iPad Apps Are Coming to the Mac With Apple's Project Catalyst

[charlituna]

I really don't like the way News and HomeKit turned out on the Mac. They feel a little awkward and a bit un-Mac like.

that's less a code issue and more just a design one. UI and features. especially in News

Is that technically a triple-negative?

Debatably, yes, but "belief" is a powerful deterrent to reality in debate. If person says, "I believe the moon in made of cheese", the fact that the moon is not made of cheese does not invalidate the "fact" of the person's belief that the moon is made of cheese - even if they only say it to much up the whole debate. You can't "prove" that they don't believe that.

[I've been in those circular debates this week. I promise, it wasn't me who did the bogus believing.]

So finally being able to post to Instagram from a desktop computer.

Check out Flumeapp. It lets you do exactly that and more. It’s far more powerful and my preferred method of posting videos to Instagram (@oniceperspectives). Also, I feel like IG should make a proper iPad app first before they port it to Mac.

Steve Troughton-Smith's marzipanify.

Obviously that should be renamed “Catalytic Converter”.

it might be functionally better than using the hobbled website but that is not a nice looking app. after 5 minutes I had to uninstall it. i'll just stick with my phone

I think people severely underestimate the value x86 affords the Mac.

This didn’t age well. On the contrary, other companies now fully understood how ARM is important.

There are still areas where Apple Silicon sits behind the features of X86, but I will admit Apple shocked me with the M1!

My wife has the M1 MBP and I'm impressed.

Wouldn't it be easier to just keep expanding what the iPad can do? Then letting the Mac market fade away as the market transitions (if it ever does). That already runs ARM and this method wouldn't require them to kill the Mac prematurely.

I think people severely underestimate the value x86 affords the Mac.

ARM is going to share market with X86 for some months (few years), but eventually, every sistem will be ARM.
X86 is way behind ARM in the energy field, and ARM for desktops is a newborn and very easily scalable.

Just let the time pass.

It is true Adler in single core is the biggest leap Intel did in 15 years. But there is no way they can put that on a laptop, and M1 Max is still designed to fit in a paper folder.

Just think what ARM guys could do if the space to fit the SOC is desktop size (other different thing is if Apple thinks it's worth the development for the Mac Pro in the short term as Xeon are very capable, but the future could be different as they could offer same specs and save money)
