    It'll be interesting how the presentation goes at WWDC this year. I would expect Tim would take priority, as the technologies being shown have been developed under his watch, and it's his last big hurrah. But where we go from here to the next WWDC is in John's court.

      You can still run the original Nvidia Control Panel by grabbing it from the Microsoft Store today — app remains useful to adjust a handful of RTX Pro and Quadro features, and may be handy for troubleshooting

      The old Nvidia Control Panel is now a separate, optional download, but is it worth grabbing?

The download button is buried three taps deep. It's not a first class button, but is rather a third class button: 1) i with a circle, 2) Upload icon, 3) upload to where? "Safe file". That's the download button you ware wanting.

It was not possible to do this on past versions of iOS.

                                                                                                                  This feels like a major privacy and safety issue. Anyone with physical access to a phone can view and delete someone's pictures. Abusers, government, anyone.
