Nuclear probably isn’t. It could be, but it doesn’t look like its going to be.

It’s a struggle. But then, I don’t need it to render a pixar movie. There are few cases when I need the graphic card, but I do. On the other hand a mac arm would fulfil that need (as much as I heard), because it’s got some specific bits in it that help that type of work. The moment I saw it, I knew I will replace my PC, when similar chips come out. But then they didn’t. And now, years later they might and they will be OK, while effing apple pushes the boundaries on chips. Insane. That’s the pcs job, not apples.

A good one would. Maybe one with lots of shared ram. Maybe one with a few tricks that boost graphic work. Do you know any?

Not really a contraversial opinion.

Good for you, but pc users are not just gamers.

Edit: maybe pcs are just for gamers? Seems like serious work stuff will now be done on macs if something doesn’t change.

Because I need a graphics card for work. My expectations are that the laptop doesn’t run out of battery while I’m on a zoom call with a client. Too much for my lenovo.

Graphic design and I don’t believe you.

Whatever, pc laptops are lagging behind so much its embarrassing. When I compare my 300 kilo lenovo Legion with a 30 kilo brick for charging that gets me an hour of work tops (strangely not an exaggeration) when disconnected to a thin 2 year or macbook m1 I just wanna cry.

Not to mention that soon after these laptops are released, apple will get out m4. So windows is about 1.5 generations behind? Very impressive.

Yeah well, they send stuff. Ours talk talk talk, maybe even promise 30 year old tech, then fail, or send enough for one week. While people die.

Russia has better allies.

Yes! It’s just not as good and more importantly, it’s not good enough. At first I thought it’s because I’m not as familiar, but no, they are just not set up as good as Adobe. That’s the bottom line. Why waste time.

Good luck. Really, I hope you find something. I’m working on these products for hours daily, I can’t afford to use something that will increase that time.

Yes. Bought the whole package. I decided that this is the software for me and tried to use it. After two months, I gave up. It’s not bad, it’s just not as good. It just takes an extra click here and there, a function less here and there, an illogical here and there and that culminates to my work being done slower and me being annoyed. Affinity designer being the worst, missing auto tracing and messing up svg exports.

Not to mention the new generative ai functions that are now natively in Adobe products. That’s literal gold. You can’t be a serious designer and not use that. That saves up so much time, it’s not possible to not have. Not possible. Adobe won. We can cry about it and whine, but they won. To bad, but it is what it is.

And the subscription price. It’s easy to get 50% off on deals for the whole package. That’s about 35 per month. That is a negligible. That’s like less than an hour of work on a freelancers hourly rate.

Sorry, I thought everyone will understand that I’m taking about photoshop, illustrator, indesign, AE and not that every single Adobe product ever made is absolutely better than every single other product that has ever been made ever… Next time, I will try to be more precise. I deeply apologise

Delusional? I’m sure you just mean to capture my attention, but you dont have to try like that.

I’m not here to defend Adobe or praise their products. For the last 2 years I have done my best to get rid of them and finally, about a month ago I conceded and payed for the subscription again.

Let me tell you, there is no software (none, 0), that can do half what photoshop can do and is less buggy. That doesn’t say, photoshop or any other Adobe product is not buggy and doesn’t have issues, it’s just a fact there is no competition.

I say that completely confidently and with no delusion anywhere.

As a designer that uses figma every day, I have to say…

… I don’t care one bit. I have to subscribe and use Adobe software anyway, not only because everyone else uses them, but because that’s simply the best graphic software out there and I’ve tried it all. Not too mention that the full Adobe subscription, that you can usually get 50% off, is not that expensive anyway, compared to many saas that are buggy and just do one simple thing. So yeah, I don’t hate Adobe anymore, everyone is doing what they are doing and most of the software out there is complete garbage and even more expensive.

Can someone help me do this in practise? Gpt sucks since they neutered it. It’s so stupid, anything I ask, half of the text is the warning label, the rest is junk text. Like I really need chatgpt if I wanted Recepie for napalm, lol. We found the anarchist cookbook when we were 12 in the 90s. I just want a better ai.

I partly agree. He isn’t that stupid and things are not so simple that twitter would just go under.

He is not that smart either. He is a petulant child. Either the money he has, or from before, he is a narcissist and he thinks he knows better than anyone else. He doesn’t get dettered by having failures.

I have the first series and they worked good for 3 years, after that the battery doesn’t last much. After 4 years I can’t get 2 hours or is them. Which is probably normal for headphones… Otherwise they are at least ok.
