What about all writing with AI?

@WilliamGallagher Күн бұрын

I believe that AI will become a helpful tool but otherwise if someone uses their AI system to write a book, I'll at most get my AI system to read it for me. Otherwise, I don't have much to say yet, not enough to make a video useful, I'm afraid.

Hi William. Now we obviously can't look forward to a keynote, but to a ‘whole week’ of press releases. It seems that these new Macs are all just processor updates like for the iPad Mini and it's not worth holding an event for them. This makes me wonder if the Mac Mini is really coming in a new design as rumors say ...

@WilliamGallagher 2 күн бұрын

I'm going to have to cover my ears if they release a new Mac Studio, though...

@SFAutor 2 күн бұрын

@@WilliamGallagher I don't expect a new Mac Studio, but upgrades for the MacBooks and the iMac, maybe a new Mac Mini. But even if there is a new M4 Mac Studio coming, I don't see any incentive to buy, if I may be honest. My M1 Max (64 GB) is so powerful that it will serve my work (writing, video editing, streaming, etc.) for a few more years. The predecessor of my Mac Studio was the Mac Pro 2013 (Trashcan), which I used for nine years and still love. It's currently our family Mac.

My beloved Mini v6 sort of 'died' a few months ago - the screen stopped responding. After trying all of Apple and Reddit's suggestions, I contacted Apple who confirmed I'd done everything I could to get it going, and suggested I pay quite a lot to get it fixed. I decided to get an iPad Air instead because the one thing that often frustrated me about the Mini was sometimes I couldn't read text on it - mostly anything that didn't work with Apple's dynamic text sizing. So now the dear old mini will be on its way to America so my son who likes to tinker can have a go at repairing it so he can use it. He's already sourced replacement parts, so he's keen. But he's well aware this isn't 100% guaranteed to work in his favour. So fingers crossed!!

@WilliamGallagher 3 күн бұрын

You have a clever and possibly optimistic son. I bought the original iPad Air whenever that came out, ten years or more, and it would be working fine even now except I loaned it to someone who broke it. That was rather upsetting.

@DianeShugart 4 күн бұрын

The new iPad mini is perfectly timed for me as I'll need to replace my old one soon. But for reading I will stick with my old Kindle Paperwhite until it stops working; it feels closer to the experience of reading a print book, not least because it draws the same line between reading and other activities.

@WilliamGallagher 4 күн бұрын

That's a good point. One thing you put in my mind is that I'm startled how poorly made Kindles are. My wife's basic Kindle broke the other year and I took it apart, I read advice online, I approached Kindle repair people. Everything and everyone said there's no point. Amazon uses the cheapest components and, it seemed to me, assembles them quite crudely, so when it goes wrong, it's over. I know Kindles are cheap next to iPads but I don't like the idea of them being disposable.

@DianeShugart 3 күн бұрын

@@WilliamGallagher First, kudos to your wife for letting you mess with her Kindle -- even a broken one!. More seriously,, as with all devices, it depends on your needs. I got my first Kindle when I moved to a tiny island cottage with no space for books and was given the Paperwhite in 2015. I also used it a lot for outdoor postgrad reading (PDFs, etc) when I didn't want the distractions of smartphone or tablet. So far it's held up well, despite my careless handling.

@davemeadows6688 4 күн бұрын

William, iPad mini really does tick all the boxes I think. I have ordered the Kindle colour “thing”? But now thinking, what do you need colour for when reading text? Another point, have you tried the reMarkable for note taking (as opposed to the Scribe)?

@WilliamGallagher 4 күн бұрын

I think you'll be pleased with the colour thing, though. I've very, very briefly tried reMarkable and I liked what I saw. There's another one, a Boox thing, that I liked a lot too, but ended up just using it as a larger e-reader.

Hi William, I be interested in your views on the following use case: I've got a manuscript, about 300 pages, and once it's written it needs to be edited. Would you view these products as being useful for that or would you always just go "Yeah, you need to print the thing out and grab a pen." I am talking annotations not using them for word processing. Best regards from Australia.

@StingyGeek 4 күн бұрын

Scratch that, I just looked at the price of the Scribe in Australia. Just can't justify $500 bucks for a limited functionality device.

