Do you mount it on a stand? my neck hurts just thinking about going through a full workday on an ipad.

I’m using the iPad Magic Keyboard which is also a stand. So it’s pretty much the same as using a MacBook. I do have the 13 inch. I tried the 11 inch but personally I found that too small to use comfortably like this.

Tim Cook's fear of people not buying a full set of Apple devices for each person is the driving force behind not just the lack of multiuser support, but also the overall nerfing of iPadOS.

For the past 5+ years it's been, "This will be the year of real work on the iPad," but they keep circling around it, trying not to make iPads accidentally powerful enough for someone to skip buying a MacBook.

I mainly use my iPad Pro like a MacBook with the Magic Keyboard and a Razer mouse (I can even play ARC Raiders perfectly on it, streamed from the gaming pc in another room; having a completely silent gaming setup in the living room is amazing) connected.

My macOS muscle memory works most of the time, but there are also quite some details which are slightly different or missing. If they would allow a macOS “mode” on iPad I would choose it over a MacBook instantly for work.

Wouldn’t it be great if this finally breaks the Microsoft stranglehold. We could pop open the champagne and toast to liberté égalité and digital sovereignty ;)

Maybe you guys should make it possible to add passwords to any account, including a Google authed one.

Like I get Keycloak is complicated but it is also very useful.

My gosh yes please! This is so annoying. Last time I checked it’s impossible to disconnect your email address from Google auth if you used that to sign up. And no way to delete the account and recreate with that email address.

I'm subscribed to the Premium Family plan to get rid of the ads and for the music service, which I think at the current price is a great deal. I just wish they would add more options to the premium plan, like:

- add proper filters (e.g. for sponsored content, low effort content creators, any content about spending/winning money, other obvious nonsense which exists just to increase views, etc. etc.)

- detect and filter generated and other low effort crap content

- add proper parental controls (it's a family plan, after all and YouTube Kids does not count, it sucks)

- disable Shorts (if there's one thing that's going to make me cancel my subscription it's the cancer that is Shorts)

I've switched to using SSE to get around problems with the refresh button. It's pretty simple and reliable.
rvanmil · 2 years ago
That’s great. Unfortunately I’ve seen SSE fail quite a few times in the scenario I described.

My browser has a refresh button. Alas your application likely breaks when I use it.
rvanmil · 2 years ago
Not entirely sure why it would break…?

Honestly, all the techniques for this stuff have their problems, including the refresh button.
rvanmil · 2 years ago
True, though when carefully implemented it’s the most reliable option I guess.

Or, if you’re building for clients with a traditional “enterprise” and “secure” IT infrastructure: add refresh buttons and call it a day. If there’s one thing in my experience that consistently fails in these environments and cannot be fixed due to endless red tape, it’s trying to make real-time work for these type of clients.
