Window tiling! If you drag a single window to the top does it maximize, and unmaximize when you drag it away? That's been my most wanted feature in macOS since forever (yes I have tried the third party ones). I don't really care about tiling multiple windows, but I've always hated the macOS full screen behavior, and before that the old green button behavior, so an alternative that finally works well (the way Windows…
Although I don’t use MacOS, the fact that you can now control an iPhone from a Mac will probably be reverse engineered to allow Linux to do the same at some point. A lot of automation opportunities

It's DMA. Certainly part of it is punitive, but it makes sense, too - building and especially supporting interoperability for these protocols is a burden that they can avoid by not shipping features to the EU. They're free to change the key exchange, APIs, wire format, etc. without having to deal with documentation, key issuance, etc. outside of their walls. And, being forced to open up Screen Mirroring would reduce…
> supporting interoperability for these protocols is a burden Also an unprecedented and unacceptable privacy and security risk. You would be allowing third parties the ability to continuously record your iPhone's screen. Which includes websites you browse, apps you open, health information, text messages etc. And the Mac is so much open that you could do this, have a local model to transcribe it and ship it to a remo…
Are governments recording the screens of Android users?

PresButan is mandatory for me on macOS so I can make the Delete/Backspace key delete files.
Genuine q: is cmd–backspace too much? I’m in general pretty satisfied with the Finder keyboard navigation/editing. Especially with “enter” for rename, copy/paste/cut/move and deletion too…

Apple is most certainly not the company you want to purchase products from if you're afraid of major updates. They are far more aggressive and eager to break things than Microsoft.
Back in 1991, there was an uproar, an uproar I tells you, because System 7 required nearly a megabyte of memory instead of the 600K System 6 could run with. Sure, most users barely had more than a megabyte of memory, but it paints a pattern for sure.

> How do I do multi-touch gestures with a single cursor? The same way you do them on Mac. With a trackpad.
But with a trackpad you cannot see what you are touching. You see a single cursor on the screen. If you touch two things on your iPhone you know exactly which two things you are manipulating. With a single cursor on the Mac, no matter how many fingers you use you only manipulate one thing. This seems to me a difficult challenge in mashing up the wildly different interaction paradigms. I'd love to see how Apple solves…
Installing it on my mid-2015 MBP thanks to Open Core Patcher!

I'm sitting here thinking - man, how is it possible that they can make the best laptop hardware no contest, and yet I still get blurry icons when connecting to a non-retina external display? Something that the cheapest Windows laptop money can buy would do flawlessly? Macs are great and so is macOS, but it's not that good, at the end of the day it's just a computer
I realize it's a very Apple ecosystem thing to shore up gaps in macOS with 3rd party apps, but BetterDisplay can do this for you: https://github.com/waydabber/BetterDisplay (Run non-retina displays at 2X frame buffer for proper anti-aliasing)
...for now; until Apple disallows any kind of system extension or desktop UI enhancements.
I’ve already upgraded everything in my home. All our phones, our watches, our HomePods, our laptops, and our iPads, and the AppleTv. It’s pretty cool! Still playing with things but upgrade went smoothly and I like the customizability.
Does this "iPhone Mirroring" thing work with iPads, or just iPhones?
Thanks for reminding me I totally forgot. Gonna try this with my phone and my laptop.
Here’s one for HN readers, you can now find jq in /usr/bin/ in Sequoia.
