If you already carry a an iPad in your laptop bag, but use Windows or Linux on your laptop, you can use the iPad as an external monitor using: - a cheap HDMI USB capture device ($5 from Temu) - a short HDMI cable to connect that to your laptop's HDMI output - a USB to lightning or USB to type C adapter (depending on your iPad model) - a free app to display the UVC camera input full screen, e.g. https://apps.apple.com…

If you're using a mac you can extend your screen wirelessly to the iPad. I found the image gets compressed a bit but it's still plenty usable for showing a browser during web development.

Yeah I was talking specifically about Windows and Linux, because I figured that people running MacOS would already know about Sidecar.

Note: you refer to 'mac' (the hardware) but Sidecar is tied to MacOS (software). A Mac running Windows or Linux won't support Sidecar. A non-Mac running MacOS (aka hackintosh) probably will.

If you're running old Mac hardware like a MBP 2015, you can install Ventura (and user Sidecar) using OpenCore Legacy Patcher.

Coz you don’t know if it’s a real endorsement.

I get that, was more wondering if it was possible to tell if they were using an affiliate link based on the shortened url.

I treat most shortened links as the maker has some interest with it, wants to track something, earn something, which I find dishonest. Assuming this is an amazon url, the product page is not even a long url.

A similar device is the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i. The next gen model was shown off at CES and is coming out in a few months. That one also has a 180 degree hinge unlike the Asus model which can't be fully flattened. I've seen good reviews about the first gen model and might get the new one if I get a laptop this year. https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/laptops/yoga/yoga-2-in-1-seri...

Somewhat related, I've been eyeing the thinkbook twist (oled+eink screen)[1], but it's unlikely to run Linux I suspect otherwise I'd be all over it.

Potentially a good idea to avoid using Temu - https://apnews.com/article/temu-shein-forced-labor-china-de7...

China is a forced labor camp.

apple captures 60% of profits on its devices while the factory that builds them in China captures only 2%.

now you know why foxconn had suicide nets.

Did you mean "This is gonna be such a big deal when Apple invests in it in 5 years."?

The joke is that something comes along and is in market for a while, but as soon as apple release a version of it everyone acts like it is new and first of a kind and wow aren't apple amazing for this amazing thing! Gee whiz - we've never seen anything like this! Take my money! TAKE MY MONEY!!! So e.g. MP3 players Vs iPod, smartphones Vs iPhone, tablets Vs iPad, ARM CPUs in computers Vs M-series, wireless charging, B…

Except when Apple invents it, they will do it right. It will be a delight to use and will not harvest your personal data, instead of being gimmicky, malware-infested crud. The iPod was a vast improvement over previous MP3 players, just as the iPhone was over previous (and subsequent non-Apple) smartphones. Apple is just built different as a tech company -- they're the only major tech company that's actually built around putting the user first -- and so that's why people go apeshit over their new products, even if a similar product was released before from other vendors.

Laptop of these specs won't last a day in general, and they'll also be power constrained in most running profile when straight on battery (you'll be out of power in a few hours if using the full extent of the GPU) Anyone planning to do 3D work in the wild with no power outlet should invest in a (heavy) 100W power bank. Also reliable 100+W chargers will cost an arm and a leg, same docking stations. It's definitely sti…

You can buy GaN chargers of up to 180W nowadays, they weigh half as much as regular power bricks and are fairly affordable if you need them. You don't even need to cover the peak power usage and can go with a smaller charger covering regular usage and let the battery come to help when momentarily drawing more power (this is what I do with my Zephyrus G14 + 65W Voltme).

I've been looking at charger delivering 130W on a single port (100W won't unlock the full GPU) and they're not that many.

UGreen and Anker's offerings start at 70 bucks and they're not well reviewed. Docking stations start a triple that and Dell seems to be only reputable maker going these lengths.

To complicate things, many chargers will tout 140+ watts, but only split on multiple ports. Single port output will often be capped at 100W.

Just a service announcement: you can get an external monitor that is charged and driven by a single USB-C for about $100 which weighs about a pound. Feels like it would get 90% of what I want out of a setup like this.

You can buy an OLED touchscreen monitor for $100? People that are happy with Frankenstein setups will always find a cheap way to replicate a product while ignoring all the downsides of a home grown replica.

Because you can’t possibly know if it’s genuine? And incentives matter — a non-affiliate link is more likely to be a genuine recommendation.

Yes but spelling it out that it's an affiliate link how does it make a difference?

It lets the reader weigh that information into their assessment rather than blindsiding them.
