ProMotion is really nice.

Relatedly, how are iPads with photoshop/image manipulation programs? I have some really old photos of some fond memories and I think I can get around to doing them now because I won’t have to make pinpoint moves with a mouse anymore.

Pencil is great but the software is still miles behind desktop. Probably fine for photo restoration though.

Lightroom is legitimately good on an iPad. That's mostly sliders and a little bit of mask painting though. But I really like it.

Notably missing some key features that would really matter for restoration though, especially super resolution. I can edit about 90% on Lightroom IPad with synced smart previews, but there's always something I have to go back to Classic on the desktop for.

Is this happening to anyone else? When I tap any folder on the taskbar, it no longer blurs / covers the entire screen. Is this a bug on my device? It seems to ugly to be a feature.



Yes, but they fixed it in the latest 16.2 beta.

Oh no
Is this correct?

If you aren’t interested in the camera or 5G, the only difference between the Air 4th gen and Air 5th gen is the processor?

Well, yeah, but processor and screen are probably the two most important components in an iPad.

it's an iPad Pro that's faster than all the previous models - that's given.

I use it as much as I've used all my other iPads, this one's just heavier.

if you've had an iPad before, this one won't change your life.

Always searching for North.
Has anybody else tried the T-Mobile $10 for 5 GB for 150 days plan and had it just... not cut off when you hit your limit? I've checked the account to make sure it wasn't showing another charge or auto-renew or anything like that, and it's been several days since I hit 5 GB. (I also tried downloading a 10 GB test file to make sure it wasn't just the data tracking being a little bit off.)

Cellular Plan info in the iPad settings shows 0 bytes left on the plan, but it keeps going just fine.

I'm certainly not complaining, it's just weird.

I've had an animated Clock icon on my Android for years, and it's not a widget. The Calendar app shows the correct date as well!

it was made by htc as a part of senseui and they used it on both their winmo and android devices. they tried really hard to not make winmo suck rear end on touchscreens…
it was popular enough that basically everyone else made their own version of it, and iirc the early android market days there were a ton of widgets just straight up ripping those assets.

Early HTC android and winmo5 had spb software in the stock image(at least in my locale), touchflo/senseui were done years later. I think I considered it a cool value add compared to my i-mate of that era.

Does anyone have good iPad Pro case recommendations? I spent $10 on some smartfolio case thing, total knockoff. The stand function is great, but I feels like absolute dookie to hold, especially in bed when I have to worry about the back flap moving around. Ideally I could find some slim hardback case with a little built in stand instead of the folding folio thing, but it doesn’t seem like such a thing exists.
