Wow… I just assumed Sidecar was a second monitor, totally underestimated it. Bummer it only works on newer MacBooks!

- kergonath 5y agoYes, I think it relies on some features of a recent-ish Bluetooth version. To be fair, I never use it for something requiring complex input, but it’s nice for something like a movie, a music app, or something that runs in the background but you might want to have a glance at every now and then.

There is a hack you can install to force sidecar to run on earlier macs, but the latency and quality is terrible, partially because h264 is harder to shove over the wire than more compressed h256
