Should have called it Sherlock as they seem to be Sherlocking a lot of apps. For instance I only use Fantastical because I can see my reminders with my events, I assume many people will also switch from a paid password manager to this as well.

I frequently just airdrop stuff between my iphone and mac, that's the best thing coming from android, that and pasting text between devices, eg iban, passwords, etc.
AirDrop is great in theory, but in practice 80% of the time I try to send a photo to my partner using AirDrop, it simply fails to bring up a notification on her devices. In my experience, Apple often delivers well much of the time, but will allow mysterious bugs like this to pervade a feature for years without finding a fix despite much discussion in their customer forums. I wish they did a better job of fixing such…
Very weird and very annoying. Especially since they are used by millions of people every hour.

I even have the same problem from me to me. My phone to my mac. Bluetooth and all that is on.
Might seem like a small one, but finally: a passwords app. That one really makes me happy. 1Password was a bliss until they went all in on subscriptions, and Bitwarden, for all its benefits is, I gotta say, rather abysmal when it comes to GUI and UX of their native app. The Passwords app looks like the best of both worlds in terms of UX and functionality.
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.
But now...
- Windows is full of AI/Adware bloat with more getting added every few months
- Linux's gaming/nvivia support has come such a long way that in some games it's beating Windows in some benchmarks now
- Apple's app store policies over the last 10 years have caused so many issues that our company is switching everything to webapps.
So I'll probably be switching from Windows+MacOS+Linux this year to just Linux next year.
Thinking of using the KDE or Cosmic desktop environments for personal computer and NixOS for development computer (just so I can test/rollback changes, and if the computer ever dies I can be up and running again in under an hour if I need to meet a deadline).

I never really understood the appeal of tiling window managers. I've gotten used to having overlapping windows with appropriate parts peek out out behind others. e.g. tail of a log behind an editor running a program, and I can bring it to the foreground to see older lines and/or scroll. To do the same with a tiling manager, I would zoom the logging pane. I suppose I just prefer less layout changes. Same for Slack, I…
I generally agree with you. I use my Mac with most of the windows overlapped most of the time. But occasionally I need them side-by-side to do some work. Typically referencing documents or code. Fortunately the introduction of this looks to just be an optional feature rather than a dictated "way things are". An overlapped/stacked interface is fine a lot of the time, but the flexibility is important. What really drive…

FWIW, I found LocalSend ( https://localsend.org/ ) to be quite handy especially since it is a cross-platform solution.

I use KDE Connect to do the same thing across Android, Mac and Windows: https://kdeconnect.kde.org/ Well worth checking out.
