Michael Cook writes, does MacBook Neo now mean that Apple will likely never allow the iPhone to plug into a monitor and be used like a computer the way you can with an iPad or a Samsung DeX?

I think this would be awesome, except I don't think it would be as awesome as I think it would.

And I really just don't see Apple doing it.

I think having this mythical dual boot or dual mode iPad would be incredible.

But I just really don't see Apple doing it.

I mean, they're steadfastly refusing, mostly, to allow windowing on iPadOS.

I know, obviously, that's different now, but they certainly steadfastly refused it for years.

I just don't see this happening.

And I don't think it really has anything to do with MacBook Neo.

I just don't think this is Apple's style.

So I've been, I don't know if quiet quitting is really the right term of art slash phrase for what I've been doing, but I've been, for lack of a better way of describing it, quiet quitting my sonology.

I still, in and of itself, I still actually really do love my sonology.

I have a DS1621+, I believe.

If I can, I'll put a link in the show notes, but I don't think it's made anymore, so I may or may not be able to find a good link, but I'll put something in there.

But I have been working on trying to set myself up to have the Synology go away and be okay with it.

Now, I would still need a giant ass array of disks because I have a gazillion files.

I think I have something like 10 to 15 terabytes worth of stuff, of active stuff on the Synology.

And about that much again in free space at the moment.

Um, but, but I, I really been disappointed with the path that Synology has been going recently, which if you squint, doesn't look that different than Apple services.

It's a different application, but it looks kind of similar.
