It goes all the way down to the naming of system utilities. Disk Utility has a distinct name and icon (and questionable functionality). You can easily find it in Spotlight and launch it with a few key strokes. The familiar icon appears and

When I was a young and broke student I had more time to tinker with old computers and free (and pirated) software and get things fun things working. I also hated on Apple. Now that I have a comfortable middle class western lifestyle I can a

You don’t have to flick anything. Windows align against each other and you can position them how you like. You can even configure it to always open specific apps in a particular virtual desktop should you chose. If you want a full screen ap

If you’re on your Mac or iOS device and you get a sms with a 2FA code the OS pops the code up for you for autocomplete. You can have iMessage send and receive sms from macOS.

You can also scan a document from your iPhone and insert the image anywhere from the context (right click) menu. All it’s really doing is removing a few steps from the need to unlock your phone, open the notes app, select the scan document

I’m the same. I love the look of it all but I can barely manage to make progress in something like Hollow Knight never mind Souls games. With work and family and ageing I don’t have the time, patience or reflexes for this type of game unfor

You can also connect multiple Macs, no iPad needed. I’ve an iMac in my office and I bring my MacBook Pro to lectures, the lab or meetings. I’ll often have both machines on my desk and will need to move some files from one machine to another

It’s the kind of thing they’ll talk up and demo at their keynotes and maybe on their webpage when the latest OS drops, so unless you’re actively paying attention to them all of this goes unseen. Sometimes the annoying tips app may pop up an

With a HomePod you can transfer music from a phone to the speaker by holding it near it. It’s not AirPlay it just switches over. A similar feature for MacOS would be nice. You can also use an Apple Watch as a remote for music playing on any

I’d imagine the Control Centre remote widget on iOS/iPadOS/WatchOS will come to the Mac. A swipe and a tap isn’t much hassle!

Apple’s focus has been on pushing iPhone sales, however it seems now they are acknowledging that golden calf is tired and they are looking at making the ecosystem and services work more. So we’re seeing a merging of device functionality and

This is exactly what Apple have done again and again and yet people are still surprised when it happens. Touch screens, FaceTime, AirDrop, Handoff, Sidecar. These are generally polished and reliable iterations of existing ideas that don’t r

You don’t even need to do that, just rearrange the interface order. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202480

You can use both Wi-Fi and Ethernet, just rearrange the interface order in system preferences and your networking will all go through Ethernet and all these features will use Wi-Fi. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202

I don’t understand this use case. Why would you want to use your mouse and keyboard with tvOS? There’s nothing to drag and drop either. You can screen share to an Apple TV however.

I used to use Notability but recently switched to Good Notes. iCloud sync would cause Notability to freeze and the recent Notability subscription drama made Good Notes cheap to switch.

The discussion over on blender devtalk is that they now have cycles working on Metal (including AMD GPUs) and now they can start to optimise. https://devtalk.blender.org/t/cycles-apple-metal-device-feed... I’ve already

My iPhone barely registers any battery usage by Find My but it hammers my iPad drawing the battery anywhere from 20 to 50% overnight. It’s a very real and very annoying problem.

IBM Zurich did something similar a few years ago. Recognising the limitations of the Carnot efficiency when trying to scavenge energy from data centres, they opted to recognise the economic value of warm water for district heating. https:&

This would seem to be a better response to an occupying force which must patrol captured land, as per Iraq and Afghanistan. Right now it seems the difficult terrain is doing a lot of immobilisation making them sitting ducks.

Probably the best use for a Touch Bar is scrubbing through Youtube ads.

I bought an LG C1 and paired it with a new Apple TV 4K. I refused all the TVs EULAs for its smart features and only let it update firmware. Painless experience and no ads.

I’ve updated, reset, repaired… The drain can be either slow or aggressive but it doesn’t go away.

I think this is the point for me. I really love the concept of these games. The world building and lore is incredible but I don’t have the time to invest to make any progress. Instead any playtime is confusing and frustrating and then I hav
