  • Hmm. Would be a workaround, but not really what I have and like with 1P.

    I currently have collected about 650 items in my 1P vault. Actually that are two vaults, as I share one with my wife.

    And notes itself aren’t structured, they are just free text. I like to have structured items with specified fields where I can enter my info.

    Also I have several login Items where I don’t just have a user, password, OTP, domain, note. What about if it is a service where the same account is used on different websites? I can save only one domain per password?

    The iOS features are so basic, I can’t imagine switching to them. Although 1P keeps to suck more, as 1P8 is only available via subscription and the 1P7 browser plugin isn’t working properly anymore. :/

    Not a good situation currently.










  • What about mobile apps? I’m on mastodon, but I basically never see the mastodon UI as I stick with Ivory (as I’m a former Tweetbot User on some ancient Microblogging Plattform which has transformed to something… else).

    I don’t want to use some „nice looking“ Webpages which are optimized for mobile screens. I want dedicated Apps, as they offer mostly the much better experience.

    I think the recent run of developing high class Mastodon Apps earlier this year (as the mentioned ancient Plattform kicked them out) gave mastodon an enormous boost.


  • By the way I’m not sure if Microsoft would be that sad if people would use Macs more than windows. As long as Microsoft can continue to sell Microsoft365 and alle their other Azure services. That’s where they make the money. They don’t really make money with windows.

    And with Satya Nadella Microsoft changed its focus: Bring the product to every single platform, not only windows. iCloud is nice, but I don’t see the huge functionality the Office Cloud brings into the game with all the tools Microsoft has to offer. Apple is here far far far away.

    So if in the end, the companies use Macs to access Microsoft365… well. 🤷‍♂️ it hopefully runs better than on windows.

    If hate my HP Elitebook 850 G6. Even with 32 GB RAM. It sucks.


  • Let’s see. I work at a huge corporation (tens of thousands employees each with his own laptop). Until now: only windows, currently since a few years HP Elitebooks (the suck completely if you need a little bit power) and optionally some zBooks.

    Some months ago they introduced MacBooks as another option. But with less support and some things a bit more complicated as the corporation completely relies on the AD user management.

    Unfortunately we have a ton of custom made software applications or specialized software which - of course - run only on windows. So currently, the MacBooks are only an option for the typical Outlook, PowerPoint, Excel user.

    I don’t see this being transferred to complete Mac compatibility within the next 10 years. Probably step by step (we just started using Codebeamer as our Requirements Engineering tool, which is completely web based. That’s nice. :)

    But that’s just the first step. We‘ll see in a few years.





  • Well… for iPhones (and other smartphones) I’m not sure if anything changes. There is a exception in the regulation: if the device is waterproof, it is enough if the manufacturer or repair shops can change the battery for you. They do not need to be user replaceable.

    But probably for MacBooks, there will be replaceable batteries in the future. I don’t see, how Apple will find a way around this regulation.

    Apple Watch: they are waterproof —> nothing changes.

    AirPods: well… are they waterproof? I don’t see user changeable batteries ever. Perhaps they will become waterproof in the future too? :) AirPods, now also for swimming and diving!

    iPads: well: probably there will be changeable batteries in the future. Or we will have underwater Tablets soon. We just need another input method. Probably gestures like the VisionPro?





  • I don’t think passwords have to be changed very often. When you use a password manager and 30 character random generated passwords (or why not 64 characters or even more if the site allows it) separately for each site. If there isn’t a breach: why should I change the password?

    That’s a singular used very complex password which only my password managers knows changed against another singular used very complex password which only my password manager knows.

    If it is long enough, even brute force shouldn’t be a problem if someone is trying every single combination possible for 30 or more characters (where he doesn’t know how much characters he has to find). 🤷‍♂️
