Every couple of months I think about blowing up my completely serviceable two 27" monitor setup for a single enormous ultra or super ultrawide. Has anyone done this, specifically on Mac, and emerged victorious on the other side?

One of the best simple kindnesses is when you order cheese at a deli and the slicer offers you the first piece to show you the the cut width.

Binged through all of #ThePaper this weekend and I gotta say: this is maybe the strongest season 1 of any Greg Daniels show to date. I legit think this cast, writing, and topic hit its stride within like 2 episodes. It's great!

Fully willing to realize this could be a “get good” scenario, but I am finding the act of playing MGS Delta pretty frustrating and is kind of sullying my memory of original. It is sort of an unfair comparison, but playing both Death Stranding games recently may be coloring this opinion.

I realize some of these these were true of the original as well, it just doesn’t make a lot of sense to fully modernize the POV and play style and not smooth over some of these rough edges.

I may jump over to Phantom Pain/MGS V after this just to see if it’s a me problem. Maybe I don’t have the patience I once did for this stuff?

It’s death by a thousand paper cuts: The constant food and injury stuff, Snake not hugging a wall to peek around but rather totally cornering, likewise Snake seemingly wanting to hang off nearly every ledge I even brush up against, not being able to hold up/“Freeze!” an enemy while crouched, etc

I don't know why it took me so long but I've finally given up on using these janky-ass Electron wrapper apps and gone all-in on the Safari > Add to Dock webapp method. Hey (email), Basecamp, Discord, Teams, Framer, etc All of them now are just webapp icons in my dock.

I would really love Mac-native versions of all of them... except Teams... but it's never going to happen because why have devs dedicated to excellent apps on multiple platforms when you can have a mediocre, slow, bloated, resource-intensive one that works on them all?

Crossword puzzle creators love two things: the word “eras” and giving clues like “Jazz, on the scoreboard” The latter of which I always look up because why the hell would I know Utah even has a basketball team, let alone what their abbreviation is?

“Don’t want these kinds of emails anymore? Just reply with ‘opt out’ in the subject line” Uh, no. You’re getting marked as spam, Selena from Thought Editing Jobs.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

They make less expensive versions of this thing that don't have a fan or Thunderbolt, but in my testing—I bought and returned quite a few—both of those things matter if you're looking for peak performance, especially during long renders or exports.

For the record: it was not recorded in 16,000fps nor does the downloaded video display in that format, but clearly something in the metadata is messed up. It registers as 16,000fps in Final Cut, Resolve, and ffmpeg 🫠

Wholeheartedly agree with this assessment and score

This is Hugo. He is facing off in an epic battle against his toy ball. Just waiting for his opponent to make the first move. 12/10

There's no thirstier behavior than logging in to a website after you've downgraded from a paid version to their free offering. "LOOK AT EVERYTHING YOU'RE MISSING" "REACTIVATE NOW"

Can anyone recommend a decent course or tutorial on developing a Mac app with Swift or whatever will be the most future proof? I do not mind paying for something that's quality.

Hey everyone. Just a weekly reminder to be a thought LEADER this week, not a thought FOLLOWER. These thoughts aren't going to lead themselves.

BS The Legend of Zelda (1995) was an adventure RPG by Nintendo on the Super Famicom. It's a remake of the original NES game and broadcast by St. GIGA via the Satellaview service. The land of Hyrule is under threat from Ganon's evil! But instead of Link saving the day, it's you! (a rebuilt thread)

I thought when they introduced Apple Intelligence / ChatGPT to the iPhone I’d be using it all the time or at least a lot more but… I still don’t really use it at all? Is there something workflow related I’m missing that could really improve my life/work or is it all just marketing fluff?

A mentee in the video (most post-production) world just sent me this job listing and asked if she should apply. Can you guess what I told her?
