Does this mean that if your phone dies or you turn it off during a movie your keys will randomly beep at you?
I'm happy that they ditched the old, confusing 'touch' Siri remote for a traditional four button (up/down/left/right) one. The old Siri remote was pretty frustrating. I know some people love it, but there's so many ways it didn't. work well:

1. You breath on the thing, and it does something. It's extremely sensitive

2. It's really hard to fast fwd/rewind just a little bit. Its good at scrubbing through a whole movie, but try to go back 30 seconds with it, it's nearly impossible. Even worse, if you accidentally touch it, the movie goes fwd/back, and you try to scrub precisely to where you were - pretty frustrating.

3. You're not touching the thing you're interacting with, and unlike a touchpad, you don't see a cursor you're moving. It's supposed to be 'like' you're touching the screen itself.

4. Most people who aren't somewhat tech savvy just will give up (I set my dad up with our roku elsewhere for this reason). They expect physical buttons and to be able to 'click' through channels. It's not even apparent until you use it for a while part of the remote is a touchpad, as it's all black

It's like the remote was built for savvy iPhone users, not people that want to just watch TV.

Apple TV has other usablity problems, but that was a big one for me that would make me question getting another one.
Even 7.1 speakers simulate input when it comes to positional surround like Dolby Atmos, albeit without the need to do HRTF wizardry/gimmicks.

Plus, the distinguishing feature of the Apple spatial audio implementation is that it has head tracking so that locations correspond to the listening position even when you turn your head. (I think there are Audeze headsets that can do a version of this with PC.)
not yet. If a significant portion of otherwise theft-friendly bikes have trackers, I don't see why they wouldn't learn to, someone would probably even commoditize the sniffing tech to sell to other thiefs.
You can already make Linux run any binary you want for the same CPU architecture, for example, wine uses this functionality. You can make it run natively binaries from other architectures with a rewriting VM like qemu (although I'm not sure qemu itself can port binaries between architectures, just that it's rewriting VM). Your VM can enforce security with a sandbox instead of a hypervisor, like the Java, C#, node ones do.

Hypervisor is not the standard, it's one of the many ways people do it right now.
It should be built-in.

Apple has this bizarre blind-spot where they will not ever launch anything if it doesn't have 100% UX, when sometimes, actually a 98% UX is pretty damn useful. I mean, the remote has a touch pad!

I'm not arguing they should have no lower limit on UX quality (lke Android), it's just, it should be slightly, slightly lower.

And just to avoid any third party apps solving this problems for users, they simply refuse to allow real local browser Apple TV apps to their appstore.
And none of the ones I use support SPM.
> I have tons of room behind my desk, I have much less room on my desk. I don't want the power brick anywhere near my computer.

There wouldn't really be any increase in desk usage if the power brick was integrated into the display. The stand's size will still be more or less the same even if the display was twice as thick, as it's going to be more about supporting the leverage from the upper part of the display at whatever angles it supports being at rather than a bit of extra thickness & weight in the bottom part of the display.

The problem with the brick is it's something you have to cable manage. You need to mount that brick somewhere or have it sitting visibly ugly on the floor. And since it has a port on it, you need to be able to access it more often than you otherwise would. It's classic form over function here. They wanted it to look like a big ipad, and they made compromises to achieve that. It does look nice, but you are paying for that in more than just the MSRP price.

If you really care about the minimal amount of desk footprint then get the one with a VESA mount instead & put it on a monitor arm.

Another note to the developers of this site: I'm not sure if you've tested with Safari, but if you attempt to upload a file over 1 GB you'll get a number of prompts asking if you'd like to allow the website to use an amount of disk space, which showed up in increments of 200-400 MB for me.

"Do you want to allow this site to use 1GB of space on your Mac?"
"Do you want to allow this site to use 1.2GB of space on your Mac?"
"Do you want to allow this site to use 1.4GB of space on your Mac?"

