The Beta Blues, What's Wrong with Quick Assist & R.I.P. IE - Double Tap Canada
The DTC team is back with another hour of top tech talk but what exactly has got everyone so annoyed this week? After installing the beta version of the latest Mac OS, Steven seems to be suffering from the beta blues and is desperately trying to roll-back his Mac. But why is it we can't wait to put these beta versions on our devices even though we know that the software isn't ready yet? To maintain balance, Shaun is angry at Microsoft this week following his recent experience with Quick Assist. It appears that the latest version is only available through the Windows Store. But more than that, it seems that Windows 10 users will not be able to use the Quick Assist keyboard shortcut to launch the new version of this very useful app in the future, Windows 11 users will be allowed to but not Windows 10 users. Shaun is banging his head against the wall at the whole situation... Next, Marc tells us his thoughts on the post WWDC Talk Show hosted by John Gruber. It was a very relaxed discussion and could it

[INTO THE FOLD EPISODE 12 - SURFACE DUO 2 REVIEW RE-DO]
Just last week on this channel we were exploring what it means to blur the line between smartphone and computer … but I guess the reality is that I’ve been thinking about it since about 2007, when I realized during an otherwise uneventful walk around my college town that I could post a new LiveJournal entry (yep, I was one of those guys) right from my pocket instead of going home for my computer.
This week, instead of replacing a PC with a smartphone, we’re talking about bringing a PC feature to the smartphone: the idea of a second screen. The subject of today’s episode of Into The Fold is the Surface Duo 2 from Microsoft, and yes, you’ve seen it before on this channel – but it’s not the phone you remember.

Things 3.6 Reimagines External Keyboard Control on iPad
Despite Apple’s message that the iPad Pro can be a viable PC replacement because, among other features, it natively supports a dedicated external keyboard, its software still isn’t fully optimized for keyboard control.
