Fellow Mac nerds, I need your help. I’ve had a problem created on a Fusion Drive due to a failed Boot Camp installation, see https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/464086/how-to-recover-free-space-on-a-late-2013-imac-fusion-drive-after-failed-boot-c

I need help fixing the drive as outlined in my linked stack exchange post. #Catalina #MacOS10.15.7 #BootCamp

Police water cannons are yet again turned on the scientists. Today an estimated 10,000 peaceful protestors in the Hague, are demonstrating against Dutch government subsidies to the fossil fuel industry, totalling at least 37.5 billion euros a year.

Good thoughts, Warner. No Goldilocks device, so use the one(s) that are most ideal. Tablet, laptop, or both.

The baseline is a smartphone (iPhone especially, hence the annual keynote reveal anticipation). I've used a laptop or tablet as my "main/only PC" over the years, but the smartphone persists. So even if Vision Pro is the new "future of computing," I doubt it'll supplant the smartphone.

The iPad Mystery That Really Isn’t a Mystery

With new iPhones about to be released why is everyone talking about iPads?

iPad Is Not A Laptop

Lordy my worlds are all spinning out and bumping into each other today.

Almost feels like an intersection of the arts and technology.

Theatre and iPads.

The one I make a living at. The other I use to do so.

1/2 I have deactivated my account on Twitter (X), which began in 2007. Under Elon Musk, Twitter has not only decided to stop blocking bigots and liars and pro-insurrectionists, it has actively welcomed them, with apparent support from Mr. Musk.

Hey, it looks like my @swiftconfto video is out! Here we go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tJ474kjGrc

Assuming this is technically possible, it’s a great idea.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but passkeys are a *replacement* for passwords — a step up in usability and security over passwords synced in a password manager. Passkeys are not phone-based security keys, or some other easy-to-lose, device-bound credential.

I’m on an absolute stock app binge right now.

Calendar app is the prettiest calendar app on the App Store right now, minus its icon.

Notes is uber-powerful.

Mail has these subtly hidden powers with really simple, clean design.

Even the Weather app on the iPad has become a top notch weather app.

I’ve become easily the most boring app user on the planet.

Next @appleinsider podcast all about the Wonderlust #AppleEvent, hand-crafted and edited on iPad mini, is out now for subscribers! Out everywhere tomorrow:

A brand new episode with the rare two guests is out now!!

The episode page features the first transcript for the podcast created with Transcriptionist the upcoming app by Wooji Juice.

I had a great chat with Michael and Matthew Daley about running their business in South Africa from the iPad Pro. We cover tons of topics and discuss in depth the impact of external monitor support and the improved Stage Manager has had on their work with iPadOS 17.

The iPad discussion is all about moving goal posts and hand wavy things. In other words, it’s about framing and context. But it’s also about fluff. Let’s start with the fluff. It’s kinda like cotton candy. Sweet and interesting at first but not a lot there when you really bite into it.

A few days ago Jason Snell, wrote his latest on how the iPad has been failing him. And, predictably, a host of prominent pundits chimed in. ... https://beardystarstuff.net/2023/08/31/the-ipad-discussion.html

On this day six years ago, I flew from Albuquerque, NW by way of Northern California (long story) to #Portland #Oregon in search of a possible new home for me and my family.

Despite some wildfire smoke and summer heat, to me it felt like paradise. We moved here not long thereafter, and the rest is history.

I truly feel like a different person by being here. You move to a new place hoping it will shape you in some new and encouraging way, and that certainly happened. Thank you Portland! 🤩
