Full-Time RVing

I have not received a “not responding” message, so the machine is great.

The wireless mouse is in shipping hell and that I’d like as I do not go anywhere here without this laptop.

But, I am using the G-Suite products and I have a learning curve I’m still working on. Mainly the drives. Somethings I can drag and drop, some I can’t. Some have to be on the desktop/drive. Kind of irritating that I can’t just do one thing regardless of where it is saved.

And Google calendar. Anyone know how to invite a group without having to type each name individually? That’s irritating as crap.

The assistant before never even sent calendar invites. I didn’t know who was going to which meetings. Grr. She’s doing other passive aggressive things, but the boss seems to like me and that’s what I care about.

And I’ve had more to drink in the last 5 weeks than I have in the last 5 years. But is a great place to work and I really like the Dean.

What did they give you?

Can’t help on the Google apps stuff, sorry.

MacBook Pro. Smaller screen than I would have really liked a larger screen, but then I’m glad it’s smaller as it is easier to carry.

That’s some serious horsepower - especially if it’s a newer one with an M1 chip (you can check by clicking the Apple logo on the menu bar and going to “About This Mac”). In addition to processing power, the M1 runs cooler/quieter and has excellent battery life.

M1, 16B. The battery does seem to hold up quite well.

Google shared drives do still have some pain points like that. The good news is that it’s always improving, albeit gradually.

That’s the sweet spot. I have the same chip/memory in my Mac Mini, and it rocks.

Not a Mac, but…as someone who travels a lot, I appreciate the smallest laptop I can get. I hate the really large screened ones.

13" screen with high resolution (at least 1440p) uber alles.

my ThinkPad Yoga 370 is 13 inch, and it’s about as big as I ever want to get. I have an Asus ZenBook 3 for my personal PC and it’s even better. I guess some people like a giant screen, but not me.

Not sure I have access to create a group. Which makes no sense to me. I did create a “label” but that does not work on the calendar. I guess I’ll keep working at it. That was easy is Outlook. EASY!

Ahh. Maybe this will help: How can I invite a "contact label" to a calendar event? - Google Calendar Community

I need 5 windows open permanently for work. Doing anything other than answering email on my laptop is nigh-on impossible. Hence my 43” desktop screen.

let’s face it…you have peripheral envy.

Clearly there’s a difference between what one needs at the desk vs. what one can live with on the road. I have four 24" screens at my desk, but use my MacBook Air on the road. If I need an extra screen, I just use Sidecar with my iPad Air.

Is Sidecar as seamless as advertised? I haven’t tried it yet.

It’s as seamless as connecting to an Apple TV via AirPlay. The Sidecar process is identical.

I’ve had issues with the Sidecar display (iPad) freezing but I have an older iPad.

Now it worked. I’ve been trying that for weeks. But, hey, it works now, so it is all good!

If I didn’t have enough incentive to stay off Twitter before, they just agreed to Elon Musk’s purchase offer.
