    Can I suggest something? I think it’s better to increase the scale of the display when you’re recording. Especially on mobile, it makes it much easier to see small text, and for example if the video quality is low it will still be clear :)

    I was suppose to get a computer refresh this week.. I was finally gonna get a m1 MacBook..
    Then the boss denied my request and said "consultants only get HP laptops..". Im so angry that I have to downgrade and endure another frustrating 3 years of slow computers that can barely hold 10 browser tabs up...
    I would gladly buy my own m2 pro and have them configure it for their companies adoptions and what not. they could even keep the thing after im gone.. I just want a smooth work computer :/
    haha this is like salt in the wound 🥲
