There’s a toggle button to allow the iPad versions of their apps to run on visionOS. It would take one person less than four minutes to allow it. Is it an amazing experience on Vision Pro? No, but it would be a good one at least.

It should be in control center, or configurable to be put there.

Ringtone volume is set under “Sounds & Haptics” in settings.

It’s a “sticky” setting in that, if you have “change with buttons” turned off, you have to go back to settings to adjust the notification/ringtone volume, but I’ve always treated ringtones as on/off rather than specific volume levels, because of the silent switch. I don’t ever want my phone to ring loud, so I have the volume set low just in case I happened to forget to put it in silent mode.

Imagine if the same complaints were leveled at people every time Samsung put out a new watch, phone, or tablet. Some of these are just cell radio variations, but come on.

Some variation of this rumor has floated around for years now. Every year we get people saying Apple’s going to change the band design and make old bands incompatible with new watches.

Will it happen at some point? Sure. Do I think it’ll be this next year? No. A magnetic connection seems like the exact kind of thing Apple would want to do if it were practical, but for a device that is used in the range of activities the watch is, it’s not.

Also… what’s your game called? I’d be interested in checking it out.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ll likely sink a hundred or more hours into it again, and I may even be wrong about the Stardew Valley feelings once I get into it. Genuinely loved this game when it first came out, and regret selling my N64 collection when I was in college.

Aside from the OoT and Majora’s Mask additions, I don’t know that many (any?) games could have made me more excited than this. I sunk so many hours into these three games. That said, I’m prepared to be disappointed by the way 1080 controls, and constantly thinking about how Harvest Moon would benefit from being just a bit more like Stardew Valley.

But I’ll have waves of nostalgia pouring over me any way.

The Apple Magic Keyboard works wired and with Windows.

Most manufacturers don’t license the instruction set, only the Cortex core designs. Those licensing fees are actually lower than the instruction set.

So… for every 10 million devices Apple sells, ARM makes $3m? Last year Apple sold 232.2 million iPhones, 60.4 million iPads, and I can’t find a statistic for Mac sales in 2022 only 7 million in a particular quarter, so maybe 21-30 million. We’ll say 30.

That’s ~320 million devices at 30¢ each (and doesn’t include AirPods, Apple TVs, Watches, HomePods, or any other ARM based device Apple sells). That’s $96m dollars for the license to an instruction set Apple helped create, used for chips Apple designed, and that Apple pays to have fabricated.

Nearly $100m a year on three product lines that don’t use ARM Holdings’ cores, or require ARM’s involvement in engineering or manufacturing, only the instruction set seems fair to me.

I’ve used both, and the Magic Keyboard is the better laptop replacement by far. I couldn’t go without the trackpad at this point. I use my iPad as an iPad all the time, but I also use it as a thin client to remote into my Mac. I did this sometimes before the Magic Keyboard existed, and it was handy, and I could be somewhat productive, but it’s a thousand times better with the trackpad.

That’s exactly what they’re doing right now. They’ve not made an indefinite commitment to it, but it’s the second free year for a device enter its second year.

If you’re interested, the company they partnered with was Motif, and they have apps for iOS and macOS. Same quality and very intuitive layout editing.

Gosh his face looks smug and punchable.

Most security systems.

There are more, but there are plenty of lightning based accessories and peripherals that people may not be ready to drop for the time being.

It’s not to adapt cables, it’s to adapt accessories.

I think it’s a game worth easily 50 bucks. I’d say pick it up.
