This would do my head in if I had to walk past this every day. 🤷‍♂️

@brazly It does feel like that - UFOs / WW3 / Elon & Co racing to space / plus that big Apophis asteroid passing 32,000 from Earth in 2029 (closer than the moon)

It’s not just me then. I also take everything out of my pockets and wipe the desk down - weirdo

Not going to get bored of our view for the week

Kind of gone off #F1 over the years but just finished watching Drive to Survive on Netflix. Amazing insight to the drivers/team but basically, most of the drivers are tossers and hate each other.

@rclstudio @martin_parris I think by the time it’s on we’ll have to decide between the telly, eating or staying warm.

Apple QuickTime colour woes. 😫 I’ve got two beautiful Apple Studio Displays, yet any software that uses ColourSync/QuickTime makes video on them look washed out. Is this a decade old problem now? Feels like it.

@JohnGeeMcCarthy @AdrianBentley I’ve lost count of the amount of smart lights we have in our house. All controlled by voice, motion or timers. Lights never get left on. Change to different colours or modes at times of day. React to motion externally for security. All great but we still have a BIG light.

@philbeck10 @stan_chow Me. That’s the one song I might have got right. I’d sill would have had to phone a friend

@tomeversley @Naughty_Dog Yeah I agree. Plus this generation we are getting a lot more remakes/enhanced versions at nearly twice as much as the original. #GTA5 was worth the £7 upgrade. But most companies (looking at you @EA) are just fleecing the customers at the moment.

[Sean Booth @SeanBoothy]

Last of us Part 1 remake for PS5 looks awesome. But £70! Come on @Naughty_Dog - I’ve bought it twice already. It’s just pure greed if you want existing owners to buy it again at full price.

I use Suitcases. From MacOS Big Sur onwards (I think) you get 700+ extra fonts installed at the system level and you can’t hide them in Suitcases. It does try and put foreign language fonts in sections but others remain in the list.

@SeanBoothy @studiodbd @GaryBovill @design_by_neil @MrKyleWilkinson I've never noticed them ha. Use Suitcase and just turn off non required. But now you mentioned them - they are everywhere :)

@rclstudio @imchris87 M1 Max 1TB SSD, 32gb RAM but upgraded GPU to 32core for an extra £200. Seems that because of the way the new unified Memory works, you don’t need as much ram. Only Blender seemed to take advantage of extra RAM. Do t do much 3D so wasn’t worth the extra £400 for 64gb for me.

[Sean Booth @SeanBoothy]

@rclstudio @imchris87 There’s a new Mac Pro in the works and a rumoured new 32” screen but probably ££££s. 27” iMac is discontinued. Just eBayed mine and bought new Mac Studio and 2 Apple Studio displays. It’s silent compared to iMac when rendering video/#AE stuff.

[Sean Booth @SeanBoothy]

@AdrianBentley @mikedotsullivan @studiodbd @GaryBovill @design_by_neil @MrKyleWilkinson Sadly, that’s one of the fonts you can’t hide. So Arial and Comic Sans live on.

[Sean Booth @SeanBoothy]

All #designers and Mac owners. Remove all those NOTO fonts with this https://t.co/w0dNqCFA4a I can confirm it works. Install, restart and then carefully select all the fonts you want to hide. @mikedotsullivan @studiodbd @GaryBovill @design_by_neil @MrKyleWilkinson

@NickClement There’s the M1, M1-Pro, M1-Max and M1-Ultra. The M2 is 18% faster than the original M1. Doubtful we will see any M2 chip variants until at least the end of the year and then mid next year (earliest) for M2 Mac Studio.
