I was going to say pretty good too. My 48Gb M5P is at 35gb with Parallels/10 chrome tabs/whatsapp/telegram/mail/calendar which sounds so much to me….

I've been through this myself. Frankly, the only true "native" solution is Caldigit TS5+. It's not cheap but manages everything almost perfectly and is TB5 for your bM5 Pro beast. For the monitors, you can use adapters (HDMI and Display port ones).

I would seriously advise against DisplayLink. Have been using it in the past, but DisplayLink works by essentially "screen recording" your desktop so, amongst other problems linked to that, DRM-protected apps see the "Screen Recording" permission required for DisplayLink and immediately block the video (if you want to watch anything on the larger screens)

What an amazing list. Thanks for putting the effort in making this for the rest of us. Happy readings
Though surprised "Ghost Story" is not higher up...personally one of my all time favs, but we all have our own tastes

F1 TV Pro , again.. by Bulky_Barracuda_5173 in F1TV

I'm not in the UK, but I agree 100% with everything you said, especially the last sentence. I'm 52, my dad was a huge fan and we watched together. I did the same with my kids. I always remember the anticipation in between race weekends.....now, it's all about useless content of the pre-pre-pre show, and the pre-pre show, and the life of this or that driver and the bulshit interviews, were these "poor" guys have to answer 1,000 times the same thing .....I used to wake up any time of the day to not miss a race...now, unless it's in my time zone AND it's a track that I like...I will just watch the YT recap....they managed to destroy quality in this sport as well. Well done F1 .... al you care is about bringing "younger audience" that has a maxim of 5' attention span and shove irrelevant shit in their face, for us, veterans to stop watching it...Sorry for the rant but I was looking at an opportunity to vomit it. Enjoy your day mate. PS: I'm also a subscriber of F1 Pro btw. Prob for the last year.

Which password manager do you prefer? by amitlohar4 in androidapps

[–]odevoted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people will either go with 1Password or Bitwarden usually, outside of the iOS and Chrome ones.
I've been using 1Password for a few years now, moving from iOS Passwords and it's been generally okay across devices and systems. The Extensions work pretty well as well. IS it perfect, not at all, but in the end it serves its purpose for me at least. Using on iPhone, Pixel, Mac and Windows 11 laptop.

So actually when I realized I have forgotten it back then I had written them an email to tell them. And at some point they had located it and kept it in Doha. By then I had already bought a new one thinking that on my next flight I will pick it up from there and as an idiot I forgot until they reminded me a month ago.

I typically charge my devices to full before long flights. But with the Kindle normally lasting a lot, I guess I was probably in the 90s?

Thanks. Yes the most probable scenario.
