Watch a 10-Year-Old’s Face Unlock His Mom’s iPhone X - WIRED
Nice, France as compared to San Francisco, California
The same:
Airport - Landing over water, nice and low
The beach in the city
Direct Delta flight from NYC (met the crew)
Restaurants are plentiful
The good:
Beach you can swim at
Cafes where you can smoke outside
No homeless people who pee and shoot
Everybody speaks French
Architecture worth looking at
The tram from outer space
People know how to dress in style
Shirts and shorts would do at night too
Supermarket prices are very nice to you
You can take a train to Cannes, Milan etc.
The bad:
Waves may be high (but it’s not like in SF)
Almost nobody spoke proper English
Prices are high (but drinks are cheaper)
There is no BART to airport (only the bus)
The ugly:
Prices in boutiques: 100€ beach trunks
Russian tourists who swear in public
Espresso is not worth drinking
New iOS travel hack: Bluetooth hidden hotspot mode
So I have used iPhone hotspot many times when traveling: you visit some cafe and they have no proper wifi so you tether your laptop and work, but it is something I don’t want to keep on all the time: battery life goes down, and your laptop connects to it by default, using your data plan.
Turned out, with iOS 9.3, you have to configured your hotspot once, and enable Bluetooth on phone and Macbook. Then your laptop would show iphone hotspot in wifi menu (with LTE/3G, reception and battery indicators) and, when you click on it, would command iphone to disconnect from wifi and start hotspot on demand. Voila!
Another trick: if you have just programmed new wifi password to your iphone and you use iCloud Keychain on both iphone and Macbook - this hotspot connection magically sends WIFI pass phrase to your MacBook so, after connecting to iphone, you can try and connect to cafe wifi.
So, not everything is bad about MacOS X 10.11 :)
