  • Matt Says Camcorders Were Weird Too

    by

    Matt says that camcorders were weird too and people tensed up when camcorders came out. Now technology has changed enough that a phone coming out to take a video changes little about the behaviour of most people. On some level, I agree. Vision Pro will change lots and people will get used to it. My

  • iPadOS 17 Supports 4k External Cameras?

    by

    According to Patrick yes it does support an external camera in the beta. This is cool, and in some ways I’m also over waiting for the iPad to get so many features it should have had for years.

  • How will your technology provide concrete benefits

    by

    Technology is full of hype. A few years ago crypto currency and the block chain was going to be “world changing”. According to proponents, we’d no longer use the standard currency of our country, we’d all want to be in on some crypto currency because it would be so much better than what our governments

  • Ghosted – I’m here for the comedy

    by

    Ghosted recently came out on Apple TV+ and I watched it because I figured it would be a mindless action movie where the guy needs saving instead of the girl.

  • Open Source Contacts Made My Business Too

    by

    From Heather Burns: After years of dragging my arse to the only mildly tolerable option, an open source community meetup appeared – in the function room of a twee Oirish pub, no less – and what ensued didn’t so much pivot my business but my entire life. And on that evidence, it’s no wonder that

  • ASUS ROG Z13 – Better than the iPadPro?

    by

    Sure the iPadPro may be more powerful than this1 but this runs a full fat operating system. So it can be a tablet, and my full-time computer for all tasks. My iPad still doesn’t do code well. I never checked I’m simply guessing because M1/2 chips are so fast. ↩

    by
