Accidental Tech Podcast
684: It’s Not What Young People Do

What about family passwords?

Accidental Tech Podcast
684: It’s Not What Young People Do

My understanding is that you can share pass keys or maybe not originally, but certainly now.

But there's a lot of stuff that, you know, one of the great things about 1Password is that it has family vaults or you can get a family account with a family vault where, you know, Aaron and I will share a bunch, if not most of our passwords.

So I know nothing about this, even though I should.

I don't know, Marco, if you have thoughts on this, and let's start with you if so, but I'd very much like to hear John's perspective as well.

Well, it sounds like I'm going to need to start embracing them then.

John Fabridius writes, do you think that the eight gigs of RAM constraint in the MacBook Neo helps keep or make macOS lean, a self-imposed limitation that can prevent lazy bloat, or is the iOS team cursing the hardware cost-cutting people?

Well, probably a little of both, right?

I don't know.

I will say that...

I'm friends with a handful of Apple engineers and without disclosing, and they've never told me anything secret, but without like blowing up their spot or anything, I will say that all of them talk about perf or performance a lot.

684: It’s Not What Young People Do

Like, you know, just, oh, I've been working on some perf stuff lately and that's all they'll ever tell me.

684: It’s Not What Young People Do

It's never anything more than that.

But I hear that not infrequently.

And if you think about it,

You know, if things perform well and maybe not specifically around RAM, but if things perform well, that can also reduce like a battery drain and strain and so on.

So maybe John's got a point here, but I think Apple just genuinely really cares about this stuff, irrespective of the fact that they have low RAM devices still floating around in the world.

Finally, Keith Heaton writes, how long until we see an iPhone with an M chip or an iPad Pro with the ability to plug into a Thunderbolt dock or a studio display and present macOS to you?

I just know that a Mac inside your pocket will eventually happen.
