    Just thought of something that might be worth a try depending on how cracked the screen is.
    Power off then stick a suction cup on the screen. Power up and lift the cup to take pressure off.
    Might be worth a crack.
    The other option is to tell her tough shit, you should have been more careful. šŸ˜‰

    @Tim Yep, I'll have one of them I imagine. Mrs JC has one of the 13" Pro machines with the ARM silicon and it compares well to my i9 MBP, so I'm looking forward to how the new ones perform.

    That new Apple M1 Max chipset has almost as much memory bandwidth as an Nvidia RTX 3070!

    I'm loving the tech that extracts text from photos. Being able to call a number on the photo of a business card is great.

    assumes it similar tech to the google translate app? have to say being able to hold the camera up to street signs and have it translated was a game changer

    @kiwiwomble No doubt. Tech has come a long way from the ropey old OCR we had to cope with back in the dark ages of 2019.

    That Google translate via the camera is a godsend when travelling. Ropey translation but at least you can get the gist of the words. Menus, accomodation notices etc... brilliant.
    I assume that it wouldn't take too much to then isolate the phone number and make it useful. Great idea.

    That's essentially what they are doing, but this takes the text and photos from the notes and re-creates the notes. So they are searchable/editable

    ^^ What he said. They do take photos. The good bit is the automatic lifting of the text from that photo and turning into your own notes. Lazy pricks. I wish we'd had that when I was one.

    Basically one conscientious note taker does all the work for the class. I would have been all over that! šŸ™‚

    @kirwan

    Is this on the new version of iOS?

    Anyone seen a demonstration? I want to share it with my students as I think this type of tech is great for them. We usually get them to divide up note taking by time then share it, so this would make that even better and easier.
