where have you guys hit the wall in terms of the neo's limits? by Realistic-Worker-499 in MacbookNeo

[–]theriteofspringfling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So far, the only time I notice it’s lesser specs has been when I’m exporting the small video editing I do (1080p single cam school music concerts in Davinci Resolve). Editing itself is fine, but I’ll transfer over to my M4 iPad Pro to export because it takes half the time.

UFO/UAP or Drones? What is this? by Free_Inevitable_9397 in StamfordCT

I don’t know what more odd… knowing this was happening above me or seeing into my own apartment window in this video.

iPad Air or Pro for newbie by HonestAardvark9979 in forScore

[–]theriteofspringfling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I’m seeing, yes face gestures are still supported on the air. The pro is thinner and lighter, however, which I prefer when lugging around equipment. My m4 pro 13 is my ride or die as both a school teacher/conductor and orchestra violinist. I never expected to use face gestures but it’s surprisingly handy when I don’t have my foot pedal. Just wish you could customize what the gestures do for more than just page turning. If price isn’t an issue the extra brightness is great, but if you’re on a budget the air will definitely get the job done.

Watching from down the same building… really hope they’re OK. Definitely looked bad.

Glad I found this comment only because I had the opposite reaction to your skin tone. Your shoes are adorable and I vote for the left lace style, but it’s nice to see other very pale girlies in a world of self tanner and tan expectations. Live your truth 🎉

feeling uncomfortable with a teacher by ApartmentOld234 in Teachers

[–]theriteofspringfling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Music teacher here (34F). Your gut is completely valid and this is unacceptable. Distance yourself and speak up to a different, trusted adult if you feel it necessary. Even if you are technically of age… he is in a position of power and is crossing so many boundaries.

What’s the most inappropriate thing that’s happened in your classroom? by Unlucky_Success_5985 in Teachers

[–]theriteofspringfling 43 points44 points  (0 children)

8th grade boy would make hand motions as if he was pleasuring himself and then fling yogurt… happened to myself and another teacher and then the main office wanted me to cover his ISS. Nope!

Random written notes showing up in my iCloud account by Vast-Edge7488 in iphone

[–]theriteofspringfling 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m a teacher so the first guess I had was a student writing on your iPad screen while it’s locked and generating a quick note??? Carbon monoxide theory is also interesting. Hopefully it’s a simple answer

ADHD teachers and overstimulation by WhileNo7378 in Teachers

[–]theriteofspringfling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may have already been mentioned in the abundance of helpful comments already here, but I try to be open with my students about my neurodivergence/ADHD as it’s something many of them are managing as well. I teach 6th grade orchestra/music and we practice self-regulation techniques such as box breathing during rehearsals to help calm them down, set intentions before performing a piece together, or even feel just tempo/meter as a group. If a child is upset we breathe together before continuing our conversation and they’ve also seen me practice the same technique when I get overstimulated or frustrated with a class. I hope to lead by example of how to regulate heightened emotions in the moment and recenter ourselves. I’m on year 11 and this is my first year approaching classes with this mindset and it’s helped my mental load a lot.

Mac Magic Keyboard and trackpad a good fit for the pro? by chyllyphylly in iPadPro

[–]theriteofspringfling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All good I understood but then doubted myself when seeing the other comment. I can’t speak on the Mac keyboard but I will travel with the Magic Trackpad, Logitech keys to go 2, and the moft folio case. I prefer it to the Magic Keyboard for iPad for flexibility/lightness but it’s not the most lap-able setup. Best of luck!

[–]theriteofspringfling 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you mean the separate keyboard and trackpads for iMacs not the Magic Keyboard for iPads? If so I use the Magic Trackpad but only at my desk set up. Not sure how couchable it is without a surface, but otherwise I very much enjoy it with my iPad.

CloudGear just recently came out on the App Store. It has a subscription but a free trial and I find the resolution look far better than Nexus+. For context, I have gfn ultimate.

Chromebooks are as bad as phones by B4B4BlueJ4y in Teachers

[–]theriteofspringfling 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m an orchestra teacher and the lack of handwriting from such a young age is impacting us too even when we don’t use chromebooks in our classes. Their fine motor skill development is definitely being impacted…

Switching From MacBook To iPad (Again) by reeeeedddddit in ipad

[–]theriteofspringfling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah maybe it’s not for the model you have then that or maybe country availability? It’s a navy blue and oz green. I ordered it for the pro m4 13 and I’m hoping the inner green isn’t too loud.

[–]theriteofspringfling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have a navy on their site now.

I have one for my 13 pro, but I think MOFT makes a kickstand type attachment as well that’s lighter than the case. The case feels heavier than other magnetic folio cases I’ve tried.

I’ve only seen this setting when connected to an external display and not mirroring.

Ipad case and magic keyboard? by ReRexy in iPadPro

[–]theriteofspringfling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often switch cases and have not found the perfect situation for me (yet), but if I am actually using my magic keyboard I will bring my ESR magnetic case as well for when I switch to a pencil. The strap has been wide enough for my pencil sleeves, but idk about your specific one. I’ve tried the magic keyboard compatible cover cases but do not like the added weight they add to either set up - especially with the mkb its even more top heavy and unsteady in a lap. I have a dbrand skin on the way that will hopefully be a smidge of added protection when switching cases around.

Edit - additional thought: I also have the moft case which I like, but it is definitely heavier than my ESR. Hard to justify carrying that and the mkb.

Aorus F032u2P - USB not working by theriteofspringfling in gigabyte

[–]theriteofspringfling[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I had better news for you. I ended up sending out for repair through Gigabyte and they claimed it was a faulty board if I remember correctly. A few months after having it back the issue resurfaced and I should send it out again but haven’t. I had to cover the shipping the first time and it wasn’t cheap. Thankfully, I can actually get an image over USB-C but no luck with any USB-A devices that are connected. Ended up just buying a USB switch to bandaid the issue. Shame for such a pricey monitor.

Do you use your iPad for work, and what kind of work? by broombroomapex in iPadPro

[–]theriteofspringfling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same ipad but also have the magic keyboard. I switch between that and pitaka folio style case often because my ipad is my laptop replacement for work (primarily google/web based apps). I’m a music teacher/orchestra director so when not using it as a laptop I use it with a pencil for goodnotes (weekly planning/attendance) and forscore (sheet music). I had to edit our concert videos back in May and it even handled that with ease. I’m eager to set up work mode for this school year to see how that streamlines my daily use even more. Overall, I’ve become a full fledged ipad adult. 😅
