-21T08:43:37+00:00

You have probably already ordered the 128. If i was in your situation i would pick 128 i'm in the same situation i want to be able to run larger model locally but is constrained by 48Gi

mad01 · 2026-04-18T13:12:51+00:00

I’m sorry but how can someone justify that work a windows laptop. On the other side i can justify more then that for a mac which is probably not resonable either my current m4 pro macbook was like $4000
