I got my preorder from Amazon this week. The error they reported was just the release date being too early on their records.

You probably only need the iPad. The iPad is great for giving you access to most stuff until you get home and can do the more serious work. If you absolutely must do your work away from home, get the Macbook Pro, because iPads are great, but as you mentioned, they don’t have a desktop OS, and that’s a limiting factor.
I used homebridge for a long time, but found maintaining it to be a bit of a chore. Home Assistant was easier to maintain and configure, thanks to its web-based interface. And it has a bridge to homekit that achieves basically everything that homebridge did. You may want to investigate it!
Fantastic!
Denise Crosby has great talent as a villain. Just look at how she jumped off the screen as Sela. After seeing where the writers went with Ro Laren, I feel confident that Yar would have filled that role. She would have been a friendly foil, either as a member of the Maquis to set up Deep Space Nine, or as an onboard intelligence officer like Malcolm Reed in Enterprise.
In the early seasons — while Roddenberry’s edict that the crew not have conflict was in effect — I think she would have befriended Data and Geordi, and would have been in many scenes with them.
Here’s a tip for people who do own the Apple Vision Pro: although the Vision Pro doesn’t support side-by-side video playback out of the box yet, you can use this Archive app to view it. The app has a video player included that will handle various modes of stereoscopic file playback. I haven’t tried it yet, but this is a welcome workaround.
However there is already at least one third party app that plays SBS video just fine.
Which app?
You can also convert SBS video to MV-HEVC, which is arguably a better 3D format, and use the built-in player.
I investigated this and couldn’t find a tool to do this. Which tools have you seen that do this?
Using AI to flag footage for review by a person seems like a good time-saving practice. I would bet that without some kind of automation like this, a lot of footage would just go unreviewed. This is far better than waiting for someone to lodge a complaint first, since you could conceivably identify problem behaviors and fix them before someone gets hurt.
The use of AI-based solutions to examine body-cam footage, however, is getting pushback from police unions pressuring the departments not to make the findings public to save potentially problematic officers.
According to this, the unions are against this because they want to shield bad-behaving officers. That tells me the AI review is working!
If a company requires you to re-apply for the job you already have, you lost your job long before you ever recorded yourself with HireVue.
I went to my local Apple Store yesterday morning and saw one person leaving with an Apple Vision Pro and maybe a few people inside trying it out. It wasn’t crowded at all. It seemed like the store was pretty overcrowded with employees, though.
On the bright side, I was able to get in and out with my purchase really fast!
Totally unintentional. I’ll edit it.
Porkbun is sort of the darling of the self hosting community. I settled on them after doing a huge comparison of prices and features of all the different registrars available to me. Porkbun was by far the best.
Of course they will exist. China will own them all.
Entire departments? I’m skeptical.
Using the search bar in iPad OS to solve equations does not require access to the internet.
If you have a keyboard, press command-space. You can then enter an equation that you want to solve in the search bar. If the syntax is correct, it will give you the solution. Try this equation as an example:
(2+pi)/(3^3)
It will display this result: 0.1904293575
If you press enter and you do have internet access, then it will send the equation to Safari and execute a search in your default search engine. I’m not sure why it odes that; that doesn’t seem too useful.
Some other operations you can do in the search bar:
sqrt(n), cos(n), sin(n), tan(n), log(n), ln(n), etc.
Some other functions that I’ve used in Excel also work in the search bar, such as min(12,2)
My guess is that it supports many or all of the functions that are supported in Numbers.
With this, you should be able to quickly solve just about anything you would type into a calculator app.
I’ve used this button before. I swear it does something slightly different than saying “details” did. Like it doesn’t preserve North-up map orientation or something. Without having the old voice command, I can’t check to verify. Thank you for taking the time to highlight the button, though!
What bothers me is that Apple doesn’t document its features very completely. Here’s an example:
In CarPlay, I do a lot of navigating using Apple Maps. I discovered years ago that I could say “Details” to Siri to get the map to zoom in to allow me to see upcoming turns. I could say “overview” to get it to zoom out to show me the whole trip on the map. Very useful! I had to discover this feature by accident, though. As far as I know, there’s no button in the interface to do this, and there certainly isn’t a list of commands that Siri users can use, CarPlay or otherwise.
Even more infuriating is that this feature was removed about six months ago. Does it exist under some other spoken command? Who knows? Apple doesn’t document anything!
The same thing happened to me. I spent years changing the setting to traditional scrolling. Then, one day, my brain just flipped, and now I make registry edits to Windows to enable natural scrolling there, too. I suddenly can’t live without it.
How advanced of a calculator do you need? You can do a lot with the search bar.
Is there a reason to avoid Nvidia cards on Proxmox still?
