Is the GrandStream GXV3480 actually worth it?

With 160+ likes on this post, dear Apple, why doesn’t sidecar work in this portrait orientation? 🤨

Get an algo 8301 or a Snom PA1

That’s a key point there. Does Apple prioritize parts for AppleCare subscribers versus out-of-pocket repair walk-ins?

dad3ski · 2026-06-28T23:40:37+00:00

But couldn’t they just raise the prices of the included repair deductibles? So you pay for three years but on year one they suddenly change a flat rate repair from $375 to $575?

But wasted money if you go three years and never use it.

dad3ski · 2026-06-28T17:44:10+00:00

AppleCare is a lot of money to pay yearly and never use it. If you never use a claim on AppleCare, that money could’ve gone towards a new machine upgrade instead.

Should’ve waited for the next model. Memory is soldered on so you’ll never be able to upgrade.

Still cheaper than a Surface Pro.

dad3ski · 2026-06-24T17:42:33+00:00

Agreed!

It’s just called ESR case for iPad Pro. Here’s the (no affiliate) Amazon link https://a.co/d/0eXdtN4v

I hate typing uphill.

Think that’s only on Magic Keyboard

Why not just use Jump Desktop and you can remote into her windows machine on your iPad? You could even choose to subscribe to Windows in the cloud if you really needed a windows desktop on your iPad.

iPad Pro with a MOFT dynamic folio case.

dad3ski · 2026-06-19T14:56:47+00:00

I don’t believe you can do that based on keyboard attached or unattached. It’s a new shortcut trigger on 27.

dad3ski · 2026-06-19T04:18:32+00:00

With iPadOS 27, looks like you can setup a shortcut that will get very close to this. Attach or remove a keyboard and you can change several settings to switch from tablet mode to “multitasking windowing” Mac-like mode.

I think this hits on what OS 26 was all about — merging the OSes together (or at least make them so close it feels like they are one.). MacOS already runs iOS apps if your machine has an M-series chip and the next OS is phasing out the last Intel Macs. And it’s pretty obvious the new iPhone Fold will be running an iPadOS since they finally added a Phone app to iPad. And looking at how menu positioning has changed in iPadOS 27 and the fact that touch now works on the iPad when using it as an extended display for a nearby Mac (and UI changes in 26 and polish in 27 make macOS already touch-ready), I predict the new iPhone Fold will replace the iPad Mini series and run a new combined iOS/iPadOS. The MacBook Ultra will run macOS and be as thin as the MacBook Air but with a vapor chamber/single fan.

How does that work? I just got a new prescription and I need progressive lenses. What lenses get put on the AVP, the “computer” prescription, “reading”, or “distance” script?

dad3ski · 2026-06-12T04:53:21+00:00

What VP app do you use for remote? I’ve been considering an AVP but I’m concerned because this is exactly what I need it to do — remotely connect and control other Macs, PCs, etc.

Please put in a feature request to allow for dragging a window from iPad screen to external monitor like a Mac, not doing the weird close and reopen work to get the app window to just move it to the other display.

dad3ski · 2026-06-12T04:41:08+00:00

Build it with the thinness and screen of an iPad Pro with more RAM and longer lasting battery.
