Despite Thunderbolt, iPad to Mac communication is still a mess

Sidecar is enabled by Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
You can verify this by switching the cable from your MBP to a power adapter. -

Wristcam review: The most feature-complete Apple Watch accessory to date
datumax said:Wow they finally shipped. Good on them for not giving up given they were years past their proposed crowdfunding campaign ship date. I doubted the CMRA team and wound up getting my refund in 2018 I think.While I was waiting, I realized just how fast Apple moves, and how far ahead they are of other product companies. That had to make it difficult for this team to time their release, given how often the hardware and software specs change or are rumored to. It will be interesting to see how long the team takes to respond to a new Apple Watch form factor. Given the rumors of a thinner, flat edged model coming soon, this might have been their last chance to ship before having to hit the drawing board again.But yeah, good review.
I would imagine Apple is very reluctant to change the size of the band connector given the massive number of existing bands on the market. Don't forget that they increased the watch screen sizes yet kept the exact same connector. Much the same reason that the iPhone won't switch to USB-C, even if it has some advantages over Lightning — it would just upset a lot of loyal customers who are devoted to (and heavily invested in) a market leading product. Don't be surprised if a completely redesigned Apple Watch still fits all of the legacy bands. -

2021 Apple TV 4K Review: Seeking a blockbuster, given a Band-Aid
Mike Wuerthele said:jwdawso said:Another Neil article where he has no clue who AI and Apple customers are.For instance, if you think that, then you think that nearly the entire Apple user base wants a Mac mini tower, with PCI and PCI-E storage. The reality is, almost nobody outside the "core" AI readership gives a single crap about it. In fact, most prefer thin and light everything, instead of the constant cry that we get here for a shitload of ports, and thick to support that.
Reviews like this have to appeal and apply to the larger audience, and not just the AI "core." Related to this, we've turned off comments on tips, because of ridiculous comments like "Why did you write this, this is obvious" -- when it really isn't to most.The AI "core" is 30% of our total readership, and dropping, as Apple's reach grows and we grow in readership. We're not abandoning that core, but there is zero chance we're going to ignore the other 70%.
The new hardware is a borderline non-update, aside from the remote.
