   As a journalist/Santa Cruz resident for 8 years, you would REALLY have to do something wrong to get in trouble here for drug related crimes.

   That's a really loaded question. There's not much new in terms of what a podcast is. At it's core, it's been traditionally radio format with modifications for video. And as a medium, radio/talk-show formats haven&#x

   A base model isn't the best investment, and the only thing that really makes it special is the vega II and afterburner cards which pushes the build to the $11-13k range. That's a lot of money for a rig without a monitor or storage

   What on earth do you do that made you $300,000 and required that kind of hardware? nobody I know outside Hollywood makes that kind of money in media/graphics work.

   I think comms/broadcast degrees often are pointless. But in media, anything web/video and journalism focused was a solid career until very recently. Wages are dropping fast in that field. Social media and phones really took a ch

   I recall reading two years ago several reports which claimed that around 90% of all the plastic in the world's oceans flows there through just 10 rivers. > "The shipping and fishing industries also play a part. In 2018 research

    For that price, it should come with Apple Care, Final Cut Pro X, and Logic Pro X included.

    ha, I'm in the same boat. Spent 8+ years doing engineering for live/post-production television. And the younger they got, the less technical they were.

    I don't see how we're going to be able to produce good, quality, and original content with purpose with these types of pricing models and see media people earn a living wage.

    I don't think you even realize how much of what we do/consume is manufactured overseas. Even a vast majority of seafood caught in the US is shipped to China for processing because we don't have the facilities or manpower to h

    That's always the argument from the business standpoint. How much of their ecosystem is on a foundation of professional Mac users? A majority of the professionals I know won't buy the current touchbar model MacBook Pro. Does that

    I hope we'll see it soon. Based on everything else they've done, I figure it will be $3500+ build though and push into the $5k range.

    Well, they sold out instantly! Good for AMD. I'll be excited if I have the opportunity to build a workstation using a 3900X. That's such a sweet spot for a 12 core to price for media work. Unless someone buys me a Mac Pro, I&#x27

    I'm sure this is a small subset of people/places, but our small local markets seem to be doing very well in recent years. They are moving the opposite direction. I personally like knowing my butchers name and getting sound advice

    I'm seriously considering AMD for my next build. I read they will have TB3 support in 2021 which is a big deal for me, and the Ryzen 9 3900X is a sweet spot of a processor. We currently have the i9-9900K in 2 edit bays and it's b

    They said that about the trash can, and it couldn't do any of the things they marketed it towards. Unless Apple called Michael Bay for his advice and they're trying to render the next bumble bee unfolding from their home studio.

    Pretty stoked about what AMD is doing. Even if these benchmarks are inflated, it's an amazing bang for your buck and you can build some really solid budget machines. The next generation with PCI 4.0 looks extremely promising. I wish t

    This is true, it's a hard comparison / wish because it's actually a different motherboard. But if Apple wants something, they can typically figure out how to get it. Based on my years working in media, there is a much larger
