I have calluses on my wrists from years of using MacBooks, so the sharp corners are no longer a problem ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m using the iPad Magic Keyboard which is also a stand. So it’s pretty much the same as using a MacBook. I do have the 13 inch. I tried the 11 inch but personally I found that too small to use comfortably like this.

I mainly use my iPad Pro like a MacBook with the Magic Keyboard and a Razer mouse (I can even play ARC Raiders perfectly on it, streamed from the gaming pc in another room; having a completely silent gaming setup in the living room is amazi

Wouldn’t it be great if this finally breaks the Microsoft stranglehold. We could pop open the champagne and toast to liberté égalité and digital sovereignty ;)

My gosh yes please! This is so annoying. Last time I checked it’s impossible to disconnect your email address from Google auth if you used that to sign up. And no way to delete the account and recreate with that email address.

I'm subscribed to the Premium Family plan to get rid of the ads and for the music service, which I think at the current price is a great deal. I just wish they would add more options to the premium plan, like: - add proper filters (e.g

That’s great. Unfortunately I’ve seen SSE fail quite a few times in the scenario I described.

Not entirely sure why it would break…?

True, though when carefully implemented it’s the most reliable option I guess.

Or, if you’re building for clients with a traditional “enterprise” and “secure” IT infrastructure: add refresh buttons and call it a day. If there’s one thing in my experience that consistently fails in these environments and cannot be f

I fondly remember playing Doom with my brother. Our dad had made a serial cable for us. One of us was playing on the PC and the other one on a laptop with a grey scale display and terrible ghosting. We had so much fun and it felt like magi

I remember making fun of Microsoft trying to combine mouse and touch in a single UI. And yet here we are, Apple doing the same thing to macOS, resulting in the same shit desktop/mouse experience that macOS has become. I understand the

There are still many retail investors who think the saga is far from over, and are now betting on direct registration (DRS) of their GME shares with the goal of triggering another, much bigger short squeeze than last year.

I’m lucky enough to still have good eyesight so it’s not limiting for me personally. Most of the time when working I’ve got it hooked up to a big 4K display though. My expectation is I’ll appreciate the new XDR display for the times I’m not

I’m upgrading from an M1 Air (16GB) to a 14” Pro base model just for the display. Extra M1 pro performance is bonus but the M1 has already been amazing for development work past year.

I quickly bought a space gray trackpad just after they discontinued them. Patiently waiting for them to release the space gray compact version of this new keyboard along with the new pro macs ;)

I was wondering about this too and so far haven’t found any reviews addressing this question. The only thing I found was this forum post[0] which implies the old and new magic keyboards feel the same (though the author thinks they feel like

I agree, it’s their business priorities which result in engineering that leads to bad software. What I’m saying is you can choose to not buy into one of those uber-programmable enterprise platforms and instead (let someone) build fast an

Choose 3 and then watch the consultants build the custom software using a low/no code platform. Now you are still in the slow and poor user experience and no customization options and more expensive and worse support ;-) I think

Thank you for the clear and concise explanation. That blog post was incredibly annoying to read and imo utterly fails to address an otherwise interesting point.

Exactly! Very happy with both; VSCode for... code :) and Sublime for everything else. As far as I’m concerned these two are not competitors.

It will probably end with a better balance than right now. I used to enjoy working from home a couple days a week as focus days with minimal interruptions, but doing this all week with a lot happening inside the house at the same time (scho

I feel the same and it has led me to conclude that this is a situation where things have to get (a lot) worse before they can get better, and only through legislation. I've been thinking about how it seems like we're living in the

Thank you, this is really great advice. These kinds of dialogs are always a hassle and are often skipped for that reason.

This is a serious issue with the massive increase in video calls and screen sharing (and people being oblivious to or not caring about this). Not just chat but also email notifications with previews. This has become something I actively co
