Which apps am I using? AKA using the apps you’ve already paid for
Managing a budget but being into apps is proving a little more difficult these days. With more and more apps switching to subscriptions I’m torn on what to use. I looked back at my entire purchase history on iOS and whittled the apps I will use down into two categories What have I already paidContinue reading “Which apps am I using?

My trust issues with Apple Reminders
I’m sure I’ll get blasted for continuing to beat this dead horse but I was actually enjoying using Reminders then this happened. It’s showing that I have 4 items due today (I actually have 1) but the 3 it’s picked up are nothing. As you can see in the second image it’s showing 3 blankContinue reading “My trust issues with Apple Reminders”
Help plant trees with your web searches
Source: Ecosia iOS 14.3 brings a new search default in Ecosia, which I completely missed existed. It seems a great idea and I’m always looking at ways at being more environmentally responsible. I’ve switched to DuckDuckGo but I’ll be moving over to Ecosia going forward.
Can you run macOS Big Sur on the 12” MacBook?
So I updated to Big Sur on the 8GB 2016 12″ MacBook to test the final public release performance and whilst it does run a bit faster than the beta I’d not recommend it. It looks fantastic but there is a lot of lag in the experience on this little machine and I’ll be revertingContinue reading “Can you run macOS Big Sur on the 12” MacBook?”
iPhone 12 Mini and Pro Max launch day
The last of the iPhone models are officially starting to arrive with people and I’m very curious to keep a close eye on the Mini. I want it to do well this year so that it continues to sell well and we get the model made next year. Until I sort out a job I’mContinue reading “iPhone 12 Mini and Pro Max launch day”
What’s new in Big Sur?
Source: Apple Big Sur launches to the public today, here’s the Apple page on what’s new. Personally I’d hold off for the next patch before installing and if you have 8GB RAM I’d carefully consider giving it a miss for now. I’m testing it again on a 12″ MacBook and it’s not that great inContinue reading “What’s new in Big Sur?”
The importance of scheduling your day when you’re out of work
I’ve been out of work now for just over a week and one thing I’m finding hard is losing that schedule of a 9 to 5 job, especially if you had client contact and lots of meetings like I did. I had a hybrid role, somewhere between Technical Consultant and Solutions Architect and was alwaysContinue reading “The importance of scheduling your day when you’re out of work”
Getting work done on an iPad Pro
Source: Birchtree Another great video from Matt Birchler, this time he goes through how he uses his iPad Pro to get work done. It’s gotten me to install Things again, especially because of the widget possibilities the app offers. I would do something similar once I’m setup but my video making chops aren’t great, maybeContinue reading “Getting work done on an iPad Pro”
Making sense of the Apple M1
Source: AnandTech It’s hard wrapping my head around what the M1 means for the Mac. There’s not much to compare it to and it’s still unclear how much RAM you’ll need on a machine. AnandTech have done a good job here by looking at the A14 and speculating.