> Apple successfully changed that

I feel like this gives far too much credit to Apple. Any one company can "think differently" but Apple shouldn't get the blame for all of the other companies following suit.

Remember the ads Samsung ran before axing the headphone jack a year later?

M1 > SwiftUI > MacCatalyst = Write once, run anywhere.

Watching the iPadOS and MacCatalyst APIs mature says different form factors will emphasize certain workflows over others, but overall, feature parity is and will be a priority across the device lineup, iPhone included...

I thought it was intended for lost items rather than stolen items. I've had my phone stolen multiple times and thieves know exactly what to do to prevent 'find my' activating. I'm sure it wouldn't take them long to find/disable AirTags either.
Agreed. I bet the GME stuff that happened resulted in _a lot_ of free advertising for Robinhood.
I was super happy to see that option for sudo, and it worked great. Until MacOS reverted it. Not sure if I did an update or what, but the change was undone.
I wonder if the solution to this is to offer workers a non financial benefit, so it doesn't cost the farmer and more to employ a local person, but that local person gains something that they wouldn't get just by sitting at home collecting benefits...

> Remember that if you held the true value of a currency flat with increasing automation and technological efficiency you should get more for the same amount of money.

That...requires a very special definition of “true value”. If the “true value” is measured by consumer goods and services you can exchange it for, this is trivially false. If it is measured by labor hours of production output you can exchange it for, it is equally trivially true. Neither is uncontroversially the One True Meaning of “true value”.
Not all devices work when adapted like that. I have keyboards that are usb-c (keyboard output) to usb-a that don't work when converted to usb-c.
> Second, I want the same kind of quantity of books you'd find in a book shop

Boutique book shop with airy rooms and lots of places to meet with authors and hold readings, or used book shops with books piled on books and all larger spaces subdivided into warrens and alleys using bookshelves which are, quite often, double-stacked? The former is more manageable, sure, but you'll only find that one philosophy book with interesting marginalia in the latter.
This so easily could be my primary computing device. I've been an iPad user since the first gen and its my goto for anything that isn't work related and that's only because I can't easily write software on it.

I understand there are more people interested in the use cases apple illustrated in their presentation than software developers who just want to run docker on their ipads so I wont hold my breath.

But I'd love to actually justify the need for an M1 to be in an ipad.
I’ve got a similar stack, what are you using for ORM? Started using Prisma to replace TypeORM/TypeGraphQL but it’s new and unproven. Also are you caching with Redis, any other utilities helping with that? GraphQL-codegen is a lifesaver for generating gql types and resolvers.
I'm surprised since I heard the difference was small at worst. Could you elaborate on the RAM issues?
Good point, but our ears definitely do perceive the 2 to 1 ratio. Maybe that particular phenomenon is better analysed through the usual pschoacoustic approach of "at what point do we stop perceiving one sound and start perceiving two "?

> Assuming you have an existing successful podcast, I don't get why you'd move to something like Spotify. Are you really going to make that much more money? Your share of $10 per month cannot be high.

Why would you not put it on Spotify? It costs you nothing and can only increase your audience. I’m not talking about exclusive-rights scenarios, but the majority of podcasts which are published to multiple platforms.
I agree it's certainly possible. But I've seen a lot of housing developments since the 1980s in the Western cities' suburbs that are at odds with conservationism. I think it happened to not be felt until relatively recently because there was some "slack" available due to lower populations to allow those large lots to exist and not feel crowded or encroach on the environment.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure there is a politically tenable solution since everyone likes their own personal vehicles, and for that you need a driveway or garage, and for that you need space and roads, and that does not scale well with population increase.

If legal is familiar with AGPL, like they are with GPL, BSD or Apache, they should see no issue. This change does not really affect anyone except for the very small number of people/companies that make their own changes to software and make this software available online to others.

