Check out the article here by Tim Hardwick.
Now I usually just skim any article like this because I have been on Mac so long, but there are quite a few of these that I didn’t know, starting with the first one Stationary pad.
Apple’s Podcast app is a good app., and getting new features soon (according to MacRumors), but what it really needs is the ability to remember playback speed on a per podcast basis.
I listen to news podcasts that I always listen to at 2x speed, and then music podcasts, that need to be listened to at 1x speed so the music is correct and it is annoying to change the setting every time. You already set podcast feeds to have individual controls to how they are shown (in what order, newest or oldest first. All I ask it to allow a setting to always playback at the speed you select.
This is a very cool app for those who want to customze their dock for different displays, so if you use a laptop and have external displays, you can have the dock be on the side on one, or hidden or on the bottom. Check out the free HiDock app, donations welcome.
It basically shows that the whole software is in here, but not activated for iPad yet, so that means it will likely be added in eventually.
I have seen people who are so negative on DaVinci for iPad, but I am psyched for it. To me it is basically the first full pro software for the ipad and I can’t wait to use it it with my Blackmagic camera.
Chip Loder has this article on How to store extended file attributes in iCloud.
I hate that any of this is necessary, because iCloud should not be doing anything to your files. It is the whole problem with iTunes and it’s cloud services that can ruin your whole iTunes Library.
Apple needs to fix this, but I think they see it as a feature not a bug.
Jeremy Reimer has an amazing 3 part article on the history of the ARM processor. It is excellent and as in depth as all their articles tend to be.
Since all of Apple’s machines except the Intel MacPro are based on ARM this is an important history for any hard core Apple User.
Dan Moren at Six Colors has this article on Apple Watch’s Camera Control, which I had never used before, but have since and ti is totally amazing. I didn’t realize you could do this and it is so much better than just doing a timer shot.
Bradley Chambers on 9 Apps to Try to Unlock the Full Potential of your New Mac.
I currently use 4 of them, 1Password, TextExpander, Fantastical and CleanMyMac X and so am going to take a look at the other 5, as so many I already think are great.
Filipe Esposito at 9 to 5 Mac wrote this article and I couldn’t agree more.
There is some pro-ish software, with the recently released DaVinci Resolve being the most powerful software on the iPad.
Apple needs to make the software more powerful, because the hardware is already as powerful as it needs to be.
Amazing that it can beat a M1 Ultra in Final Cut, though it is a bit behind in Premiere, and Geekbench. Makes me really excited for the M2 Ultra.
