sage advice. although if you are developer and you don’t know this you should really be changing jobs. If you are a developer and complain about betas ruining you data you should be fired.

If you're a self-employed developer... 🤔

Apple's advice to developers is to have a device dedicated to development, and install on that, not a primary use device. 

There are some bugs that really only exhibit themselves on a primary use device. Some developers will install a beta on a primary use device in order to find and report those bugs, but they choose to do so, knowing the risks.

As opposed to non-developer people I know personally who install betas because they want the shiny new feature, and ask me, "what do you think about installing the beta?" "That's a bad idea, Lou." (a week passes) "So, I installed the beta. It's fine. I don't know why they don't release it to everyone right now. You know what I think? I think you and they are just trying to keep a hype cycle going." "OK, Lou."

And it happens every year. Which is why we run an article like this, every year.

Here is a geometry problem. Apple use to be… “The round pegs in the square holes…” Apple Park is round… and the Triangle is not a square hole!

Man, have you seen the squares around here? Citrix, Cisco, IBM, Lenovo, and if you go back in time, Nortel. Squaresville. (Yes, I'm not mentioning the nascent startup scene.)

Putting it in RTP certainly makes it easier for Tim and Eddy to visit Duke. Duke and UNC-CH both have excellent medical schools, which dovetails with their medical plans, and NCSU, UNC, and Duke all have strong engineering programs. People: The Triangle is not a corridor. It has I-40 running through it as a corridor, but Durham, Raleigh, and Chapel Hill geographically are not a corridor.

That's too bad. Though, really... I think it's been about six months since I last looked at the Vevo app on my Apple TV, so...

...boasts a bunch of technology that is completely obviated by CarPlay (SD, CD/DVD, SiriusXM)...

Before I had kids I thought the DVD was on its way out. Let me tell you: It's not. Sure, you could rip them and maybe use CarPlay show video on a second and/or third screen... but I don't think you can ever anticipate which DVD to rip (and do you really want to rip them all?).

I'm the opposite, I kept and built up a wee collection of DVDs for my kids, even bought a bluray player for my son's room... They're NEVER watched - anything they would want to watch a movie on has access to netflix/primevideo/skystore/etc.etc. even when we go out in the campervan I can download a few films and tv series onto the 128gb ipad for them - or just watch over 4G as it has an unlimited data simcard (£10 per month, we get epic cheap data in uk)

Many of the CarPlay head units have DVD drives built into them, have HDMI ports on the back if you want to use other inputs, and have second-third display output if you have the screens in the ceiling or headrests. Options!
