    Apple said their 8gb of ram is equivalent of 16gb on pc... W h a t?

    Their argument is that the low latency, and high bandwidth and overall speed of the SoC design allows things to be swapped to the SSD fast enough that you're not likely to notice a slowdown during casual use. (To be clear: the RAM chips are in the same package as the CPU and GPU, not on the motherboard.) Which would make sense for...web browsing and other basic stuff on a MacBook Air, where you don't tend to need things in-memory at the exact same time.

    The argument doesn't make as much sense on a MacBook Pro, where you might be doing something like...using a DAW, where you could need gigabytes of samples and synthesizers playing at the exact same time. Also, that 8GB is shared with the GPU, which further eats into it.

    There is definitely some truth to it, though it's being stretched. I use an M1 Pro with 16GB at work, and it's incredibly snappy even when I'm running heavy Docker containers that easily eat over half of that (plus IntelliJ IDEA, Slack, Chrome, Spotify, etc). My older Intel Mac I have at home wouldn't handle that so gracefully, nor would an off the shelf Windows machine with a similar amount of RAM.

    We're entering another phase where specs commonly used to compare machines are less distinct than they used to be (like when clock speed used to be a big deal, then multiple cores and higher IPCs changed that). System-on-Chip is a game changer, raw core count is less of a differentiator than it was a decade ago, etc.. RAM on the SoC, more tightly integrated with the CPU, instead of on the motherboard is another one of those things. It's hard to quantify and compare, but it has definite upsides.

    Yes, there is some truth to it but they didn't mention that M cpu are very powerful especially M3 but they simply made claims about that our 8GB is just powerful as 16GB. This is just coping issue and if you want to upgrade it from 8GB to 16GB cost another 200$... The $200 for each 8GB is insulting.

    There is quite a lot of comparison videos on YT do some testing Macbook 16GB vs On the market laptop 16GB (the 8GB laptop is practically non exist nowadays) both are very similar when it come to specs, Macbook win by a small margin like 6-15% on multiple benchmark test. Yes win is a win but keep in mind that fresh install windows 10-11 has not been optimize and full of bloatware. If compare to a optimized windows 10-11 the result will get even closer if not better.

    DRAM 4GB cost around 13-17$.

    I'm a little excited about old vintage headphone i got today, even though the economic design are not the best but their driver are coating with diamond dust, it's something you don't see often.
    Some older headphone use paper diaphragm and probably my favorite. Even though it isn't the best material but it sound is great(for me).

    Most modern headphone (even speaker) probably use aluminum diaphragm by now. Of course. There is nothing wrong with it but i find that unattractive when you have a lot of them made from the same material.

    People are more willing to pay for a premium adblocker instead of paying for youtube premium is a clear sign that this war is already lost for youtube.

    What a clowns show, i will pre-order tickets for the next one.

    @MillyAqualine Funnily enough, I was introduced to adblockers after my WinXP laptop caught a virus for the umpteenth time, and I slowly realised that ads (even back in the 2000s with just the banner ads in corners) were probably the most common entry point for malware! I haven't taken any risks ever since, and I've only ever had like, two warnings from my antivirus about Trojans after that.

    @IO+ I think people would be more willing to whitelist YT if the ads weren't so intrusive and scammy. Come to think of it, I remember seeing scam ads almost from the very beginning of when they introduced ads in videos...

    Ads have gotten so bad that the German government tells people here to use an adblocker for savely navigating the internet 😭 that's funny and sad at the same time

    Software dongle alone can make users turn 180 degree without thinking. I understand that they want to protect their interest but is it worth the hassle?

    wait, what solutions do cevio and piapro nt have?

    CEViO is basically just log in with username/pwd, IIRC. Piapro NT is basically similar, at least last I remember, though there's a max number of licenses you can use before you have to get them reset.

    I agree with that however. dongle and the whole anti piracy thing is like a cat and mouse game and the cracker tend to be a cat who keep catching that mouse, in this case.. the software protection.

    I start using new OS but i keep running to this world of pain dongle. I don't have any problem with activation (yet) but it still take me a LOT of time deal with while you have a long list of plugins waiting to be install and some of them use dongle. Even though, i tried so hard to avoid anything dongle related... i still have a lot of it.
    All of these software i bought is already got crack to oblivion. That's why i'm still don't understand why this software company still use these dongle, ilok, pace and all those crap license management that doesn't "protect" anything yet weight down users so much. Well... it might protect their software for maybe 2-6 months but is it worth the hussle?

    I do like cloud based license though, all you have to do is login just like an e-mail, choose plugins to install and plugin management do the rest.

    I hope this is not a vent or rant, i'm a little disappointed and wish they could do better, because some software company use simple activation method and some company even use honor system but they thrive.

    Kinda off topic but you may surprised that while musicians community overall (i mean as a whole) are quite warm, cozy and very informative but in the meanwhile.... Serious listener aka. audiophiles folks like to burning, beating each others to death... They fought hard for that "analog pureness"

    Why even bother though? That vinyls records of theirs are most likely has been digitally mastered anyway... I mean it's make sense to be manufactured that way.

    Honestly, even a small update to make her transitions smoother would make me happy, luka v4x with good transitions would be unstoppable (they will never do it, but I can dream ;;)

    Joke aside. Just quality of life improvement is all i asked for, maybe cfm have plans to jump on AI bandwagon... it's very tempting indeed.

    I don't mind if they don't use AI thing and stay traditional.

    Anyway miku will be the one who get the update first. As always.

    Yeah, I'm less "___ AI NOW", I'd be more stoked for a higher quality concatenative update.

    Like if they just updated Miku to be higher quality or something, that in and of itself would make me happy. (Miku V4X is already super clear and smooth though. I just mean like in general. An Avanna update with less noisy/breathy samples (especially her [u:]) would also be nice, seems like we're mostly past concatenative days though so an Avanna update would seemingly likely be AI if it happened

    Here are the free plugins from ToneBoosters (scroll down untill you reach bottom) just click Archived download links and you're good.

    It's a legacy plugins but very good quality.

    While i'm traveling, i see some hotel and another motel. I'm curious what's is so different between them? some place they have hotel and motel next to each other like fork and spoon. It's quite funny for me but i think it just for the convenient.

    Well, here in Brazil, or at least how I think it works, You go to a Motel to do sex with someone you bring or to spend a really quick time, while Hotel is a place where you stay longer (Usually, tourist thing).

    Motels in the United States usually have rooms that exit directly onto an outdoor walkway. You usually park, get your key, and then walk directly up to your room. There are no special amenities, and it's much more transparent than a hotel. Nobody will really see you exit or enter.

    One summer I worked in housekeeping for two motels and they were pretty nasty, but they were also understaffed. A well-kept motel can be an excellent value though.

    That's sound similar to the truck stop or motorway service, This is a long travel for me, i just start from US, it might take a week until i reach canada.
