The fact that macOS is increasingly becoming iOS-like in both UX and approach to security is not obvious? It's pretty obvious to me from the past few macOS releases.

There are huge, important segments of the macOS user base that require the ability to compile and run their own applications, locally. macOS has pretty much taken over all of academic science & education, & personal workstations for government research. It is the default platform for developers of all kinds in Silicon Valley. As Steve Balmer once argued, it's developers that matter to the long-term health of a platfo…

They don't have to lock it down all the way, just make dev license mandatory for any local code compilation.

Great way to tell you have low standard and can't detect latency. The same thing has been said about the iPad Mirroring, expect it's effectively unusable for anyone half serious if you don't use the wired mode. For a quick tech demo, it's all fun and games, but when there is real shit to do, nobody wants to fight their tools.

fix your network. i send a display to my ipad to run audio mixing in realtime for work. 30fps, but more importantly consistent pen input for control. been doing this for 3+ years regularly

Nothing to do with my network, it has disappointing latency for drawing applications (it's not just about the theoretical latency of input, you have to consider the whole chain, with translation to softwares). Pretty much every pro reviewer has said has much.

I can see why it is completely fine for your application but you can't say the same for other applications.

Besides it doesn't even make much sense to need that when the thing has such a powerful processor, Apple need to get their shit together and have it run real Mac software and that's it.

you're right. 11.32ms of latency might be untenable for some use cases.
