    Bit of a hot take after a few beers and I’m going into the weekend. I’m not taking shots at the person I’m replying to:

    Strangely enough, I feel the same about my work’s Window’s laptop at the end of the week. There’s a feeling called awe, where I wonder how things aligned for me to experience the daunting interconnected occurrences spanning hundreds of lives for me to be precisely where I am now. Usually it’s around a landmark or beautiful art where I stop and wonder. I felt awe working on a fullstack of Microsoft products, but it was a twisted dark one. One where I wonder how on earth people think this company is competent at anything when literally anything else in a software product category is better, save Windows and Office. VSCode is sweet, but even that is open sourced.

    And those two only win because of market share at this point. That’s all they have, and one has default telemetry and the other a subscription.


  • I think it’s fine for the handsets, but if they’re trying to push the iPad as a “semi computer” for the general consumer it really needs to be revamped. You can do many of the same things file managers do on other operating systems, but it’s extremely non-intuitive at times — so many users think the functionality is missing. Because if they don’t know it’s there it might as well be!

    Yeah, I can see that. I got through college with only an iPad for the Math degree, and the most common issue I see there’s two locations in the Files app: iCloud and Local Storage. Once you get comfortable you can start mounting a tiny version of Linux running onto the file system and then it gets REALLY fun :)

    Any question just ask!
