With "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer", two cinema blockbusters kept the editorial team busy this week. There was also a summer highlight in the gaming sector with "Pikmin 4". And the test of the Mac Studio inspired many discussions among our readers.

Kevin Reuter is 28 years old and successfully develops Apple apps. Kim spoke to him and found out how he did it. You can also find tips in the interview if you want to do the same as Kevin.

For Luca, however, "Barbie" was just the starter. For the main course, he treated himself to Christopher Nolan's latest epic "Oppenheimer". He also has high praise for this film, even describing it as a "masterpiece of the opulent chamber play".

Similarly stressful are comparisons between Mac and PC - a topic that is so emotionally charged on Digitec that the comment columns explode every time. Because Apple's new Mac Studio, as a high-end desktop, also has to deliver high-end performance, I took a chance anyway and pitted it against a Windows computer.

My fingerprint often changes so drastically that my MacBook doesn't recognise it anymore. The reason? If I'm not clinging to a monitor or camera, I'm probably clinging to a rockface by the tips of my fingers.
