4:13 AM
@Monomeeth @bmike I am going to try and get the bot onto superusers main chat room. See this chat for details. Maybe that will make people more comfortable with the idea of a bot here :)
Sidenote: I accidentally created that chat on AskDifferent. It was supposed to be on Superuser but I clicked the wrong button XD

Securing the front row seat for the keynote (in the chat room, not physically attending in San Jose)

😎
 
4:55 PM
Monomeeth wakes up, enters the room, and yawns...
G'Day from Down Under! :)
 
It's tea-time here ;-) been waiting all day, getting bit bored...
 
Awake this late in night @Monomeeth ?
 
@Tetsujin I wish Apple would hold these events just a little later! LOL
@NimeshNeema Well, it's 2:57am for me. :(
Glad you could make it @grg :)
 
@Monomeeth If that happens, it will be 2:57 am for me :-x
 
grg
Just made it with 3 minutes to spare!
Good to see many of us here
 
4:58 PM
I like that the PIP follows across Spaces - means I can keep working
 
Started!
 
@Tetsujin So true!
Welcome @Ashley
 
Thanks @Monomeeth :)
 
Shame they couldn't find a large enough theatre :P
 
I have to admit I've always liked alternative histories.
And welcome to you too @EddGrowl and @MattyV :)
That is pretty cool, but I'd really love to see multi-user support in iOS too!
 
5:16 PM
Welp I missed the first 16
 
Welcome @JBis
 
Thanks :)
 
Independent apps is a good evolution for watchOS.
Welcome @Derek
Welcome @fsb
 
fsb
Hi everyone!
 
What was before watchOS?
 
fsb
5:20 PM
tvos
 
@Monomeeth Thank you
 
Great thanks
 
fsb
I like that modular compact face
 
@JBis Re tvOS, main points were 1. Support for multiple users and 2 Support for Xbox and PlayStation controllers.
@fsb Me too!
 
@Monomeeth Interesting that those controllers are supported. Thanks.
 
fsb
5:26 PM
I haven’t found any need for voice memos on my watch, tho
 
Get on with iOS (and iPadOS) already! ;)
 
fsb
scrolling thru apps on my watch looks not-fun
 
Yeeeeeey iOS!
 
@fsb Agreed! I guess it's really for those times you can't use your iPhone.
Dark mode for iOS is pretty cool! :)
 
Yay Maps! About time they caught up to Google.
 
5:39 PM
@Tetsujin Yeah, a lot of development in that space since iOS 6.
 
I use Apple in the car, but Google if I'm using public transport. tbh, even since Google Maps came to CarPlay, I still use Apple in the car - so better is... better, for me
 
Ooh, I like the Sign in with Apple option!
 
Sign In is great feature. Love it.
 
grg
I hope those privaterelay addresses can be generated manually somehow like aliases on icloud.com
If only Apple was still in the AirPort router business
 
So long bitmoji
 
6:05 PM
iMinority Report?
 
Ooh, I like the direction they're taking with iPadOS!
@Tetsujin LOL
 
Yay Finder for iPad!
 
@JBis Yeah, Finder reinvented with a side serve of eye candy. :)
 
Love the SMB addition
 
iPads are now getting fast enough to be considered 'laptops'
 
6:12 PM
They've had the power for a while I think, just lacked the software. But now they have both :)
 
Custom fonts in apps!
 
@NimeshNeema Steve would be happy
 
Yeah, the iPad is developing nicely now - but in my view needs to support multiple users.
 
grg
Those single finger gestures for moving the cursor are worse than two fingers on the keyboard/screen — they’d better not remove the latter
 
@Monomeeth Yes!! Definitely. Maybe next year?
 
6:18 PM
So, are we gonna have time for a sneak peak at the new Mac Pro?
 
grg
That iPad home screen had “Find My” app
 
@grg Ooh, missed that.
 
Full screen snap (or whatever it was called) was awesome!
 
Here it comes!
 
Modular Mac Pro reveal?
 
6:20 PM
I want one already. I've been waiting for this since 2013
 
@Tetsujin I hear you brother! I have tears...
 
Wow!
 
A....a....tower?
 
Cheese Grate?
 
omfg...
 
6:22 PM
Well at least give us a good graphics card (please no intel)
 
grg
How much is Apple’s 1.5 TB of RAM going to cost?!
 
Monomeeth is now crying... Happy tears!
 
Who needs 1.5 TB of RAM?
 
Who needs more than 640KB?
 
Yay! No intel.
 
6:24 PM
@grg At least we won't have to buy Apple's RAM.
@Tetsujin LOLOL
 
Any guesses for what's the costliest config gonna cost?
 
@NimeshNeema $20,000
 
@JBis It'll be higher than that. :(
 
@Monomeeth Seconded.
 
It's higher on my want list than a new car.
 
6:28 PM
Whoa, that's a huge power supply.
 
@Tetsujin Hugs.
 
Let's start a crowdsourcing campaign to buy @Tetsujin a new Mac Pro! :)
 
yus please ;-)
 
Looks like Apple has been able to deliver!
Curious about the display
 
grg
Logic Pro on stage, it’s been a very long time
 
6:30 PM
They daren't do anything other than deliver after this much delay.
 
@Tetsujin I'm curious what kind of work are you into?
Professional video editing?
 
I grew up as a musician, audio editor/sound engineer.
 
@Tetsujin You must be elated to see Logic Pro in the demo :)
 
1,000 audio tracks?!?!?!
 
Oddly, I've never been a Logic fan, even though I was personally handed my first ever copy of Logic by Dr Lengeling himself.
 
