What Are You Doing Right Now

Well, just tried Shoppe Keep on the Mac and, like so many Mac apps, the only way to do anything was to power cycle the laptop. Argh.
-
Tried Blackguards, so far that looks like a good game.
-
Cheesecake Factory for dinner.

Am I the only one who has noticed that Windows Admins often feel like Linux is hard only because whatever they needed to do on Linux was hard and on Windows it was so hard or impossible that they gave up? It's an odd definition of hard. No matter how hard something is, doable is always easier than impossible.

Checked out "Home is Where One Starts". Looks like it is going to be cool. Needs a faster machine than I have currently to take advantage of it, though. Even in a small window the MacBook Pro can barely handle the "medium" graphics level!
What GPU is in the MBP?
-
Not sure but it is the highest end one available for the MBP. It's the nVidia discrete model.
-
Is it the 2015 or 2014 model?
-
Retina, the very latest 2015 model. Top of the line, most recent.
-
Played several hours of Blackguards and the kids watched me play and really enjoyed it. Not a bad game, not a style that I would normally choose but I got sucked in and it is fun.

at work now

hmmm, well it's either Intel Iris Pro or an AMD Radeon R9 M370X
More likely the AMD.
Spec sheet if you're interested: http://www.amd.com/en-us/products/graphics/notebook/r9-m200
It is a 3 year old GPU but from what I can see, it blows away the previous nVidia GPU.Is the game a port to OSX? Might just be a bad port.

Might be, it seems that over half of all games on Mac don't run at all. Can't figure out if it is a Mac compatibility issue or just bad games. It's so common, it seems unlikely that it can just be the fault of the games themselves.

AFAIK Macs don't do OpenGL brilliantly. They seem to be pushing OpenCL.

OpenCL is a competitor with CUDA. It's not for graphics or games. It's for parallel processing using the CPU and GPU together.

The graphics card in this MBP is...
nVidia GeForce GT 750M with 2GB

Happy Friday!!
Congrats on the iBroken
Was browsing through the pictures as they are copied off my failing NAS and came across this one.
image properties say
Not quite a full 3 years from the iPad4.

@JaredBusch , that's not a good way to start the day.
Files are copying off extremely slowly also. I am really worried about losing data. I've setup a robocopy job targeting pictures first.
robocopy "\\10.254.103.6\Media\Pictures" "G:\Media\Pictures" /MIR /Z /W:5 /R:5 /LOG:"D:\RoboLogs\Media-%tdate%-%ttime%.txt" /TEE /NP /XO /FFT /XF *.iso *.exe *.sql *.mpg *.mov *.avi *.mpeg *.mkv *.mp4This just HAD to happen when the offsite backup was gone.
Transfer speeds reading data off the NAS and writing to a USB 3 HDD are so slow.. The sending in this is CrashPlan uploading a different directory.

Right, well that explains it. I haven't found any kind words regarding that GPU yet.

It's Apple's top of the line option. It's an MBP, this is the built in card that they charge an arm and a leg for.
