For me a VM set up via UTM works quite well on my Mac. Just make sure you do not virtualize x86, that kills both performance and battery life. This way I get the nice battery life and performance in a small packge but am not limited by MacOs for my development.

You can certainly use AI to tick boxes.

Need a caption on an image or video? AI will generte it for you! But the quality is a different question. Is the caption correct? Is the caption usefull? In my test with images it was roughly 60/40 on the correctness.

On the other hand. If you force a company to provide those captions. They might use the cheapest provider. If they do a better job is anyones guess.

There is an announcement for a convertible 12“ Framework Laptop. Sadly only a signup so far without details above the YouTube video.

Does anyone have more information?

Seems like an advert for their Product SPR: Secure Programmable Routers. I don't know their system, so don't see the rest of my comment as a critique.

If your systems supports VLAN tagging per SSID there is an option to make the single Router setup more secure. This will most likely only apply to companies and home labs. For example at my company we have Zyxel gear were we can tag WLAN connections with a VLAN based on the SSID.

Beware, simplified description ahead. We have a Guest SSID. All connections from this SSID get tagged with a dedicated VLAN on the Access Points. The traffic is then routed to our Firewall and from there to the internet. All switches in between use the VLAN to prevent Guest connections from reaching any other devices on the LAN.

My best Markdown experience so far on iPad is with Working Copy. It is primarily a Git client.

The preview mode handles pictures well, but for editing you are stuck with a basic code editor. Using the preview mode I can even navigate to other notes in the same repository via links in the notes.

Might not work for your use case. If it sounds interesting, give it a try.

For some time I used a Samsung Galaxy Book 12 (similar computer to a surface tablet computer).

For my use cases it was definitely the wrong choice. The tablet is quite heavy, so use as a tablet was very limited for me and due to the keyboard design it is also bad as a notebook.

I think the integrated stand of the Surface would at least allow you better use as a drawing tablet when you detach the keybord.

My sweet spot is a decent Notebook plus an iPad Mini for Notetaking (Goodnotes) and drawing.

Have you looked into "simple" drawing tablets. For example, from Wacoom?

If you are looking for a tablet in addition to your computer I would also recommend the iPad.

Out of curiosity, what did you switch to?

The service might not cost money to try. When you want to properly evaluate this tool for your team though, there will be quite a bit of time invest.

I think what OP meant is:

Wage = $/h

Earning = Wage * h(worked)

I guess by breaking them up, regulating and taxing them becomes easier, because the parts don't have the same power?
