Is that an Oliver North bio holding up your monitor? If so, i'm glad that book has found a purpose.

Haha, yes it is. It's actually my brother's book; I've never actually read it mysel:p:p

I wanted to raise my monitor up an inch or two, and I couldn't find anything else sturdy enough and small enough.

mine never really changes much...

Nice, is that a Benq monitor? If it is, what size and how is it? Any back light bleeding (that's the problem with benqs, as far as i read)?

Update: looked closer, it is a benq. :p

Yeah it's a benq 20 inch wide screen. It's pretty good. It's an older model. I got it for $160 so I can't complain about it. The viewing angles aren't the greatest, but definitely acceptable. The base is fixed so you can't swivel sideways or raise the monitor either. It doesn't bother me at all but others may not like that. I'm not having much trouble with back light bleed, but I have noticed occasionally the back light has flickered a little. But I have only noticed that 2 or 3 times and it's just for a second.

That would be cubase?

I think you're right. I thought it was, but when I opened my copy, it looked nothing like it... but then again, my copy is for Windows, and it's not used as much as his, therefore, he probably customized it a ton more. I'd ask him, but other than the monthly emails, and sometimes longer between, I don't talk to him almost at all. It's hard, since he's got such a busy schedule.

    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri by David Uzondu Image via Apple Today, at the opening keynote of Apple's annual World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC), the company announced Siri AI, a "reimagined version" of its voice assistant that runs on Apple Intelligence. Siri AI helps you do things like draft messages, edit photos, and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations. You can access Siri AI through several methods, depending on the device. While "Hey Siri" remains active, iPhone users can also press the side button, swipe down from the Dynamic Island, or use a system-wide context menu on Mac to analyze on-screen text. Image via Apple If you ever need to go back and check previous interactions, you can open the dedicated Siri app to view your entire conversation history. This application privately syncs your data using iCloud, leveraging local Foundational Models alongside Apple's secure Private Cloud Compute servers to keep user data inaccessible to outsiders. On the iPhone, Apple built the assistant into the Camera app, bringing Visual Intelligence to help you split bills or count calories. This feature also expands to the iPad and Mac, letting users use screenshots or shortcuts to analyze images, while Apple Vision Pro users can ask questions about objects in their physical room. Other things to know about Siri AI include systemwide dictation that automatically handles punctuation and formatting, customizable voice speeds, and a spatial 3D interface built for Apple Vision Pro. Apple also added Smart Stack suggestions on the Apple Watch to help you continue recent conversations directly from your wrist. The road to Siri AI was quite bumpy for Apple, which initially promised these capabilities at WWDC 2024 when the Cupertino tech giant debuted Apple Intelligence. Apple later turned to Google, signing a $1 billion annual deal to use Gemini models instead of relying solely on its own in-house systems. However, this deal came only after consumers sued Apple because features Apple promised "did not exist at the time, do not exist now, and will not exist for two or more years." Siri AI is available for developer testing on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, and visionOS 27.
    • Real shame the 16 GB versions are crazy more expensive than this.
    • Making me care less about LibreOffice with every tantrum they throw.
    • And within the EU all this Siri AI stuff will probably work around 2030 and the IPhone 25 🤣
