yes. Has been possible since at least M1.

Buy M-based iPad, nice monitor, keyboard and mouse. Connect mouse and keyboard to monitor via USB. Then iPad via USB-C/Thunderbolt to monitor. Everything "just works" and you can handle surprisingly high amount of work this way


Can you share more about this experience please? To me, you're still left with apps that are designed for a touchscreen and consumption.


If you are using an iPad as a second screen - you get the same app you have on your mac (obviously, iPad just acts as a second screen: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102597).

If you are using an external keyboard and a mouse with it - you will get the same touch UI, yes.


Many apps are missing many keyboard shortcuts that you may be used to if you’ve used the equivalent on the desktop. You’ll need to keep the iPad screen accessible to tap on UX elements. There’s also the issue that shortcuts that do exist may be hard to discover because there’s no menu bar to look in.


> Many apps are missing many keyboard shortcuts that you may be used to

This is true. To see the ones that are available, hold down the command ⌘ key to get a scrollable list of all of the shortcuts for the app you’re currently using, and use Fn-m or globe key-m to see a list of the system shortcuts.


Specs show that Pro models got Thunderbolt and Air only got USB-C.

Very vague specs.

Can iPad Air USB-C deliver 4k 120hz or how much bandwidth that USB-C got?


It's been possible since the iPad 2.

I used to code HTML/CSS that way back in... 2011?


nuclear strike is an effective tool in many war scenarios, why would AI (or anyone else) recommend against it??

We should, of course, have human decision makers who must work tirelessly to make sure those scenarios are never even remotely realistic.


pretty sure it is against ToS for ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.


Did OpenAI observe any ToS when scraping content from the Internet? Sorry, but you cannot complain about stealing the stolen. OpenAI cannot even have the copyright on ChatGPT output, because it's a tool.


ToS didn't stop the companies that built those models and it won't stop the companies that bootstrap off them. Until an AI company eats a multi billion dollar lawsuit for unlawful data use they will continue to operate this way.


Didn’t Anthropic already eat a $1.5 billion lawsuit?


> Until an AI company eats a multi billion dollar lawsuit for unlawful data use they will continue to operate this way

If only. That's my dream, massive copyright lawsuits against all of these AI players and maybe the courts can do something good for a change, put an end to all of this AI bullshit


It's against my ToS for ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini to train their models on my writing, but they've all done that. They are free to pound sand.


Not the heckin' ToS!


This is a time to boycott all of the president's Elon enterprises. I just cancelled my Tesla solar installation in California. If you are thinking about buying a Tesla - don't. Also do not vandalize other peoples' Tesla.

If you are thinking about working in AI for x.ai or Tesla - do not. This will not look pretty on your resume.


I took a look at the mutual funds in my IRA last night. Most of the market index ones hold a lot of TSLA - it seemed to be in the top 5 holdings of several of the ones I have (had). I put in sell orders last night. Not just because TSLA, but because of all the chaos this administration is causing re tariffs and everything else. I'll hide out in treasury money market fund for a while.


Israelis will be in for a very bad after backing and helping russia. They forgot too quickly how jews have been treated there.


The real danger is not covering for communist's insecurities but lack of comprehensive tests for models which could uncover whether the model injects malware for certain prompts.

For example, I would stop using US bank if I new they are using LLMs from China internally (or any adversary but really only China is competitive here). Too much risk.


because it was a stupid law which would hurt AI innovation


Majority of Elon's net worth is tied to Tesla. Tesla has a massive presence in and therefore dependence on China. How can we accept Twitter as a free-speech platform? Just because he says so?


Twitter is obviously not a free speech platform, as demonstrated by basically anyone posting things critical of Musk or his allies.


what is the next step? Not allowing the sale of cars without remote shutdown switch? something else?


The next step for telegram is pretty obvious. Stop collecting information about your users if you don't want to be forced to hand it over when given a valid government warrant. Of course that means they actually have to roll out E2E encryption by default so they probably won't do that.


Governments will just force user tracking and collecting data, and if you won't comply, you'll go to jail. If you're a legal business, there's no way to avoid three letter agencies messing with you and your users.


Why treat Telegram different than any other entity if they have a warrant for one of their clients/customers?

It's way better than the US CloudAct that doesn't differ.


Or requiring a license to make toast in your own damn toaster?


Even worse! Forcing you to wear seat belts and drunk driving, which is just the purest form of communism

Whoah, I didn't know there was a prequel video!


One thing I love about Apple is that they are building products for what their leadership team actually needs/wants and uses themselves. This started with iPhone (e.g. what kind of smartphone do we want instead of all that blackberries?) and is very obvious with Apple Watch line.

This is great and one of the reasons why their products offer genuinely best user experience.


It does explain why the Apple Watch tracks of lot of metrics mostly applicable to the elderly - Double Support Time, Walking Asymmetry, Walking Steadiness.
