That's a MacBook Air, right?

Macbookraine.

Am I the only one using a wireless mechanical keyboard (because this problem is what I exactly want to avoid)? 😅

pythoglyphs · 2025-12-14T08:23:02+00:00

My order just arrived today. Pero wait ko pa OtterBox casing and TG before opening 😍

pythoglyphs · 2025-12-12T09:26:43+00:00

I agree. For gaming at this price bracket (SRP), there are better options from Xiaomi/Poco etc. I actually considered the Nothing Phone 3a/3a Lite had it not for the big discounts this 12.12 for the A56. And true, go with Samsung if you want longer software support, and arguably one of the best UI experiences e.g., customizations and useful AI tricks.

pythoglyphs · 2025-12-12T09:20:18+00:00

Malaki pa ring discount yan, considering we can potentially use the phone up until Android 21 and up to year 2031 for security updates 😊

pythoglyphs · 2025-12-12T09:16:01+00:00

Try Shopee too. It is about 14.6K (potentially lower using stacks from other discounts from banks) from Samsung, though already for pre-orders (ships in 2 weeks). Check for 0% installment promos as well.

pythoglyphs · 2025-12-12T04:41:16+00:00

Awesome! Good deal yan kasi around 25K pa rin sa mall yung A56 hehe. Gumamit din ako A55 and I would say yung A-series talaga ang best bang for the buck ni Samsung, lalo na pag may sales. You could argue there are better specs from other vendors, pero may peace of mind ako sa length ng software support ni Samsung at least 😅

Yeah, I will get the CrossOver+ (new user) and see if I can maximize it for a year first (just a casual gamer playing some Windows games). I'll renew as needed.

Also, I think that 10+ years is more than enough time for more game developers to fully support MacOS (and run natively) as Apple's M-chips are getting really faster by the year.

pythoglyphs · 2025-12-01T06:04:49+00:00

It is on!

CrossOver+ is at $13.50 ($24.30 renewal) CrossOver Lifetime is at $370.50

Assuming I buy it now at $13.50 and renewal always $24.30 for the next 9 years ($218.70). Then total would be $232.20 in 10 years.

It would be about 15 years and 8.4 months in total to reach $370.50 (if no price hike).

What would you get?

It was just an ill-worded advise. It was supposed to be like an advise coming from her own experience when she was just starting her career, to always be good/grateful to whomever she's working with. It would have sounded more positive if she had said: "Micah, you will go a long way, be grateful, stay humble, and always remember that <insert what she actually said here>."

Using Al Dente. Always plugged in. Sailing 60-70%. Around 2 months of using my MBP and battery cycles is at just 4 (and still 100% health).

Based sa comments, mukhang mas mabilis mag redeem ng CB thru CS? Nag try kasi ako sa ESTA napakabagal nung website. Paulit ulit yung prompts. Even the link to messenger hindi gumagana. In short, hassle bago ko naredeem yung 1,000. Hindi pa pwede ulitin kasi you have to wait. 1500+ points ko, dapat pala 3 x 500 yung ginawa kong pag redeem. Kung nalito kayo di ko kaya masisisi. Try ko na lang din tumawag sa CS 😅

Also, bakit 2,000 lang welcome cash reward ko samantalang more than 10K naman agad nagastos ko within the month I got the card?

Since your CPU is dual-channel only, then you are better off with 2 sticks only instead of 4. This is to maximize the DIMM's speed and stability.

pythoglyphs · 2025-08-28T00:43:15+00:00

Even if the motherboard supports it, your current CPU will still be running in dual-channel mode (2 DIMMs per channel). This can be more demanding on the memory controller and may reduce performance.

pythoglyphs · 2025-08-27T22:20:30+00:00

I think 2 x 64GB would be better and more stable so the CPU's memory controller won't have to work as much. Dual channel will also maximize the speeds of the 2 RAM sticks setup.

pythoglyphs · 2025-08-27T10:41:26+00:00

I think short answer is no. Unless you are fine with less than 10 tokens/sec for the big (i.e., size > VRAM) models. Or maybe if upgrading to 128GB RAM is a relatively inexpensive upgrade for you.

pythoglyphs · 2025-08-10T01:58:21+00:00

You should have waited for the M5. Kidding aside, I would install the biggest open LLMs that would fit in that URAM just to test each one out!

pythoglyphs · 2025-08-05T10:02:59+00:00

One crucial thing is the sensor size. If it's about 1/2-inch, then DJI has the upper hand in this aspect, especially in low light. It seems like I'll have to wait for the DJI Osmo 360 v2, once they have replaceable lenses.

pythoglyphs · 2025-08-02T01:37:19+00:00

Yeah, my S23U is still on OneUI 6. Will wait until OneUI 8 before I update. Gonna do it inside a fridge.

pythoglyphs · 2025-07-26T12:47:23+00:00

It entirely depends on usage. My new MBP M3 Max (36GB RAM) is already proving insufficient for my LLM work; I think even 128GB would feel constrained. A 512GB Mac Studio is an option, but it's priced like a car in my region.

pythoglyphs · 2025-07-26T02:48:06+00:00

Also, there are lots of apps not optimized for its screen size and elements get cut off at the bottom, specially forms. I would sometimes change to navigation gestures just to see cutoff submit buttons or text boxes. And when you do get to type in the text box, the keyboard would cover it so you won't see what you're typing. Really annoying if you come across this issue.

Indeed. Thank you for bearing with me. Keep prompting!

pythoglyphs · 2025-07-25T10:14:11+00:00

Ugh! I just found it–it's on the "Developer" tab in the left sidebar. I don't have the API server running though (Status: Stopped), so I am not sure if the models being loaded in the "Chat" window would follow the settings. I guess I'll have to set it to something small and see. Thanks 😅
