Chip shortage, manufacturing disruptions and inflation.
I’ve been looking at the the delivery times of computers – I was shocked at how much the chip shortage has really hit the sector. For example, if you jump to Apple and check out their shipment dates then for the MacBook Pro has a 7-9 week lead time, a build to order (BTO) iMac…

My move to Mastodon and future of Twitter.
I’ve finally motivated myself to setup a Mastodon account – I’m keeping my Twitter account but I wouldn’t be surprised that when Twitter is officially owned by Elon Musk that it’ll open the flood gates to the less than salubrious characters coming back to the platform in the name of ‘freedom of speech’. You’re probably…

Getting the scooter sorted and 4 days of chilling out.
Well, I’ve enjoyed my 4 days off (two day weekend plus two days annual leave) – being able to catch up with rest, relaxation and being able to disconnect from work to allow the brain not to worry about what is happening in the world. I took my scooter to the local motorcycle store to…

Microsoft advances forward and a reminder that not every product is designed specifically for you in mind.
I’ve been reading through the various projects that Microsoft has on the go such as .NET MAUI is the .NET Multi-platform App UI, Windows App SDK and many more. It is amazing how in a space of 22 years Microsoft has gone from ‘protest Windows dominance at all cost’ to now ‘we’re not going to…

Apple TV+, the future of Apple Silicon and benchmarks.
Another busy week has come and gone. Last night I got into the Apple TV series called ‘Severance’ – did a bit of a binge last night and watched the whole of the first season. It is one of those shows you really need to have your full attention when watching it because otherwise you’ll…

AMD vs Ryzen vs Apple Silicon, and WWDC.
I was watching a benchmark video last night which compared an Intel Core i7-12700H to an Apple M1 Pro: I think what it goes to show is that for most people when it comes to performance the idea of putting a device under constant strain don’t really resemble how most people use their computer. Most people…

Giving Safari 15.4 a second chance.
Back to using Safari 15.4 because a new version of AdGuard Safari Extension has been launched, version 1.11.3, which has improved the ad block experience immensely when one considers the changes that were made with Safari recently such as the increase to the number of rules up to 150,000 not to mention all the improvements…

Chrome 100 and WWDC rumours.
Chrome 100 was released today – many bug fixes and security fixes so best to get updated to the latest version as soon as possible. So far on my MacBook Pro it has been going well – no strange memory leaks, the uBlock Origin extension is running well, no website compatibility issues etc. so I’m…

Laptop keyboard, Australian election and hypocritical self righteous indignation.
Another week has come and gone – getting closer to the couple of weeks off I’ll have in June but so far the weeks are speeding up with time feeling as though it is flying at lightening speed. I’m still deciding whether I should wait until June to take my laptop in to get the…

Windows 11, vaccine boosters and manifest V3.
Sigh, I really need to get my act together because almost every week I’ve said to myself, “this week will be the day I take my laptop in to get the keyboard replaced” but each week the weekend goes so fast and then I find I’m back in the office working again. At this rate…
