Isn't that like saying that Apple stopped selling the "toaster" Macs so that Apple could sell both a computer and a display? You should have heard the cries when Apple started to sell the keyboard and mouse separately too. As if other computer manufacturers did things any different.

The iPad is something like the "personal digital assistants" from ancient times. They'd function relatively well on their own but to get the most from them meant having a computer. With an iPad equipped with a SIM slot it can connect to the internet on it's own most anywhere, as well as connect to WiFi, allowing it to act quite independently for all kinds of functions. So long as your printer, scanner, or similar device, is new enough to be equipped with WiFi then it can do all kinds of office productivity stuff, and certainly as run quite a few apps for those looking to be more creative than a spreadsheet or slide presentation.

It can't make phone calls though, which is a bit disappointing in spite of having a SIM slot.

Isn't there a Windows app like for the iPhone to sync up music, contacts, documents, and such? Maybe that went away. I haven't used Windows in a while so I'm ignorant on that.

The iPad certainly has its limits but it is far from an accessory to a Mac like the first few iterations of the iPod. As I recall the iPod Touch could act quite independently, allowing for installing apps and new music from the internet on its own. Pairing it with a Mac certainly added some capability. But then so could pairing it with a Windows computer.

Does every iPhone owner also have a Mac? I'm fairly certain that is not the case.

The community would face challenges. Like MacOS does not have touch controls etc. Might not be to hard of you can bring the code over from iOS components and do new builds; while being out of reach for "the community" which is more or less restricted to mixing binaries from different sources and applying the odd patch.

Apple's bigger problem would be getting any sort of cohesive environment for users that isn't a confusing mess. Do you have to swtich to iOS to run an 'app' or can you do in MacOS in a window? If you change iOS settings, grant permissions etc, does that impact MacOS for that app or not, what about the other way. If you really make it toggle switch where are my files/data? Can access the respective volumes from each platform or are they on the same volume. The iOS UI does have the files app but most apps don't have filesystem hierarchy concept for navigating. Am I expected to copy documents between them? If so how do I know which is the most recent version. What should MacOS do if I don't have an "application" associated but i do have an iOS app that has the right url handlers, suggest I visit the Mac App store, or launch the iOS app?

When WINE first appeared on the scene people wrote stuff like, just boot Windows if you want Windows. Wine took off because everyone who has ever done it knows multi-boot sucks! It can be alright for really dedicated tasks, like gaming "I don't want any interruptions no mail, no ims, I am killing zombies for the next two hours" but it absolutely blows if it means shutting down all my apps waiting for windows to start, using Quicken for 15min, than booting back to my linux desktop. Yeah a lot of us lived like that 25 years ago - never again.

Apple knows this is a terrible experience and they also know delivering it as a product would just leave a bad taste in the mouth of users and lead to a lot of bad reviews lying around for people to read and be turned off by. Asus and some others have tried this kind of thing with Android and Windows and there is a good reason you don't see those products now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

I'd like it if my iPad ran macOS.

When I decided to get an iPad it was in part because I learned that the iPad was now running an OS separate from the iPhone and so was more suited to be an actual tablet computer than a big iPhone. I was quite disappointed when trying something as simple as attaching a USB printer so I could print out something. There was no "add printer" function like with macOS. Instead I had to use AirPrint or install a vendor specific app. Even after installing the app I could not do something so simple as connect the printer directly to the iPad by USB to print.

I got the folding keyboard/trackpad cover thingy and intended to use it as a kind of dock on my desk. There's a USB-C port on the thingy that I thought I could use to attach a USB-C hub so that when I snapped the iPad to the thingy I could get power and data from that port. No, that USB-C port is only for power. If I want any data USB-C devices then I'd have to use the USB-C port on the iPad itself. I can attach a number of different docks to that port but it was disappointing to have to take that two step process to snap it to a stand then attach another cable, which again has limited functions because printers are apparently not supported by USB-C.

There's enough hardware in the iPad as it is to allow macOS to run. It would certainly require some work on Apple's part to get the OS to run but since they have access to all the hardware specs and the source code this should be a trivial matter. It would take time but it's not like they'd be forced to reverse engineer anything like someone trying to run Linux or make it a "hackintosh".