@WilliamGallagher 4 күн бұрын

I once edited half a friend's manuscript on an iPad using an Apple Pencil and had a great time. But then I edited the rest on my Mac, typing notes where necessary, and did that half in a fraction of the time. I don't ever print anything out anymore, though. And I do find this is a big help: moving the text to another device or another app or at least to another font face and size. It breaks the familiarity, forces you to actually read it all again, and that way I find I spot more things I need to change.

I have one focus mode which is on 24/7, 52 weeks of the year. My devices simply are not allowed to notify me of anything. Ever. Period. If I want to know if I have texts, I have to open up a browser and navigate to Google voice or open my phone and click on the Google voice app. If I want to know that there are emails, I have to open an email app and check. None of my other apps have anything to say that I'm even the least bit interested in, so they've been instructed to shut up and never speak again. Maybe it's being extremely asocial, but I never understood the desirability of notifications.

@WilliamGallagher 4 күн бұрын

There are people I have to hear from the moment they try to reach me -- family, perhaps obviously, but also whichever editors I'm working with at the moment. I keep the list tight and I drop people off as soon as a project is done, but I let them pierce the focus modes.

So, no to kindle, got that, but where will I go with the Apple Mini? I have a gen8 of an iPad now which is my constant reading companion and watching movies. Stay tuned, and I shall try to figure it out. But...why were you in the car? Lost your keys to your house?

It’s a funny thing: I was quite anti-Kindle for years in part because I had an iPad. I mean, there were other reasons like the quality of the type, but I was iPad all the way. Then I used a Kindle Paperwhite and somehow it just proved so handy. Reminded me of picking up actual books: it does the one thing and does it well. An iPad mini feels like it would less like that and more just another iPad, yet I fancy one no end. Can’t justify that.

Haben Sie sich jemals die Nebo App für das iPad angesehen? Das ist etwas für Leute, die gern mit einem Stift schreiben und hinterher das Geschriebene wie gedruckt haben wollen. Nebo hat eine exzellente Schreibschrift-Erkennung, die auch für Deutsch sehr gut funktioniert. Da Sie lieber eine Tastatur benutzen, ist das vielleicht nicht etwas für Sie, aber vielleicht macht es Sie trotzdem neugierig, Nebo einmal auszuprobieren … 😊 Translated by AI:😊 Have you ever looked at the Nebo app for the iPad? This is something for people who like to write with a pen and want to have what is written as if printed afterwards. Nebo has an excellent handwriting recognition, which also works very well for German. Since you prefer to use a keyboard, this may not be something for you, but maybe it will still make you curious to try Nebo ... 😊

You probably get this question a great deal... you should pin the answer to the video. 😂 What is 58 keys a reference to? The only thing I can think of is an accordion but that doesn't make sense for a writing channel. 58 is too little for a typing keyboard, no? EDIT - perhaps it's just the letters, numbers and a few others like you may find on a classic typewriter?

@WilliamGallagher 10 күн бұрын

You’re close. I offer that there is no artistic or even just human endeavour in the last 40 years that hasn’t involved a keyboard - even if you’re a sculptor, say, you email your gallery. Next, while Windows rules the world, it would not exist if it weren’t for the Macintosh. And the original Mac in 1984 was due to have 62 keys but Steve Jobs mandated that four of them be removed. Specifically, he demanded that the traditional cursor keys be left off because at that time, the mouse was such a new thing that people needed to learn how to use it and they wouldn’t if they could just cursor around with the keyboard. So the very first Mac, the start of so much especially for me, was released with 58 keys.

Regarding quick access to files you are working on. In the Files app - there are "tags". You can "tag" a file or a folder. It is then in your list at the left side of your "Files" list. This is something I use all the time. I even have a tag called "Writing". Everything I tag with the "Writing" tag is now easily accessible - not just the iPad but on all my Apple devices. There is also "Favourites". Drag a folder (your Writing Folder or File) onto this heading and it is always available (in the Files app, of course). Then there is "Recent" or "Shared" at the top. I tend to think the "Files" app on the iPad gets a bad rap. I'm not really certain why. All your cloud drives or external drives (if attached) are visible here. Different to "Finder" on the Mac but still usable.
