I'm not sure you can call this a big fuckup, we will have to wait for news about the cause.
Yes it is bad, very bad. But I'm sure they got all the redundancy in place and thought about so much more than we can imagine. But even then there might be some extreme event that will throw 'soot in the food'.
I think it is just great how this event is handled. Almost everybody I know knows the alternative alarm number. Police is in the streets so you can walk to them. And as far as we know there are no looters taking their chances.
So yeah, bad, but we have to wait before we can mark it as big fuckup.
I'm not sure the name is good because light tracing means 'ray tracing from the light to the camera'.
Light tracing gives the best results in theory, but it not very usefull because a lot of rays will be rendered without ever ending up in the camera. Which is ofcourse a waste of resourses.
New currencies always fluctuate very much when they start because no one knows what the value is. Most of the time this will settle after some time (years) because then the market decided it's value.
I even think there are countries where the currency fluctuates more than Bitcoin.
I think the first step is to wake up. Really think about what impact the info addiction has on your life. Bucause if you don't it is very hard to see why you should change bad behavior.
The next step is taking babysteps because big steps most of the time don't work.
So for example start by turning off all notifications.
Then allow yourself to YouTube for only 2 hours a day instead of 3.
The Rubin Report has some interviews with Eckhart Tolle on YouTube right now with a lot of insights. And Peter Peterson is also someone who speaks a lot about these subjects.
To me the succes of Slack also shows how invaluable it is.
Companies jumped to it very easily. Everybody just started using it. And the moment something better comes along Slack will be forgotten.
I think this is different from Facebook. Company employees come and go so they don't value what they put on Slack very much. And for companies the history on slack is also not very important.
Well that's how I see how Slack is being used inside different companies.
They also don't make it clear what the difference between iPro and Pro is (desktop vs workstation). When you know this, the prices can be seen with different eyes (except for the stand maybe).
For example the top range workstations from HP are over $10,000.
And you can buy a Sony reference monitor for $20,000.
But I still don't know what market Apple is targeting. Most of Hollywood is using Windows and Linux. So it will be hard to get them back.
Maybe they target audio shops who are still mostly on MacOS.
Or they have a surprise for us all. For example: Apple is working hard with OTOY to make real-time rendering very fast with Metal.
If this boost is so great maybe they can get back marketshare in Hollywood.
But until then I think only the real fans will buy a Pro.
Video, CAD/CAM, research will be using Windows and Linux for now I guess.
