I just updated to 13.4 and paired a first gen track pad.  I don’t have the tap-to-click option in my settings.  Not sure if that got dropped in the full release or if it’s a hardware limitation of either the trackpad or my 6th gen iPad.  

Oh, and the lack of two fingered scrolling renders the trackpad pretty much useless.  Gonna go digging through my goodie box for an old Bluetooth mouse. 

Beyond the thermal, electrical, and ‘owning the whole stack’ benefits of ARM over Intel, I wonder what the basic price differential would be between the two in terms of licensing and manufacturing costs.  Not that I would expect that an ARM machine would cost $X less than an intel equivalent, but Apple would have $X more to play with in it’s total package for things like battery, display quality etc. 

Long ago, encryption was limited to governments and military due to the extreme cost and complexity of hardware encryption devices (ie enigma).  Spies had rudimentary encryption like substitution cyphers, which tripped up authorities but with enough effort, they could be cracked,  This is what authorities want to go back to, but nowadays military grade encryption is a commodity available to the masses.  The genie is out of the proverbial bottle.  A rudimentary home written app can have the same level of security as the NSA.  Once the big services like iMessage and Facebook messenger are forced into having a back door, Government and the military will write their own secure messaging applications to keep their communication secure, but so will the terrorists and criminals.  What you will be left with is the ability of both governments and criminals to spy on innocent people while neither will be able to spy on the other.  

Google denies any infringement, but then said they were in negotiations with Sonos.  Doesn’t negotiating a deal over IP kind of imply your infringing???

Was AT&T involved in the branding???  It smacks of 5GE.
