   If you turn the screen off, the audio gets cut off pretty quickly, though. If someone made something that'd let me play YouTube in the background, I'd jump on it! Was thinking of using Pythonista and youtube-dl, but that got sidet

   I highly recommend reading the MacStories review of iOS and iPadOS 13 [1]. Thirty (!) pages. It's like the manual that Apple forgot. Case in point: you can swipe from the bottom-right corner of the screen with the Apple Pencil and it&#

    In Alaska, I drove everywhere and my computing setup was just right (a 12.9" iPad Pro, smart cover, and Magic keyboard). Here in Europe, I walk a lot more, and my giant iPad is heavy for me. Also, a small, light bag is a blessing: buse

    As far as taking an in-person class, if you tend to be the type to research things and think about them rather than doing them, then a class is an amazing resource: - other students to practice with (new friends who share an interest!) -
