Btw, the main benefit to using a Mac over a PC for images is color palettes, gamma adjustments, displays, etc. have always been more accurate on a Mac than PC. You can literally take two monitors on a PC, from the same manufacture no less, and have different colors. Not that you can't color correct on Windows, but that also depends on the drivers, etc. Macs tend to do this sorta stuff out of the box with very little configuration needed.
There are areas where a PC will be much better IMO. Like, backwards compatibility for instance. Macs suck with that. I mean, you could say Apple is "bold" for trying new things, and sure. But, backwards compatible ain't one of them.  But, if you're looking for a good display with accurate colors, that's the whole reason people use Macs for graphics in the first place. Macs aren't made for tinkering, they're supposed to just "work" so you get back to whatever you was doing... supposed to.

I'm sitting here chuckling thinking back to my first experience with Mac...IIRC it was a PowerMac 6100s from 1994ish. The phone company was throwing it away so my dad scavenged it and gave it to me complete with software, a printer, scsi cd reader and a huge 13'' color monitor.  It got me through my first year back at uni, but when I got into the programming classes, I had to finally get my first windows machine.
While it's true that the colors looked fantastic on that little monitor, too much of the time it was displaying a sad mac face, or worse yet, a bomb icon!  I must have rebuilt that system at least a dozen times. Frustrating, but it taught me a lot. I do realize that the h/w and software (7.5.x) that I owned were from a time when quality was questionable/shoddy, and that quality was vastly improved by the time the iMac came out and has only gotten better. That said, I still (illogically I know) hold a grudge and refuse to get an iDevice for myself. (the wife is on iPad/iPhone #8...the benefit being when she has an iProblem, I don't gotta be involved! another benefit is to avoid video calls...sorry, doesn't work on my android!  )

Amazing how the simple act of unchecking the Use hardware video acceleration box in Chrome allows you to waste several more hours watching cat videos (and videos on how transformer neural nets work ![Heart | [heart]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/love.gif) ).

Curious: what problems were you seeing with it checked? (And does this mean it's time for you to upgrade your rig? If so I'll help you go shopping. I have a couple in mind...)

Hi Chris, I have a one year old NUC (i7-1165G7 @ 2.80 GHz, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD, Win10 with Win11 capability) that runs well. After my latest Chrome upgrade, playing a few YouTube (but not Vimeo) videos would cause my screen to blink randomly, even after I'd shutdown all instances of Chrome. This had never happened before. Disabling hardware video acceleration in Chrome fixed it!

I have a similar issue with the latest NVidia drivers and Chrome. It causes temporary full screen artifacts sometimes, but it's like they flash on the screen and then go away, so I've lived with it. At first I was really concerned. See, my mobo lost the little PCIe clasp for the GPU slot. I'd put it back in, but if I do so for reasons I will never be able to remove the GPU again without disassembling my entire mobo, including CPU, cooler and RAM.
My mobo is horizontal, so it shouldn't be a problem, but for a bit there I thought that might be the culprit - a loose connection.
Then I realized it only happens when I'm using Chrome.
I suppose I could disable hardware acceleration, but it doesn't occur frequently enough, or for long enough at any given time to be that bothersome to me.

I also saw the annoying artifacts. Worse, after watching a couple of YouTube videos my Android emulator (started from within VS) displayed rendering errors (missing bottom navigation bar, missing app icons on home screen). I feared I would need to do a dreaded system rebuild or worse get a new box, but a bit o' Googling thankfully pointed me to the solution. All's well now.

I've been considering an M3 Air. Is that on your short list?

Well, you can use Seriously Spicy Habaneros in all sorts of ways. Put them in a good jam, for a kick. Yummo. It's only remote when you have to go the store to buy them. But once they're home...

Wouldn't that be a Spiceworks question then.

Btw your profile says senior software developer. You may want to change that to something more honest...

Well I'm one and I haven't had to mess with ssh. But I do know enough not to ask in the Lounge.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

I'm sure you know what SSH is though. And how to least learn if you needed to, especially considering it's just an interface to a shell. So, if you know CMD.exe, PowerShell, bash, etc., you already know the concept of SSH.

This is one of a reasons I avoid calling myself "senior developer" or "architect". Not to be one of them... Today everyone is senior and architect. I am the last non-architect programmer in the company.
