MacBook Pro 16" - issues
Friday, December 13, 2019 at 8:04 PM UTC
I am not happy. This machine as a stand-alone is great but has it's issues when connected to a lot of peripherals like external monitors and a bunch of USB devices.
Today I tried the second dock to get working but failed again. This dock was promising as natively two 4k displays could be connected. I only have two 1080p displays right now but even with those it was a pain.

The 16" MacBook Pro - a game changer?
Wednesday, December 11, 2019 at 7:43 PM UTC
After almost 5 years with We4IT it was time to renew my daily driver. I used to use a Lenovo Thinkpad T540p with 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD. This machine still is quite good.

Für den Preis (42 EUR) ANC zu erhalten ist schon eine Ansage gewesen. Ich habe bereits die Mpow& [...]
Where am I? Using GPS data in Notes apps
Sunday, October 27, 2019 at 12:09 PM UTC
With the latest beta of HCL Nomad and the beta 2 of Notes/Domino 11 you are now able to use GPS functions in your Notes apps. This might be interesting for apps that users will use exclusively on their mobile devices to track where they were when the document was created. I think of all kinds of service apps that document e.g. damages on vehicles or track the location of parts during a process. Th [...]