If you aren't such a company and legal would still say you guys can't use e.g. Grafana anymore... the truth will be that it's some incompetent (or severely underhanded, where they can't do any research and err on the side of caution) legal department, failing at their jobs.
Apple has lidar on this iPad. At some point, Elon has to concede that lidar is not too expensive to put in a car, right? I understand that not all lidar is the same in precision and cost. But surely some lidar is better than no lidar.
CTO here! We took a lot of inspiration on our latest design from Tahoe LAFS. Big fans. Main difference as I see it is Tahoe isn't as focused on producing a full storage ecosystem (storage node operators, etc), but we do share lots of similar points technically! Encryption, Reed Solomon, etc. Zooko's zfec Reed Solomon library influenced our usage of Reed Solomon for sure.
Literally the only reason I'll jump into it for C# projects now and then... Spend most of my time in VS Code for what I work on more, but will still open VS now and then when a C# solution is just a bit too much. It's gotten a lot better though.
Until there are readily available, not too expensive, hubs that (1) hook up to the computer via a USB-C to USB-C cable, and (2) have multiple USB-C ports that you can use to hook up USB-C devices via USB-C to USB-C cables, it is not time to move on.

SQLite, Vim/Emacs, Linux, everything in GNU coreutils.

All of the Apache projects (some to more/less an extant than others).

Most programming language implementations (e.g. CPython). Memcached. WireGuard. SQLAlchemy. Web Frameworks like Flask, Django, Rails, on and on.

There are many open source technologies that do not seek to capture the value they create with licensing hijinks.

I don’t think it’s an accident, that the ones that persist across generations are generally not structured as VC-backed firms, who care a great deal more about “value capture” than the average programmer capable of building such foundational systems. Usually “value capture” is correlated with “consumer harm”, and so they’re replaced over time.

From your example, K8s will definitely outlive Google. Hard to say about Android.

Mac mini M1 with a good monitor and keyboard is the combo I would go for. Seems bit expensive for the base model.
I think they could find a good middle ground. Since macOS can run iOS apps on M1 devices, why not allow it to be installed on the iPad as-is? Let users choose between iPadOS for the tablet experience, or macOS for the "full" experience.

Of course just saying this out loud sounds ridiculous considering that Apple is Apple but hey, we can dream. :)

Well, OpenSSH for example is an OpenBSD project, so it's not like nobody uses their stuff.
I think that's probably the wrong answer. I'm the age my dad was when he died. He took retirement because he was told he "deserved" it even though he loved his teaching job. He was a raging alcoholic and smoker. He just sort of faded away and died within a year.

I haven't needed to work for the last 20 years. But I'm always learning new things (hard things, that I'm not good at), starting businesses, mentoring people, doing physical activity that just plain hurts because I've got arthritis, taking care of handicapped kids... pushing myself both cognitively and physically every goddamn day. If there's ever a reason to go upstairs, I run up there. I don't put it off. I do all the housework even though I don't like it.

I might drop dead of a heart attack tomorrow. But studies show that people who just keep grinding and moving forward tend to live longer and lead happier lives. I bet a lot of those studies are poorly designed bullshit. But to me they also comport with common sense.
> It's not a large stretch to see some overlap between allowing macOS features on a large screen mobile device.

It is in fact a rather large stretch. macOS allowing the larger targets of iPad applications is a rather different proposition than macOS's rather small targets being on touch devices.

We actually designed the Timescale License to be _less_ restrictive than AGPL. It contains no virality. It just prevents public clouds from offering TimescaleDB-aaS.
I would pay the same price for a monitor in the same case with the M1 replaced for some thunderbolt controller-thing.

