I started to use my new Apple M1 MacMini for video editing with DaVincci Resolver 16. That is not native for M1 yet. But that is still very fast. For 1 Minute 4K video, the exporting time is less than 1 minute. I believe the M1 and the new MacOS is tuned for this purpose. Lastly, the internal hard disk for M1 MacMini is very expensive. I got 512GB Hard Disk, but that is very limited. So, I got Samsung T7 external hard. That is still very fast enough for video editing via thunderbolt, that is about 1Gbits and that is around half price of the internal hard disk

The release date of iPhone 12 is delayed a number of times. This week, Apple announced the new iPhone finally. I am looking for a replacement of her iPhone 6. However, after I looked into the specification, iPhone 12 got 5G and a better CPU A14. Moreover, after iPhone 12 is released, iPhone 11 price has dropped around $200, starting from $999. That is a better option for her. She does not required 5G and a high performance CPU. She only needs a phone can take a good photo. I think the best option for her is iPhone11 128GB, that is only $1079

I have used Microsoft teams got about two years. It can blur my background. That is very good. Their rival, Zoom, can change the background into your own image. That sounds much better. That is very useful, even the background is blurred, but the teammates still can see my room is quite messy. That is better to be completely changed to another image.
But today, I used Teams as my daily routine. It got a new feature. I can change my background now. However, I still cannot find a way to use my image as the background. You can choose from their preset collections of the photo. Well, there are a lot of choices, such as Mindcraft, Office Room, Space station, etc.
In the end, I love this new feature!

During late last year, there are some neo banks(i.e., virtual banks), such as UP, Xinja, and 84600. These kinds of banks are not any physical branches. Moreover, they are mainly focused on Mobile App. Even you can open your account online too. You just need to enter your Medicare card or driver's license. They can verify your ID. That is very good.
Recently, I opened a virtual bank account. Firstly, that is rarely for me to go to a physical bank. Mainly, I used their online banking. For us, that is no different from a virtual bank. Besides, even the virtual banks are still bank, they still have protection from the Australian Government's Financial Claims Scheme. Their deposits are guaranteed up to $250,000 per customer. So, I opened an account in there. Opening an account is very simple. In the traditional banks, some times, the customers need to make an appointment to open an account. But opening an account in a virtual bank did everything in the mobile app, enter my name, mobile number, and email. Verify my ID with a medicare card and enter the tax number. Also, I think their app is straightforward to use, and they support PayID, Osko(instant bank transfer), Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Even I can pull my account balance from my other bank on the mobile. That is very good. I can have a consolidation view of my money. Also, they have not a physical bank, but they are very good at support too. I phoned their support a few numbers. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
Lastly, because these banks are small and new now, they are more keen to attract customers than the traditional banks, their saving interest rates normally, at least 0.25% higher.
