It makes me sad that 47 year old tech (emoticons, 1972) is the fore-running value add of a $900b company.

Thousands of year old technology (wheels) back billion dollar transportation companies.

Nobody makes "now, our vehicles come with WHEELS, the new ROUND kind!" their main selling point.

I dislike how much focus Apple and other companies put on Memoji's, Emoji's, Bitmoji's, Animoji's and all other shitty, cartoon representations of their users.

Emojis are one of the few reasons why people update their OS. It is a great win for security.

Why not just auto-update the OS??????????

Non-auto-updating software is the problem

It's actually a fact if you talk to people who use the watch.

There are various anecdotes around about Apple Watches exposing undiagnosed heart conditions, though I don't know of any available statistics on the subject.

I missed 'Sidecar' - the thing that'll let you use an ipad as a second screen for a mac. But I don't understand if it's true second screen, i.e. a native replacement for what the Duet app does, or more like a second screen 'portal' for specific apps that implement that functionality.

How does it work? Wireless with airplay (is slow when streaming to apple tv) or by cable?

I've never thought of this, but wow it seems so true. Whenever a new batch of emojis come out, my friends start sending them which entices me to go update immediately.

Perhaps they're onto something here. Clickbait in the service of security? The black hats are already using the darker side of mass Internet behavior. "Secure your computer with this one weird trick!"

Do you have an example of this in the wild?

Unless I missed something, the files app won’t put videos into the TV app.

If you intend to stick with the first party software, then you seem to have gotten some bad information on what synch settings can be controlled from the Finder. You wouldn't need to open the TV app to control or trigger synch for video content. Catalina handles both from the sidebar of the Finder.

The sync is controlled from the finder, but the available content is controlled from the TV app.

Ever bought a tire?

The ipad shows up just like another monitor to the Mac. You can move your mouse into it and drag windows to and from it. The ipad seems to just be a dumb display (and touch input) when connected. I believe it requires a USB-C connection.

I'm not certain where you got this impression, but it is incorrect.

Here is a link to the correct information on how synch works in the Finder of Mac OS Catalina.
