I'm in no rush to upgrade, however I agree 100% that it's a great time to be a geek! There's so much cool and affordable hardware out there now. Great high powered lights, lasers, arduinos, Raspberry Pi's, cheap laptops, and there's an absolute renaissance in sophisticated and affordable test equipment.

Yeah, when Apple makes their own software and hardware, they can squeak out a lot of efficiencies that might not be as easy using another manufacturer's silicon.

My brother is a geek who wears a belt and suspenders at the same time. He knows all the latest techno-stuff.

Me? When I see the word Intel I think it's talking about the CIA spying on me and Apple is a delicious red thing in my fruit bowl.

... and they took twenty-seven 8 x 10 colored glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of
each one explainin' what each one was, to be used as evidence against us

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Yes, VFX have really been democratized in recent years. It used to take a huge, expensive rendering farm to churn out many of the things that you can produce on a single device now.
