One thing I’ve taken for granted on other platforms is simple batch operations. Want to rename MORE THAN one file? I’m SOL on the Apple Files app.

I make do with (buggy) homebrew shortcuts at the moment for such things.

Because it’s extremely basic. I want to do more sophisticated file management. At the moment I kludge Apple's Files app with home brewed Shortcuts but I find Shortcuts to be buggy. There are some small utilities available in the App Store to supplement but there are not very cost effective.

Because they can

Waze has a toggle called ‘avoid difficult intersections’.

Additionally, Waze has crowd sourced real time traffic hazard reporting (every Waze user can contribute).

Keep in mind that as his polling decreases, his chances of going to prison increase. You do the math … the deal will be - I don’t cause trouble via magaTards, you let me keep all my ill gotten wealth & give me a pardon. This was essentially the calculus with Nixon. The promise of avoiding political violence.

If it goes down, this will be the eighth time a shonk has been pardoned

I’m old enough to have lived through Nixon.

The world was shocked and infuriated when that thing was pardoned and got to have libraries named after him as he lived the rest of his life in wealth and privilege.

You may be right, but prepare yourself for the possibility of the wealthy closing ranks around one of their own ‘for the good of the country’

That would indeed be most gratifying but since this thing is motivated by greed, attention and avoiding jail, it’s probably quite likely that as his polling craters he will finish strip mining GOP, the NRA & magaTards then throw them under the bus to drop out and run to Biden for a pardon.

Don’t laugh, doing a Nixon is very much within the remit of the elite, of which this man is part.

Wonder who will be the unlucky one to be the last minute GOP candidate with no election funds? 🤔

From the top of my head, I think you do that in Mail. I can’t recall a section of the domain setup for that.

Pretty sure It must be done separately on iOS Mail vs MacOS Mail vs Web Mail.

Tedious, but a once off.

Will be so glad to see the last of this blowhard in November

Well, apart from the fact that it’s NOT Google, (which I used for over a decade), the big selling point for a small business person is EMAIL. Apple do a good job of Email/Contacts/Calendar/File whereas Android struggles. Try accessing a third party Exchange email account on Android … yikes!

iCloud offers cheap reliable multi domain email hosting and the iOS Mail client sucks less than any other mobile email clients, at least in my experience.

I perceive Apple as, at least, a little more respectful of my privacy than Alphabet which is up there with Meta in profligate privacy abuse.

Another consideration is I can rely on Apple to keep incrementally improving devises/OS’s whereas Alphabet has become much less reliable in terms of introducing services then capriciously terminating those services. Every Android handset is a bespoke experience…

I use Linux (Debian Stable) on my desktop & BSD on my Servers.

I would love to use a mobile device running an open source OS such as Linux, it’s not viable yet.

Sure will be glad to see the last of this guy when he’s gone in November

Honestly can’t find anything but iOS that is workable for my use case. Sadly
