Well, wth, we'll stick with the other stuff Apple hasn't managed to get done." Both OSs have related codebase, hardware architecture is one family as well, we can get this done!" "Great idea! We're going to make it compatible with four pieces of iOS hardware and the current OS, and on the Mac side with all newly released M1 and up machines. And with good reason.Īpple oth, has now almost managed to achieve complete vertical integration. Universal Control is something only Apple can do and it always leaves me scratching my head as to why other OS platforms don't do things like that.īecause the first dozen teams of developers sitting down to even contemplate how to approach taming the inevitably backwards-compatibility-oriented codebase of Windows and the absurd varieties of Android versions and -flavors out there would all throw themselves off the nearest cliff like the Lemmings of old. Security is part of the reason, as is the push to Cloud all of the things, but I swear AppleTalk worked better than AirDrop and Continuity, and we though even at the time that Appletalk was awful. Now things are slicker, but somehow flakier and less consistent. It's sort of crazy how local-network peer-to-peer file sharing seems to have gotten more and more difficult over time. (lots of spreadsheets and teamspeak donchaknow)īecause an average user has network shares set up at home and can access them from an iPad. Heck, I used to use it to play Eve a decade ago. I'm typing this on a keyboard/mouse attached to my Mac, but it's currently using a chrome session on my PC. However, 'same kb/mouse, several computers' isn't sci fi. Only clipboards are sync'd, however we do have network shares for a reason. Now try drag and drop between computers with that. Only difference is now the ipad can be connected too. Universal Control is serious "why haven't we had this bit of sci-fi for ten years already?" territory.
