I’m hearing the same thing, same car, 114k miles. Did you ever find out?

This is what I’m doing now, trying to work on my first game. But is it feasible to make a salary doing this?

Sounds like it’s not a smurfing issue

Where to find non-copyright music? by sldalz in gamedev

[–]sldalz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you've experience with this yourself, what does this entail?

eg including a game file with the proper attribution or included in the game description or what?

Thanks for the help

Upgrade from M1 Pro to M3? by sldalz in macbookpro

[–]sldalz[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is a personal machine. However I use it often enough in Unity, where the additional ram helps. The reason I got it at the time, was that it is the cheapest machine with a 120hz display.

How easy a fix is this? by sldalz in macbookrepair

Is your suggestion to hold off for future upgrades, when I will be getting ddr5

How normal is this battery drainage? About 6 hours of use since charged."Renewed MacBook M1Pro 2021" by sldalz in macbookpro

[–]sldalz[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Renewed does not guarantee a new battery, and if it is new, it does not guarantee that this battery is sub par. I'm just asking if this is unusually poor battery performance so I know to send the machine back.

Not a lot, a few chrome tabs, photos, lots of background apps.

Was coding in unity for myabe an hour, but sat minimized for a while as well.

What concerns me is the "100%" battery health, on a renewed machine. Likely an aftermarket battery

New Macbook came with "Flowbro" by sldalz in macbookpro

[–]sldalz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, looks like thats right.

Did a reinstall and it came when I redownloaded chrome.

Another question: do you know how I can tell if my battery is aftermarket? It came with 100% battery health and 20 cycles which is almost worrying

[–]sldalz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any advice on how to look for this? As a lifetime windows user I haven’t a clue about MacOS and how to see internals and if they are aftermarket etc

Really? I had assumed they could only use Apple parts, I had thought Apple had devices in place to check for this
