When I finally pull the trigger, a new 13" iPad Pro w/ 16GB RAM, keyboard & stylus is gonna cost me €3,107. It would be by far the most powerful computer I own.

That's more than twice as much as what I paid for the Mac mini I do all my development on. It even beats out my high-end gaming PC whose GPU alone was €1800.

All of that goes to waste because it’s paired with a simplified, stripped-down OS using the same technology stack and limitations as a $300 Netflix device for your grandparents

@stroughtonsmith MacOS and iPadOS need to be aligned so that you can just switch between them at the flick of a button on the same device - each an interface to the same underlying OS and file management system.

How China is tearing down Islam
This is a remarkable investigation by the FT on how China is tearing down mosques or altering them by removing domes and minarets and replacing them with pagodas and other Han Chinese symbols. https://ig.ft.com/china-mosques/
