A mouse pointer. macOS was designed for the mouse / trackpad.


A mouse pointer.

iPads work with standard mice, and have an on-screen mouse pointer. I used mine with an old mouse I had lying around a couple of weeks ago. Works fine.


I had an iPad2 which I jailbroke and used with a bluetooth mouse back then (mostly just because I could).

I can't imagine it's still impossible for them to add similar functionality if it's the only thing holding it back from running macOS.


iPad OS does have mouse support actually. I'm really not sure why they haven't made it possible to develop on iPads yet, I know I would get a 13 inch iPad Pro in a heartbeat if I could develop on it and sideload apps onto it.

Apple’s iPad Magic keyboard?


Why would I need a pointer to run a container?


I am an “Apple customer” and I don’t find that very, very scary.

Congratulations on making everything about politics, even if it has zero to do with it.


Actually everything is political, some things just more than others, and pulling in the SJW discussion is indeed not relevant here.

I'm sure of their good intentions, the question is how informed their choice of measures is.


> Airports and air travel are likely to be higher-risk.

Who says an airport is any more risky than public life in a city? There is no personal interaction between travellers at all.


High volumes of travelers siphoning through the same paths, touching the same surfaces, interacting with the same service personnel.

Those travelers being from all-over, thus introducing new region-to-region microbiota mixes. Those travelers often tired or dehydrated from long plane travel across time-zones.

Even a heavily-trafficked park, grocery store, or DMV-like public service outlet might not face the same volume of widely-exposed & weary people as an airport does.
