Makzan’s Weekly Dispatch 2019w7: Moving into new apartment

Hi there,

In last week, I was busy moving things into my new apartment. It was scheduled to move in living there lats week but we need some move construction work so it delays to next week.

I setup a LG UltraFine 4K in a corner of my working room. It is a nice companion to my iPad Pro, Macbook Pro and Surface Go. All of them can be charged with USB-C from this UltraFine monitor. An IKEA wireless charger for my iPhone and USB-C to Lightening for AirPod.
