I'd love that too, but I can see Apple wanting to maintain that segmentation.

Honestly I could probably get away with my job on ipad if there were iOS native, official*, ports of iTerm 2, git, and vs code. And slack. Slack is probably on iOS already. *yes, I've already seen every hacky port job that you're getting ready to link to

Slack already has a first party iOS app. Code is getting a web-based version (currently in preview) which probably integrates tightly with GitHub, not sure about other git providers.

Apart from the cringe of picking it up at an Apple store... so far so good. Installing iPadOS 15 now and drat I had no idea that the 11" pro was so light. Looks amazing as well.

At another company between O365 stuff, Prompt2 (ssh client), Jump Desktop (RDP/VNC client) and a VPN I was able to do about 99% of anything work-related on my iPad. It was nice when I wanted roam from my home office out to the porch or even the family room couch. What I'd really like is a native PyCharm client to remotely work on the workstation I use to develop my hacky little automation scripts.

I was poking through my App Store purchases and I realized I have both Bully and GTA:SA and I feel like I could play thru them again on the new iPad Air Can I just connect a xbone controller over Bluetooth or do I need a special apple certified controller to play them?

Was able to play a bit of Genshin Impact with a PS4 controller too, via bluetooth. I think it's up to the game whether or not it'll actually be supported though.

I dunno I ordered a new iPad online last week, walked into the store the next day gave them my name and order number, they said “go wait over there”, a person brought me my iPad like 3 minutes later and I left  I was also in a very busy store so maybe it varies? It seemed pretty simple to me

At least it has been for various stores I've picked up orders in over the years in the Chicago area. Show up, give them your name and show the Q-Code for them to scan. They disappear in the back, come out with your stuff. Have you finger sign on their iPad Mini/iPod Touch, they ask if you want a printed receipt or email and then you leave.

I hated the Apple store back when my social anxiety was worse since you had to ask a random worker to go get something and I couldn’t decide which one to bother with the wad of cash I had. Its no problem these days though

They fixed the who to ask problem by paying someone to watch people enter and help direct them. It also functions as a checkin/queue when it's busy.

Maybe placing the multitasking icon at the EXACT SAME SPOT as the Live Photo toggle when editing a photo, making it impossible to turn off the live-news of a photo, is a poor design choice.

Felt too "americanized". I'm not in the US, so the US style customer service feels odd. I kind of understand this. I didn't feel it was 'cringey' but I definitely felt odd. I live in a city in SE Asia where good customer service usually is an unenthusiastic 'how can I help you' and the typical is ignoring you followed by almost an air of personal offense when you go and ask for something. The first time I went to an Apple store I had a guy bounding over to me with a great big smile and asking me what he could do for me like I was about to make his day and it was definitely weird as we both knew we both grew up here and that is not how we usually Do This. I doubt Apple gives their salespeople anything approaching a decent commission, certainly nothing to be overjoyed about, which meant he had to behave this way. Poor chap. I think this sort of thing varies region to region and isn't really 'US style customer service' but more how non-US people might imagine US style customer service to be, because for example the below: hatty posted:I hated the Apple store back when my social anxiety was worse since you had to ask a random worker to go get something and I couldn’t decide which one to bother with the wad of cash I had. Its no problem these days though is much more indicative of how I would expect a store to work. Go in, have a browse, and when I'm ready I'll go and find somebody. I was pleasantly surprised when I bought my dad an ipad pro and keyboard that they didn't try to sell me too hard on apple care+ which I took anyway because he is very clumsy with his coffee.

Walking out of an apple store with something I bought on the app always makes me super nervous, like I should expect to be stopped because I just walked out with merchandise without interacting with anyone. It’s obviously in my head but every time I do it I must look like the most anxious shoplifter ever, walking out of that store.

Just gave Jump a try with my windows desktop and a Bluetooth mouse on my old air. It was remarkably good and I think that kind of guarantees I won’t be buying another laptop. Just hoping by the time I’m there that the cases with hinges are nice and affordable.

Question Mark Mound posted:I remember when the "buy it yourself with the app" stuff first came in asking an employee what's to stop someone just pretending they're scanning a thing and then walking off without paying and the answer was basically "people are generally honest and don't steal stuff" yeah randos shoplifting is like largely a non-issue in retail, generally speaking, vs poo poo like employees shoplifting. And hell, retailers performing wage and time theft of their employees (often in the name of “preventing shoplifting” as Apple did for many years until 2020) by subjecting them to things like unpaid searches, exit checkpoints, etc is a substantially bigger economic grab than their losses of inventory to theft. Like in the Apple Store example, people would have to wait like 30-60 minutes sometimes while everybody’s bags and coats were checked, and not getting paid for it. And this was a nightly thing. IIRC there was a lawsuit filed, which is what ended the practice. The allegation was that Apple was taking way more in unpaid overtime than they could ever lose from a store worker pocketing some earbuds or whatever

I’m sure they can afford to lose a couple headphones.”
