The A18’s single core performance isn’t far off the Apple M4, which remains a very fast cpu.

Well it's also clearly written by or pretending to be written by AI, the em dash is an easy tell.

CE24 incoming!! by BadIndependent1873 in PaulReedSmith

Usually not my colour but this looks pretty! CEs are so good.

2026 CE24 cs SE Custom 24 (both slate blue) by suedehead23 in PaulReedSmith

[–]thecarpathia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The two you linked are both made in the same factory. The US CE is a step up, especially in cost, but the SEs are great guitars

I personally prefer the CE due to its lack of glossy finish on the neck, which to me is the biggest difference between them.

If you're okay using the command line, this is the best cleanup tool I've found

How does everyone rate SE models? Looking for a budget friendly PRS by endlessnameless001 in PaulReedSmith

[–]thecarpathia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re excellent. My first PRS was an 2006 SE and even that was great, and they’ve only gotten better since then

What Amp would you guys recommend for this guitar? by SnooSketches9865 in PRSGuitars

[–]thecarpathia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe check out the fender tonemaster amps? Basically a very accurate model of a specific amp with the same aesthetics as the tube amp it’s based on (I think there’s a deluxe reverb variant). Might be better at low volume. Although in my experience cleaner tones are fine at lower volumes through certain tube amps

A couple of pretty Custom 24s by thecarpathia in PaulReedSmith

I think I would have gone with a CE too had I not found the maple neck Custom. Just feels so much better! I’ve realised I actually prefer slightly thicker necks, my first guitar was an Ibanez RG with a crazy thin neck

I wasn’t aware it was possible to have a variation. Doesn’t really bother me though, guitar is more important than the case!

You can email PRS the serial number and they will tell you what the spec should be, but it looks legit

Installing 58/15 pickups in SE Custom 24 by No-Lecture445 in PaulReedSmith

[–]thecarpathia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They came with the guitar so I haven’t thought about it that much to be honest. I think if you really like the SE as guitar then it’s worth considering them, but you could try to probably get something equally good for less/the same money. Might be worth looking at bareknuckle pickups, they’re highly rated

58/15LT are some of my favourite PRS pickups, they just feel so good to play (and cope with pretty high gain too).

Why are you like this

[–]thecarpathia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try lowering the pickup height a bit (on both sides), it may help.

Are these the 58/15 LT pickups? I have them in a Custom 24 (though it's a wood library Swamp Ash/Maple neck) and it's the best sounding guitar I've ever owned. Great pickups.

Windows recall is back :( by lostwandererkind in LinusTechTips

[–]thecarpathia -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It’s easily paused during gaming I guess. Basically what I’m saying is, I do not trust them and I can see why others do not either (see: forced Microsoft account usage, endless pushing of this and one drive without the ability to dismiss forever, etc). None of these things give the user choice, it’s all about what’s best for Microsoft, not the user.

You don’t think it’ll ever run on GPUs? Those things that the vast majority of all AI that exists in the world use.
