  1. Well, when I got home I decided to see what it's like on my OG M1 MacBook Pro, and it's just fine. I guess I need to find out what the hell is wrong with that Mac Studio.
  2. I only ready the first page or so, I guess I'll go back and catch up. I did update the Linden viewer to check out the PBR Winter Wonderland on a Mac Studio (M1 Max). Pure single digit FPS misery. I could get to the mid-teens at the skating lake with 5 other avatars around if I turned off shadows. If this is the future of SL on the Mac, don't bother. It's over.
  3. Uninstall the driver, reboot and let Windows auto detect it. There are multiple versions of the GT 730, but they all should run SL and all work with the 391.35 driver.
  4. Adorable looking products but I think I'll stick with the rubberized brick aesthetic of my Zoom H4n Pro and refugees from the Island of Misfit Microphones.
  5. Careful, you can find yourself down a rabbit hole where they would have you believe if you aren’t using a thousand dollar minimum setup you might as well be yelling through a tin can on a string.
  6. Or they'll dump remaining inventory into whatever landfill all the Newtons and Pippins are in.
  7. The Titan has twice the VRAM of the 780. That's what makes the difference, not the drivers.
  8. Can’t stop the i7-2600! Slap an SSD and a reasonably modern Nvidia card in there and you’re good for another ten years!
  9. The last Mac that couldn't run High Sierra was discontinued in 2012, and that was an iMac only available to education customers. So except for people who bought a Mac from a surplus auction after it got too old for an elementary school to want it, this probably isn't an issue for anyone. The only use for Macs that old is to run ancient hardware or software that newer versions of the macOS won't run, and it shouldn't be connected to the internet.
  10. $699 is about where gaming laptops start. I’m sure anyone can shop around and find better ones and better deals, but I just went to see what Best Buy has. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/msi-bravo-15-15-6-144hz-gaming-laptop-fhd-ryzen-7-5800h-radeon-rx6500m-16gb-memory-with-512gb-ssd-black/6532167.p?skuId=6532167 https://www.bestbuy.com/site/msi-prestige-14-14-laptop-intel-core-i5-16-gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1650-512-gb-ssd-blue-stone/6502642.p?skuId=6502642 I’m confident either will be more capable at SL than the Asus, and more versatile. I think a discrete GPU is a defining feature of gaming laptops. If someone is open to using an APU, that opens up cheaper options.
  11. It's great that Erika Zero works with the same clothes that fit Erika, unlike the other mesh freebies (that I'm aware of) that don't seem to fit anything. The only drawback is designer support, which is not great. Even so, Erika Zero is the first free mesh body that didn't make me want to immediately throw all of my money at Maitreya.
  12. If you install the Linux subsystem on your Chromebook you should theoretically be able to run a Linux SL viewer. Some people have gotten it to work, but it’s been a couple years since anyone posted about it.
  13. I'm still using flexi hair I bought in 2009. There are still cases where flexi hair is better than mesh hair helmets.
  14. Whatever floats your boat. I think you should make your avatar to please one person and it isn't "someone needs an upgrade" guy. For me the two big pros of mesh bodies and heads are, they look better (totally worth it for no more lumpy boobs), and nowadays shopping for mesh items is much easier. Everyone makes items for the big two mesh bodies, and I can be very confident almost anything I get will fit out of the box. I do not miss adjusting, resizing and finding proper alpha layers for classic avatars.