I was disappointed somewhat with my purchase but not enough to take the effort to try to return it for a refund. I'm not sure I'd buy another iPad, I'd get a laptop instead. Maybe I'll look into some kind other kind of tablet, but I'm not seeing any that people are standing in line to get.

And if only the woke could have stopped attacking our society in an attempt to destroy us, this whole thing could have been avoided. Like Pepe the frog said while making a sad face wearinga Sturmabteilung hat, "Why are you making me do this? All I wanted to do was play video games!"

I wonder how many of us are willing to approach these issues with an open mind, as opposed to the number who say they are.

When your profiles are correlated in some way, and rest assured they will be eventually, you're going to be deported. Even if you do convince some wanna-king in black robe you are entitled to some process outside ICE, it will be slam dunk you lied on your app based on simple dates of the profiles.

I am sure your University won't refund the tuition.

Great strategy.

About the most fundamental statement in neuroscience is 'cells the fire together wire together'.

Of course the more time you spend thinking about and doing something the better you remember it and the more quickly you will be able recall the details.

I would think it would be obviously to anyone that using tools that allow you to skip over a lot of the composition effort, organizing facts you want to present into a narrative means you get less recall of those facts later.

Did the deceased drive a ICE car?

Did the deceased know about the effects her driving would have on the environment?

The impact on the climate is due to the burning of fossil fuels, which is not something the oil companies did - it was their customers.

Was the woman's death because of the climate or because of her inability to mitigate the climate she found herself in?

So your argument is that we can sue drug dealers because they didn't force their customers into rehab?

Really?

Really?

Millions of car-less New Yorkers would disagree.

You can choose to live near your job, grocery store. You can choose to avoid fossil-fueled public transport and stick to electrified rail and subway lines, etc.

It is absolutely possible for an individual to "choose not to buy petroleum products".

Sounds like you want a return to the gold standard, where government can't spend trillions it doesn't have, inflating the currency.

Oh, it was about being electric. Why not lead with that?

Why would someone that denies the existence of global warming write a scientific paper about it any more than they'd write a paper about Santa Claus or unicorns?

That's nice, but they aren't for everyone. I prefer hybrid electric vehicles myself, I expect in time they will make the ICEV as we know them obsolete. After that the BEV will likely be relegated to budget and hobby cars, not for those that have places to go and work to do.

Perhaps, until that electric car needs to charge.

Sure, they care about such things, but there's a priority to people's concerns. Maybe you haven't read the news lately. Energy costs are rising. Food supplies are being threatened by war and drought. Oh, and war alone is a concern. AI is taking people's jobs. There's been rioting in the streets of some major cities. The price of eggs and other commodities are high. I could go on but it should be clear that CO2 emissions ranks pretty low on the list of concerns right now.

I don't want fertile land to be covered by solar panels because that "kills" the land below them. If there's not something growing in that land then it will not remain fertile. Remove the sun for plants to grow by covering the land with solar panels and anything alive in the soil dies. That dead soil turns to sand and starts to erode away in the wind and rain. Removing the solar panels alone will not allow that land to grow food again. After the solar panels are gone it could take decades of careful nurturing of the land to restore the kind of fertility that land had before the solar panels were put in. If you believe climate change will damage our ability to grow crops in the future then you should not want fertile land covered in solar panels.

If reasonable alternatives existed then we would not have to make selling petroleum illegal to get people to stop selling it, people would naturally move to the alternatives from a combination of natural market forces and public shaming into switching to the alternatives.

Their reputation is only bad with a disaffected minority that like to fuss online. The vast majority of the people who work with, for, or in their industry admire them.

The absolutely will be either inspired to join or willing to do so thinking adding reservist to the CV might be a good career choice.

Second these companies and the governments ability to coordinate them in the event of a major conflict will be important. Having so familiarity with how the pentagon communicates, experience with the chain of command, and a feeling of personal inclusion will make things go more smoothly if suddenly the Defense Production Act or other war powers are being used to direct their activity.

But the Trump admin did it so naturally the Internet thinks it is dumb. Well it is not dumb, that is just your TDS showing. Now is it 'good' that is a different question...
