In trying to take a positive view on this... Voice command and Sidecar might make it easier to step aside in a demo or presentation.
Sidecar might be handy as a sketch input. Maybe. You know, like an alternative mouse. Sidecar might be a handy place to put the Message Box or a debug window. Screen Time might be handy for those of us who feel we goof off too much. (I use Qbserve for time management.) Color filter options can help those with color vision deficiencies and help others see problem colors on a broader context. The Notes enhancements look interesting. (I am readying for an electronic lab notebook, but Notes might delay that; I'll try it.) Being able to run some iOS apps on the Mac is cool, but I wish it could run all, transparently. It is frustrating to find just the right app and, oh, it is iOS only. Isolating the system from stuff I try is cool. Metal! However, crowd-sourced Bluetooth locating is scary. And the first time to run an app can take a while, it seems, but maybe that is really a good thing. > On Jul 22, 2019, at 8:43 AM, Bob Sneidar via use-livecode > <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > > Sounds like you are inferring a lot more into that PR fluff piece than is > warranted.
