That means a lot, thank you 🫶🏻 I will indeed 🙂‍↕️

Hahah you're the insect spotter now! Trying to film these on a bush is intense.. they fell about 3 times 😂 I don't think I've used it yet.. need to get on that!

@@brandonkennedy Hahaha I suppose I am. You got to give it a go, super handy!

@@corruptx7 I'll get on it man, thank you!

Thank you 🙏🏻

Yep I believe so, I tried it on mine and it prompts me to do it. These drones have to comply otherwise DJI will go out of business 😁

Same! Considering the iPad just got it, you’d hope that this gets it too!

You can install whatever you want, it's a PC like any other!

That’s a great shout man! A great excuse to go on another holiday👀😂 thank you🙏🏻

Hey, it’s absolutely perfect, no issues at all🙏🏻

I suppose that’s not my line of work so I don’t really notice - what monitor would you recommend? / any ultra wides that would be a good choice?

Thank you sir 🙏🏻 Yep I best get my thinking cap on, looking to get a new one in ASAP!

Awesome, congrats on the new machine!

Good shout, there's also plenty of other companies that do affordable mice/keyboards!

Hell yes! Its small enough that it fits just about anywhere

It’s hard not to

To get you thinking exactly that🌚

It’s a straight pipe cat back 😎

@@brandonkennedy oh fr? I have a 04 and have the x pipes to flow masters and they sound decent. I want mine to sound like this at some point

@@th3lasts3cond24 Yessir! Awesome man, they are great cars.. really hard to beat the V8 roar!

And MacBook!

I think it should be fine - music production shouldn't be too demanding on RAM, how is it on your current machine?

Thanks man🙂‍↔️Yeah that’s to be expected though! Still running like a dream🙏🏻

I’m glad to hear it🙏🏻 which model do you have?

@@brandonkennedy M2 8gb/512gb it meets my needs

@@splatoon_octo Awesome, hope you enjoy it for many years to come!

Hahah either is very fair! Thanks man🙂‍↕️

That’s exactly what it’s all about! I’d love to go iPad only but it’s not up to scratch with MacOS.. maybe after the event in a few days that might change. Apple Studio M2 Max is a powerhouse of a desktop, I have the M2 Mini as mine😁

That’s a great gift to get! Yeah the price is crazy and it forces you to consider buying the MacBook Pro and then you’ll need to upgrade that and spend even more money😂

Thank you🙂‍↕️

🤷🏻‍♂️

i use LR Classic on mine and it works great. and i am also using an external ssd drive. I also got a dock that it sits on that accepts an ssd, and i'm using that to store and run all of my applications.

It works perfectly, you’ll have no issues at all.

Great to hear! I think I need to get an SSD for all the footage I’m gathering with each video😂🤦🏻‍♂️

That’s very strange.. it doesn’t sound like they have any idea what’s causing it? Personally I rarely call from Mac but haven’t seen any issues with it. Is it happening with a particular number or any number?

Losing out on steps!🤣🤣

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that... I feel like it's rarely called out, they definitely should be able to make that battery better, even if it meant sacrificing more space on the wrist, I think the majority would be fine with that.

Totally agree with you on this. The fitness tracking is the only feature I use.

@@andykeith1 Awesome! Which watch did you go for?

Apple Watch 7. I’ve also tried the Whoop band. Prefer having an actual watch together with the fitness tracking, but the poor battery life and hard to disable notifications are big downsides. I found the heart rate monitor on the whoop to be much better also

Jesus.. the fact that they're the most expensive accessory apple have and still failing is insane. What happened with them, did they just die on you? That would definitely put me off big time. They do look great though, so at least they were a nice decoration while you were waiting on a fix 😄

Thank you my friend 🙌🏻 Ohh not a bad idea! Are you into watches?!

@@brandonkennedy yeah, very much, in process of building my own watch collection 😅

@@dukerozen Exciting! I don't think you ever stop building to be honest.. What have you got at the moment?!

@@brandonkennedy just some Casios, looking to buy vintage Seiko SNXJ89, 43mm Bulova Linar Pilot, and I really like Seiko 5 GMT in blue. What’s your grail watch?

