Just picked up a MX Master 3S recently. Big thing I love is that you can use it on up to 3 devices, so I can have it on my MacBook for work and then click to setting 2 and switch to the usb dongle on my gaming PC - no need for extra mice&#x

for me having a separate Anker usb charging block (5 port, 40W) is great to minimize the things connected to my work macbook (mouse charger, airpods charger, wireless charging pad …etc) and a good laptop/mouse mat (Razer Gigantus) has

Really enjoyable read. I'm in a software mentoring role now and definitely going to share this with new devs - always important to recognize just how much you don't know and being too rigid in your thinking can really hinder thing

Also in Canada. We ordered a new Rav4 back in early October and just got word that it's 'scheduled' to arrive in the middle of April. When we first placed the order it was thought that we'd have it by Christmas/New

As many have said it really depends. But for a smallish development company (under 50) there's really nothing quite like organic growth - which generally means word of mouth and/or friends (or friends-of-friends) and former collea

Love this question - been through a few iterations. For context I'm an amateur photographer (portrait) so I have a lot of RAW files that I tend to keep (almost 3TB now since 2010) from my various Nikon cameras (D90 and D7100 - not amaz

I worked here for 6 years (didn't get in on any of this stock unfortunately). Still awesome to see a local Newfoundland/Canadian company do so well and be recognized like this. This is going to have a huge impact on our local econ

Wow, some really great entries and winners. The macro world is so interesting. The little I've dabbled has always resulted in some new discovery of a part of a flower or insect that you'd never notice otherwise. I've never go

Wow, amazing project. Alway interesting to see what people can do with some technical skill and wood working capability. Really beautiful way to honour the memory of his wife - cancer is terrible.

Wow, great site. Really nicely laid out content and images. Being a photographer I'm going to give that Lightroom PC article a read (6 year old i7 isn't holding up that well)

I used to work at Verafin (no current affiliation) but a pretty amazing funding round by a company in Newfoundland, Canada (population ~500k). Other news posts related to the financing - https://business.financialpost.com/pm
