I love the new plug-ins for Micro.blog, but does it put itself on the same path as WordPress? 🤔

This blog post on Apple’s latest betas pretty much sums it up for me. More to come in my own blog post about my own experience.

More than 1500 words to talk about going all in with Apple’s latest betas on my main devices. Your experience may vary but mine if mostly very good so far. Don’t do that at home, please.

Ten years ago today: Antennagate. Remember? It was an intense episode in Apple’s history. I didn’t own an iPhone 4. At that time, I was using my 3GS. I upgrade to the iPhone 4S in 2011. Time certainly flies. www.cultofmac.com/492086/to… Continue reading →

Here is a brilliant idea. My hope is for Apple to notice. twitter.com

Because of newly introduced folders support in iOS 14 Shortcuts, I made a spring cleanup. Now I’m down to what I actually need and use. #ios14 #apple

With iPadOS 14, Apple mades a lot of improvements to the Calendar app which makes me reconsider the use of Readdle’s Calendar alternative. The reason is mainly because of the new Sidebar. Decision, decision, decision. #iPadOS14

Good insights by Federico Viticci of MacStories about iPadOS 14. One theme stands out: with iPadOS 14, Apple is no longer taking it’s inspiration from the iPhone but from macOS to push the iPad in its very distinct path. Exhibit A: the Sidebar in applications like Music, Photos, Files. Exhibit B: the redesigned Search bar. Still to be improved, though: multitasking. Next year. www.macstories.net/stories/t… Continue reading →

When I talk about this virus to my kids, my recurring message is the fact that this is not like the flu, far from it.

Something fascinating and disturbing about COVID-19 and the US: everything that makes the US what they are is making them weak against this virus. #livefreeordie #againstthefed

Dear Apple, please, oh please, allow us to move around our many screens in this view. Thank you.

Welcome to iOS 14 beta 2. 👨🏻‍💻🤷🏻‍♂️ But I love it. Very stable on iPad. 😎 #apple #ipados14

Woah, that was fast. iOS 14 now entering public beta phase. Apple must feel really confident. So am I. Installing on 11” iPad Pro. www.macrumors.com/2020/07/0…

One of the unexpected side effect of Apple introducing widgets in iOS 14 is that I’m reconsidering my stance against big iPhone like iPhone 11 Pro Max.. when widgets invade our landscape this fall, we may find the iPhone 11 screen too small for all of them. If Apple was willing to add the same flexibility to the iPad it would be another matter, though. Continue reading →

Already? VMware Fusion Tech Preview now supports macOS Big Sur. twitter.com/vmwarefus…

If you think not wearing a face mask is a free ride, think again. More than $ 330 Billions deficit for Canada because of the pandemic.

I’m one of those who was thinking discreet GPU would provide much better performance. When watching Apple’s transition to Apple Silicon, I asked myself about discreet GPU options in future Macs. This article goes on to report that not only integrated GPU (thanks to SoC) will be faster, it could be easier to support and help Apple reduce costs. Apple never offered discreet GPU in iPad Pro. Why would it be different with Apple Silicon-based Mac? Continue reading →

Excellent visual comparison between macOS Catalina and Big Sur (see link below). Here are a few observations: Big Sur design is a step back in clrity in many areas. Ex.: Icons and segmented controls in top portion of windows. More padding around items lists. I’m not sure why. I prefer Catalina’s version. Dark Mode is slightly better looking in Big Sur. Battery panel in Settings is horrible. Gone are popup alerts at the top of windows, they now look to be centered within window content and movable. Continue reading →

iOS 14 is a massive update in regards to privacy protection. I love that! #apple #ios14 #privacy twitter.com/kuba_sude…
