  • How to pick the best monitor for studying and working from home

    I use 27" WQHD (2560x1440) monitors with USB-C, both in home-office and in the office.
    This is for use with both my private Mac mini and my company Windows Laptop, mixed applications.
    This format seems to be a good compromise of price/performance,
    has a lot of screen space and the convenience of 'one plug' to connect the computers for display / network / power / keyboard.

    Technical hint: LED is actually LCD, with LED backlight. The non-LCD technology is OLED, where each pixel is a tiny color LED

  • Epic Games CEO criticizes Apple's App Store policies in interview

    I use iPad because Apple promised to keep out those apps that crash it, or compromise my privacy, or steal my money, or promote crime, or are 'bad' in other ways.
    I knew that it is not 'open' when I bought the device, and that is ok for me.
    I accept that Apple's business model is a mix of device price and App Store revenues.
    And I understand that this whole concept would collapse if alternate app stores were allowed, because immediately all the business would move to 'cheaper' stores and iPhone/iPadOS would be flooded with bad stuff.
    Yes, I know that a lot of App Store apps is quite bad right now, and I hope Apple will improve their processes. But the current situation is much better than totally 'open gates'.
