Do you remember HD-ready TVs? And later Full HD resolution? In that times, it was something amazing. But time flies, we got 4K resolution, HDR technology, and the main “issue” – much increased bitrate, which is critical to use services like streaming movies via Internet provided by services like Netflix. High data demanding tasks like streaming 60 FPS… Read More »
I write a lot on my iPad Pro, including this review. Software keyboard on 12.9-inch iPad Pro is great, but, as all virtual keyboards, it’s not suitable for long writing, especially when virtual keyboard fills half of screen. Apple offers it own solutions called “Smart Keyboard”. No battery, no pairing, all is done by magnetic Smart Connector present… Read More »
Macs called Mac Pro are desktop workstations for very performance-hungry tasks like editing 4K 60 FPS videos or even virtual reality. Macs Pro were modular machines.

A lot of households with Internet connection are using wi-fi routers. No cables, all wirelessly. Wireless connection is really good choice for laptops, smartphones and tablets, just imagine ethernet cable for your Samsung smartphone. Routers with dual-band networking with ac standard are cheaper and cheaper, you can (theoretically) reach 1300 Mbps, but how will it benefit your Internet… Read More »
More and more households are getting a wireless router to create Local Area Network (LAN) with Internet connectivity. Router is something like door between your home network and worldwide Internet. Internet connection is, of course, not required to create LAN, you can create home network to link computers together without any access to Internet. Sometimes something goes wrong… Read More »
Apple recently updated its high-end iMacs’ hardware to be ready for virtual reality. Some older high-end computers from Apple, like iMac Retina 5K Late 2015 with R9 M395X graphics are capable to run less resource demanding virtual reality too, but one of the most known virtual reality manufacturers, Oculus, said they won’t support VR on Macs till Apple… Read More »
Computers in LAN use SMB protocol to exchange files. On iPad, or on any other iOS device, it may be problem, because there is no built-in way to get access to computers in LAN. But thanks to App Store and great developers, you just need right app. Best apps I found are, for example, Documents by Readdle, iFiles… Read More »
