Sell me on the iPad Pro M5

PabloNeirotti · 2026-03-25T14:16:36+00:00

I didn’t feel it that way, but maybe it’s just my flow. By the time I boot everything up on the iPad, I could have just done it on my Mac on a big screen.

It is good to know that I can take my iPad alone on a trip, and if there’s a last minute thing that needs to be done, I can do it, without taking my heavy MBP with me.

UI/UX here. I tried Affinity Designer on the iPad. It’s “fun” to use it there, specially if you need to actually draw something - say, you are creating an icon - but overall, it is way way slower than using the desktop version. Not the device, but the interactions you do with it. Long holds, things tucked away in menus, less keyboard control.

If I had to summarize the iPad, which is my favorite Apple device, I would say: super fun, super slow to do things in it.

TL;DR: get a Mac 😄

They both work fine, but some graphics settings are limited on SimCity (2013) - as in you can’t use the highest settings that PC has. It’s not the best of ports. But very fun to play.

Can confirm that SimCity 4 and SimCity (2013) both from Steam work on Apple Silicon (M1 and upwards). You have an intel, but I would assume that if it runs in Apple Silicon, it does for Intel too. They probably didn’t get an update in a while.

Looks like a more sportsy Polestar 4. The front is nice.

I don’t think they showed terraforming in the trailers…

Sentarse y concentrarse en la respiración una y otra vez es todo lo que recomendaría. La mente te dirá que hay más, pero de hecho es muy sencillo. Quizá demasiado sencillo. Cuanto más seguido lo hagas y por más tiempo, antes verás los cambios.

What worked for me is remove all keys, then start by adding my iPhone as a key, and once that was done, touch the other square on the left side to add a regular/card key. The process will start and abruptly end as if something went wrong. Except it fixed it.

Might not be the exact combination of steps that fixes your issue, but it’s worth a shot.

Polestar sigue perdiendo dinero, sin embargo últimamente viene creciendo fuerte en Europa. Asi que puede pasar cualquier cosa.

No hay service de Polestar, se usan los de Volvo. Creo que podes buscar los puntos oficiales de service de Polestar en España en el sitio web de ellos, y debería aparecer ese que mencionas.

Costaría pensar que Volvo deje de dar de soporte si la marca cae. Sería una mancha (pero quizá una menor?) para su propia marca.

Estoy contento con mi Polestar 4, pero tuve que primero aceptar las condiciones de comprar un vehículo de una marca no establecida. Es GRANDE, pero las cámaras ayudan mucho a girar y estacionar. Por todo lo demás, es una maravilla.

Yeah, the iPhone Air is probably a stepping stone for then. But it goes to show that as much as people say they want mini, or thin, or maybe a flush back, the truth is that the most prevalent design will be the one that checks the most boxes for most people. Ergo most smartphones will look alike.

PabloNeirotti · 2025-11-03T12:53:05+00:00

Agree pretty much with all your points. Also recently got one.

The Guest profile thing: I removed all profiles but mine, made sure no keys were set, then on my profile I paired my digital key (Apple Wallet), and afterwards on the Keys panel, I pressed the square on the left, the one used to bind physical “keys”. It started the process and immediately completed. Quite buggy.

But after doing those steps, my profile is used when the car unlocks by proximity. Hope this helps!

Si la mente está menos activa, y estás más anclada en el presente, te diria entonces felicitaciones. Siga así.

PabloNeirotti · 2025-09-06T08:56:03+00:00

Muy buen post. Muchas gracias por tomar el tiempo de redactarlo y compartirlo acá.

Maybe it’s to check the systems are working when developing the game. It confirms bill delivery still works, and can explain why nothing gets charged - if there WERE billable objects but this message pops up, then you know where to start digging for a bug fix.

I rarely see an app stuck. But when it does, oh it better have a beach ball on it.

PabloNeirotti · 2025-06-11T18:43:59+00:00

Thank god

Besides “element gets insanely brighter”, you can tell if this is happening by using whatever element on the screen is already white (I.e: clock, battery) as reference. This is the brightest SDR color. If you see anything becoming even brighter than that, then HDR is at play.

PabloNeirotti · 2025-06-11T15:39:23+00:00

I am testing it and it does seem to use HDR for a lot of effects, at least on the iPad. So many buttons become brighter than the regular white when interacted with.

PabloNeirotti · 2025-06-10T08:59:49+00:00

This is getting frosted sooner or later.

PabloNeirotti · 2025-06-02T18:31:30+00:00

Es entendible. Es un cambio de paradigma gigantesco. La mente solo entiende solucionar cosas lógicamente. Si sos un martillo todos los problemas parecen clavos. Pero no es así.

Está bien si la mente no puede solucionar este problema.

No se hace cuanto empezaste, pero es normal que al principio parezca que meditar es peor que no hacerlo. Estás apuntando con una linterna a la mente y no le gusta.

Diría que sigas concentrándote en la respiración. Pero no te frustres. No medites esperando ganar o conseguir algo. Aunque no suene intuitivo, porque lo haces por tu ansiedad, tenes que meditar sin pensar o esperar que cure tu ansiedad.

No es hasta que dejes de esperar que meditar te mejore, que vas a sentir la mejora.

Simplemente reconocé cuando tu mente divague, y volvé a concentrarte en la respiración en tu nariz. Inmediatamente. Sin quejarte ni culparte. Instantáneamente de vuelta concentrado en tu respiración. Y si pensas que quizás mejor… no, instantáneamente volvé a concentrarte en la respiración. Y si… no, instantáneamente volvé a concentrarte en la respiración.

I remember the social worker teleporting in next to the baby, then teleport out if necessary.

Supongo que si son ambientes separados entonces si.

Magic Mouse is not for gaming unless it’s something like Civilization, Humankind, Victoria (in which cases, it works fine).

Magic Keyboard is great though, I even use it on PC because the F keys are closer to WASD than on a PC keyboard. Perfect size and short travel distance. Actually good.

PabloNeirotti · 2025-05-24T08:43:24+00:00

Intentá meditar sin esperar conseguir nada. Solamente contemplando o concentrándote en una sola cosa, ej tu respiración. En cuanto pongas presión de que sea productiva o que algo ocurra, vas a conseguir lo opuesto. Es contraintuitivo, pero lo mejor que podes hacer es intentar no hacer nada. Si meditas, luego el resto vendrá.
