I forgot to write the English version of the article. I wrote early in the morning of May 5.

This is my first article in a while. I hadn't written a article at all since I wrote my New Year's resolutions.

I haven't achieved what I had resoluted for at all. Ugh.
Here are my resolutions for this year. Write blogs regularly and publish technical information. Learn English every day and use it for my work.
New year’s resolution - 都内で働くSEの技術的なひとりごと / Technical soliloquy of System Engineer working in Tokyo
Due to "Corona Virus", Golden Week was turned into Gaman Week ("Gaman" means endurance.) as some governor had sent out by e-mail. Today (May 4), a state of emergency was declared extended until May 31. It looks like I'll still be WFH. The only way to achieve our goals is to improve efficiency, since I mostly work on a PC, so the only way to improve efficiency is to make iPad multi-display. Multi-display is a must. After the state of emergency was declared, I purchased one unsold display at an appliance store.

However, there are many things that i want to keep open at all times while working, such as email, Teams, Twitter? Youtube? Facebook? It's annoying to switch between multiple applications. I want more sub-displays! So, I tried out four sub-display tools this time.
- Sidecar
- Duet Display
- Yam Display
- spacedesk
Sidecar connects to iPad from macOS and is very responsive and functional. However, the MAC has been taken over by my kid's cram school for online classes, so I can no longer use it at work.
Duet Display was probably very much in use on macOS until Sidecar was released. There are many items that can be configured, and it is as good as Sidecar. However, it's wired, and if i buy Duet Air, can do it wirelessly...
Yam Display is only for macOS, so I can't use it this time, unfortunately. So, I tried the last spacedesk and it fit my home requirements perfectly. What's more, it's free! The OS is limited to Windows. In addition, since the connection is via LAN, the sub-display device (iPad etc) must be connected to the same segment of LAN. In some companies, it may be difficult to connect personal devices to the company network, but this time it was not a problem at all because i'am WFH now. So, let's set it up quickly.
First, install the server function on the PC from which i want to connect. The application will be installed as below.
Next, install the Multi Monitor App on your iPad, which will be sub-display. After the installation, set the IP address of the PC on which the server function is installed.
After setting it up, can make it a sub-display by clicking on the red frame part of the tool.
As a result, my home environment looks like below, with a 5 sub-display lol.
Even with all these features, spacedesk is free software. Great!
I recently bought a new oven toaster. It's stylish, multi-functional and very easy to use. I highly recommend it.
