Wasn't thinking in terms of gaming, but yeah that's true. Plus you'll see Rhino and the like especially with architectural renders, I'm painting with a broad brush here.

....I may need more than one bottle of prosecco to prepare for 2025.

song entitled “No Lives Matter,” by the pro-Trump Canadian rapper Tom MacDonald.

I understand the words in this sentence, but the order they are presented in is... Baffling.

Usually MPV first then VLC if I have some specific need, but that's me I guess.

Probably still the same today.

Doesn't change the reality of production though when it comes to audio and video though. Final Cut started getting... Problematic in flow some years back, Adobe started to make moves before they, you know, did what Adobe does, and BlackMagic bought DaVinci about 15 years ago actually.

At this point, the only places I know of that are using final cut or premiere in their workflow do so for legacy reasons. Many have shifted to resolve, which works quite beautifully on Linux. In the smaller shop realm for audio, reaper is king (which also works beautifully on Linux).

The "need" for a Mac there is pure fabrication.

For modeling, pros are probably using Houdini, though I'd say blender just behind that. Both of which - again, Linux.

About the only thing I can think of where pros are consistently using something not Linux friendly in the creative world is photo editing (Photoshop of course).

Now I will say that pretty much anything a pro shop will use will work on a Mac, and that is to me the main reason they are still at the top. Plus the weird Apple fanboy/elitism that developed around it.

At this point I'd call it more of a legacy approach - they definitely still control the space, but the workflow is quite easily accomplished on other systems.

I'd also add many (SO MANY) of the pro audio and video systems out there are also running Linux, so even with sa mac-focused workflow, many of the pros out there are using Linux (often without any clue that they are).

So to me its similar to Windows on the desktop - its not necessarily the best option in all cases, but its often the path of least resistance. As a result, pretty much all of them buy into an Apple ecosystem from the get-go.

Lemmy downvote dogpiles again.

Again?

Do you think the common element might be you, rather than "Lemmy"?

Canonical is what's wrong.

For those curious the torrent is about 410gb, i've been seeding for about 6 months myself. Uploaded only a bit over a TB, so could use some more seeds for sure!

Edit: Typo. And currently 15 seeds, more would be welcome!

100% accurate.

I'd even say equivalent load - but again, I dont support the foundation, wouldn't buy a 5 in the first place.

I'd still say you're better off with a t/m/m even with a few watts of savings.

At least as far as my setup, yeah. Ive got 5th-10th gens, under high loads I'll see a spike to 80+ watts, the highest is 170W but those have nvidia quadros in them.

Edit: For gpio now I'll just use an esp32 or something instead.

My only pi usage these days is work stuff, and orangepi is supported there. In terms of arm, also Jetson, but that's kind of outside the discussion here.

Only at idle.

At peak the sff PCs are going to be at least triple the ~30W of the pi 5.

Edit: You'll get way more out of the sff though, which is what I was saying. Tiny/mini/micro is my entire self hosted environment (as well as lab and work setup for the most part).

They already had sources which pointed to nothing.

The claims are baseless. I welcome an actual source for their claim - the only response was "But they had an ad company!".

Meaningless relative to claims.

Sure, but this is youshouldknow not ivegotaconspiracytheory.

Facts are important for a claim like they are making.

Hired a cop who used pi's for surveillance tech, when people mentioned being uncomfortable, they were flippant, blocked people, etc. Gross behavior IMO.

Pricing has made a complete shift from consumer friendly cheap boards over to pricing that can be beat by x86 hardware (even full blown cheap laptops).

The foundation has changed, and I just dont support it. You can make your own call of course, this is just my decision.

Edit: I should note, I hold grudges. For a loooooong time. I still dont forgive Apple for lying about a battery issue in an iPod mini being a board issue, just to give you an idea for how long I can be an asshole about things I don't like.

I'm not the one making the claim, but sure.

This is all readily available information. I'm not making claims based on theories as a post in /youshouldknow either.

You should be asking OP to prove their claims.

Ive got very specific needs when it comes to pi-alikes, so I can only speak to how ive used it.

I still won't support the pi foundation though.

Yes, a valid criticism of Snopes as I said elsewhere.

And completely irrelevant to OPs claims.
