Significant reduces the resale value of stolen Apple products though, which makes them less of a target for theft It's always fun to read the comments section on places like fb marketplace when somebody tries to fence a locked apple product Bunch of people walking around with $1000 mobile devices every day, yet theft is almost non-existent; the lack of black market for Apple devices probably prevents less e-waste though lack of theft than your situation creates

How can I play a YouTube video but completely disable all touch inputs? I tried guided access mode but it leaves a white filter over the entire screen and I don’t want that.

Did they remove the ability to split the on screen keyboard in iOS 14? I can enable the floating keyboard but there is no option for splitting it.

Question Mark Mound posted:Wait, is that only the new Pro? Mine is the 10.5” 2017 Pro (the 2nd gen one). Sorry yes it's the 11 and 12.9 pros. Sadly I do this for a living. I didn't link the article but in the tiniest print in the world the official apple article says not available on 11 and 12.9 pros. I think I tried to get the article updated but they don't like calling attention to lack of options

I went from a 10.5 pro to a 2020 11 pro and was SO disappointed at the lack of split keyboard. Just ridiculous.

Are ipads finicky about what chargers they can use? I got a 2018 pro used the other day and it seems like out of all my usb c power bricks from chromebooks and the like only the official adapter is actually making it charge.

Not defending the lack of split keyboard on pros (the gently caress?), but I've never had a problem with the mini keyboard shoved off to the side where my thumb can use it as a swipe keyboard. The only time swipe sucks is when you're entering a lot of text that doesn't consist of real words for it to find in the dictionary.

Can't say I've had any issues with my 2020 pro. I've used a couple different Chromebook chargers I had laying around, and a couple third-party 30w+ bricks with random USB-C cables without any issues. Might be worth checking if the USB-C port has accumulated some poo poo?

I'm saying it doesn't charge because the lightning bolt doesn't come on when I'm looking at it.

OK after a minute screen off and plugged in I hear the charging sound when I turn on the screen it is indeed listed as charging. Weird it isn't instant. Thanks all for the debugging.

We're looking at getting the new iPad air 4 with the standardized USB-C charging, mostly as a "remote control for the house" for all the smart home/smart baby poo poo; I think we have two baby things now that will only work with the app - not my decision as merely the dad, but whatever. Also so we don't have to install/manage all these apps/passwords on both sets of in-laws, babysitters etc etc and nauseum, they can just pick up the pink unlocked ipad on the coffee table and immediately get to work The new iPad air 4 comes in 64 and 256gb models If I'm not planning on doing CAD or running a small business from this thing, is there any reason to shell out the extra $150 for the bigger 256gb memory thing or whatever. If we can get away with the 64gb model without too many regrets that would be awesome I think we will have 15-20 apps on the iPad and that's about it? I haven't used an ipad newer than a 2012 model that lives on our boat and it's basically incompatible with everything so no idea how much space these things use in this ecosystem anymore

Yeah you’re making a good choice here. Just make sure to double your wife’s order for yourself. Also get 256g on the third iPad.

I do computer toucher poo poo on my Thinkpad in the house; the 180° true lay flat display hinge is awesome for using on the couch. Now that apple has fixed their keyboards, the laptop display hinge is the last thing holding me back, it really does make a tremendous difference My wife mostly wants one for spreadsheets, photo and video editing etc We will probably get a third ipad for the boat when they release the mini with a USB-C port, but we're not in any rush right now (and probably neither is apple)

Have you ever sat in bed with your knees up and rested the book on your knees Basically if you fully unfold the laptop, the bottom of the laptop rests on your belt buckle/waist, and the screen sits at knee level. That's an extreme example With any Apple laptop, there's a maximum angle you can keep your knees at, because the display can only go back so far, it's very limiting to how you can sit, and still keep the screen parallel to your face. There's no real limitation with Thinkpad screen hinges. It's a small, but critical detail. My work laptop is a rMBP but I can't really use it in bed or on a lounge chair because the maximum screen angle is uncomfortable.... I will see if I can do a diagram. It's not critical, but it's a major quality of life thing, like having a larger touchpad or a good keyboard

A regular laptop where you can quickly alt tab between windows and the Stack Overflow page that you’re copying equations from is infinitely better.

A regular laptop where you can quickly alt tab between windows and the Stack Overflow page that you’re copying equations from is infinitely better. I love my iPad for most of my use cases, but I'm an accountant and I'd quit and change careers if the iPad was how I had to do spreadsheets. The small keyboards are less than ideal, Numbers is a terribly limited spreadsheet program, and Excel on iOS is okay for simple stuff but (I think) you have to have a subscription in order to edit a spreadsheet on the iPad. You can muddle your way through simple spreadsheets, but I'd think long and hard about going all-in on the iPad if you spend much time working with big, complex spreadsheets. vvvv EDIT: yeah it'll be fine for grocery lists and such, I was thinking more along the lines of business use cases Blotto_Otter fucked around with this message at 16:51 on Oct 12, 2020 |
