Universal Control Works in macOS Monterey Beta 5, But Terminal Commands Required to Enable It

What I want is the ability to use one mouse/trackpad per monitor. And have multiple pointers. Each pointer could cross over to other monitors or be locked to one. Maybe they're slightly different colors to differentiate.

I really do see anyone using it for real use apart from using it as a demo; I would never need my iPad next to my mac like that

Nice! Because YOU don't see yourself using it that way doesn't mean others won't. Such an odd thing to say. "If I don't like it nobody else should". 🙄

I use my iPad Pro as a third monitor on my desk with my docked MBP. This should be useful

Think about it. Mac can play this same music to speakers. You are using three devices instead of one tondi the same thing that one (or two) device could do and now you need a new feature to

Work done on the iPad while you have a Mac on the same desk? Really? What work would that be?

Well if they manage to make the music app work properly again I don't have too of course. But there are still many other use cases to use it. That u don't understand why people use multiple devices at the same time doesn't mean it is nonsense.

At Least Monterey boots up faster than Big Sur probably due to better compatibility with the 3TB Apple hybrid drives found in the iMacs which Big Sur has some sort of bug built in and the iMac with Hybrid drives boots up super slow. Fixed in Monterey.

Also Big Sur had some sort of memory leak when adding bookmarks of pages in my safari browser.
GONE in Monterey

Fusion drives are a bad bad thing.

Fusion drives are a bad bad thing.

They were a cool, but flawed, transitional kludge. The sort of thing that Apple usually stays away from, instead choosing to wait until the transition to the “good” technology is ready (i.e. big SSDs).

Explain it to me.