6:33 PM
@Tetsujin I'm afraid I don't know who Dr Lengeling is?
 
I wonder how Boot camp will run on that.
 
the 'inventor' of Logic & at the time, boss of E-Magic before Apple bought it, from way back in the Atari days, when it was Notator
 
100 million pixels?!?!
@JBis It'll run Windows better than any Wintel machine! LOL
 
No word on the display yet?
 
grg
They’ve been covering it for a few minutes now
Retina 6K
 
6:36 PM
I realized I am lagging behind in the stream by a few minutes.
I am curious to know about existing Macs that can drive the display.
 
$1,200 for the monitor?
 
Ooh, portait mode! Love it.
 
/me fills out an extra lottery ticket...
 
Amazing!
 
grg
Base $6k Mac Pro
 
6:42 PM
That's prettty cheap tbh
wait whaaaaat? Apple getting into server game again?
 
grg
Haha everyone laughing at the stand being extra
 
is the VESA stand 'one more thing' ?
 
@Tetsujin Apparently so... :(
So, I'll be keeping the iMac Pro for a while yet, so I can get a Mac Pro on the secondhand market.
 
I think so. They've stripped it more & more, to become less & less...
So either 'fix it' .. or break it.
 
Curious if my iPhone 5s will run iOS 13?
 
6:45 PM
@grg Exactly! :(
@NimeshNeema I doubt it. At least an iPhone 6, but more likely an iPhone 6s.
 
I liked iTunes with Apps - I cannot be bothered piddling around on my phone to find stuff.
 
Wow. They didn't kill it.
@Tetsujin I agree.
 
What about macOS in iTunes?
2
 
I think you have to be under 25 to get where they're going with all this.
 
@Tetsujin ?
 
6:48 PM
@Tetsujin I don't get it?
 
podcasts, TV... I don't get it. I watch TV on my... ermm... TV
 
grg
They introduce Sidecar with Apple Pencil having just removed Ink on macOS :(
 
Duet display, Luna display Sherlocked!
 
Welcome @nohillside :)
 
@grg when did they do this :(
 
6:52 PM
I love Apple's commitment to accessibility!
 
@NimeshNeema Me too!
 
Yay for FindMy - offline
 
@grg FindMy just like you spotted!
 
Offline FindMy - Wow!
 
fsb
Project Catalyst sounds familiar.....
 
6:56 PM
Screen Time for macOS: Spending way too much time on Ask Different!
 
PSA: Remember to backup before updating to new, especially beta, software!
 
Hi folks. Looks I missed some fun already
 
@NimeshNeema LOL I hear you!
@nohillside Yep, turns out my New Years "Welcome to 2019, the year of the new Mac Pro!" message was spot on! Oh, and a whole lot of other stuff too - but the new Mac Pro is the BIG one for me.
 
Must get a new Mac with T2 chip.
 
Welcome @MichaelKlyachman
 
7:03 PM
@Monomeeth Where's our party treat? I am already starving :P
 
@NimeshNeema Yeah, my stomach has started growling for an early breakfast. LOL
 
@Monomeeth Have a 🥪
 
@Monomeeth Will need to check out some summary reports later
 
I am thinking about writing a WWDC 2019 Keynote summary on Meta.
 
@NimeshNeema I like the idea!
 
7:10 PM
What the?!?! SwiftUI looks awesome!
 
Looks like there is less need to worry about connecting code to UI elements in the future
 
@nohillside Sure, once the video gets released (for screenshots) and will take a day or two to draft!
 
Reminds me a bit of React Native.
 
@nohillside Very true.
 
macOS Flying Squirrel would be so neat to have!
 
grg
7:16 PM
No release date mentioned for Mac Pro?
 
@NimeshNeema Watch out for Apple droneOS next year :-)
 
@grg Available in the Fall. No actual date.
@nohillside LOL!
 
grg
@Monomeeth Oh I missed that, thanks
 
Well, I have to go now. Have to drive an hour-and-a-half for work today, and be there by 7am, and I need to get ready! :(
Catch you all again soon!
 
Bye :)
 
7:21 PM
@Monomeeth Thanks for hosting the event. You drive safe.
Writing answers and reviewing queues can now resume normally on AD :D
 
 
1 hour later…
8:38 PM
Sorry I wasn't able to join.
Does anyone use Zoom software? we only use it on mac and I'm curious how this might work on iOS? I've reached out to JAMF for more details.
 
9:11 PM
@bmike I use Zoom very often for meetings, mostly use it on macOS and have used it less frequently on iOS but for Audio.
 
 
1 hour later…
10:25 PM
 
10:48 PM
@NimeshNeema Thanks - so you don’t have to set it up for a few people or several remote ones?
 
@bmike Sorry, I don't get the context here. I simply use the iOS client to join a meeting, either via clicking a URL or manually entering/copy-pasting the meeting ID.
 
@NimeshNeema No worries - I didn’t summarize the link above. It’s about MDM pushing the meeting settings to multiple devices.
We love it for joining meetings and this is about setting up rooms with several devices - all bound to one subscription. Zoom Room - a room where people can show up and video conference. We’re expecting to several dozens of $k us for the initial deployment for a handful of rooms in a couple sites.
 
11:05 PM
@bmike Any possibility you have room for hiring extra hands (heads)? I am still looking for work :-|
 
11:21 PM
@NimeshNeema I have nothing remote in my department. I’ll post if we open up anything.
Lots of industry specific openings but mostly in the US. sgsco.com/join-our-team
