Time for a new iPad
After 8 years it became time to replace my iPad Pro 10,5 from 2017. This iPad actually still works almost flawlessly and the only piece of hardware that is showing its age is the battery. The battery drain is quite big requiring frequent charging. But it is not dramatic, I can get by on a…

Catalina
I am way behind the curve when it comes to updating my Mac OS. One reason is some bad prior experience with peripherals no longer being supported after upgrading. Sometimes it looks like people at Canon believe that 1 year is an acceptable life span for a printer. I have to say that the last…
