While on my desk, I want to use my iPad Pro over Ethernet @ 1 GbE (much faster than wifi) while keeping it charging. Also, it seems that it’s not possible to prioritize Ethernet over Wireless (like we can on the Mac)1. Am I missing something? Am I the only one on earth who prefers Ethernet? Any suggestion?

  1. It seems that Wifi needs to be disabled. ↩︎

I’m generally unfazed by black Friday sales… I buy things when I need them, not because of any deals. But, this morning, I bought a Kodak slides scanner because I have hundreds of old family slides sitting in boxes. I feel sad not to spend the time to put a new life in those memories. So there you go, a new slide scanner. I’ll probably write an extensive review of it.

If you don’t know me, but especially the places where I’m sharing and for what purpose, that is the video to watch.

A new goal: about security: migrating my two-factor authentication from Authy to Apple’s Keychain / iCloud Passwords. Signing into any service when using Apple’s solution is too cool and efficient to pass.

I created my Backblaze account earlier this week to replace Dropshare Cloud. Today, I discovered that Cloudflare offers S3-compatible storage too, with a similar free tier (10 GB). Since CF is my domain name registrar, maybe I should have created my S3 bucket with them instead?1 🤔

  1. But the Dropshare client probably doesn’t yet offer a connector to CF storage. 🤷🏻‍♂️ ↩︎

This week, I discovered and experienced the joy of having my two-factor authentication PIN configured within Apple’s password management, and it is a joy to set up and use most of the time1. I’m seriously thinking of leaving Authy behind2. If only Apple had a stand-alone password.app.

  1. Having to go through Safari (Mac) or Settings (iOS) is bad. ↩︎

  2. Migrating from Authy to Apple’s solution required disabling two-factor authentication and then re-enabling it. Tedious. ↩︎
