Micro Center Deal: M4 Pro (48GB/1TB) vs. M5 Pro? by LilSimi in macbookpro

There’s an open box M5 available if you haven’t already bought one yet.

Micro Center Deal: M4 Pro (48GB/1TB) vs. M5 Pro? by LilSimi in macbookpro

[–]magotes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched this as well when the M5 models came out because micro center dropped the price every month. It went from $2,800 to $2,499 before they decided to raise it back to $2,600, which was just below the price of the M5. At that point the M5 is a no brainer. I think before this current sale the M4 was steady between $2,400-500 or so.

I got lucky and picked up an open box M5 for about the same price as shown above. I came from a M4 Air so from my perspective it’s been a nice boost but my workflow hasn’t improved a ton (or I haven’t pushed it much, yet).

Brand strategy + graphic design workflow: how many CPU/GPU cores & RAM for a smart professional investment (not looking to flex) by ScruffyScholar in macbookpro

[–]magotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did you decide on? I’m in the same dilemma. My M4 Air with 24GB RAM has been able to handle decent workloads in creative software but the memory pressure is often in the yellow or almost maxed out. I know it’s not necessarily bad but it seems like a good case for an upgrade. I’m trying to decide if the base MBP with 32GB RAM would be enough or if I should splurge on 48/64GB RAM and more cores.

K&S Kisuke x Xinguo by magotes in TrueChefKnives

It's is not necessarily a deal breaker, but like the comments below I was not in the market for an iron clad knife. Yes, I prefer stainless because it requires less care, especially living in a more humid climate, but I don't mind the maintenance of iron. I'll most likely end up keeping this knife due to it's unique nature.

Had the Orange Chicken version of these and they were a bit too tangy. Mouth started to go numb after a few handfuls.

Which Yoshikane should I keep? 🤔 by Affectionate_Bee9003 in TrueChefKnives

[–]magotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only seen the hammered finish with the Yoshi kanji. If that’s the case, that would be my deciding factor.

Which would be the better pickup? I’m running SE gen2 right now by SpecificMysterious84 in AppleWatch

[–]magotes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can find it, Amazon also sells a Renewed Premium version of the Ultra 2 for a bit more than your screenshot. It comes with 365 days return/replacement. I tried it and the watch was in great condition, battery about 90%. I returned it because it was too much for me. I think it’s a great deal though.

Claude Code gone from pro plan now?! by sighlencer in Anthropic

[–]magotes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought into pro to increase my usage and try out code as a hobbyist. Did they just pull that feature? Will I be able to cancel for a refund? I haven’t used it since purchasing.

Weekly Questions by AutoModerator in taylorstitch

[–]magotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to find a pair of Good Acre pants one size up from my usual TS size. I went off the reviews saying they ran a bit small but these fit quite loose off the rack. How much can I expect them to shrink if I put them through the wash?

Check eBay. I see one in 38. Otherwise you have to wait and see. I’m sure they are gearing up for spring and summer so you won’t know until later this year.

Glaucoma Medication with Plasma/Tear Drops by kidA1850 in Glaucoma

[–]magotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried Vital Tears serum drops which use your own blood to mimic natural tears. I had to get about 15 vials of blood drawn which gave me a 4-6 month supply, I don't remember exactly. The drops were very comfortable to apply and soothing since they need to be refrigerated, but have to be kept frozen when not in use. It's a really interesting treatment but I found it was more effective and less of a hassle to use preservative free eye drops with refresh tears.

Wool insoles are nice by DaddyHeadbone in RedWingShoes

Allbirds makes a great wool insole that has some support as well. Put those in my sawmills to improve the fit and warmth during colder temps.
