I have calluses on my wrists from years of using MacBooks, so the sharp corners are no longer a problem ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m using the iPad Magic Keyboard which is also a stand. So it’s pretty much the same as using a MacBook. I do have the 13 inch. I tried the 11 inch but personally I found that too small to use comfortably like this.

I mainly use my iPad Pro like a MacBook with the Magic Keyboard and a Razer mouse (I can even play ARC Raiders perfectly on it, streamed from the gaming pc in another room; having a completely silent gaming setup in the living room is amazing) connected.

My macOS muscle memory works most of the time, but there are also quite some details which are slightly different or missing. If they would allow a macOS “mode” on iPad I would choose it over a MacBook instantly for work.

Wouldn’t it be great if this finally breaks the Microsoft stranglehold. We could pop open the champagne and toast to liberté égalité and digital sovereignty ;)

My gosh yes please! This is so annoying. Last time I checked it’s impossible to disconnect your email address from Google auth if you used that to sign up. And no way to delete the account and recreate with that email address.

I'm subscribed to the Premium Family plan to get rid of the ads and for the music service, which I think at the current price is a great deal. I just wish they would add more options to the premium plan, like:

- add proper filters (e.g. for sponsored content, low effort content creators, any content about spending/winning money, other obvious nonsense which exists just to increase views, etc. etc.)

- detect and filter generated and other low effort crap content

- add proper parental controls (it's a family plan, after all and YouTube Kids does not count, it sucks)

- disable Shorts (if there's one thing that's going to make me cancel my subscription it's the cancer that is Shorts)

That’s great. Unfortunately I’ve seen SSE fail quite a few times in the scenario I described.

Not entirely sure why it would break…?

True, though when carefully implemented it’s the most reliable option I guess.

Or, if you’re building for clients with a traditional “enterprise” and “secure” IT infrastructure: add refresh buttons and call it a day. If there’s one thing in my experience that consistently fails in these environments and cannot be fixed due to endless red tape, it’s trying to make real-time work for these type of clients.

I fondly remember playing Doom with my brother. Our dad had made a serial cable for us. One of us was playing on the PC and the other one on a laptop with a grey scale display and terrible ghosting. We had so much fun and it felt like magic indeed :)

> and now hes blogged multiple times about platform teams - which - having been on one - don't work.

I’d love to hear more about your experience with a platform team and why you say they don’t work.

I remember making fun of Microsoft trying to combine mouse and touch in a single UI.

And yet here we are, Apple doing the same thing to macOS, resulting in the same shit desktop/mouse experience that macOS has become.

I understand the reasons but it seems so incredibly un-Apple to sacrifice UX for this.

Agreed, the Chrome browser extension and the Safari inline menu are garbage. Fortunately the classic extension is still available and still works great for me, as well as Safari with the inline menu option disabled. Same for the iOS extension, garbage. But luckily the classic password autofill on iOS still does work great.
