The Stalman Podcast

I am a little bit addicted to apps. Finding new apps, reading app reviews, trying demos, I just can't stop optimizing the apps on my Mac. I brought my good friend Kelly Thompson on to talk about all of our most indispensable apps, from utilities to media production. Also plenty of tips and tricks to optimize your desktop and have it working just the way you like. If you are into photography, video production, web or print design, there will be something here that you need. And I missed you're favourite app, come find me on Twitter @stalman and tell me all about it.

Computer hardware is hard, so let's talk about RAM, disk speeds and eGPUs. Just because you rely on a computer for your job, doesn't mean you understand how it works. Olaf Blomerus came on so we could explore all the things we know and wish we knew about computer hardware. Whether you're on Mac or Windows, desktop or laptop, you're always better off having a deeper understanding of your machine. We cover when you need more RAM, who can benefit from more powerful graphics cards, multi-code vs single thread, and more. This is especially a must listen for anyone who edits video, photos or 3D and has been forced to wait on their computer when it seems like you shouldn't have to. Or it's the perfect episode if you're about to buy a new computer. We also talk about some of the details of my new MacBook Pro, which was a grueling process to configure. It had to be perfect!Special Guest: Olaf Blomerus.Links:Olaf Blomerus on VimeoMacBook Pro 2018: An Upgrade Story - YouTube
