In this podcast, Jon Westfall and I discuss
- Retiree digital work area: Lessons learned so far
$160 mini-PC
Only has
USB Type A port
One HDMI & one VGA
Bought an $18 3-way HDMI switcher (shipped, not delivered)
Could this have been solved by spending more than $80 for the LCD monitor? Probably yes. However, it would probably cost more than $80+$18. And, it might not have 3 HDMI ports
USB-C hub to HDMI
Macbook works without power to the USB-C hub
Chromebook needs to have powered USB-C hub (same hub used for both tests)
Mini-trackball built into a wired keyboard is not a good user experience - New iPad models released
Always amused/annoyed by tech reviews who only see incremental changes from year to year
Many of us do NOT upgrade every year/model. I’m moving from a ARM Bionic processor to an M2, bypassing the M1. This is a huge jump for me.
IPad Pro M2 features no-show
Qi/wireless charging on screen for Apple Watch, AirPods Pro
MagSafe charging
Apple Pencil 3 – me: thank goodness
However, there is a new Pencil Hover feature only on M2 based iPad Pros. Detect Pencil up to 12mm above the display surface
Giant iPad – 14 or 15 inch display - Just a rumor. But…
MacWorld: MacOS14 may run on the M2 iPad Pro
“Simplified” MacOS with, presumably, touchscreen support
Do you really want MacOS on an iPad?
Would be nice if I could run the MacOS apps I use to record and process podcasts
Is Stage Manager in iPadOS16 “good enough”?
Is the USB-C external display support in iPadOS16 good enough?
