Tech, devices & gizmos

Had the AirFly Pro 2 bluetooth adapter for about a month now, great device. It can remember my AirPods every time, auto connects to them when you power it on. Not exactly cheap but the best I've found. Saved a huge chunk of change buying from amazon instead of Twelve South directly.

Deciding between two tablets, both from Samsung - S10 Ultra vs S11.

Normally I want an S10+ with its 12.4" screen, however it isn't available in the used market here. And as for the S10U vs S11, it's 14.6" vs 11". Quite a difference.

I'd be using it for photo post-processing, media consumption, light social media as well as a 2nd screen to my laptop, as I don't really have space for a static monitor. Maybe even some work, especially if it can be done via a browser only.

The smaller S11 is perfect for hand-held usage, but the S10U is absurdly large; as a 2nd laptop screen, the Ultra has a huge advantage. The prices (when you consider the difference in onboard storage - 128 vs 512 GB) are almost close, and I had already budgeted for the purchase.

So now it's just deciding...

Bought the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra. As already noted, it's quite a large and heavy tablet for single-handed usage. That said, the screen is very very lovely and it is in general a joy to use.

Using it wirelessly as a 2nd screen to my laptop introduces some lag (and a performance hit); would be better to use it wired, but I probably need an adapter. I could also use a small keyboard for it at times, but holding off on the purchase just yet.

Overall, shit I didn't need.

I am glad I am not the only one who feels this way. The new Ferrari looks fucking awful.

Have had my new Bose headphones for a few days, really impressed with the audio quality and very soft on my ears.

£50 off on a sale too

Also, avoiding the police too and jumping over traffic jams and using it for emergencies as well.

Well, there are some skeptics they brought in topics I would not have thought about.

Oh I’m sure there are, I used to follow a science channel by a guy called Phil mason a while back who since does nothing but musk derangement syndrome clickbait.. rather embarrassing.

Succes always brings envy/hate along, especially if said succes doesn’t politically align.

I think nobody can deny however, despite bogus concepts like hyperloop, that Musks products and business are immensely successful and cool.

Even if the thing turns out to (obviously) not do that in a commercial product, it’s still a damn nice car
