AirPlay? Not sure why I'd want to play video or audio on my thermostat.I'll just stick with my old Honeywell.

Google dropping Material Design in iOS to make iPhone apps look more like they should
rob53 said:"Apple's own proprietary UIKit" Interesting how you snuck that in. It's still a UIKit that's available to every developer to develop apps on iOS devices so why the dig?Because it's accurate. The Material Design system may be ugly, but at least it's open source. UIKit is proprietary.

This is the Apple Watch you should buy in 2021
Nah. Buy a series 4 or 5 in 2021. Ignore the 7 until at least 2023. Save yourself a LOT of money, buy used.

iOS developer turns vintage iMac G4 into an M1 Mac
shamino said:I love it!I wonder what model iMac he started with. The early generation models only have a 1024x768 display, which is really uncomfortable for today's macOS. But the last model supports 1680x1050.According to one article I found, it appears that the built-in display is actually DVI, using a custom connector. Which means it should be possible to replace the connector (or make an adapter) so it can connect to the M1's HDMI port. I assume this is what he actually did.What would be really cool (no idea if he's done it yet) would be to get the optical drive working. If I remember correctly, it is a parallel ATA drive. Lots of companies make adapters that will connect it to a USB port. The only real potential problem seems like it will be making the adapter fit in the case.
It's a PATA drive, but it's a completely standard desktop drive, you could easily replace it with a SATA drive if you wanted. Might as well put in a Blu-ray drive if you're going to do that.
