The folks at OWC are out with a new accessory today that could prove useful for Mac users. The new Dual DisplayPort Adapter from OWC utilizes the latest DisplayPort 1.4 technology to turn one Thunderbolt port on your Mac into two DisplayPort connections for external monitors. As always, note that M1-powered MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac mini support only a single external display over Thunderbolt due to the M1’s limitations. This means this adapter is more ideal for Intel Macs (or perhaps upcoming M1X MacBook Pros). This is also true for the iPad Pro. OWC explains: With the new…

And we’ve gained a level of trust, familiarity, and…

At the start of this week we reported on peculiar complaints about the screen on the new iPad mini. Dubbed ‘jelly scrolling’, the alleged issue caused the screen of the device to wobble like the popular gelatin-based dessert when owners scrolled slowly through text-heavy websites and interfaces. A video posted to Twitter by The Verge’s Dieter Bohn shows that – at least when the video is slowed down – a wobbling effect can be perceived. But Bohn was far from the only user to report the problem. Here is is slow-mo video of scrolling on the iPad Min i slowed…
