Good info, Dan - thanks!I know I'm a bit late to the conversation, so my apologies.
Anyways, 2021 Macbook Pros with the M1 Pro chip are insanely fast and efficient, even for being considered old or out of date by tech standards, and because they're considered old, you can find really great deals on these amazing laptops. I have been using a 2021 14" MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro chip and 16GB RAM since early 2022, and I am still absolutely blown away by the speed and efficiency of this computer. It very rarely gets warm and I have never heard the fan come on since getting it, even with multiple TIFF files open in Photoshop with several other applications open at the same time. The charge also lasts for a really long time because the power management in Apple Silicon chips is very efficient. This computer should get OS upgrades for at least three more years, and security updates for at least 6 more years if kept on the latest OS that it's compatible with. Years ago I swore I would never buy an Apple computer again after buying an iMac that refused to keep up with my workflow, but the Apple Silicon (M chip) computers made me eat my words because these things are insanely fast. If you do go this route, just be sure to get 16GB RAM or more. 16GB has been more than enough for me personally. Also consider getting AppleCare + or another type of warranty protection, as it can be very costly to have accidental damage repaired on these. My AppleCare + saved me from having to spend $800 to replace the display when i dropped my phone on it and damaged it. The deductible ended up only costing me $99, which I was happy to pay instead of $800. When I first bought my Macbook I was worried that a 14" display would be too small, but honestly it ended up being the perfect size, even after being used to a 21.5" iMac display. If 14" is too small, the 16" 2021 model is also a great deal in 2023.
Will do. I made a number of fountain pens, years ago, but had to get rid of the lathe when we moved to the apartment. I hope I'm not too far out of practice.You are creative! Post photos please when you finish
What program are you using to edit? I used to make 3d (well 2 1/2D) slideshows in After Effects.Just finished all of the christmas slideshow 3d videos my mom will be sending to distant relatives this year and my gosh, do I already hate Christmas music!
Finished wrapping except for one present that is back ordered. Finished the cards today. Our card list has greatly diminished. I don't do the big holiday bake-a-thon like I did 20 years ago. This year making two types of cookies and an easy crockpot candy.
You make an excellent point, 9 years is 2-3x the expected useful life for a computer used for something like this. However I still have two major complaints:My 2015 iMac still gets security updates for OS Monterey, just not OS upgrades. I think this is reasonable considering it's 8 years old and doesn't have the hardware to keep up with current operating systems. Unfortunately the security updates for Monterey are expected to stop in Fall of 2024. 9 years of support doesn't seem all that bad in my opinion.
I'm going to introduce my granddaughters to the art and fun of spritz cookie baking. I can already smell the cookies baking...You are mikes ahead of us all!
I stopped sending cards a few years ago. One year I just got behind on things and that was an easy cut. Not sure if my not sending got us scratched off of everyone’s lists or if many of our friends also stopped around that same time… once everyone’s kids grow up those family photo cards taper off.
Our annual moms and daughters cookie bake has become Princess and her friends doing all the baking and decorating in the kitchen while we moms have a holiday martini and apps in the dining room.
G'night!Well night all
Hi all, I stick my hands in the air and go HELP
reading the recent posts, it’s showing that I am ignoring comments by Dan’s.
have I clicked on something that I should not have. I remember that I upset Smoke some years ago by accident
and wondering if I have clicked a button....
