Should you upgrade to the 2020 iPad Pro?
Right now I have the 2015 iPad pro 12.9. Used mostly for content consumption it didn't live up to my expectations as a effective laptop replacement. Like you I do a lot of photography with a 46MP sensor camera. Right now I'm in South TX for a 4 day shoot. I will be ordering a 12.9" 1TB model when I get back. My expectation is use LR on the iPad keeping one copy on the iPad, exporting a copy to a 2TB SSD for backup. Replacing my laptop on the road. It will be a more awkward workflow, but I won't have to be dragging around the MacBook Pro + all the required paraphernalia. If it works out I'll be retiring my laptop. Using the ipad on the road, and desktop at home.MIke

Panicked selling of AAPL lets Apple buy back billions cheaply

Mike, there's this new invention called "telephone". It's very cool. You can talk to people miles away; sometimes even in another city. Soon, you will be able to speak to your grandson who is 3 states away. Actually, Apple makes a few of these new amazing devices; they call it iPhone.mdirvin said:The whole trick is timing. I bought a bit early Dec. 2018, but still made over 450K. I'm thinking its still a bit early we have several more legs down, maybe. Who really knows you just take your best guess and go with it. I would ask my 3 year old grandson but he's a few states over right now. I could get as good of advice from him as I any of the "Experts".MikeThanks for the timely advice. I did give him a call just after he finished his morning nap. He suggested I hold off for a another month for the smoke to clear.Mike

Allegations of discrimination spawn investigation into Apple Card credit lines
I really don't think there is much to be seen here. It all boils down to credit score. Who know what each has as a score, or why. Apple doesn't determine the score. Both my wife and I have over 100K instant credit, and have had for decades. We have never even come close to using it, and pay off our card balance each month. Since we have shown that we can handle credit responsibly it increases our score. If we were younger without a proven history of being able to manage credit it would be a bad thing. We both have FICO scores in the upper 800's. We both have the same limit 20k, and the same rate 12.74%. This is all a dog and pony show for a limited amount of time until there is something else to hype on. Both of us have kept our own credit line. She has had her own cards, loans etc.. in her name. I have always had my cards, loans, etc.. in my name so we each would have our own credit history. I would suspect that is coming into play here everything had been in his name.

macOS Catalina 10.15.1 is now available with opt-in Siri review, support for AirPods Pro
I have the exact same Internet issue on my MacBook Pro 2018 after updating it to MacOS Catalina 10.15.1!
I may a solution for you. If you are running Intego Netbarrier go to the Netbarrier preferences and turn it off. That worked on my iMac Pro, and my wife's iMac. I had tried safe mode but that didn't make any difference I'm not sure why. Something got changed via the update, now I'll have to wait until there is a fix either from Apple or Intego before I turn it back on. Shame on me for all my bad thoughts.
Mike
