On 10 November 2020, Apple announced three new product updates for the MacBook Air, the MacBook Pro, and the Mac Mini. The Mac mini is a desktop Apple computer without a screen, keyboard and mouse. So let’s talk about laptops. Here are the three things I know about the new MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, that will help me decide whether I should get one as a YouTube vlogger. Thing #1 – The M1 Processor The two new MacBooks are now powered by Apple’s processor or CPU.  They call it the M1 which is more than just a CPU but also includes the GPU and the RAM.  Currently, there is only one processor, so I don’t have to worry about choosing Intel i7 or i5.  Thing #2 – The MacOS Big Sur The MacBook can now wake up instantly from sleep just like our iPhones and iPads…which I don’t understand because that’s how my MacBook Pro 2013 works. With the new M1 processor and the new Mac OS Big Sur, the MacBook can now run apps from iPhone and iPad. Yay, I can now play PUBG mobil...

There are 3 problems with the new iPhone 12 and yet we choose to ignore it. 1. There is no charger – We can’t use our existing charger and have to purchase a new one from Apple. 2. There is no headset – The headset is an essential part of a mobile device, yet we have to purchase it separately. 3. The 12-megapixel camera – While other brands are advancing in the camera sensor technology, iPhone remained in old 12-megapixel resolution. With that said, I still want the iPhone 12 for the reasons I mentioned in this video… https://youtu.be/CbgPzxi0XSU I may be one of them who is going to choose to ignore the above issues. Are you thinking of getting the iPhone 12? Yes or no? Why? What is that one reason? – Adrian’s Journal from Adrian Video Image https://ift.tt/3olYUiC via IFTTT

  “The Samsung Galaxy S21 series could arrive sooner than expected… Korean publication TheElec claims that the production of the Galaxy S21 series will begin in mid-December. In comparison, production of the Galaxy S20 series began in January with sales starting in March. Hence, The Elec expects the Galaxy S21 series to be launched a month earlier than its predecessor. This means we could be looking at retail availability of the Galaxy S21 series in February 2021.” –  https://www.hardwarezone.com.sg/tech-news-samsung-said-unveil-galaxy-s21-series-month-earlier-expected https://adrianvideoimage.blogspot.com/2020/10/samsung-galaxy-s21-release-date.html I am so looking forward to upgrading my Samsung Galaxy S10. – Adrian’s Journal from Adrian Video Image https://ift.tt/2HdQQz4 via IFTTT

I have a YouTube video of me exploring Sega Building in Akihabara … The one that closed in 30 August 2020. It was precious travel memories… So I updated the video title and the thumbnail to reflect the trend. I hope the video will give curious viewers a vivid visual tour inside the building. Enjoy the Otaku (me) memories of Sega Building Arcade in Akihabara… https://youtu.be/ktuJecCUoEA “After 17 years of welcoming arcade goers, the Sega Akihabara Building 2 arcade shuts its doors on 30 August 2020, resulting in the loss of one of the most iconic video game arcades along the district.” – https://geekculture.co/massive-sega-arcade-in-akihabara-bids-farewell-as-it-closes-down-for-good/ “Standing on a corner directly across from the Manseibashi Bridge that stretches across the Kandagawa River, the unobstructed view of Sega Akihabara Building 2 made the skyscraper a prime canvas for massive murals promoting the latest video game release or anime tie-up.” – https://...

Ever since my current stock broking agent prevented (‘protected” from their point of view) me from buying a an unusually fast-rising stock, I have been looking for a new trading platform. Then via word of mouth (through a friend of a son of a colleague of my wife), I was introduced to iFast SG… That led me to FundSuperMart. iFast vs FundSuperMart With IFAST you can only open an account with a registered financial planner or banker. … From what I understand, they are virtually the same, just that one requires the intervention of a financial planner or banker… https://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/money-mind-210/ifast-funsupermart-5375247.html So I opened and account with FundSuperMart. It’s so easy and instant. No documents required. I just linked my SingPass account and it grabbed all my personal data. Next, I filled in some extra details like income and current occupation. Finally, create an ID with a password for login. All that in less than 10 minutes. My next step is to ...
