Coming from a 2018 11-inch iPad Pro it will prove to be a massive update for me.
-
I guess, I’ll have to go with the 11-inch 1TB configuration to get the nano display option and 16 GB of RAM. Oh well. One life to live.
-
So, there are no “erasure” mode for the Apple apensil Pro?
-
Nano glass option only available on 1TB & 2 TB configs. This is so Apple. 🤔☹️#appleevent

I’ll be watching the event after all, right from the Deck 10! Have a good one to you all! #appleevent

I rarely do and share selfies! But here’s one. Walking on the “Promenade des anglais” in Nice, France.

I find it hard to save time for blogging while traveling. There is always so much to do that I kind of forget about writing. This post is an exception, though. 😂 we’re visiting Nice today. Been there once but it’s always fun to revisit great cities.
-
It will be a challenge for me to watch the #AppleEvent today. I guess I’ll hit Apple.com later to read about all the new stuff.

The iPad revenue share is about 6% of total. Seeing Apple continue to invest in this platform is something that I wonder if other companies would do with such a “loss leader”. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the iPad next week.

Information Architect1 is working on something that could prove to be super useful for me: shareable presentations using iA Presenter. It’s currently in testing. Judging by their blog post, it looks slick. I could build online presentations that go with The Craft Bible or The Craft Starter Kit that I’m working on. Can’t wait to try it out.

Three years later and it’s funny to remember where I came from and why I’ve migrated to Ghost for everything1, not only my newsletter.
-
Not exactly, everything, but for my main website where I share my newsletter and some other long-form posts. ↩︎

For some reason, tonight, I miss Medium. I used to love writing for it and reading from it. I still have close to 800 followers, albeit the number really never change, which I find strange.

About the Super Greedy Broadcom Company
VMware is no longer synonym of IT innovations. Now, it has because the new Microsoft of the nineties: it is about licensing costs and tricks. Let me elaborate a little bit more.
The EU is going after Apple and Google and Meta these days with fierce energy and determination. It’s all good1. But what is currently happening right now in IT world with the Broadcom merger with VMware is absolutely criminal2. Broadcom is doing some massive cleanup in the VMware house and the the list of SKU who was completely replaced with new bundles and licensing mode. For many big organisations (governmental for example), subscriptions price are simply going sky high. Many government agencies are now facing something like 3 to 10 times what they used to pay for about the same features set. It is criminal and if anything, this is something that should be looked into with more scrutiny. It is one thing that a bank is paying much more for something, but when it comes to government services, it is tax payers money. That’s quite different. We have to call it out publicly.
I wish we would talk about this more in the general press, not only in the tech field.

On AI Pin, Rabbit R1 and Apple Vision Pro.
From what I’m reading and seeing, the AI Pin and Rabbit R1 are terrible devices for potentially great AI use cases, while the Apple Vision Pro is a technology marvel device with weak use cases. The former are probably DOA because they risk lacking funding to keep the show going, while Apple’s massive resources might save the Apple Vision Pro from a complete failure.
