The article says it doesn’t add any lag, but I am skeptical. At the very least there will be a buffer to sync playback with the display. Apple didn’t design this feature with this use case in mind, so I doubt they put in any special effort to minimize latency.
In my experience, when random people say they “don’t feel any lag” with something but don’t put up any numbers to back it up, I usually end up feeling quite a bit of lag that they just don’t notice for one reason or another.
I think you’re right to be skeptical. I keep meaning to try it myself, but I’m easily distracted. I’ll likely find motivation in the fall when I go on vacation.
As someone that both runs Linux at home as a daily driver and runs an infrastructure and ops team for a company.
The threats against the two are totally different and modern businesses need things like detection and response capabilities. Most of which don’t have Linux desktop counterparts.
I would like the ability to stream and watch on-demand Premier League matches in the US from a single subscription. Apple TV+ or whichever provider, doesn't matter to me, I just want to be able to watch the footy as my schedule permits.
Reddit is going crazy because they are calling him a millionaire. I’m sorry, but making a million dollars over the past decade makes him paid less than a regular developer, and 1 million dollars can’t even buy you a crack shack in Canada.
Remember, Canada is the most expensive place to live. We have the most expensive housing and internet/data plans in the entire world.
Think logically. Don’t think like childish Redditors.
It was made available in the update that was released today. So you’ll need to update the app and then when you launch it after the update you should be presented with it.
“Toot” to Americans is another word for fart. I believe they use toot because it fits in with the Mastodon animal theme. Which makes sense. But when the whole twitter migration started, it was off-putting to a lot of people.
Technically, Apple allows side-loading too. App developers do it every day, not only on their own devices but they can distribute apps outside the App Store to beta testers, journalists, etc. I've got beta versions of apps from half a dozen developers on my iPhone.
A few hoops need to be jumped through, but they're pretty minor - basically click "I understand the risk" a few times.
I suspect Japan wants side loading to be a smooth experience that works just as well as installing an app from the main Apple/Google stores. That's definitely not the case right now, users are heavily encouraged to only use the official store and there's a bunch of APIs/etc that cannot be used if you sideload.
