Sounds like your computer just can't deal with SL :D. I have a notebook computer that won't and it is only a year old and fairly hefty. INTEGRATED video cards are often the issue. The best thing you can do most likely is turn down your draw distance.
When you get a new computer look for one that has a separate (additional most likely) video card and then be sure and turn that on. Some folks here have reported buying notebooks and then forgetting to switch to the higher powered card :D.
I never have my desktop computer set higher than one step down from Ultra by the way
Another option would be to connect directly rather than using wifi (not sure if that would help with your problems but definitely get the FPS higher).
Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I’m not sure if it’s my computer as I bought an external graphic card for my Mac. It’s called Black Magic and renders 4K video no problem. I would think it could handle SL just fine. But I’m just not sure.
I’ll definitely try the draw distance. I might also partition my drive and run windows to see if that makes a difference.

I might as well ask here because I’ve been frustrated by the process.
I followed the tutorials and think I have a grasp on things but when my graphic setting are at max it is painful to to take a picture. If I want to make any adjustments everything is so slow. Painfully slow. I wonder what I’m doing wrong.
I have a 2017 MacBook Pro and I think it is powerful enough but I’m wondering if I’m missing something.

Hey, Marut...you CAN. (I'm not going to corrupt this one, because in most cases it's sort of self-corrupting).
You’ll have to help me with this

Granted. You will always be wearing a full top hat and tail coat and have to dance for five minutes every hour on the hour.
I wish my fridge were full of delicious things to eat.
Granted. Your fridge is full of delicious things to eat, unfortunately it’s for rats.
i wish you could partner swap or house swap for a week on SL.

He's obviously a worthless and abusive little toe rag, but tbh I kind of see his point here. I would have been off after the first nasty, entitled and misogynistic message (what made him think he had a right to meet you, and what does he mean by "one of those types"?). At best I might have cut him with the sharp end of my tongue and then block and maybe AR, but I wouldn't have had any kind of prolonged exchange with such a horrible piece of work. There would literally be no point and nothing to gain from it. He's too thick and hateful for you to get a teachable moment and if it's in IM, there's no wider audience to whom you might really have been speaking by engaging with him. Clearly he wanted you to respond and didn't expect you to say nothing to his nasty messages. That's why he did it, complete with an early fake flounce, the tosser. Don't do what these people want you to do, is my advice.
Just to be clear, I'm absolutely not blaming you for this. It's entirely on him, he's horrid. Just suggesting that the best way to deal with it if it happens again is not to give this type of person what they want. No response is a response, and it's a powerful one.
I totally agree. Ivy did nothing wrong but fire needs fuel and the best way to deal with an ass wipe is to flush it down the toilet.
Chocking the fire is key. Not as satisfying as getting back in the short term, it much better for long term happiness.

Granted. But your facial expression is stuck in a permanent wide eyed wide mouthed grin.
I wish I could stop time and sound in RL whenever I wanted.
Granted You can stop time and sound in real life but now you face glitches. You’ve been stuck on the toilet for a day and a half now. Oh, and you’re out of toilet paper. 😛
I wish SL would introduce a spaceship feature as the next house.

Pretty much
Dear Cindy. I’m know I’m a perfect stranger to you but allow me to light a little candle and stand there with you in the Dark Forrest. Allow me to be silly and Try to make you a touch less sad. Let me mend the butterfly’s broken wing because it is meant to fly.

Granted. Pandemic ends. You commit a terrible crime. You now face years on house arrest.
I wish we practiced social distancing on SL fOr a day. That would be fun to see.

Granted, but now you have to wear a British Standards certified G-string all the time in order that your guitar stays perfectly tuned. You start to suffer from draughtyitis....
I wish I could get some more sleep today.
Granted. You sleep. You wake up and it's 2046.
I wish I had my own personal butler like Alfred.

Granted. You stop sneezing, but your sinuses explode instead.
I wish Marut would remember to make a wish and Fauve would remember to corrupt one.
Hrrumph.
Granted. Marut is now drinking less and paying attention more and Fauve who saved him, is now corrupting wishes on DEFCON 11 level.
I wish we had less news.

Thanks so much for this. I’ll try it out today.
I am a professional photographer. One thing that made a difference is that I switched my monitor which is RGB because real photos require it to sRGB and that has helped.
I think it was rendering a wider gamut of colour than it need to.
thanks so much, it’s getting better.