Really hope Apple will return the more normal end of display offerings, haven't found any alternatives with ""retina"" DPI from other manufacturers (except the LG Fine models...).
I love this comment. I think we should ask this more often. If someone displays obvious red flags on a short term commitment, then it is worth moving on just becaust a long term commitment is very likely to be a miserable experience with much more at stake. Life is too short to constantly be trying to not get backstabbed by your co-workers or employer.
I don't know what Apple is doing behind the scenes here, but if I were Apple, I would generate much more "signal" from "this AirTag is traveling with this one person that is not its owner" than from "this AirTag is traveling with forty people that are not its owner".
Wow, I will have to try this! Thanks for the tip.
Might as well be running MacOS with those specs
> And even if users don’t have an iOS device, an AirTag separated from its owner for an extended period of time will play a sound when moved to draw attention to it.

I think there is no way to disable that feature, and that's by design.

Depends on how much distance is "separation" I guess, and how close you stick to your dog at all times, heh.
That's why it's advertised as "find things that got lost" product, and not "find things that got stolen" product (eg. lojack).
If the founders had a history of creating many successful companies, maybe I would humor them and have a lawyer review their NDA. Otherwise I would discard it and never look back. That is just my own preference based on my own experience. Opinions will vary.
> If they want a full time job, they need to elevate themselves

This suggestion only makes sense until it doesn't. Suppose everyone actually took that advice. Then you'd have an entire population of overqualified people who cannot find jobs that are appropriate to their skill level and who still have to take crappy jobs. Paradoxically, maybe even you are one of them. Then what?

Now consider that this upleveling actually does happen for many people, and yet the issue of risk of financial ruin continues to exist for the bottom rungs in perpetuity.

Also, the point about deserving feels a bit myopic. Does someone deserve to be so poor that their family ends up resorting to tax funded programs like unemployment benefits, or worse, they turn to stealing, landing in jail and imposing a $40k tax burden per head on the rest of the population?

If the money flows from big corps to privileged highly paid workers pockets to the IRS to govt-run programs, why not just route the money directly to the less privileged so govt programs are less needed in the first place? The status quo is really not that different from Omelas[0]

They haven't updated their accessory page (yet?). Hopefully this keyboard is available to buy separately.
Seriously. The thing that still bites me the most is that "Share" functionality of files continues to be broken in certain apps.

For example, I frequently need to save a PDF from my Google Drive app either to my local Files or the Books app. But both those options are just... missing from the iOS share sheet, even though Acrobat is there. So I have to share to Acrobat, then share to Files or Books from within Acrobat. Bizarre.

The problem is some kind of combination of file type plus application -- Gmail will let me share a PDF straight to Files or Books just fine.

Or sometimes when you open a PDF in Books from another app it saves it to Books as a copy... but in other cases it opens it in-place. So you think you copied a bunch of things into Books to read on the airplane... and then they're not there.

The fact that there's never any indication whether something is being copied or not, and that apps that support a filetype are simply arbitrarily missing from some share sheets (but not all), makes iPadOS just a disaster for any serious work that spans multiple apps.
> ipadOS has pointer support

Yes, but it does not mandate a pointer.

> the preferred way to do pointer interactions on macOS seems to be touchpads (not mice), so the gap is definitely not as large anymore.

A touchpad is a pointer device with a similar level of precision and interaction as a mouse. One completely unlike touch.
Yeah but I would really be interested in listening to the comments here as peoples voices rather than just text. It's not a bad idea. Like the whatsapp voice notes but for comments.
Shanties continue to be a mental-health pillar since I became a parent. While I barely played Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, I was impressed by the music and learned many of those chanteys to sing while pushing the stroller or walking to work. Something I heard on NPR around 2010 said when times are tough (2008 recession) we tend to listen to music with a steady beat and no surprises.

My wife and I almost went to a pub in St. Paul, MN for their monthly shanty night but opted not to because of a statement on their webpage to the effect of “if you can’t sing in tune, we don’t want you.” One of the best things about Concordia Language Villages is the use of song to get everyone forming the sounds; no one is singled out, and it really lowers the barrier to trying. Some other cultures expect everyone to sing, doesn’t matter how “good” because it’s something we do together and it is healthy. Together we’ll improve.
