Nope there are only three computer models to choose from and that we support. The iPad Pro was added as a 4th option based on a higher admin recommendation (not in IT ). However we are now back to supporting 3 models.

" I don't travel with the MacBook any more, as I can do anything from the iPad. But it's not just me." Interesting, how long have you been iPad Pro only? At the price point of the iPad pro with a keyboard and touch-pad.

I Work IT in a institution with 290 employees and have had 5 switch to iPad Pro's to "replace" their laptop. I am now 5 for 5 with all asking for their laptop back. iPadOS is nothing more than iPhoneOS renamed and the device

Meta's metaverse honestly may be gearing up to be one of the biggest financial tech failures in decades. Still after all these billions poured into the metaverse... still no compelling reason to use. Already they are pitching it as

The driver was to prevent the possible rise of Russia. Had Nordstream 2 been allowed to come online. Russia would have reaped enormous benefits and its influence in Europe would have strengthened. This was clearly not in the US’s geopolit

Watch just immediate downvotes.. or often one liner replies. Essentially anything outside of the narrative = Russian sympathizer. Reminds me of the bit activity around election cycles.

Good Article. No question the events in Ukraine coincide with Nord Streak 2 about to go online. The amount of war time propaganda on the Ukraine conflict has hit overdrive status and I would expect this article to “disappear” quickly. Ther

School IT guy here.. DocuSign made multiple pitches to our district and they all fell flat. Really seemed to be cold call marketing a product … that is not as valuable as they try an protray. We have been digitally signing document and dig

Hmm I like just buying 4k displays with no smart features at all. 65 sceptre works great.. is just a display (does need a sound bar as built in speakers are poor). No need to fight against your device IMO.

Think it was pretty clear it was a US operation now.. No need to wait. Reports are CIA let other countries know about a "possible" attack weeks ago. US sees this conflict dragging out throughout the winter. They cannot afford to

That is really a scary comment I agree. Apparently according to the user using paid private services have replaced email functionality. Side Note: My wife's work went all in on MS Teams. They held multiple trainings and kept showing

Facebook, YouTube and many others are user hostile. They make money by controlling the information you see. Your attention is a commodity they sell. Both of these services... give you what you want from time to time just to keep you on t

Sadly in the US there is not really a privacy debate. Essentially the “I have nothing to hide” line of reasoning has been pressed ahead and the nation continues in the direction of China. We have a bit of a pretend debate from now and then

True but without a solid story and good writing no amount of special effects can make it good. At the end of the day the most important factor is a compelling good story IMO

It is unique in that Google has plenty of money and is not going out of business. In fact it just posted excellent earnings this week. To say this project failed and everyone is just out of luck would really shows what kind of company Alph

Thanks I stand corrected. I see Laws have changed and local municipalities are now able to capture some of this revenue even with out of state vehicle purchases or direct from dealership purchases

So this is my own conspiracy rabbit hole… I get the impression all of these sites that use quick 10-15 second video clips followed by screenshots of a tweet or quote are a dystopian method of controlling human behavior. It seems like a way

The idea of dealerships was to force car companies to spread the wealth. For example if you purchase a car at a local dealer all the sales tax goes to the local taxing body (city / sometimes county). This generates a huge amount of mon

Lol exactly. Really wanted to play Half Life / Alex but not about to give Meta any money … absolutely not going to use a facebook account to use a VR device.

“ For example, right now there are lots of Russians who think it's fine to invade, kill and steal, not for safety, fairness or justice for everyone. They just want better for their tribe.” I think is a way oversimplification of geopoli

Sadly this is a bit naive in my opinion. Hidden behind “privacy” marketing DOH looks to be a way to centralize DNS queries at the app level to protect ad revenue. Now apps you download can essentially have their own DNS resolvers built into

Apple has done this for years and my take is they are tying to increase usage and relevance of Apple Music. For example I only use Spotify in my car but it will not connect correctly unless I download and have Apple Music installed. Just ba

Think we have known this for a while. For example Wellbutrin (Bupropion) works well for many people and it doesn’t work on serotonin levels at all. In fact it causes an increase of dopamine uptake in the brain. Think increasing the dopami
