We may actually be seeing the moment where Moom[1] is no longer an essential OS X app. It can solve both window tiling and the "maximize problem" on mac and has been my first install for many years. Here's to hoping that Apple can get one basic OS feature right once.

Thanks to the new API that comes with Sequoia, I developed a new translator app for Menu Bar that doesn’t require internet connection. If you are interested, please have a look: https://apps.apple.com/de/app/offline-translate-translator/i...

congrats on your App!

Thank you!

> With many of the Apple Intelligence models running entirely on device, as well as the introduction of Private Cloud Compute — which extends the privacy and security of Apple devices into the cloud to unlock even more intelligence — Apple Intelligence introduces an extraordinary step forward for privacy in artificial intelligence. They've said this in every mention of Apple AI since the WWDC, but they haven't mentio…

You could try cutting the AI process from the internet using LuLu

I am usually slow to upgrade but I jumped on this and iOS 18 immediately because of "iPhone Mirroring". I've only had it for a few minutes, but it's really nice!

Ah I really wanted this too but it seems like it's not available in the EU.

Does anyone understand why? Is it apple having a flap about recent DMA/Whatever regulations they don't like or is there an actual technical reason why what's probably a fancy version of VNC can't work without breaching European regulations?

I recently got bored of Apple ecosystem. Was considering buying System76 for work, but thought that iPhone Mirroring feature would be really neat and decided to wait.

Turns out it’s not available in EU because yadda yadda Apple threw a fit.

Oh well.

Ubuntu is really good these days. If you bought into the apple ecosystem with a recent Mac I’d not bother. But for those of your running a PC Ubuntu is incredible and their new App Store makes finding and installing software super easy. My workstation pc with Ubuntu is insanely faster than my Mac Studio when it comes to jetbrains IDEs. It’s so snappy I first couldn’t believe the performance diff.

How would you install Ubuntu on an M1-M3 Macbook?

is it just what scrcpy has been doing for some years already ?

It forwards notifications to your Mac too, even when a mirroring session isn't active.

I wish I could set the macOS one to allow me to have ⅓ on the left and ⅔ on the right.

Note that you can option double click the corner of a window to make it fill the screen. I realize that this isn't what you're asking, but it might help.

You can also double click the title bar to expand to fill the screen, and double click it again to return to the previous size. One caveat to this is if your application saves window sizes on close and you close with a full screen window and re-open, it won’t shrink again because the “original size” was full screen when the window was opened

I don't know which ones you've tried, but the most popular ones (Magnet and Rectangle) have worked perfectly for me for years. I routinely forget that I have Rectangle installed.
