    Insane performance of the M series is due to bolting RAM straight to the chip, so it runs with a very low clock divisor. These things run at such speeds that even millimeters distance from CPU to RAM limit clock speed, which is why PCs have traditionally reduced bus speed while pumping CPU speed.

    Apple made their point. Integrate RAM and CPU/GPU for performance and you can compete with much lower performing CPU cores in design. And let’s be clear, ARM only wins here because of that improved I/O bandwidth.

    Intel and AMD should bolt 8GB RAM on their chips and use it for cache. Then PCs will pound M series chips into the ground and PC will regain its value proposition over Apple again.










  • Though I found myself fascinated, unable to stop watching like gawking at a bloody car accident, The Human Centipede just left me sick to my stomach. Not that it was bad in production values, like a Manos Hands of Fate fiasco, it just remains unwatchable a second time as Horror. And you can’t say that about The Evil Dead II or or even a splatter fest like Ichi the Killer. Both of which I love.

    I’m not a fan of either Gnome or KDE.

    To me, the big mistake both make is in the presumption the UI and utilities shipped with those platforms are why people use it. But no. Nobody uses MacOS because of its nifty calculator or the Finder. It’s the overall toolkit integration with apps. Not even look and feel. But consistency in use.

    Neither KDE nor Gnome offer that.








  • I mean, I dunno about you but for me this is money. I make money with these tools. I prefer Linux for privacy reasons, but I’m not religious about it when it comes to money. We all gotta eat.

    The Blackmagic folks might help. Especially if you paid for Studio. I don’t work there and can’t make promises, but I’d definitely make a stink about that. At least get a formal statement from them on Sony support in Linux.

    My in-house is an old GH5s w/ a Shogun. But if the client pays, I prefer to rent an URSA mini. So I haven’t hit this.

    Really wish I could help more.
