Today marks a pivotal moment for Apple users around the globe. After decades of exclusivity on the Mac platform, Apple’s distinguished media-editing software packages, Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro, are now available on the iPad. The company refrained from providing in-depth reasoning behind their sudden transition to the iPad platform. However, the perks of utilizing the tablet platform were accentuated in their press release. The ease and convenience of recording and editing high-quality footage on a single device make the iPad a practical choice for on-the-go operations. The portability of an iPad clearly trumps that of a MacBook, making it a more appealing workstation for content creators and editors alike.

iCloud is a cloud storage and computing service offered by Apple that allows users to store, sync, and share their data across multiple devices.

As we wait for a future without passwords, many individuals and organizations still struggle with managing countless login credentials. A password manager creates an encrypted vault that securely stores credentials, protected by a master password. Most consumer-focused apps can also create unique, random passwords and support safe credential sharing between friends and family members. Some also contain extra perks such as detecting reused passwords and monitoring your accounts for possible data breaches.

The IRS has reversed the requirement for Paypal, Venmo, CashApp, etc. to report if you receive more than $600 – for now. Now it starts in 2023. It was just about this time last year we told you how the IRS was requiring Paypal, Venmo, CashApp, Zelle, and other cash payment apps (technically known as third-party settlement organizations, or TPSOs) to file a 1099 for you with the IRS if you received payments totaling more than $600 (it had been $20,000, so that’s quite a substantial drop). Now the IRS has said “Psych! It really starts next year.” So, once again, unless you took in $20,000 or more in 2022, Paypal et al is not required to file a 1099 with the IRS or to issue you a 1099 (nor likely will they).

Keyboard shortcuts aren’t something I’ve ever had to struggle with too much. I was born into a house with a computer in it, and my writing is much, much prettier when typed than it is when hand-written (I’m not sure I should even call what I can do with a pen “writing”). Hitting command+V or control+left feels just as natural to me as driving does, and I thought everyone was like that, but after I’d had the experience of watching other people use their computers, and other people watching me use my computer, I learned that not everyone is like that! In fact, most people type below 100wpm and in fact many of them move the mouse up to the menu bar, to click on “Edit”, and then “Copy”. If you’re one of these people, well, I’m sorry. I’m sorry you didn’t know about this app sooner. Hopefully you’ll be well soon.

Among the massive number of Google searches about TikTok, such as “where are TikTok drafts” and “TikTok canvas size”, a new search is rising to the top: Is TikTok safe? And according to some very high level folks who should know, the answer is “no”. (By the way, you access your TikTok drafts folder from your profile page, and the TikTok canvas size is 1080 by 1920.) But back to the question of is TikTok safe: when an FCC commissioner says that TikTok is not only not safe, but should be banned due to ongoing reports of the private data of U.S. TikTok users being funneled to the Chinese government, it at least bears a closer look.
