Phew, it seems people are really in a conundrum with Stage Manager, the shiny, weird way to organize your windows in the upcoming releases for your iPad, if powered by a M1, and your Mac. For me, this appears to become a series, because a) Stage Manager is quite serious…

I had this rather brief encounter with iPadOS 16, an M1-powered iPad Pro in this article. A couple of days ago I finally got my own M1 iPad Pro 11" (by selling the 2020 iPad Pro 12,9, I am not that eager to spend that amount of money for something…

Very recently I did an online course, with an exam at the end, to get another certificate. All attendees got a Student Workbook, a strict 9–5 schedule including a 30-minute lunch break, two five-minute breaks, and an instructor who was quite demanding (still a nice guy, though). Then the test…
