Music production. And IT in general.

But specifically the music production; started off as “I’ll by FL Studio and muck around with it” to “I need ALL THE VSTs!”. I’ve sunk like $2500 into it in the last two months (which is a hell of a lot of money to me), and I keep buying shit for it.

Am I any good at it? Fuck no. But it’s not stopping me from keeping at it and buying shit I probably don’t need :P

And the IT stuff consists of rack-mount servers and Pi’s. I’ve sunk around $25k into it all over the last 12 years.

B365 build here (2020 build).

• i7 9700
• MSI B365M PRO-VDH
• RX 5700 XT 8GB
• 32GB DDR4 @ 2666MHz (Yeah, it’s slowwww but it does what I need it to)
• 970 EVO Plus 500GB NVMe (boot drive, with TRIM disabled because otherwise it takes 5 minutes to boot)
• 860 QVO 1TB (Bulk Storage for music samples and work files, again with TRIM disabled due to boot times)

I’m going to miss Hackintoshing and (same as you) dual booting when they go full ARM-only. But I’ll probably still rock this build for at least the next 3 years before upgrading to a Mac Studio or a Mac Mini.

macOS on a Hackintosh. It’s stable AF, and I love it. Use it for work and music production. Then I dual boot Windows 10 for games.

Australian here. Yes, I regularly drink water from the tap without boiling it.

The only exception is if Sydney Water issue a “Boil water” alert. That usually only happens after really major flooding though.
