    Once the M# chip(s) support dual monitors, I'm all in.
    Apple Silicon has always supported dual displays. With the Mini, it is two monitors, everything else, it is the built in display plus a monitor.

  • Automations in macOS Big Sur can migrate to Shortcuts in macOS Monterey

    Easy automation on the Mac is needed. Tasks such as delete mail from x people that is y days or older is complicated.

  • WWDC expected to bring Safari, Health, Maps, iMessage improvements

    Bring health to the desktop and make it easier to analyze and send to the doctor. 

    Allow Bitmoji and other apps to work seamlessly with Messages on the desktop. 

    Maps? Allow easy downloading of States so areas with no or little cell service can still use maps to view and route.

    Apple has been making it more and more difficult not to upgrade. Good in some ways, in other it appears to just be an arbitrary move 

    Siri features that don’t work if your phone is not the same version as your HomePod, simply bot seeing devices in HomeKit, requiring later OS’s to run updated Apps. The old iWork suite is a big and constant criminally bad offender for this. 

    But it’s working and achieving this uniformity they are after. 

    I do wish they would tone it down in some areas. 
    What crime does Apple commit by pushing people to upgrade? Siri is partly based on the phone and does some processing there. Why do you think features will be the same when you are not upgraded? Apple isn’t getting paid to push upgrades and there is new features, privacy and security updates with new upgrades. Apple is pushed by security researchers and users to keep their devices with the best security and privacy they can. Users have to upgrade to get that however.

  • Apple now tells users to unpair Apple Watch Series 3 before updating

    I’m sorry but S3 GPS was a mistake. It doesn’t just work with updates and they should not be selling it. Even striping it down to Apple apps doesn’t give enough storage space free to update. You have to go through and delete EVERYTHING and every app including Apple Apps you can. Screen broke on it, so we upgraded to a 6. Very glad to be rid of it.
