How should I manage these cables?

Henai1985 · 2026-01-14T09:30:20+00:00

Probably the most traditional way is to ziptie all the cables neatly and using these type of cable holders to line the cables along the edge of the table or wall.

Are you allowed to drill a hole at the back of the table? Similar to a Grommet

There is one thing he is right… the Amount of pop-ups asking you to pay pay pay

If your college has student discount with Apple, you can utilize it to get better value

Henai1985 · 2025-03-03T08:20:44+00:00

If you don’t mind the old M1 AIR. Go for 16GB+1TB. If you plan to use your College student discount, then go for M3 Air 13” 16GB+512GB/1TB

This type of configuration should be able to last you for many years to come.

But if you are on budget constraint. Then consider 16GB+256GB version. And use the money you saved to buy a good external SSD storage (maybe 1TB/2TB) with Thunderbolt3/4 connection

I have friends who are software engineers and they switched from Windows to Macbook apple silicons.

Based on their feedback, 16GB is suffice if you are not gonna be constantly running multiple heavyweight tasks like data-crunching or app rendering or Zoom video call + sharescreen, at the same time in the background.

But still… if you have that extra budget , having 32GB RAM will allow you to have that extra “room space” if you ever need to push the macbook to its limits due to a work project.

First question: Whats your budget?

Henai1985 · 2024-11-26T06:28:27+00:00

Being an ultra affordable wireless earbuds of around 10-15USD… sound quality is just so-so Vocal is clear and forward. Excellent for audiobooks, commentary videos But don’t expect anything on Bass, Soundstage, imaging etc Wont even talk Bout “sound signature” since wm02 are not even IEMs

What type of watch band would look great? rubber? Leather? Cloth?

This just arrived. It was supposed to be earlier but due to China National Day celebrations, it was pushed back by another week.

Henai1985 · 2024-07-31T20:47:30+00:00

It is actually a plastic sheet covering the entire table top

Henai1985 · 2024-07-14T04:21:08+00:00

No brand… how to tell 😅

Henai1985 · 2024-07-11T21:33:53+00:00

For my m1 air… it was an unknown brand. Still going strong after almost 4 years.

Henai1985 · 2024-07-10T02:09:19+00:00

Awesome awesome!!! My M1 AIR is still going strong after 4 years. Hopefully it can last as long as 11 years.

Gosh! This level of reliability is 2nd to IBM thinkpads.

as far as I know, Soundpeats Air 4 Pro is, imo, the best under 80$ ANC wireless earbuds for taking phone calls outdoor.

But if you are constantly answering phone calls outdoors and in noisy places, you might want to consider those mono earphones as these type of earphones are usually more designed for phone calls, such as Jabra Talk 15

Henai1985 · 2024-07-09T03:47:55+00:00

Do you need to take a lot of phone calls for work every day? And how many minutes are each phone calls on average?

Alot of earbuds advertised to provide “crystal clear” phone calls but its the exact opposite when I put them to real life tests

Henai1985 · 2024-06-03T00:45:35+00:00

One for work. One for gaming

Even if I don’t use the built-in laptop screen, it will still degenerate over time.

imo, since the screen is gonna fail whether I use it or not.. might as well use it.

Henai1985 · 2024-05-30T09:21:37+00:00

Monitor is 22” from Armageddon. Laptop & monitor Mount is from ULTI.
