Ya UIwise and wrt ease of use it's great.. But I hate losing control of updates.. And I've had BSOD issues as well.. Have done a few tweaks here and there to fix those.. But stability wise I still love Win 7.. Fingers crossed, hoping the future has a stable OS in store for me lol 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But your second take is more interesting from the technological side of things, of course. I used Sticky Notes for a while, when I first discovered them, but I used them irresponsibly, so I gave up on them again 🙂 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send somepne a .pages file and they will most likely ask you to resnd as PDF or docx. If you are doing photo or video editing Mac seems the preferred system, but if you are dealing in documents, it is still a Windows world. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattboa Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I've got a 6 core i5 with 16 gigs of RAM. The graphics card from my previous rig died and nearly all components were 5 years old, so I decided to put a new one together as soon as I'd have a new GPU in my hands (I bought a new 1060 in April for 100€, which was/still is going for 300-400€, nearly 400-500 USD, due to the chip crisis). 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callyofficial Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 A custom build i7 with 16 GB ram mostly used for music apps. Thinking of updating to an i9 or AMD Ryzen 9 soon (not a Mac fan). I also have a Dell XPS 13 for when I'm on the move. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khalifacyrusuk Posted July 22, 2021 Author Share Posted July 22, 2021 This discussion is so good!! I'm super surprised by the love for Windows OS - coming from someone who is absolutely hooked on Mac, after having Windows for most of my life. So great to hear how everyone is getting on - from using retro computers with relatively week hardware, to i9 processors! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visualstudios Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) My main machine is a 27 inch 5k iMac with the RX580 and a 6 core i5, 24Gb ram. I also use a Mac mini m1, and a MacBook Pro. In terms of software, FCPX and Apple Motion. I don't touch anything by adobe, ever. Edited July 22, 2021 by visualstudios 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are doing photo or video editing Mac seems the preferred system, but if you are dealing in documents, it is still a Windows world. When I got sent the first .pages file, I asked to resend in another format. When I got the the second one, I did some research and figured out a workaround to not have to ask - which, all in all, took me longer than the actual job. However, the idea, of course, was, figure out once, use forever after. Nobody sent a .pages file since, and if someone will, I'd have to figure it out again, because I forgot by now, so... People do often send image files of their texts, though... If it's at least screenshots of printed text, that's kind of okay (but I don't like having to estimate word count), but sometimes, it's photographs of a handwritten text in light grey pencil on ruled off-white paper, you get the picture... 😅 Did you as a VO person ever get an image file to work with? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pro tip - on m1 Macs on Mac OS Monterey the photos app has intelligent text detection, that will transcribe any text on an image to editable text. Works incredibly well!

That does not look like a font the real Microsoft would use to represent itself. That's not a professional-looking font, and I would expect Microsoft to use something clean and crisp, certainly not Comic Sans. That makes me wonder if the software certain people are claiming to be Windows 11, is actually not from Microsoft at all, but rather someone/company posing as Microsoft. I've heard that a limited beta version is out, however, I've been seeing too many people that I doubt would be given early access to a software, praising it's qualities. 10 minutes ago, theratypist said: It hasn't arrived for me yet! Yeah, I've seen official reported statements indicating that Windows 11 isn't going out to the public until later this year -- at the earliest. It seems odd that so many people here on the Fiverr forums are claiming to already be using it. That pictured "Windows 11" opening screen raises red flags for me. Just saying.

What computer do you use to complete your Gig orders - and what software are you using? I think it would be really interesting to see what people use and how they're finding it! This is not an advert for any software or brand!! 😄 For me: when I began in 2019, I used an old Dell laptop. I was lucky enough to invest my earnings in an iMac - and now Macbook Pro, which really improved my efficiency and delivery times! What about you?🥰 I am using Lenovo Legion Y545. I use Adobe Illustrator cc 2021 and Adobe Photoshop cc 2021 which works really smooth on my laptop. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
