Curious how many Mac users go for dual monitors. I added a cheap 1080p 24” to my 27” iMac and really like how it separates out things for me now. (I had tried a couple years ago with a second 27” and didn’t like the workflow as well as I do now.) …

Personally, I have been waiting for a ceramic option to upgrade my ceramic 2nd gen. The ceramic watch has held up so much better than the stainless for the abuse I give it, it doesn’t make sense to go back.

My only usb-c product is the 11” iPad Pro, and it does really make me grumble. Just bought a bunch of micro-to-c adapters to simplify things; the travel charger bag has simply gotten too big. In a few years, I will be happy to buy a usb-c laptop, bu…

Put me in the camp that thinks USB-C is overrated for a device the size of the iPad. I was really pissed when I realized there is no "easy” way to charge or transfer data via USB-A. It forces me to have another set of cables, another charger, and …

If you are a long term investor, there isn't much to really fear-- the stock is trading at a PE of 15, has a yield of 1.5%, and has some huge backstops to its underlying business. I would attribute most most of the drop to general market concern a…

Profit taking. No big deal. I am quite happy to see it in this neighborhood for a few weeks. Fundamentally the company is in great shape and managing growth in absolute terms while reducing share count. Their services and entertainment offerings a…

Biggest differentiator with the eero seems to be subscription cost of the eero. I like the ubnt products, but right now any time you get over ~300Mb uplink it seems to stretch their capabilities. I use mainly the EdgeMax line for routing and a mix…

Does anyone actually have good luck with Buffalo?! Twice they died on me around day 365... For time machine backups specifically, I think it is hard to beat two single drive units that sleep alternating 3-day intervals. Backups do get corrupted, …

Depends on what is important to you. For me, it would be a nail in the coffin for Macs; interoperability is why Macs got beyond the 2% niche level. Design helped, but it would never have happened if you couldn't use the same laptop to run Windows …

I disagree. People need to be fired. Of course, my main complaint is stupid "improvements" like eliminating the FTP and telnet clients. WTF! While the protocols may be stupid, they are still in high use for certain things... eliminating them is me…

I really HATE the current keyboard with numeric keypad; for some annoying reason they eliminated the function key from the bottom right, so you struggle if you have to use Windows to do an alt-f4. Key placement is also awkward, so I find my left ha…

Fusion 8 user-- which is better this round, Parallels or Fusion? Also so reasonably happy with VirtualBox, for the things I want it for.

Root certificate systems are really dangerous. It is a tough one to balance-- focus on unencrypted traffic only, or try to swat at everything, including your online banking.
