  • Elgato Stream Deck review: A Mac accessory you didn't realize you need

    HapHap
    I have 5 StreamDecks. 2 x 15 button, 3 x 32 button. 2 are on my MacPro, 3 are on my Windows gaming system (for flight simulator controls).

    I use the heck out of the one on my Mac. Why? Mostly because I use MailTags in mail and probably have 70-80 keywords. Instead of having to use a menu or memorize hundreds of key commands, I have an entire StreamDeck profile for Mail with multiple levels. So I have a button for each mail tag. Since you can have a profile per app (and have it auto switch to that profile when that app is the foreground, and you can have layers of folders in profiles. There really is no practical limit to the number of buttons you can have. I have a key for switching to a raw message source of an email, copying it and pasting it into another app (retain receipts). 

    I have integrated my stream decks with my Home Automation software (Indigo) so I can open a garage door while sitting at my Mac by pushing a single button. No need to open an app, no need to argue with Siri what I meant.

    Note it is actually a single display under the buttons. The buttons are just clear plastic.

    Not really... People would have been running these apps under Rosetta anyhow, so by having the NodeJS engine (V8) native will likely improve performance. 
    I couldn't get Discord to run under Rosetta - just a completely blank Window. So I used iMazing to get the .ipa file from my iPad and copied it over to my MBA. Works well enough (the iPad version is not visible on the Mac Store on an M1 computer).

    No 10 GbE option, 1 GbE is standard. I think a 10 got left off the article?

  • How Apple Silicon on a M1 Mac changes monitor support and what you can connect

    HapHap
    To be clear. The ports are still USB3/TB3. They are not USB 4.

    USB 4 would mean USB data rates of 40Gbps regardless of TB support. That is not the case for these ports.

    According to Apple, the ports support this:
    • Thunderbolt 3 (up to 40Gb/s)
    • USB 3.1 Gen 2 (up to 10Gb/s)

    Yes, they have TB3, but USB4 does not require TB to operate at those speeds.
