cloudengineer94··on ToDesktop – Web app to desktop app in minutes
I'd rather have a pure web app than a janky desktop app made with Electron or some other tech that eats my RAM.
cloudengineer94··on Jim Keller and his pioneering work on chip design and architecture
The man is a legend! He made an amazing go work across Apple, AMD and recently at Intel.
cloudengineer94··on Ask HN: What lesser-known accessories do you use with your computer?
Poly Headset for video conferences! Quite happy with them. I also use my iPhone as the camera for my setup.
cloudengineer94··on SAP to Layoff 3000
Yeah but they did hire in excess between 2020-2022.
cloudengineer94··on MacBook Pro featuring M2 Pro and M2 Max
The M1 and M1 Pro chips are absolutely insane. Been using them ever since day 1 and for me there is no way to go back to using Arch Linux natively unless Qualcomm or someone else starts making some good ARM chips.
cloudengineer94··on My next Mac might be the last
Apple Silicon is amazing, but the new Software Updates ever since 2020 have been going down hill.

I like boring macOS versions, where we just fix bugs and don't put new unnecessary features that nobody wants.

Have you tried using Stage Manager? It's a joke. Why would I want to hide my apps that are on the side of each of other to give highlight to one of them?

Do you guys even do some serious work where you need a terminal and a document guide by the side?

cloudengineer94··on TSMC to begin 3nm chip production next month
Can't wait to see a M2 Pro with 3nm. Looking forward to get 12-15h battery life on a 14" MBP.
cloudengineer94··on When will Apple ship other M2 Macs?
I'm interested in the iMac with 24GB of RAM tbh!
cloudengineer94··on Remote work is killing big offices. Cities must change to survive
Well personally for me, since I went full remote I went down to the south of Spain and bought a house.

Not planning to go back to a major city unless remote work takes a full shift back to office.

cloudengineer94··on Apple unveils all-new MacBook Air, supercharged by the new M2 chip
Main reason I went from the 16" Intel to the M1 Pro, dual displays is a must for me when I'm docked at home.
cloudengineer94··on Apple Unveils M2
Still only supports one display. Also they increased the prices across the board..

Quite happy with my M1 Pro, a beat and a hell of a purchase.

cloudengineer94··on StarBook 14-inch
Looks like the EU version of Framework! Funny enough they do give a Ryzen option which is pretty cool.

Would love to go back to a PC running Linux but for the time being macOS + Brew on MacBook Air/14" is the way to go due to the battery life and performance.

Oh and my 14" as a heck of a screen.

cloudengineer94··on KeePassXC – Cross-Platform Password Manager
Been using KeePassXC and syncing on iCloud / OneDrive and has been working quite well.

Using the Apple Silicon version on the MBP14" works great!

cloudengineer94··on Ask HN: How do you manage your companies knowledge base?
If more than one person asks me the same thing, then it's because I need to document it :-)
cloudengineer94··on Ask HN: Who's getting pulled back into the office?
Here in Europe it's starting to happen already. These companies that are forcing 80% office or anything below are starting to loose talent.

We are a cloud shop 100% remote and I can say we have been hiring some really good talent at the major companies just because of this.

Some people even accept a full pay cut for this.

cloudengineer94··on How to pick a good monitor for software development
I'm currently using 3:2 displays by Huawei, they are named Huawei Mateview and feature a 4K panel from the Surface Studio.

These are quite amazing to be honest and there's ton of vertical space for both VS Code and Terminals.

cloudengineer94··on Shenanigans on Microsoft Feedback Hub
I'm really really tired of the Windows issue with their Xbox aka Game Pass App and Microsoft Teams.

I can't wait for the day I'll never have to use a Microsoft service again in my life

cloudengineer94··on Databases in 2021: A Year in Review
Postgress is amazing, however I work with SAP HANA every day and I gotta say this thing is completely insane.
cloudengineer94··on Apple Products 2021: 'Meh' 3 of 2021
From a LG and Samsung user completely agree.

Plus Dolby Vision and 4K actually works in my Disney+.. Since in my PS5 and Samsung QLED doesn’t for some reason

cloudengineer94··on Apple said to be preparing for iPhones without SIM card slot in 2022
I love eSIMs I have my main card on it but I rely on a physical card for the company since they aren't issuing eSIMS just yet.

If this happens though, all carriers will be forced their hand. Sometimes it's the only chance

cloudengineer94··on Apple to Apple Comparison: M1 Max vs. Intel
Coming from an Intel Macbook user to migrated to the M1 Air and then eventually to the M1 Pro I have to say the current Apple Silicon Macs are excellent for productivity and casual use.

But for anyone interested in gaming you either get a console or need another gaming rig.

cloudengineer94··on Ask HN: How to Retire ASAP?
Save, Save and Save!
cloudengineer94··on Now DuckDuckGo is building its own desktop browser
Can't wait to see what they offer I have been using Safari and Brave for quite some time now.

For work I use strictly Edge as it keeps everything from o365 together.

cloudengineer94··on Microsoft Teams: 1 feature, 4 vulnerabilities
Sadly misses important features like background blur and more on the MacOS browser..
cloudengineer94··on Microsoft Teams: 1 feature, 4 vulnerabilities
There's a lot of missing features like those mentioned above, is the reply option with a quote already working in Linux? Been using MacOS since the MBP14" came out and haven't booted by PopOS desktop since I'm not at home
cloudengineer94··on mRNA-based Covid-19 vaccine boosters induce immunity against Omicron
Here in Europe we already going with preventative measures however if the vaccines have a drop off it's normal to be going for boosters moving forward at least for folks with age 50 and above.
cloudengineer94··on Microsoft Teams: 1 feature, 4 vulnerabilities
When I used to have my i9 16" MBP, the thing would go crazy and hit 90% CPU usage during web calls on Teams.

I had to force myself to have it in clamshell mode to avoid crazy stuff going on.

cloudengineer94··on Apple M2 May Release in Fall 2022 as Part of 18-Month Mac Update Cycle
I'm quite happy with my MBP14" with the M1 Pro full die. At this point I'm just hoping Apple fixes their macOS Monterey Memory Leaks and the developers of certain Electron apps play catch up with the rest of the industry.

Regarding hardware I'm happy where they going and they brought back the ports everyone wanted, just hoping next time we get HDMI 2.1 and some external displays.

cloudengineer94··on Microsoft Teams: 1 feature, 4 vulnerabilities
Their SOC Team for consumer/prosumer oriented apps is terrible. I knew someone working there that left to join the Azure team within the company so go figure...
cloudengineer94··on Microsoft Teams: 1 feature, 4 vulnerabilities
I know right? Plus MS Teams is the among the most used apps in the enterprise world how come the only good version of it is only available in Windows 11 where most workplaces aren't even pushing it to their users.

The way Microsoft handles Teams annoys the crap out of me the MacOS and Linux versions are left to die basically.
