@tylerhall@social.lol I really appreciate you sharing this. I made the donation because Glen was a great musician and seemed like a good dude. I’ve been meaning to try out Iris Photos. It looks like it’s been a labor of love so I’ll *buy* a copy to support you if I find it as useful as I expect.

RE: @macadminspodcast@mastodon.social

I joined the Mac Admins podcast to talk MacBook Neo and Apple Business. Thanks to Tom and Selina for having me as part of the panel.

@rands In Superhuman’s defense the Claude connector for Gmail is completely broken and won’t read full messages.

@simonbs This is why I’m excited about the Rivian R3 (whenever it gets to EU)

@hugg @asymco We will see on durability. Historically this is an Apple strength. Paired with AppleCare+ (see pricing!) there’s a good chance devices will be covered against education damage. If history is any indication, MacBook Neo could be worth $200+ on a secondary market in 36 months. If a schools makes the capital purchase once for MacBook Neo you might have a go forward refresh @ ~$300 every 3 years. Nearly Chromebook indifferent, before volume pricing.

@hugg @asymco Progress over the last few years with Managed Apple Accounts federated with Google and Microsoft identity providers. Easier management of erase all content and settings. Improved single sign on with enterprise credentials. The biggest Mac barrier in K12 has been price. That’s completely gone now.

@hugg @asymco There are improvements to be made, for sure. For younger learners Chromebooks have options for camera-based badge sign in (via eg Clever) that is tricky in Apple’s private, end-user-consent-for-using-the-camera model.

@hugg @asymco That absolutely is part of the experience that makes Chromebooks so popular in education. The other half of “cheap and easy”. But I disagree *strongly* that macOS is a “long” way from that. With most of the device management services schools use (such as Jamf or Mosyle; analogous to Google Admin Console) provide single sign on tools that let you do *exactly* what you describe.

@hugg @asymco This was the big surprise. If you assume there’s some ok residual on the device 3 years later (as is the norm) it’s a no brainer for an education deployment at scale.

@rafa@mastodon.design I sort of vow not to own a car but have rented these on two trips, including a road trip to Germany and Denmark. 💯 love. Good luck with it!
