    I would think it does support it... In my iPad Air (latest model) I somehow ended up stuck with a split keyboard for a bit until I managed to restore it.

    I haven't, but I probably should. I just found it straightforward to type bing.com when blocked by Google and it was the first thing that came to mind. And after seeing I wasn't bl…

    I wouldn't even change my search engine back. Google often sends me captchas while using a VPN, and sometimes somehow I end up stuck doing the captcha for 1+ min. So I've been usin…

    I recently moved from Piascore to ForScore. I still haven't got used to the gestures, annotations, settings and setlists, and I haven't found a way to set the UI to have the note n…

    Get the big iPad Pro. I got the iPad Air (10.86") for reading sheet music (piano and singing) and I love it, but after using it for a while I wish I had purchased the 12.9" Pro. So…

    I don't think Proton is _based_ on Vulkan. From a quick search: https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/sgn36x/how_...

    Have you played all these games? Which ones would you recommend if I were to only buy 1 or 2?

    For me mods and multiplayer are worth more than 10%. That said, I also play multiplayer games on the AppStore, although the Game Center friends functionality isn’t as good as Steam…

    I've had a MacBook Pro USB-C cable, it lasted around 2 years. An iPad USB-C cable, lasted for less than a year. I don't even move them around much, but now I'm forced to use my Swi…

    Anecdotal, but I've had to resort to charge my MacBook Pro and my iPad with my Switch's USB-C cable because the other 2 broke/stopped working.

    I have 14 terminal and 25 browser windows open (>5000 tabs among all of them — a slightly embarrassing number). :D Edit: only 1 13' monitor too

    Tehran was great, I guess I should give the other series you mention a watch.

    I’m sure the info. is in one of the WWDC videos, but I imagine the hover effect could be activated by the OS without notifying the webpage.
