@davemark Apple's keyboard will be virtual. People who can't learn to touch type on a bare table or in the air will have to get the new Apple Vision Air glasses that will also be foldable - just like my current glasses.
@davemark I don't think Apple will make a foldable-screen Mac. iPad, maybe. iOS (/iPadOS) already adapts from tall and narrow to wide, so it makes sense that iOS apps would be able to run folded (iPhone form factor) or open (iPad).
I think Macs will continue to be computers, not touch-first interface. Or at the very least, a traditional single screen and physical keyboard clamshell model will continue to be offered.
Copy/paste keeping source formatting by default... Seriously, who ever thought this was a good idea and how did this persist so long on so many platforms?
@metallcorn@bart sorry I'm used to ctrl-c / ctrl-v for so many years, the extra feature should be another key combo
For example when I copy lines from VScode to a mail, the rest of what I type after it also has a black background, but I only see that if I'm not using dark mode on the email client. No I'm not going to change every incoming mail to plain text either.
Want paste with formatting, make that ctrl-shift-v
Costco had #Apple#AirTags on sale. Having never used one, I decided to buy a couple. I now have two smooth, round things on my desk that apparently don't stick or attach to anything without additional hardware, that I guess I can... put in a box that I might lose? Not really sure I understand this product.
Even if they stuck to things, they're way too big to put on an AirPods case, way too expensive to attach to groceries, and so on. I could put one in my suitcase... except I don't travel that often and only take hand luggage when I do.
Note that I'm not looking for "why did you buy it if you didn't know what it was?" responses. I'm not complaining about the money spent, which was my choice, only saying that I don't understand the utility.
@jscholes They're great to put in a bag if you're a bag-carrying person like I am. Wallets too. You can attach them to a keychain or keyring. People who own a vehicle often put one there, in case it gets stolen or even to find it when parked.
The Judge presiding over my US Dept. of #Labor Office of Administrative Law Judges CERCLA/Superfund whistleblower case against #Apple just issued an Order granting me permission to Amend my Complaint to propose #RCRA and Clean Air Act retaliation, and additional adverse actions!!!
I have 14 days to file my proposed Amended Complaint, & the Judge gave me a hard page limit & specific formatting rules - but he's allowing me 50 pages w/out exhibits, which is generous. Apple then gets to reply & hassle me more
@mlanger Great question. It's all speculation at this point, but presumably, when and if pricing is laid out, there will be a compelling case made to shell out for AI.
TL;DR: #Apple don't care that much about your privacy (gasp); and if you don't want your router or access point's BSSID to be passively scanned by hundreds of nearby devices and sent to Apple (and #Google), append "_nomap" to its SSID.
News alerts just notified me that I'm included in a request for attorneys fees. Okay, so, back in late 2022, I was hired to serve as an expert/hybrid witness for a fraud class-action against #Apple, but when Apple found out, Apple flipped out & got me kicked off. Apple's response now to the motion mentioning me is apparently feigning amnesia & pretending they don't know who I am.
I was very excited to discover that my #whistleblower case against #Apple was featured in yet another article about how companies are not supposed to fire their employees in #retaliation for reporting crimes!
Setting aside the fact our tech has been getting smaller and thinner for decades so I don’t really understand this question, I think the larger benefit is weight.
As someone who has been using a 13” iPad Pro for ~ 80% of my daily work and play for years, every fraction of an ounce they can shed is welcome, especially since this device is designed to be held; it doesn’t just sit on a surface like a laptop.
@craiggrannell I used it handheld yesterday to read a quite long article. It isn’t a massive difference from my previous 12.9 M1, but it’s noticeable. Subtle, but welcome.
