No, as a webdeveloper I don’t know anything about your custom windows server environment and how to share files between all kinds of devices on it.

Same here, try to de-google my life while sitting comfortably in the Apple ecosystem as the happy hypocrite that I am. But the ecosystem is also the main reason to stay, not that it is hard to get out, but it is just a vastly superior experience if you don’t want to spend unlimited hours to customize every goddamn setting. Also, the ecosystem’s main feature ‘continuity’ is unmatched on other systems.

Love Day9, have been following him since the dailies, with Monday as highlight of the week. Stuck around for Mostly Walking, which he still does. Also, at least once a year I rewatch the three VODs of Day9 teaching itmeJP The Build, The Pause, and voidrays… gets me everytime.

But the list goes on: https://www.apple.com/macos/continuity/ and you can probably do many of those things, but the smoothness and how it all just “magically” works I’ve never experienced on other OSes. But then again, is it worth the premium price? Probably not for most people. Also, you can’t miss something you never had. But if you ever experienced it, you will feel you are stepping down if you leave the ecosystem.

See that’s fair criticism and I understand where your frustration comes from. That indeed sounds like a oversight.

Oh no I get that, it’s definitely a nice-to-have not a must-have. And it’s those little things I personally am willing to pay a premium price for. It just negates the argument of “doesn’t work with windows, I don’t like apple”. No it doesn’t but then again android doesn’t do this either.

See that’s not what we’re talking about here. what’s cool in the apple ecosystem is I can copy something on my iPhone to the clipboard and then press cmd-v on my Mac to paste it (Or visa versa). It’s these little continuity things in the ecosystem apple haters don’t even know about I think. Another example, if I place my iPad next to my Mac I can push my mouse cursor of the screen onto the iPad, grab a file, drag it back to my Mac. Wirelessly.
