Plugable announces the availability of a new 7-in-one hub with Ethernet and 4K 30Hz capabi...
“fastasleep” thank you! I still haven’t received the laptop (ordered a custom config from Apple) and was misinformed that it doesn’t have a headphone jack. You’ve just saved me a bunch of more wasted time. Now to just figure out which of the hundreds of USB-C hubs out there to get.fastasleep said:
Why do you need one when the laptops all have headphone jacks?Ofer said:
Agreed. I’ve been on the hunt for a good USB-C hub for my new M1 Air, and there are hundreds on Amazon. Hard to tell which one to pick. If you filter them to read the negative reviews almost all of them show cases of the hubs causing damage to the ports on the Mac. Also, I’m finding it really difficult to find a portable USB-C hub that includes a headphone jack. Plenty of larger desktop hubs that include it, but none of the portable ones seem to.jeromec said:There are dozens of similar USB-C hubs on Amazon.How is this news?

Top Mac keyboards to complete your work from home setup
I have the Keychron K3 (got it through their Kickstarter). It’s an awesome low-profile mechanical keyboard. It also looks a lot better in person than the pictures. It looks absolutely horrendous in their photos. The only thing missing is a utility to program the RGB backlighting pattern (which most keyboards with RGB backlighting offer). Other than that, perfect. -
Original Apple TV+ feature 'Palmer' trailer lands on YouTube
TEARS! This looks like a beautiful film. Will definitely be keeping an eye out for it once my Apple TV+ trial starts.

Apple's new M1 graphics work makes resolution shifts instantaneous

that would take more than 6 monitors...Rayz2016 said:
Six monitors?don. said:Wow. I have 6 external displays for work via daisy-chained USB-C docks. Whenever I reboot it will occasionally swap them around putting the top on the bottom and swapping left and right. If you mouse to the screen on the right it ends up on the left. That little display changing flicker is worse than you think. There's also the app resize refresh that takes several seconds to work through before finally the buttons on the arrangement tab adjust. If you try to move a screen arrangement before it's done it will immediately cut off your mouse drag and put the screen right back inducing another round of the flicker. It took me a while to figure out the timing of the refresh and the visual changes to know when it's safe to try a screen move. Before that it was an excruciating exercise in try try try again.From what I've read it seems the current M1 can't handle this setup. Hopefully when the full sized MBPs come out I might be able to flip my screen layout in under 10 seconds it's currently a over a minute with carefully optimized movements and timing. 2019 MBP 32GB i9.What the f**k are you doing?
Video work?
Music?
Mission Control for SpaceX?
Fact-checking Trump’s tweets?
you beat me to it. I was just getting ready to type a similar response.
