Lovingly hold the dog and do dog-weighted squats

My partner has a CanonRP which takes pictures at a resolution of 6240 x 4160. They're currently using a MBP from about 2016 with 16GB of RAM. The screen is beautiful to work with - but any image processing in Lightroom can be measured in half-minutes. It takes a LONG time to see a change.

The laptop basically doesn't leave the office. I've been trying with the idea of upgrading to a newer MBP or an iMac or a Mac mini + a cinema display. I'm trying to keep it under 3K.

The cinema display and iMac don't seem to be as bright as the MBP screen which I found odd. I'm also not sure if performance impacts of using an M4 vs M4 Pro. I'm sure whatever is picked out will smoke the existing machine.

I'm looking for advice that anyone can offer. My partner doesn't want to venture outside of the apple ecosystem.

Thanks in advance!

I find it hilarious that the image is of Google Play and the title used the word "this". Pretty misleading

Between the phrasing of the title and the image of her, absolutely yes.

I looked up a list of countries without extradition to the US and it's a short list today. I'm not sure what it was when this took place, but it's probably quite similar. Not many of the options seem like an appealing long term plan 🙃

I recall Snowden speaking out against WikiLeaks because they were a seemingly unfiltered trove of secrets disseminated, and he considered it reckless. Whereas Snowden worked with Greenwald and his team and ultimately had them figure out what to be published.

I definitely remember WikiLeaks and the Clinton campaign though! I thought that was a Julian Assange thing.

It's pretty crazy that he left his cushy job getting paid a government contractor salary and living in Hawaii and end up in Russia living in exile. He didn't strike me as someone who hates America - but someone who hated the abuse of power and lies. Which is all the more ironic. I still can't reconcile it. I understand that America isn't ALWAYS the good guy, and it's got a long history of awful things. But Russia? I still don't get it.

I signed up to run a half marathon. I have never ran that far in my life.

My Nvidia 1070 with 8gb vram is still playing all of my games. Not everything gets Ultra, nor my monitor isn't 4K. Forever I am the "value buyer". It's hard to put money into something that is marginally better though. I thought 16g would be a no-brainer.

That's a very well put together overview. Thanks for taking care of this!

This was a crucial step in Apple's journey into becoming a trillion dollar company. Dongles.

Ah, good 'ol Jenkins. It's on my list of software I never want to use again, twice.

One feature was really sweet though: being able to edit the Jenkinsfile script inline and run it. On the other hand, that encouraged the wild cowboy lands. Contrasted to GitHub Actions, you get to see how many commits it took to get right 🙃
