I had avoided installing #Steam because I assumed it would be a disappointment. BUT, tonight I installed Steam via Flatpak on my old 2013 #MacPro running #LinuxMint. Then got #HalfLife2 up and running. Full 4k with max settings. Better than the first time I played it.
Yeah (I know) it’s a 20 year old game, but it’s the awesome nostalgia I need during the holidays. I just regressed twenty years.
I bet the high end M3 Max gives the M1 Ultra a run for its money. 12 20-30% faster cores should beat the 16 "slower" cores for most real world stuff. If I wasn't such a core, uhm fan, I'd seriously consider going to a regular Studio next round.
Some reorganising of the collection. A few new things added, some swapped out, some old neat things brought out for display. And always at the centre, a Quadra 605.
> With the release of OpenCore Legacy Patcher 1.0.0, we're proud to announce macOS Sonoma support! And with it, 83 unsupported Mac models will be able to run Apple's latest OS!
The entire city of #Yellowknife is being evacuated. This is unprecedented and terrifying.
And thousands of citizens aren’t aware because Meta continues to block news in the country.
This is what happens when citizens are convinced to use an American multinational corporation as their community’s primary communications channel — a corporation that couldn’t give two shits about anything except its “fiduciary duty” to shareholders.
On August 7, 2006, Apple introduced the first Mac Pro. The Mac Pro was a major departure from the Power Mac G5, featuring an Intel Xeon processor, a PCI Express expansion bus, and a sleek new aluminium case.
Gone were the days of the PowerPC architecture, as the Mac Pro now embraced Intel's cutting-edge technology.
RVC update: Finally got it installed on Mac. The good news is the UIs are completely accessible with VoiceOver, both the web interface and real-time app. Bad news: Pytorch doesn’t implement all of the MPS operators yet. Enough were present to scream through a Demucs operation, but doesn’t look like it has all of the ones RVC uses. It’s back to using the CPU, which means rendering will probably work, but can’t imagine I’ll be doing much training. 38 cores and 28GB video RAM would have been cool.
About 50% of the way through my studio reorganization now. The mixer is totally tested & fully operational, including every connected cable. Now working through all the outboard gear & cables, starting with my mics.
I do got a #Z600 a while back when it was still blazing fast for daily use yet already affordable, and that thing is very boring in comparison to #nvidia's custom design with that seperate board on the back and hardline compressor cooling...
The problem is that these will have use issues as retro systems and I bet you they'll become a major pain in the rear like the notoriously leaky Dual - G5 #MacPro's from #Apple with their liquid coolers.
