    Office chair recommendation?

    I’ve had Secret Labs (Titan) chairs previously, but now using a Boulies, quality seems great and comfort is fantastic. Boulies Master Series, just under £300 https://boulies.co.uk/products/master-series

    Fibre extension cable

    Indeed, I’ve extended my single-mode fiber run here at home, just a LC/SC coupler and job done. Either that or get the Fujikura splicer out :LOL:

    All things related to Apple phones & tablets

    Well, I finally upgraded from my 11 Pro to the 15 Pro. Love the automatic portrait mode capability and LIDAR, action button is pretty convenient (I use it for song detection), and the Always-On Display is a love/hate thing. Main benefit is battery-life and no marks in my photos anymore :LOL:

    All things related to Apple phones & tablets

    The next Apple Watch is supposedly the first drastic redesign, much like how the iPhone X set the bar going forwards from the traditional touch-ID phones. Series 8/9 or even an SE2 would definitely fit the bill. My SE is a few years old now but usually lasts from 7am to around 11pm/1am, with 3...

    They’re not great tbh, certainly poor in comparison to some others. Garmins have extraordinary battery life :oops: :$

    What is your experience regarding updates by APPLE?

    “Windows App” will resolve this for you and finally bring RemoteApp to consumers on all devices. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-app/overview And I don’t think it’s necessarily Windows that’s getting like MacOS, both OS’s are borrowing aspects from each other and effectively meeting...

    What is your experience regarding updates by APPLE?

    But they can be really expensive when they go wrong due to fundamentally bad design (yes butterfly keyboard I’m looking at you!!) Apple effectively asked me to part with £600 for a keyboard replacement, with absolutely no guarantee that it wouldn’t happen again. I have both both macs and...

    All things related to Apple phones & tablets

    Just get a MagSafe wireless charger, I rarely ever use the port now, apart from the car charger. Plus it means you can use standby mode which is actually useful. MagSafe twin charger for my phone and watch cost me about £30, and also charges my AirPods if needed. I tend to use my MacBook...

    Is this the start of Skynet?

    Well if Elon is going it’s gonna be a s***storm of toxicity, buzzwords and bs timeframes as per normal :p

    Well that lasted long! - MacBook Air screen failure

    Update! The MacBook turned up the following day and was left on my porch for 7 hours, which wasn't great but I assume that UPS had that option on file for me irrespective of the value of the item. Unfortunately the MacBook did not boot, and reinstallation of MacOS did not resolve the issue. In...

    Well that lasted long! - MacBook Air screen failure

    Apple are on the case, and I’ve just had tracking details for a delivery tomorrow so I’m hoping UPS recollected my MacBook and it’s heading my way, fingers-crossed!
