Singapore ~ Before the Trip

As the trip gets closer, my emotion towards Singapore grows stronger. My days in Singapore weren’t the greatest, and it was rather miserable instead. For some reason, it always comes back, and I cannot forget about it. I spent most of my time in Singapore programming, and I rarely went outside except for school. That’s how I spent two and a half years there. I only met other students and my guardian once in a while....

Reminiscence ~ Go Beyond

I had no idea what I was doing before I was in Singapore. Every day, I woke up and went to school to study but for what? I had no goals back then because all I needed to do was study and get good grades. Life in Singapore was truly memorable. I was doing crazy things, and I have no idea how I did them. Talking with my classmates was hard because they had no idea what I was talking about....

Return of iPhone SE

A month ago, I returned my iPhone SE. You might be wondering why it took so long. It is interesting because I only received it today. The device was returned twice because the seller sent the wrong model. I like the new device simply because everything works as it should. For the past month, I was living with my old iPhone 6s, and it wasn’t great. The battery life was bad even if the battery health is still decent....

MacBook Pro 2019

The all new Mac Studio is fancy. It is much cheaper than buying the latest MacBook Pro. However, why do I need to buy it if I can buy a used MacBook Pro 2019 with Intel i9, AMD graphics and 1TB SSD for much less? The 2019 MacBook Pro is almost perfect for me. I used to own the 2017 15 inch MacBook Pro, and it worked great for me. The reason why I bought it was because of bootcamp as I said before in Apple M1 a year ago....

AnimeGo ~ Road to Desktop

With the latest release of Flutter, Windows is officially supported, and this is a great LEAP of Flutter. However, the road to desktop is not simple. Simply running the same app on desktop is not fully supporting desktop. The app must adapt to desktop and should even include desktop specific features. AnimeGo was first created in late 2017, and it was only meant for Android. React Native was used for development, and the app was not that good....

Two weeks with iPhone SE

Today, I returned my iPhone SE gen 1 to the seller. It was a short time with my little iPhone SE, but I enjoyed using the phone more than anything else. It is tiny and light unlike most flagship phones, but it is a fully functional phone. It runs the latest OS (iOS 15), and all apps are usable. The external resembles an iPhone 5, but it has an A9 chip inside....

A15 Bionic

Another year, another boring event. Nothing is interesting since the iPhone X event. The notch this year is finally smaller but that notch is what stopping Apple. The new iPad mini is what iPhone 13 should be. Abandon the torch completely and move on with Touch ID and Type C. However, it is not enough. Apple can do better but they choose not to. One day, I want the iPhone to be like a desktop but first, Type C is required....

UTM

UTM is a virtualisation app for iOS and iPad OS. This is the only saviour for my new iPad Pro. ISH is simply too slow and took forever to compile my C/C++ code. Jekyll simple doesn’t work at all. With UTM, I can use Jykell with Debian at least but it is not great. Maybe, I should just download a git client on iOS and write my new post there....

My vision for iPad OS

Yesterday, I talked about my new iPad Pro M1. I love it and hate it at the same time. Today, I think I should talk about my vision of iPad OS. Apple may have something completely different in their mind but today, no Apple only me. The first iPad I used was the very first iPad. It was nothing special but a larger and powerful iPhone. My mom used to watch videos on it and she is still doing the same today....

iPad Pro M1

Today, I received my iPad Pro M1. The delivery is quick and I bought it because of the coupon I got from Apple. This device is amazing for an average user but very limiting for me. I enjoy everything Apple offers but it can never become a computer if the system is this limited. I received my coupon earlier this year after returning my Developer Transition Kit. It was a failure but that’s another topic....
