2 Months with M1 iPad Pro – Did my Usage Change?

For a long time I was using my iPad Pro 12.9″ 2018 as my daily driver computer. I coded on it, I wrote on it, and sometimes wouldn’t turn my laptop on for a week. Then I stopped using it as much for coding work, but let’s take a look at if the M1 iPad…
The Devil’s Curve by Arno Kopecky

As with many books I’ve read recently, this was a hard read. The Devil’s Curve is a well-written book but it’s hard emotionally to see what people do to other people.
