  • We have a cheap and reliable black and white laser printer at home for convenient printing of stuff like return labels.

    On the rare occasion colour of photo prints are needed, there’s a great little independent print and photo place in town that does prints for pennies.

    Seems to be the best of both worlds.



















  • The Panasonic Toughbook has always been the go-to line for rugged laptops.

    You may not need such a ruggedised device for workshop use though. I use an older ThinkPad as a secondary laptop for grubbier jobs and environments. It’s taken a real beating and still works fine, and has survived having all sorts spilled and sprinkled over it, hoovers clean with no issues. Easy to service and replace parts too when necessary.

    Linux compatibility is also great, which might be more challenging for some of the exotic or specialist portable computer options out there.





  • In terms of privacy in public, the Vision Pro isn’t much different from Google Glass. Both have video recording capabilities, and both displayed some form of indication when recording.

    The only real difference is that the Vision Pro is easier to spot in public due to the bulkier design.

    It will be interesting to see if there will be similar “Glasshole” reaction to the Vision Pro once they are seen in public enough.
