You’ve been an inspiration for self improvement dude! Keep it up!

[@LukeMadeIt]

you got this 💜👊 will be doing a day in the life this week too

[@ohwell1832]

As a new dev I only have macbook air planning to get next year on macbook pro. Explanations of these software tools is clear because the videography is good. I love how you explain these tools and zooming out to you actually typing and then zoom in to the actual screen. It's flawless.. makes the video explaining to you personally.

[@LukeMadeIt]

appreciate that! 💜 I tried to find the sweet spot between making the video cinematic but also somewhat educational at the same time 🤞

Absolute banger bro. Banger banger banger 🔥

Congratulations on the new macbook!!! One day ill buy macbook too, now its too expensive for me 😅 Also love ur unboxing, very informative and aesthetic at the same time

[@sohaibhadia3526]

Hope u get one soon❤

[@LukeMadeIt]

💜💜 BTW you most likely dont need a maxed out one, I just hated when my editing software started lagging or the other stuff I mentioned in the video but trust me for most the base version is insanely good already this year, ofc its still expensive but quite good value imo

[@vshakitskiy]

@@sohaibhadia3526 thanks a lot!

[@vshakitskiy]

@@LukeMadeIt yea, thanks for the advice For my job I will most likely buy basic version with 1tb and thats all. Maybe for docker and subsystems i'll also buy more ram, but i'll think about it once i get a job. Still a freshman student, so I dont need that powerful tech

[@π.14]

I currently use HP Victus 16. I need it for 3D CAD, programming, and general use. Works great but at some point I plan to update.

[@LukeMadeIt]

thank you bro! 👊 lmk if you decide to upgrade, editing on it has been super smooth

[@PaulMaurovich]

Great video as usual. Quality gets better and better. Little tip: I used Hand Mirror too, but Raycast lately added „Open Camera“ command, enabling a preview like Hand mirror. It may be a plugin. One app less :) I love how few apps I need since Raycast and its community plugins. Keep the good work up. 🚀

[@LukeMadeIt]

woooow didnt know that, thanks will be using that 🔥 thats true haha, raycast has so many things packed there its great 👊

[@swayampattanaik1522]

You can't search for system settings in raycast. Like you want to change the sound from stereo to mono, you can't with ray cast.

[@PaulMaurovich]

​@@swayampattanaik1522 Well, that's true and bothers me too - fine grained settings via Raycast are not possible, maybe caused by what macOS allows… But, I've found that you can find the major settings topics in Raycast and e.g. also can change the output source of the sound.

[@yuhjak]

I've been hyped ever since I saw one of your stories saying you were going to upload a video about the new Mac. You can really see the effort you put into your videos. Keep going, bro 💜👊

Damn Warp is dope!! Thanks for the recommendation! When installing Warp, it asked me how I heard of them. I mentioned your KZbin channel. Maybe you can get some kind of sponsorship from them in the future haha.

[@LukeMadeIt]

hahaaaa that would be a cool one for sure thanks! glad you like it 👊

[@KevinOsterkilde]

7:55 Instead of NVM, use ASDF as it supports other tools/languages than just Node which is quite handy.

[@LukeMadeIt]

thats super dope I haven’t heard of it will check it out!

[@BrunoRibeiroComboios]

Nice to see you're back! Just got a base model M4 14-inch Macbook Pro, super excited for it, should arrive at the end of this week. Gonna give Warp a try. Btw, for checking the camera before meetings, I use the native Photo Booth app.

Great video as always, was wondering if you would upgrade from a macbook pro m1 max 14 to a m4 macbook pro ?

[@LukeMadeIt]

funny enough, I have the m1 pro and now the m4 max, will do some comparisons with them in the day in the life vid hopefully that will answer this 🤝 but id assume that its not worth it yet this year because the m1 is POWERFUL as long ss RAM doesnt become an issue

@@LukeMadeIt got 64GB RAM doing software dev and cs studies :D

[@uzairkhan-ex7yk]

after all installations and the projects that you work on, how much storage is left out of the 1 tb you have?

[@LukeMadeIt]

super good question just checked and we have only used 131gb so even 500gigs would have been enough probably haha

[@swayampattanaik1522]

I like my ide light weight. If all the memory is going to get used up by the editor itself, then how am I going to run the projects? I like the features it offers but the fact it takes a lots of space and is memory intense, I still prefer vs code. Even if with tons of extensions you won't ever feel any lag on it

how do you use your Mac with external monitor, I would like to use my make while closed on my desk but when I close my Mac it doesn't work with the external monitor. Do you have a doc or do you need to keep it connected to power? Also how do you quickly switch between your wireless mouse and keyboard between your Mac and PC. sorry its a lot of questions but im making a Mac and pc setup rn. Thanks

[@LukeMadeIt]

you need a thunderbolt so it charged while the lid is down 🫡 I no longer use my PC, but my keyboard and mouse has multiple bluetooth modes, one mode is connected to mac and one is conmected to PC, so its just one click to switch

[@TelewizorTCL-r1k]

I had black but it had a manufacturing defect and I returned it and now I'm wondering about the color, I like the black the best but it's a fingerprint magnet, it's dramatic, and I'm afraid the silver one will reflect too much light from the lamps into my eyes or when I go outside because I have photophobia.
