In a functioning built environment more walking should result in exactly 0 more pedestrian deaths, but alas it's the people who are to blame for killing each other.
Yes to 2), the Max can run 3 8k60 displays and 6 6k60 displays.
Which are pretty crazy specs considering my Air can only push a single display of any resolution.
I was asking myself the same, but I am assuming there is no way. The specs list only 300W of extra power budget (with only 150W on the single 8-pin PCI-E connector) and the x16 slots are shown as single height on the images.
Also I don't think there are any drivers for Apple Silicon afaik and using AMD GPUs purely as accelerator cards seems pointless when you have M2 Max.
I'm prefacing this by saying I'm not affiliated in any way, but I found it very humorous that you basically described the app One Sec (iPhone only I think) to a tee. It uses uses shortcuts to put a barrier of your choice before opening specific apps, writing down the intention being one of them.
The concept is pretty great (I actually tried building something similar using shortcuts before it existed) but in the end I found that it doesn't really work for me unfortunately. When my brain decides it wants to look at something, delay isn't enough to make it reconsider.
So ymmv but I think it's worth to try it out.
Super interesting to read the varying opinions on here. Seems it differs a lot for music styles and personal preferences.
I tried a few songs from my favorites and while the similarities were cool to see, it didn't correlate to actually liking the song for me that well. Then again I couldn't say what makes me like a song. My best guess currently is a correlation the voice of the singer(s) for songs with lyrics but not the text in itself.
Still really excited to see updates on this, especially recommendations based on a playlist, since the big 2 (Apple Music, Spotify) haven't figured out recommendation for a all-over-the-place music taste yet.
I think posting the excerpt you choose after reading the link you provided is rather disingenuous. Your source itself criticizes the way the data is presented and provides alternative ways to display the data.
Of course the problem is not uniquely US-American, but I believe the way the US deals with this problem largely is.
I love the idea of having a Linux distro that emulates macOS, but I see no point in copying only the vague look, when it still differs in basic functionality, like using different keyboard shortcuts.
I don’t understand why (based on semi-thorough googling in the past) it is not possible to change all shortcuts to be like macOS (cmd-c instead of ctrl-c etc.)
One of the best things about macOS is the special character inputs, which is one place I think Apple has outshone their competitors for a while. Even if Elementary doesn’t introduce the same keybindings it would be nice to have some set up automatically without having to fiddle with the compose key settings. It’s a very common UX issue imho and also an area where you can easily “beat Windows”
I don't know if it's what the OP meant, but on macOS you can hold a letter key, and it will pop up a little dialog with a bunch of similar characters (hold 'n' and chose from 'n' with various diacritical marks), and you can just press the corresponding number key to choose it. I'ts not as fast as a dedicated key shortcut if you're constantly using the same character, but it's far easier if you're only occasionally using various characters and don't want to remember different shortcuts.
Just tested this - it seems like a handy feature but apparently also dependent on the application using a specific textbox from the macOS UI toolkit. So it doesn't work in iTerm, and probably not in Firefox either? So not an "OS" feature exactly, and probably something the GTK folks could provide an equivalent for if they don't already.
On macOS you can also type things like Opt-U to get an umlaut, followed by typing the letter you want underneath it (eg for ü, ë, ä, ö). ß is Opt-S, I think é is Opt-E E, etc. I prefer that to the AltGr+key shortcuts, which I find harder to remember. I don't use the Mac as my primary OS anymore, but that's one of the things I miss the most.
I'm not sure what GP means by special characters, but I use fedora workstation 30 for my day to day life and I can attest that Arabic and Chinese input are absolute garbage compared to OS X.
Arabic key layout is different (which fine, OS X uses something non-standard anyways), but makes it absolutely impossible to customize it. Text boxes frequently jumble themselves up with left/right mixed input, while OS X handles this as expected.
Chinese input is slightly better, as you don't have to deal with order wonkiness. But pinyin input is halfhearted at best, and requires a bunch of qol changes.
Mostly the Latin-1 subset (plus East Asian overlines and the Chinese ‘v’ tone mark) and other characters that appear in names, but also “”‘’–•—¿¡§ are all rather useful if you can get to them. The math symbols for partial, adjoint, sqrt, almost equal, not equal, equivalent, isomorphic, geq and leq are also nice; others like sum and integral are pretty but require too many decorations to be useful anyway. On OS X last time I used it if you press eg Option-u you get a hanging diaeresis and the next character you type will be umlautted if possible. You can enable this on X with [Compose]+:, but you usually have to fiddle with settings to enable it, and that’s not the Elementary philosophy.
Too often I want to use the proper spelling of someone’s name and I run off to Google to get the symbol.
The specific bindings vary by person and hardly matters, but having an extra modifier in the Command key is invaluable. It lets you properly "namespace" key binds (ctrl and meta for emacs commands, CMD for global) and prevents hacks like copying text in terminal being different from copying text anywhere else (ctrl-c vs ctrl-shift-c in windows and linux, always CMD-c in macos).
The CMD key is much better utilized by MacOS than the windows/super key is by windows/linux. Most OS-level things are under command, and I'm free to use readline/emacs bindings in any text inputs across the whole OS and never have them conflict with global bindings.
Windows/linux still defaults to many OS commands being in the ctrl space (like ctrl-c for copy, not windows-c) which causes clobbering in the terminal, forcing people to use ctrl-shift-c, for instance.
tbf, windows key shortcuts are actually OS specific. Clipboarding/etc must be implemented by the app in question.
i think a better example would be alt-keys (alt-tab/etc)
