Teyonah Parris Responds to 'The Marvels' Box Office Fizzle: "You do not have to like something, but give it a chance by actually seeing it and forming your own opinion"
  • I stopped going to nearly all movies at the cinema. I have a good-enough 5.2.1 sound system and large television with appropriate cinema seating distance, so why should I go out if all I need to do is wait 8-12 weeks and see it on a streaming subscription? For me, the movie would need to be compelling enough to warrant a drive of about 120 miles to see it in a Dolby Cinema theater, of which only Oppenheimer met in the past year.

  • Lemmy, what's your internet speed in mbps?
  • In a relatively small US city, 600/600 mbps fiber and I actually get it 24/7. I could get 1200, 2400 or even 5000 but I don’t see any point. Heck I can get 700/35 on my iPhone (overnight).

  • M3 MacBook Advice
  • Honestly, I probably wouldn’t use the max to the full potential. Look at some bg3 performance charts for the m3 family to see how much it might matter. For rendering, they will both be great, but it may just take a bit longer on the pro vs the max.

  • M3 MacBook Advice
  • I don’t believe heat to be a significant issue with the 14 inch device. I am a fan of the smaller form factor and were I to buy one today, I would select the m3 max chip with the 14 inch form factor, but I am selecting it for the gpu cores. If you don’t plan on needing those, the m3 pro is a good chip.

  • Do you fly with a virtual airline?
  • No. Absolutely not. Virtual Airlines place too many restrictions on what you fly, where you can fly, how you fly, and how often you must fly. For me, flight simulation is a hobby, and virtual airlines turn it into work.

  • We have successfully completed our migration to RAM-only VPN infrastructure - Mullvad VPN
  • It means that even though Mullvad already doesn’t log anything about their users activities, there is no persistent storage on the servers, so as soon as it is powered off or raided by The Agencies, there is absolutely nothing to retrieve from it.

  • Downfall vulnerability may affect Intel Macs; usual precautions recommended
  • From what I understand, yes. This vulnerability is to gain information about another user using the same computer (at the same time?). This is why I have disabled the performance-impacting spectre/meltdown mitigations on my home Windows PCs.

  • It's Party Time: Baldur's Gate 3 is Out Now
  • Except it’s not available on Mac on day one. Larian hasn’t even announced when it will be aside from “at a later date.”

    Update: Apparently, the Steam Discussions page has a post that lists it as September 5.
