There was a time when Satin Web was Tectra’s main focus. However, nowadays, it’s nowhere to be seen. What happened? The origins of Satin Web date back to a year and a half ago. It was the first major Tectra program to be released.  Satin Web got many updates. Over the course of a year, it switched from being based on Internet Explorer to Chromium. It got tabbed browsing. It even received themes. Satin Web was growing up at a rapid pace. It seemed like that it would continue to improve and get updates. However, as we all very well know, this wasn't the case.  Updates for Satin Web slowed down to a stagnant pace. It got buried by newer, more exciting software. Satin Web went as quickly as it came. Why did this happen? It mainly boils down to priorities. The Tectra team started focusing on other things, which caused Satin Web to be mostly forgotten.  What's next?At this point, you are probably thinking that Satin Web is a thing of the past. However, this isn't true. Tectra still has plans for the browser that started everything. Satin Web 13 is currently in the works. While the future of Satin Web might seem uncertain now, it will hopefully improve over the course of the next few months. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed this post. I thought I'd try something different than usual today. If you want to see more posts like this one, let me know! |
About a year ago, I reviewed the 2014 Mac mini on this blog. Ultimately, I came to the conclusion that it was still an excellent machine for productivity tasks, but it could also handle some more intense things you threw at it. Thus, it became my daily driver up until I upgraded to a 2017 MacBook Air a few months ago. That being said, I’ve still been using it some, so I thought I’d briefly share how it’s holding up these days. Here are my thoughts on this miniature Macintosh one year later! Performance Over the last year, I’ve been impressed by how much this Mac can handle. It’s rocking a 2.6 GHz dual-core Core i5 with 8 GB of RAM and a Samsung 860 Evo 1 TB SATA SSD. What all that jargon essentially means is that it’s a moderately powerful little computer, although it certainly isn’t going to put newer Macs to shame. Regardless, I’ve been able to do lots of coding, video editing, and schoolwork on this computer, and it has generally worked pretty well. Granted, it can take a while...
