This is bogus:

1) the person trying to steal your passwords has to first have access to your Mac.
2) he then ran some app to get your passwords...I’m guessing all this app does is enter your Mac’s password for the keychain items automatically and then extracts them and displays them all in a list, so, again, back to 1).
3) you can also lock keychain so that it has to be opened with a password, so they’d need not only your Mac’s password, but keychain’s password...this is not the default for keychain.

My smart TV is Roku. Not bad at all. Only thing I use my Apple TV for now is AirPlay and watching Apple keynotes.

Your Apple TV is a 3rd generation or older? ATV 4th gen. & newer are way better than any Roku I’ve used.

Nice article, but, I have one thing that I have to comment on:

“

The main image is a home screen from the current 11-inch iPad Pro. The two devices have slightly different dimensions. The original iPad was 9.56 inches by 7.47 inches and the 2018 model is 9.74 inches by 7.02 inches. 

However, look at the inset image. That's the home screen of an original iPad and it's rendered here to scale...”

THIS IS NOT TO “SCALE”, this shows pixels, not scale. The original iPad had a 9.7” screen, the icons were the same size, but had less pixels. This pic makes it seem like screen size was changed greatly, when it’s pixel density that has changed, (and color, etc.).

to show the difference it would be better to show a portion of the screen enlarged...while the icons are the same size, the pixel density and color has been much improved. The original iPad had a screen resolution of 1024x768, a standard you’d find on many 15” or 17” monitors, so the pixel density was improved, but, not as much as retina screens, which came with the 3rd generation iPad.

Own the iPad mini 4. If the mini 5 comes with just processor update and Apple Pencil support, it will not be compelling enough for me to update for my use. Basicall reading and checking emails.

I went from iPad mini 4 to iPad Pro 9.7...you’d be surprised how much faster the A9X or A10 (or better) processor makes the iPad over the A8 in the Mini 4...and surely they’ll have A11 or A12 in 5th gen. I found I used my (older) Mac less and my iPad more, just for general tasks, not specialized apps...and then you can do so much more with apps also. I’d jump on an iPad Mini with A11 or newer processor (with laminated anti-glare screen).

So that single model number perhaps refers to iPod Touch?

ipod Touch & iPad Mini both have A8 processors, 2018 iPad A10, what are your guesses on new processor?

i think the iPad 9.7, iPad Mini 5th gen., and iPod touch will all have A11...thoughts?
