HUGE THANKS to @nomadgoods for the care package! 💚
I LOVE the pen! 🖋️❤️👍
that's quite the care package! looks great! -
I bought the cheapest M1 Macbook Air back in June ($999/8gb/256gb) expecting to want to upgrade to whatever Pro was launched this fall, but tbh I've been super impressed at how powerful it is, even for video editing, and I don't really feel like I need to upgrade now 🤷

I went with the M1 Max for the multiple display out capability without the need for lots of Display Link adapters. Currently looking to see if theres a device out there that simplfys Zoom scraping. Any ideas?
Yeah that's definitely a limitation of this M1, but as my main day-to-day computer I don't actually need more than one external display anyway.
I'd definitely take a look at ZoomISO and DeckLink cards or an UltraStudio, which is far better than multiple displays anyway. -

See my last tweet Aaron. It's cool for what it is but that price tag got me sweating. 😅
On a completely different note: nice to see you at @btconf in Düsseldorf soon-ish. 🤟 -

@aaronpk thanks for that. I’m going to pick up the Air at Costco
It is surprisingly good, especially for $999. I'm not sure I would spend more than that, because once you start getting closer to $2000 it probably makes more sense to go with the new M1 Pro processor. -
It's here! I designed these stands to make it easier to use the YoloBox on a desk and to give you ways to attach accessories like wireless mics or HDMI receivers!
The new PK1 stand for YoloBox and YoloBox Pro are available for preorders, shipping starting November 1! Available in both red and black for both YoloBox models!
Visit https://pk1.tv/pk1-yolobox-stand/ for links to purchase!

@aaronpk Been thinking of swapping my 21.5" iMac for that M1 MacBook Air. I keep getting lured by upgrading to 16 GB RAM and/or the 512 GB storage, but I probably don't even need those! Does the 8 GB Air ever feel RAM-constrained?
Yeah I'm definitely maxing out the RAM and it always is using swap, and I do have to use external drives to work on any video projects because those are way too big for the internal drive. But at the time I bought it, it was clear there was going to be a new launch in the fall, so I didn't want to spend any more on the computer than I had to. But now, looking at the specs, the $1449 Air with 16/512 is a lot more appealing than the $4000 config I'd get on the Pro. -
Once @auth0 introduced support for @FIDOAlliance platform authenticators in June, it instantly ate much of OTP and Push as the preferred authentication option 😎

@aaronpk Good to know! I don't do much video editing—most of my work is prose or code—but there have been times where 256GB storage feels tight.
In Canada, the 8/256 Air is $1,299 and the 16/512 is $1,899... The Pro would be a ridiculous indulgence for me, as hot as the new form factor is. 🤓
Hey, maybe in another year or two we'll get a redesigned Air with MagSafe and an M2, and that'll be your huckleberry. (I'm tempted to hold out for that machine, in fact!)
I still want the old 12" size back! That was my favorite form factor by far. A 12" Air with magsafe and the SD card slot would be amaaaazing -

@jessekelber Oof, that sounds good. I've had a weird Linux laptop for the last few years, but I just can't seem to love it. I had a 2011 Air for six years and it basically ruined me for any lesser computer. 😍
The 2010-2011 11" was so good! I used that thing for years! -

With the amount of creators purchasing the new $4000 Macs, I need to either:
1. limit my expenses per month.
2. up my YouTube game.
3. Call my credit card company and up my limit.
4. Ponder how much lucrative illegality is worth it 😂
That's the same config I was looking at, and could not bring myself to do it. I just keep thinking about all the other things I could buy with $4000, like a 32x32 SDI matrix, or 10 Lumix G7 cameras, or... -

Yeah, I hear you. And to be clear, if someone has the money to spend and wants one of them, more power to them. That's awesome. It just ZERO sense for ME to put that money down on a computer, right now.
and like you said, when I think $4000, I think more lenses.
Yeah for sure, I have no issue with people buying them! If I hadn't bought this M1 Air in June I probably would be buying one right now. -
I can’t get over the fact that the U.S. Congress is so dysfunctional when it comes to passing laws that Visa and MasterCard are the de facto regulators of the internet porn industry.

I'm seeing a lot of weird push back on folks buying the new MacBooks.
Businesses need tools right?
I assume you dont run up to your mechanic and berate them for buying an expensive lift when you take your car in for service?
Apple sells them as lifestyle purchases, so I think what people are actually upset about is that someone else gets to buy that lifestyle that isn't them. -

I mean I assume pro stands for "Getting paid to use this" 🤣
I thought "pro" was short for "prosumer" -- a professional consumer -

No live show this week, sorry… too much going on. Hopefully I’ll do one next week and the plan (fingers crossed) is to do it with the @YoloLivTech YoloBox Pro
oh darn I was looking forward to that one! -
at what point do the emails and gmail labels from jobs and projects 10+ years ago stop being relevant and should I delete them?

Hypothetically, if you wanted to keep them but didn’t want them cluttering your primary Gmail you could dump them into a new Gmail account.
That's something I hadn't considered... like forwarding them all? Or is there some way to move them between accounts that I don't know. -

@aaronpk I have carefully downloaded folders and removed them from my SMTP server at this age. Turns out I have never searched such backups. Not even once. So deletion sounds like the way to go.
yeah exactly, my reason for keeping them is that I might want to be able to search them later. I'd say I've found value in some ~5 year old search results, but stuff from before 2010 is from a whole different world at this point. -
@aaronpk ah yes, before the Year of the Linux Desktop and the broadly liberating force of Bitcoin took hold. I’m just glad we now live in the distributed digital utopia we were promised.

You're probably right

This probably isn't for everyone but I purge everything older than 7 years, and I've stopped using labels altogether. It's either in my inbox, or archived and I search for it. Actually I do still have one label, for @idpro_org.

At this point my main use of labels is the auto labeling rules I set up so that my inbox is color coded based on the project -
