The iPhone Mirroring was the most interesting announcement (and I don't think was leaked). I suspect it will only be useful for emergencies as latency will be terrible, though.

I hoping my mom can share their phone with their laptop and i can sreenshare into her laptop to troubleshoot her phone. Also I will use this often to approve okta 2factor requests.

I have high hopes for the background replacement tech, the segmentation built into teams isn't very good.

You can always use your own removal with OBS. There's a plugin for automatic background removal and you can re-export the video as a virtual camera that any other app can use.

I'm very productive in Windows, but Microsoft's recent behavior (jamming Windows full of Edge dark patterns and ads) and the improvement of window management in macOS tempts me to give it another try.

I wish they’d have an LTS version, I’m in constant fear of what will go wrong next…

Every release is an LTS version, with support for about 8 years.

The current stable release of macOS (10.14 Sonoma) supports all Macs introduced in 2017 and later.

I never thought I’d see the day macOS would get tiling window management. Wonder how it will interact with Stage Manager if at all.

the tiling is very basic though. reminds me of windows. i3/sway is superior, especially once you get it customized to your workflow.

Why? It's not like remote desktop tech is new or anything.

I’ve been wishing for iPhone notifications on my Mac for the longest time!

I wonder if it’ll do anything about duplicate notifications. As a basic example, the Weather app exists both on iOS (and iPadOS) and macOS, so if it’s enabled, would you get duplicate notifications on macOS?

Wasn't this always possible though? Apple just turned what was once a development feature (Xcode) into a mainstream feature.
