preface
I'm working from home again...
ay...... But if there is a little trick, it will not be a little trick, who wants to work from home in such a situation.
The ** on the labor card has been hung for a long time, and the impression seems to be only a few days before the Spring Festival in 2021 ** after work for a few days, the second or third day of the New Year is hung up again, this frequency is simply higher than when I went to work. Here I have to say: ** Star, you are old and hard, the reason why you always hope that it can retire quickly, and get out of the egg with the epidemic! But in the end, it is necessary to return to reality.
"Passive" work from home
Still that sentence, but if there is a little trick, it will not be a little trick at all...
No, on the 13th, Xiao Wei's tweet completely nailed the home office board. Shenzhen has added sporadically every day since the end of the year, and this time the Shenzhen government has taken precautions to directly complete the nucleic acid.
In fact, Shenzhen is not easy, after all, there are tens of thousands of cases of cases in Hong Kong on the other side of the strait every day, and from time to time I read reports and smuggle over from the other side and swim over with a suitcase (now in 2022), the pressure can be imagined.
But in the face of the epidemic, what the state and the government can do is to do everything in its power to strangle the virus in the cradle and prevent its spread, and it is absolutely impossible to touch the fish and mess up in the face of great right and wrong.
By the way, everyone is welcome to show off their green code and nucleic acid test results, I will come first.
Better tools make good work
ay? I'm going to write something, I'm sorry, guys, the whole thing is off track. Today our theme is working from home, yes, that's the way it is.
There must be an Internet café for home office, in addition to the Internet, there must be a computer bar, and the interface is enough? Holding a USB-A interface U disk in your hand looking at the computer that is full of USB-C interface is not easy to plug in, is it uncomfortable?
laptop
In the face of the current notebook is more and more thin and light, many larger interfaces and do not apply to the interior of the notebook body, HDMI, VGA, DP and other interfaces for the notebook is too occupied, so now many notebooks tend to be equipped with USB-C interface, anyway, USB-C interface can be dry, but also become the heart of major notebook manufacturers.
Here I had to take the apple out again. Yes, the configuration of the full USB-C interface was brought up by Apple. Cook is holding the first MacBook released by Apple in 2015, without a suffix, the official name: New MacBook (M series self-developed processor came out, there is hope that Apple will resurrect 12-inch MacBook users). Why mention it?
This is the interface introduced by Phil Schiller at the press conference, the above five interface types cover data transmission, video transmission and charging functions, just when you think that the new MacBook is equipped with these five interfaces, the surprise appears.
In fact, the New MacBook only has a USB-C physical interface, what if you want to use a USB-A USB flash drive or HDMI video cable?
Buy it and you're done.
The price of the converter on Apple's official website is basically in the three digits, and it is not a dream to buy two or three on the four-digit price.
Although Apple's latest 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro welcomes back the HDMI interface and SDXC card slot, with the market ownership of MacBooks, there are still many users with only USB-C physical interfaces.
Tablet
I don't know when to start, tablets can also talk about productivity, perhaps starting with Apple's release of iPadOS.
The improvement of performance, the blessing of iPadOS, and the configuration of the USB-C interface make Apple's iPad step by step closer to productivity, but there is a hardware problem that has to be ignored, it only has a USB-C interface, and in the MacBook in the other camp, the MacBook Air with the smallest interface on sale has 2 USB-C.
It depends on your allocation, if you want to charge, you can't connect to external storage, and if you want to connect external storage, you can't connect other peripherals.
cell phone
The excess performance of mobile phones, the environment of the epidemic, coupled with the popularity of USB-C monitors, have also created a use scenario for mobile phone offices.
But the same problem as the iPad, it only has a USB-C interface, and it is a bit stretched to connect peripherals. Is there a solution? Definitely there is.
Versatile expansion
Speaking of whether this is to think that the docking station is recommended again, strictly speaking, it is not, because the thing to be recommended today is a bit special, it can be used as a docking station, but it is not exactly a docking station.
A professional docking station can realize charging, data transmission and video transmission, basic and computer development side of the thing it can do, do docking station it is professional, but can only do expansion.
And today to talk about the product is a bit unprofessional, in addition to expanding the function it can also do other, a thing can do two jobs, for the need to expand the dock function of your interest?
