I need to stop wasting money on #ipads. They are good at consuming content. Watching videos, reading websites, reading emails. Anything more complicated than that and it falls down. Tablets are horrible devices.

I’m trying to do something basic. I need to compare a calendar to a reservation pdf and a hotel website. It’s infuriating at every step. First I have to find the PDF in files which includes a random assortment of unknown garbage. Is it local or in iCloud? Who is to know?

Then I need to very carefully with my human fingers try to select text. After a few tries, got it. Ok what is the magical incantation to make it so this half goes away and I can select a new half? Is it 4 fingers? 5 fingers?

Every 3-4 years #Apple shows a sizzle reel of the new iPad where I am tricked into thinking you can do actual human work with this thing. You cannot and never can.

“Just buy a keyboard case”. That’s a goddamn laptop and a terrible one at that. I have a great laptop. I don’t need a junky wrapped in plastic shitty one.

@matdevdug I find it incredibly stupid that by default the downloads folder on iOS is synced to iCloud.. Like they give you 5GB of free space and it's immediately filled up with all the shit they auto-enable. Backups, documents, photos - then they nag you endlessly with notifications when it's remotely close to being full.

I've bought a keyboard case for every tablet I've ever owned, including android ones - it's always a subpar experience. You can't sit them on your lap and they're super cramped. Almost better off just getting a wireless keyboard to carry around with you. At least it will be comfortable and will still be usable on other devices.
