M1 iPad Pro? Interesting. But I'm probably not buying one. - Beryllium Apr 20, 10:40
This probably isn't the event for me, since all I'm interested in is the next generation of MacBook Pro -- nm - Beryllium Apr 20, 10:20 2
- Same -- nm - spamlet Apr 20, 10:32 1
  - although magic keyboard with touchID is tempting -- nm - Beryllium Apr 20, 10:34
OK, so Apple is leading the charge to turn what was previously free - podcasts - into a paid service? Got it. -- nm - Mop Apr 20, 10:14 8
- Spotify says hi! -- nm - spamlet Apr 20, 10:15 7
  - Indeed. This is very Apple like in that they watched what others did and then decided to enter the market. -- nm - JD Apr 20, 10:26 1
    - It was pretty well telegraphed when they changed the terminology in the podcast app to follow from subscribe. -- nm - spamlet Apr 20, 10:30
  - I don't listen to podcasts on spotify because I hate the interface. they still have ads on paid spotify, right? -- nm - amanda jeans Apr 20, 10:25 4
    - No. I pay for the service, zero ads -- nm - JaxSean Apr 20, 11:00 1
      - Wait, if you mean in podcasts, I have no idea. I don't listen to podcasts. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 20, 11:07
    - No idea because I don’t use it for the same reason. - spamlet Apr 20, 10:29
    - ... not that I know of? At least nothing that's ever stood out as obnoxious. But I don't podcast, so maybe that area is different. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 20, 10:26
That article doesn't seem to have any details as to what AirTags are. -- nm - Mop Apr 20, 10:13 3
- They are Find My for random objects. Lost keys, backpacks, etc. Like that other tag thing, whatever that was called. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 20, 10:14 2
  - Tile! I was drawing a blank. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 20, 10:16 1
    - That's fine. I figured that's what it was. Just sloppy reporting on their part. -- nm - Mop Apr 20, 10:22
