    Macbook Pro Purchase Considerations

    Posted: 01 Aug 2018 04:31 PM PDT

    Trying to decide between a refurbished 2015 15" Macbook Pro 4 core 2.5GHz i7, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, AMD Radeon R9 M370X 2GB with HDMI, USB, MagSafe adapter for $1850

    AND a brand new Apple 15" MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, 6 core Intel Core i7 2.6GHz, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Radeon Pro 560X 4GB, Space Gray for $3319.

    Primary uses will be:

    -Lightroom working with 10-20 MB files, some 40MB files, with some deeper editing of photos in Photoshop, 60% home use.

    -Traktor Digital Vinyl DJ software

    Secondary usage will be:

    -Reason and other DAW (Digital Audio Workstations) for both live recording and studio recording

    -multi-tasking managerial duties, (spreadsheets for ordering/scheduling events with browser running, notepad, google drive, playing music, all simultaneously)

    -playing Hi Res movie files through projector (2-5 GB)

    -Light gaming

    Other major considerations are:

    Longevity and future proof-ness. I don't want to buy another laptop in 3 years.

    Connectivity. I'm human, I misplace or don't always remember dongles, however I'm fine with buying dedicated adapters for cables.

    MagSafe power adapter. I haven't used a USB-C charging port yet, but Im nervous about the lack of it and the damage it could cause in a situation where the MagSafe would have protected it.

    Ultimately, I feel like I'm weighing the benefits of newer hardware, primarily the 6 core 2.6 i7 chip, the 4gb video card (don't really care about touch bar, although I see benefits in workflow for lightroom/photoshop) versus the benefits of having a dedicated HDMI port, USB ports and a magsafe adapter for roughly $1000 less.

    Am I going to notice a performance difference when doing any of the above between the two laptops? How about 3 years from now? And will spending the extra $1500 now ensure I don't have to spend $1850 again in 4 years?

    Thanks in advance!

    Face recognition in Photos

    Posted: 01 Aug 2018 05:20 AM PDT

    Hi all.

    I have a fairly decent Photos library (about 130.000 items) and I noticed that it is quite slow (about 100 pictures a day) are scanned for face recognition in the People tab.

    Does any of you have any suggestion to speed this up?

    Since I am shooting almost more pictures than it scans in a day I will not live to see this process ending.

    Ok So, I did something really stupid and I realize that.

    Posted: 01 Aug 2018 06:15 PM PDT

    So I was high and:

    I used an app called "Batchmod" to set / to read and write for every user like a fucking idiot.

    So now, when I try to open terminal, it crashes instantly. So I thought "Meh just reinstall". So I went into recovery mode and reinstalled high sierra disregarding all my data like a fucking dumbass. Little did I know, that doesn't erase your data. So I was glad. But now, I can't login. Even though the FileVault password lets me in, the main login doesn't. I type my password and I know it is the right one, but it shakes. Oh, I tried doing the command "resetPassword" in recovery mode within macOS Utilities.

    Am I screwed? I need help. Please. I realize I was dumb, trust me. Now whenever I smoke, I lock my laptop away. But is there a way to get back into my Mac? Thanks.

    Password not required when joined to home wifi?

    Posted: 01 Aug 2018 06:53 AM PDT

    Like title says - is it possible? it is quite annoying that i have to put password everytime even though I am at home, especially that I have a habbit that I take off watch when entering home.
