Love the scare quotes. "Microsoft Excel" is it? We'll see about that.

Adobe have added an AI-driven super-resolution feature to Camera Raw (Photoshop only atm), where you can up-scale a RAW/DNG image and it's supposedly as good as shooting at that resolution in the first place. Benefits over standard interpolation seem marginal, but anyway... Trying this on a 51MP image (->204MP) on my 2014 MBP took best part of 13min. It's super-GPU intensive and the fans were screaming. Tried the same operation on the same image on my daughter's 2020 M1 MBA. 15 seconds.
And then she spent all day playing Roblox.

Keep your fscking phone in your pocket and just shoot in medium format if you’re so concerned about photo quality ffs

Ok.
My point, if I had one, was just to anecdotally confirm how ridiculously quick the M1 is with Apple Silicon software vs older gen machines (or maybe just how sluggish my old MBP now is). Not really about super-res at all (which might be handy for older pics, I guess).

Yeah. Bug sir seems to be built around the m1s. My intel beast takes forever to restart

oof. the funny thing here is that Mike is probably the first person who'd warn you about upscaling given his job and all, and those weddings he shoots, and his resident photographer gig.

if you're planning to upgrade to Big Sur, upgrade your device drivers first. could only boot in safe mode until I upgraded the software for my audio interface. it was exciting, what with needing to get work done.

i just love how MacOS nags me daily to "install updates," by which it means upgrades (to Bug Sur), which i absolutely do not want. and i love how there's no simple way to stop the notifications.

Um, why can’t I get it to stop autojoining WiFi networks even when I forget them?

I think you have to go in when connected and tell it to not autojoin that network before you forget it.

I'm trying to figure out whether or not I need to do a full or partial erase of my iPhone to deal with what looks like some malware that surfaced overnight
So far it's just put a ton of stuff on the phone's calendar for the next few days - with shit like "your phone may be infected!" Nothing else.
For now I have it on Airplane Mode and turned off while I figure out WTF to do, as it seems like in-person help isn't available until Monday at the soonest

(And I changed several passwords and disconnected a number of things, just in case.)
Update - Apple Support chat bro sorted all this out with me.

So it seems. I'm hoping that's ALL it was.
I gave the Apple support guy a glowing survey response, he was incredibly knowledgeable and patient.
