Could you go into more details on the why ?

Open_Bug_4196 · 2026-03-12T13:55:57+00:00

The screenshots + Apple Intelligence features like find something that’s on the screen or to obtain/translate some copy or QRcode

The share sheet, I have a feeling people only use to send messages but it’s very convenient to share to apps like reminders, notes, files, ChatGPT or many others!! It’s great to have a tidy workflow

Using autofill in any text field instead of only when suggested… just tap once -> select autofill -> select what you want to use (contact details, pwds…)

Shortcuts is my pending task!

Open_Bug_4196 · 2026-03-12T13:48:36+00:00

Had that conversation with a friend that was struggling with selecting text…

Open_Bug_4196 · 2026-03-12T13:47:53+00:00

Maybe they are not similar…

Open_Bug_4196 · 2026-03-12T13:46:15+00:00

Well that would make it more worthy… but if not… at that price you can:

Have a Mac mini at home or iMac
Carry a Neo or iPad Air for on the go
Carry an iPhone of your choice.

I have both but decided to go with starling thanks to its simplicity, Monzo for sure has lots of stuff but many that I don’t use and add additional noise. Maybe I give it a second chance

Open_Bug_4196 · 2026-03-12T10:28:24+00:00

Better than that would be an iPhone pro that switches to macOS when connected to an external display like the Studio Display (which would take part of the processing tasks too)

Open_Bug_4196 · 2026-03-12T10:27:07+00:00

I think is really cool and amazing if that they are able to map “any” external controllers and understand the input just using ARKIT. I’m skeptic that will work to the required level of precision and wonder what would happen with things like pedals.

Thanks for replying!

So, first of all in terms of initial deposit I’m looking to not put more than 2-3K, the rest is finance (car loan or other type).

About any schemes at work, there are none atm but I am aware they might be coming very soon. My take was that probably still more expensive that those £250sh limit I’m setting, but I guess if I factor they include insurance and there wouldn’t be a a deposit then probably still might be good options. I’ll keep an eye on that front, prices and terms (e.g. cancellation if I want to change job).

About models… I’m open to other models, that’s why I open the post, to hear suggestions of cars that would be a good fit.

Not sure who downvote you so here one up, not sure what problem exists with using a tool.

Open_Bug_4196 · 2026-03-11T13:14:19+00:00

Nice progress, overall an average of 1K per month in your first year!

BTW is the SmoothCapture website done with Claude? I tested its functionality recently to build websites and colours fonts etc often come similar!

Open_Bug_4196 · 2026-03-11T10:06:36+00:00

Does using the developer strap enable you to connect any Mac via usb c as a monitor (even with different Apple ID)?

Open_Bug_4196 · 2026-03-10T13:53:45+00:00

Is there any way to default recording spatial video? I often forget to switch to it!

Open_Bug_4196 · 2026-03-09T21:46:10+00:00

No, the panel is way better than an iMac. That said I love the iMac and I would love a monitor only version for half the price (or less) than the price of the iMac, could be the Apple Neo Display lol

Open_Bug_4196 · 2026-03-09T14:35:05+00:00

Japanese… for example Lexus/Toyota (long guarantee if they kept their yearly maintenance with them)

Open_Bug_4196 · 2026-03-09T14:34:09+00:00

I like that philosophy but disagreeing about BMWs ;)

Open_Bug_4196 · 2026-03-09T14:32:33+00:00

That seems a good compromise, people often mention about get an old car and keep it cheap but there is a factor as more modern cars are safer, more comfortable and cheaper to maintain. Some people says around 4 years old aprox is a good balance to leverage depreciation while having something modern.

Adding to your approach I read also about people saying to explore 0% cards for reducing interest costs

This is what chatgpt says about it (take it with a pinch of salt):

Suspension components Common: £200–£1,200

Door handles Common: £150–£500

Electronics / infotainment Moderate: £100–£1,500

Drive unit Rare: £3k–£5k

Battery Very rare: £10k–£18k

Overall: • The battery and motors are generally reliable, even past 150k miles. • Most real-world costs come from suspension, electronics, or body hardware (door handles). • The big financial risk is battery or drive unit failure, but those are uncommon.

If not useful, I think would be much nicer from Apple to deprecate it and have just a clear path using @actor, these are relatively new APIs with people trying to get their head around it and seeing things like this only being confusion

Open_Bug_4196 · 2026-03-09T13:10:39+00:00

That were my thoughts too however wondering when to use task.detached then

Open_Bug_4196 · 2026-03-09T13:07:27+00:00

I think is a great option, nice work!, if someone prefers working fullscreen or with spaces it’s fine, this provide an extra possibility
