I have $11k to play with - most of which will end up going towards car expenses. I have to spend like $3000 of it before the end of the year for reasons I won't elaborate on. So it's this, or putting money into the Porsche, and I can't use the Porsche during the winter so it would lack the gratification I'm seeking to do so.
I used to be a professional photographer (www.bradgillette.net) and during the process became really good at Photoshop.
Then I stopped working, my computer got old (2013 i7 iMac), and I couldn't edit in Photoshop anymore because my computer was too slow. I don't know if I'm going to be able to become a professional photographer again, or if it's just going to be a hobby, but I'm worried I've lost a lot of my skills from lack of use. I feel like having a new, more powerful computer will inspire me to get back into it. In the meantime I've gotten really good at nailing shots in-camera and doing very minor editing, basically limited to what I could do in a physical color darkroom. That said, my images could always be improved with Photoshop.
I bought my current computer, a 2020 M1 MacBook Air, a couple years ago to do normal computer things and minor editing with my old camera (Canon 5D mkII) but now I have a new camera (Canon 5R) that produces much larger file sizes and it's too slow to run Photoshop to any useful extent and using Lightroom is painful.
I also want to get back into video production.
Should I dump $3500 into a laptop that could do everything I could ask of it, even though I don't have the income stream to support it at the time, and use it for practice? Or should I look at cheaper options like around $2500. I feel like if I don't spend the extra $1000 it'll come to bite me in the butt in the future.
This post is brought to you by weed, adderall, and lack of sleep thinking about this darn computer.

Are there actual health benefits of drinking more water?
Publicly released: Tue 26 Nov 2024 at 0300 AEDT | 0500 NZDT
We often get told we should drink more water, but US experts say the actual benefits of increasing water consumption are not well established, so they set out to review the evidence that drinking more water is good for you. They found that while there is a limited number of clinical trials, a small number of studies did suggest increasing your water intake has benefits for weight loss and kidney stones. There were also individual studies which they say raise the possibility of benefits for migraine prevention, UTIs, diabetes control, and low blood pressure. They say that given how cheap and safe water is, we should have more well-designed studies to assess the benefits of drinking more water for these conditions.
If you drank water before today, in any amount at all, you are nothing more than a pseudoscience peddling witch doctor twink.
Thank you Neil.
Thank you Bill.
Thank you the other Bill.
Thank you Asian Dude.
Thank you Newton.
WATER IS GOOD FOR YOU TO DRINK

Mozilla points to a key but less eye-catching proposal from the DOJ to regulate Google's search business, which a judge ruled as a monopoly in August. In their recommendations, federal prosecutors urged the court to ban Google from offering "something of value" to third-party companies to make Google the default search engine over their software or devices.
"The proposed remedies are designed to end Google's unlawful practices and open up the market for rivals and new entrants to emerge," the DOJ told the court. The problem is that Mozilla earns most of its revenue from royalty deals—nearly 86% in 2022—making Google the default Firefox browser search engine.
As a result, Mozilla says the DOJ's proposal could "unnecessarily impact browser competition,"
"If implemented, the prohibition on search agreements with all browsers regardless of size and business model will negatively impact independent browsers like Firefox and have knock-on effects for an open and accessible internet," Mozilla says. "As written, the remedies will harm independent browsers without material benefit to search competition."

Our post starts off with OP sharing their hypothesis on why very few games are developed for GNU/Linux - not because of low market share, but because of 'backroom licensing and exclusivity deals'.
The post is relatively well received and generates some interesting discussion, but the slapfights begin when OP starts replying to every comment that disagrees with their assertion.
Some comments trimmed for brevity, click the links for the full text. I've linked a few nuggets but OP is all over the comments.
Is Game Pass the same thing as Windows exclusivity?
OP:
It's money from Microsoft which often implies exclusivity. [...]
Commenter:
OP:
Making vague and accusatory statements does not prove anything.
You're only trying to discredit my idea by insulting me. It's a last ditch effort of someone that lacks arguments of his own.
Do game developers have the facts? Or are their bosses lying to them?
OP:
Indie game devs never get exclusivity deals because of how small their potential sales are.
And if you're working for a big game dev company as a developer then you sure as heck aren't privileged to the reasoning behind your boss's decisions.
All you get is pretenses and platitudes just like any other employee.
Another commenter jumps in and the thread eventually ends with:
I don't usually block people here but you've crossed a line I cannot tolerate.
I really hope you seek professional help. You are a deeply disturbed individual.
Another game developer adds their take
I've tried to ask for Linux and macOS support at some of the places I've worked at (because using a different compiler helps flush out bugs) but it is very hard to argue against the data to management AND publishers. [...]
OP:
You disagree because your boss told you something else and you believe him?
Dude...
Commenter:
The Steam Hardware Survey shows the same ~1% data.
You are in complete denial over the facts.
The book club joins the fray
TLDR big word budget, rambling confused conspiratorial nonsense
OP:
Commenter:
Some commenters just go for the jugular
It's absolutely low market share. It's not that deep and you're not that smart.
OP:
and
why is this theard still up? why isnt this absolute low iq moron banned yet?
OP:
All this and more in the full comments, sorted by Q&A for your viewing pleasure. You'll have to expand to view most of OP's comments since they've been downmarseyd.

How hard would it be to break into the computer vision industry? It seems like if you can combine the hardware and the software it makes you look more valuable to a company, and that's what computer vision engineers do, right? Can you be somewhere between a basic opencv user and the mathematicians making tensorflow and still make decent money doing this stuff?
Anybody that does cv at work, is it a full time thing or just a part of your job?
Thanks

tech/science swag. 
Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and NOT drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
The quality of posts is extremely important to this community. Contributors are encouraged to provide high-quality or funny effortposts and informative or entertaining comments. Please refrain from posting the following:
Boring wingcucked nonsense nobody cares about that belongs in chudrama
Normie shit everyone already knows about
Anything that doesn't gratifify one's intellectual laziness
Bimothy-tier posts
Anything that the jannies don't like
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to read them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. This hole is a janny playground, participation implies enthusiastic consent to being janny abused by unstable alcoholic bullies and loser nerds who have nothing better to do than banning you for any reason or no reason whatsoever.
