What movie have you rewatched the most? in c/asklemmy

I KNOW he can get the job. But can he DO the job?

I’m not arguing that with you!

Hot Take: Long Tall Weekend is an underrated album. in c/tmbl
[–] nuachtan 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

All of these tunes are also on They Got Lost.

I had a whole rant about how Long Tall Weekend is just a greatest hits album but now reality is messing with me.

What is your favorite TMBG album, and why is it Apollo 18 on repeat shuffle? in c/tmbl
[–] nuachtan 6 points 4 months ago

I like Apollo 18 a lot, but for me it’s Flood.

Apollo 18 is some of their best work, but as a whole Flood delivers.

What produced the old dead channel tv static audiovisuals on tvs? in c/nostupidquestions

It's the echo that sings "I want my M-T-Vvvvvvvvvvv" right before the guitar riff kicks in.

I Think Leazel is a traditional German/Austrian name. Wasn't one of the Von Trapp kids Leazel?

Which of the U.S. national parks in this image do you think is the most worth visiting? There are three exceptions. in c/asklemmy
[–] nuachtan 2 points 1 year ago

If you are considering either sleeping beat dunes or pictured rocks I would suggest taking the MI route instead of Wisconsin. Less traffic through Chicago and Milwaukee. The drive up the coast on US131 or US31 follows Lake Michigan the whole way and has beautiful scenery.

People who dont particularly care for or celebrate Christmas, Whats your favorite Christmas song? in c/nostupidquestions
[–] nuachtan 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, but the shell of Christmas is like a gelatinous blob that swallows everything around it. Look at how many perfectly good winter tunes have been corrupted into being slaved to Christmas. Winter Wonderland, Jingle Bells (written for Thanksgiving), Frosty th Snowman. The list is endless.

MacBook Use Scenario- what to max out? (self.apple_enthusiast)
submitted 2 years ago by nuachtan to c/apple_enthusiast

Hello! I’m trying to figure out what kind of chipset/shared RAM would best suit a given scenario. There are two graphic-intensive things I use my current setup for (late 2019 i9 32GB MBP), and both seriously drive the Activity and CPU/GPU nuts slowing everything down to molasses.

  1. I regularly need to use three screens for work. The built-in retina display, an external monitor, and a 65" Promethean board (a Promethean board is similar to a SmartBoard). All three need different information on them. Currently, I need to downsize the resolution on the external monitor to avoid lag/freezing.

  2. I do a fair amount of video editing using Final Cut Pro. I’m not importing 4K video, but I do regularly need to combine several 3-5GB video files into several multi-cam clips. The background tasks often slow the process down. While scrolling the timeline view to insert titles the audio track preview (waveform) doesn’t render for several minutes.

My questions are how to avoid this on a future laptop. Would the extra GPU cores on the M2 chips do a better job with these tasks or is this a CPU issue? Would there be a noticeable difference between the Pro and Max chips and/or 32GB versus 64GB? Ideally, I would like to be running both Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro at the same time.

Thanks in advance for any replies. The new shared RAM has me scratching my head.
