Adding a GPU to a Mac, or anything with TB3 really.

Keep in mind it won't work on Apple Silicon Macs though, and I think Intel Macs have limited support for nvidia cards in macOS

Hardwarewise or just macos? What if you want to add the GPU to a windows/linux VM?

To my understanding, it's just a lack of support from both macOS and third-party vendors. There are numerous other reports of successful usage in Bootcamp albeit with some caveats.

Regarding VMs, and this is hardware dependent due to IOMMU groups (and is based on a Linux host), but I also recall cases where this is possible on reddit.com/r/VFIO

Any technical courses do you guys recommend?

I've had good results with ACloudGuru and they have a 50% off sale right now. That is a better deal than they had last year. https://acloudguru.com/

+1 for ACloudGuru. I've been a happy customer of theirs when studying for AWS certs.

Love BetterTouchTool. It's a must-have to customize your Mac, keyboard shortcuts, automate things you do regularly, etc.

Do you have some examples? I see the appeal but aren’t really inspired by the description, could you share how you use it?

I use heavily for keyboard customization. I have all sorts of macros, like moving windows to different parts of the monitor (e.g. left, right, center, top center for video calls), making keyboard navigation more similar across Linux and Mac, launching and positioning apps with a single keystroke, auto-entering common data on a website, and so on.

And there's tons of other use cases (which I don't use), including gestures, controlling gestures, trackpads, MIDI settings, Elgato StreamDeck, and more.

It's not per year, it's a one time purchase with lifetime (well, "lifetime") updates.

From their website: The license is a perpetual license. One license key allows you to use the app indefinitely. You are also eligible for one year of free updates. If you don't want to renew your license after one year, you can continue to use the last version of DevUtils that you have for as long as you want. You can renew your license here with a 40% discount for another year of updates. That means the renew price…

I have become the thing I hoped to destroy. Sorry!

I've gotten two great "deals" this week. The first: I bought "unlimited" worldwide maps from Osmand, which I use a TON for offline maps when I bike. It's $9.99 for unlimited worldwide offline map downloads right now. Great deal if you'd like to move away from Google Maps for navigation (not so great for business search, but it's slowly getting there!) The second: not actually a Black Friday deal, but I recently switc…

Thanks for the tip on the M28U, just bought one here in Europe for a similar price. The KVM feature is a huge bonus.

I'm pretty impressed by the KVM feature -- it's a little weird that you need to use USB A for the second computer's USB hub connection, but I'm pretty happy with it in general.

FYI: even now, monitors aren't necessarily shipping with the latest firmware. They've improved response times significantly since the early firmware, so it's likely worth your while to update the firmware when you get the monitor. Sadly you need a Windows computer to update the firmware -- if you manage to run the updater via Wine, let me know!

Hi,

> the Gigabyte M28U 144hz 4k 28" monitor that I use

How is the brightness when set to minimum? I have an LG that with brightness set to 0 is too bright to use in the evening (compared to my laptop screen, for example, where brightness 0 is very dim, hardly visible, as it should be)

Thanks