@@dukerozen very nice, it’s exciting seeing you build your collection, I can only imagine what it’ll be like in a few years. I’ve literally taken a day or so to reply on purpose to think about my grail.. I think it comes down to a Patek Philippe Nautilus steel with a blue dial or even the white/yellow gold 👀 orrrr something like the vacheron overseas.. two epic watches, but who knows my mind could change tomorrow 😂 what’s your grail?!

Ayyy thanks man, hope you're keeping well! Need another album asap 😄

I’d normally agree but have to give Apple the pass on this one🙂‍↕️

😁

I think it'll suit you just fine - I'm exactly the same when it comes to using the apple keyboard/Magic Mouse - I haven't really an issue with the Magic Keyboard but it is too shallow, I'd rather have a mechanical keyboard that can switch between the two and I use my MX Master, do you know what specs you want to get out of the mini?

@@brandonkennedy Yes the mouse and kb are too thin, I used a wired full KB from apple and it died just out of warranty, it broke my heart and I never went back to it :-). I use the mac for light work, wish they had a 27 inch imac and i would grab it. But mostly youtube, watching security cameras and browsing for the mac. Because my i7 does the heavy lifting of unity game dev I can do with a basic mac. So I dont know if the new shared type of 8gb memory is enough or not? could you share how much ram is used on the new M class macs if one opens youtube in 4k, couple of tabs and maybe an office app or some other 2-3 light apps in total. If it uses like 70% its fine and if it goes high and/or uses paging, then I would need 16gigs i think. internal ssd is never an issue, i always hook up a high performing external ssd on this imac 27 to prevent burnout later in life, mostly because i use systems well till the end of their lives :-)

@@GalaxianGamer Yeah the base model would be perfect for you, they are super powerful in their own right but do struggle under the bigger load applications - you will still get away with shorter term 'higher' load instances but it wouldn't be ideal if that was your workflow 99% of the time.

Thank you man! That's exactly it, like anything you just have to put your own mark on it.

Oh yeah I forgot about the Dolby Atmos... have you been sent by apple to further pull me into the ecosystem!? What is it like for podcasts?

@@brandonkennedy podcasts are in their whole separated app (apple podcasts) but yeah i switched some years ago to apple music and i really love it. you should consider it, and it's pretty easy to transfer your playlists with some random apps !

Thanks man! Coming from intel is literally going to be like night and day for you.. it’s going to be one of the best purchases you’ll ever make!

Awesome! It’ll last for years to come my friend, best of luck with it🙏🏻

🥲

how

Ayyy! Congrats man, hope you enjoy it🙏🏻

Love that! Linux is great, I assume that’s your go to?

@@brandonkennedy Indeed

I love Linux, but disagree unless by “pros” you just mean people who tend to know more about computing, operating systems, privacy and full control. However, if you mean “pro” to be people who do heavy photo and video creation, I’d disagree. Linux systems have horrible battery life and apps for photo and video creation have been painful to wait for them to improve. Yes, Darktable is great, but the interface is not very intuitive and has a pretty good learning curve. For video, I don’t know any pros who rely on Linux for their video editing requirements. I’m sure there are many, but the majority are using mainstream tools build for Windows or Mac, but usually not to include Linux availability. I find Linux to be the very best OS, but not for content creation. I also love its privacy, its scarcity among the masses, and its polish across many distros. But I hate its horrible battery management on laptops. If I lived on a desktop, I’d probably lean more toward Linux, but on laptops I have yet to find one that can get long battery life without weighing 5 pounds.

What kind of work will you be doing on it?

@@brandonkennedy mostly regular productive stuff, but I tent to dabble with PS/Canva. My biggest concern is future proofing cuz I ain’t buying a new machine every 2-3yrs.

@@InfamousHp I think the M2 will be fine for the next 2-3 years and you’ll have no issues with your workload.. however if you don’t mind waiting I’d say the M3 mini is right around the corner

@@brandonkennedy Sounds like Apple is waiting for the M4 chip for the next Mac Mini update

@@jaredowner yeah very possible, this event will be interesting!

Yes it does indeed! It has hdmi output as well as USB C

@@brandonkennedy thanks

@@RattyOfficial no problem!

Haha! Someone likes their shopping 😁

The M chip is a hell of a jump! You’ll love it.

I’ve done a video on my M2 Mac Mini if you’re interested - check it out

It all depends on your workflow, it’s perfect for me🙌🏻
