Heading home.
Although regarding GPU acceleration with M chips, it does seem like the GPU is still not being pushed when exporting HEVC HDR with Dolby Vision videos. Why wouldn’t apple optimize 100% CPU or GPU when exporting? Is this because the M series has HEVC accelerators as hardware and therefore not …
In the Amex lounge and the amount of people here with $700 a year credit cards watching videos on iPhones is way too high.
It feels like the “Max” part of my M1 Max MacBook Pro is finally starting to pay off. Final Cut pro has automatic captions creation which is 100% offloaded to the GPU cores. MacWhisper added meeting recording and transcribing to text again, that uses all on-device GPU cores. Photo …
This is a weird flight plan.
No good day.
TikTok case hearing began today with Supreme Court: “The Court also established the Chrestensen doctrine. The doctrine provided that commercial speech, or expression promoting commercial activities, isn’t entitled to First Amendment protection. According to the doctrine, this holds true …

Okay, maybe I do need an M4 Max.
It appears Mastodon web host charged me again today for another month ($6) so I’m going to take my time getting Micro.blog setup but good progress so far. Need to do some customizations.
$995 to stay at a Fairfield inn for 3 nights? Seriously?
@Sarahp I feel be dumb but why would anyone create something and upload it without keeping a copy locally? Granted, my YouTube uploads folder is about 24 terabytes at this point, it seems like a design flaw that content uploaded to TikTok isn't also copied to your device photo library by …
Biden just signed into law the Explore Act which will require federally managed public land have motorized trail maps published and maintained. That’s going to be awesome for recreational 4x4 use!
@kolin You are definitely in the majority. Most people get many hundreds of emails a day.
More to do, just getting started.

Hello world.
@kolin I do not like this.
I think November of 2025 will be M5 Pro Max 14" MacBook Pro with a 32" 6K display and a Thunderbolt 5 hub and maybe Sonos Era speakers as the new setup.
No update on the move to Micro.blog yet but just a more personal tech update: I decided to add a 1 year extension of AppleCare to my M1 Max MacBook Pro. While I could certainly use an M4 power, it's not enough to justify the $3,000 upgrade cost (after selling my machine) so I'm going to …
Starting a new job. I posted about it over on LinkedIN - https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7280426660783423488/
Just thought I’d share that I’m thinking of moving from Mastodon to Micro.blog for these toots. Thinking about it. It’ll take time to actually do it but I am considering it. FYI - https://micro.one/AdamChandler
It ain’t much but it’s honest work.
