  • The best new features in macOS Monterey that you'll actually use

    New feature I would actually use:  Put back the scroll arrows.
    New 'features' I won't use:  Most of this list.
    Full screen is useful for ONE thing:  Playing videos. 
    I don't really care about Safari.  The purpose of Safari is to download Firefox.
    I also don't really use FaceTime. 
    The new AirPlay feature won't be useful to me for many years. 
    I absolutely LOATHE hot corners,
    I'll be looking for a way to make that quick note thing never happen. 

    Scroll arrows? That’s so 1990. Good riddance. 
    I use full screen all the time. Makes the most of the real estate. Full screen on the obsolete Apple Aperture was a revelation. More please!
    I like Firefox. I prefer Safari, and it’s on all my devices, and it’s getting much better. 
    FaceTime is great! Better tech than the competition. It’s how I keep in touch with family. 
    Airplay will be great when I’m back to teaching in class. I can beam something from my iPad to an iMac. 
    Hot corners? Jeepers, I use them all the time. 
    Notes is my goto jotting app. I use it every day. It replaces Evernote that wasn’t getting any better.

    Heck, how do you know that XYZ-VPN isn't a NSA front???
    That's a valid point, but I'm more worried about some of them being CCP or CCCP fronts. Remember who has nukes pointed at you.

    Remember who collects taxes from you, and has people in congress representing you? That’s where you have a say.

  • US vaccine donation to Taiwan may help avoid chip factory shutdowns

    Alex_VAlex_V
    By the way. Both China and Taiwan did extraordinarily well to mitigate the spread of Covid. Hats off to them! However, Taiwan especially is in a bind. While they managed to keep the disease out and did not have a lockdown, the rest of the world screwed up, so the disease keeps finding a way in. Therefore, they have to vaccinate their population anyway. That’s why we must vaccinate the world. None are safe unless all are safe.

    Trouble is not from Beijing. Taiwan is the trouble maker. Notice it politicizing the vaccine donation event?

    You’re first out of the blocks accusing Taiwan of being a “trouble maker.” Welcome to the forum dear member of the Chinese Communist Party!
    Well, well, well! Are you a member of Taiwan's DPP? The truth of the fact is when China shutdown Wuhan Jan 23, 2020, many Taiwanese wants to help China fighting the virus. But DPP government forbid them to send face masks to mainland China. Then when Covid-19 broke out in US during March 2020, DPP gave face masks to US saying "Taiwan can help". Isn't this very political?

    I’m not Chinese nor Taiwanese. Not even close. Taiwan needs vaccines. Let’s hope they get them. Stop politicising everything.
