I firmly believe Photoshop on iPad is just the first big example of a shift that will occur in the 3 years with more desktop apps coming to iPad Pro.

Subscriptions, USB-C, cloud files, and more powerful iOS multitasking are accelerating this transition.

macstories.net/news/adobe-unv…
i.e. If your files are always in a cloud, and if an app is the same client everywhere thanks to a subscription, and if you have an iPad with a Pencil/trackpad and powerful enough to output 4K to an external display, at which point do you just have a Mac in a different shell?
In other words, this would be the ideal scenario I've been building towards since I effectively stopped using a Mac in 2014.

I want an iPad Pro that can become "a Mac" when *I need it to be* while still being a tablet for everything else. And I believe it's going to happen.

Welp, iCloud on all my devices (iPhone XS Max, iPad Pro, Mac mini) has started randomly not syncing some things.

Reminders and HomeKit scenes different across devices. Photos and notes are fine.

After signing out and back in, iPhone told me it hadn’t backed up in 4 weeks 🤔
The iPhone is now stuck on doing this backup, saying “2 hours remaining”, and it’s not moving at all (I have a fiber connection).

I have already tried signing out of iCloud and back in everywhere. Honestly not sure what to do except hope it’ll fix itself eventually 🙁
Deleted all my previous incomplete backups, now stuck like this after 90 minutes. Will keep checking later today. 🤔

Shortcuts 2.1 beta 2 is out! Some great changes in this one:

- New actions to create alarms and timers directly in the app
- New Measurement actions
- Better AirPlay integration via HomePod
- New controls to stop sharing a shortcut
With the new Clock actions, it is possible to build simple but effective Pomodoro-style timers in Shortcuts.

You can also create “goodnight” routines more easily by toggling specific alarms directly 👍
Here are the new sharing controls in Shortcuts 2.1 b2. Reopen an iCloud link you previously shared to get an option to delete the link and wipe data from iCloud.

I’ve been working on this for 3 months, and here it is:

My iOS 12 review: macstories.net/stories/ios-12…

I poured hundreds of hours into this, especially the big Shortcuts chapter (with tons of examples and videos).

Enjoy!
Of course, there’s more to the review!

It was my pleasure to work with @imyke again to offer an AUDIOBOOK version, available here: gumroad.com/l/iOS12Review

If you’re a @ClubMacStories member, it’s 60% off. The audiobook is just over 3 hours. Works great in Overcast and Castro.
There is also an eBook version of the review.

This is *exclusive* to @ClubMacStories members, and it’s free. It looks really good in the new Apple Books for iOS 12.

New iPad Pro has Face ID, thinner bezels, squared off edges. A new touch sensitive Pencil that magnetically attaches to the edges. Thin enough to have a camera bump. Uses the XR's LCD cornering techniques.
The new 12.9" iPad Pro is physically smaller than the old one with the same screen size. It's roughly the same size as an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper. 5.9mm thick.
10 billion transistors in the A12X. 8-core CPU. 7-Core GPU. 35% faster single-core performance. 1000x faster GPU. iPad Pro is Xbox One S class GPU performance in "94% smaller" package, Ternus jokes.

Apple's silicon team is just dropping bombs every event.

“IBM contributed to the holocaust” was a rather abstract bad thing for me until I read this thread & started to understand that it was deliberate and profitable and _crucial_ to the Nazi’s machinery of death.

More info: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dehomag
The numbers the Nazis tattooed on prisoners’ wrists were IBM identifcation codes.

The IBM computers decided where people were sent. I wonder: is this the first big example of using the fence of “it’s just algorithms” to declaim personal responsibility?
IBM’s German subsidiary paid $3 million into a fund for holocaust victims, while never admitting any responsibility.

Soooo let’s see, apparently IBM figured that each person their systems sent to their death was worth 18 cents.

Noted.

Owning an AR-15 is a personal choice.

hearing—"#China's Worldwide #Military Expansion" is a dramatic bellwether of growing concerns in Washington & beyond.

Now online—hard-hitting arguments + many data points, some deeply-analyzed yet hard to find elsewhere in public domain:

CAPT Jim Fanell, USN Ret, former @USPacificFleet N2:

"today, the PLA Navy consists of over 330 surface ships & 66 submarines, nearly 400 combatants. As of 4 May 2018, the @USNavy consists of 283 battle force ships: 211 surface ships and 72 submarines."

"By 2030, it is estimated [by Fanell & @SCheneyPeters in their chapter in @NavalWarCollege @ChinaMaritime Studies Institute's Chinese Naval Shipbuilding volume amazon.com/Chinese-Naval-… @USNIBooks that] the PLANavy will consist of some 550 ships: 450 surface ships & 99 submarines."

1) There’s a lot of BS about @nntaleb’s Black Swan, antifragility & skin in da game. Let’s take the gloves off and get into trouble.
2) When the Swan flew out, it was immediately butchered by imbeciles not understanding that you can’t predict the unpredictable.

That is the point – and an IQ filter NNT himself proly did not expect.
3) In any complex domain – life! – the Blackest Swan is always skulking around the corner. You know it’s coming, but you don’t know what where when. You can't tame what you've never even conceived of.

Can you get it?
