Any #AppleiPad users notice an increase in weird little issues in the past few months?

I’ve happily used a 2018 iPad Pro for the last 5 years but in the last few months there have been repeated weird issues.

  • This weekend Safari hung for the first time ever.
  • I’ve had several occasions where rebooting the iPad took much longer than it should – I slid the toggle to turn it off but it stays at a blank black window (the ipad is still on as the screen emits light) until I held down the power button to force the reboot – and even then it took a while to turn off & show the white apple logo while booting.
  • On several occasions it hung while I was in the Settings app

The iPad has always been rock solid until now, so I’m wondering if a recent iPadOS update messed things up (either intentionally or unintentionally by Apple) or if it’s just me.

It’s definitely not a storage issue as I’ve got over 250gb (out of 512gb) free.

Hi, I’m Arp! I got diagnosed with ADHD at 49, and now I'm trying to figure out what's me, what's masking, and just about everything else. I make comics (when imposter syndrome isn't striking) and write about life as a creative Indian-American. I’m self-taught, self-employed, and self-flagellating.

More Notes & Asides

A lot of Claire Paniccia’s marketing advice resonates with me because her thing is helping neurodiverse entrepreneurs. As one of her target audience, I’ve tried a lot of Conventional Marketing Wisdom that (surprise) failed and (no surprise) just added to the reasons I have to self-flagellate while making connecting with people feel more like a chore than an interesting or fun thing to do. This bit from her latest newsletter (the image) hits the spot. The idea that I don’t text a friend at a specific time every week is so common sense yet . I’d much rather have a friend-like relationship with people interested in my efforts than be a robotic provider of content. If you dig this, go check her out. She’s the only newsletter I subscribe to that I actually read. ClairaPaniccia.com

joseph campbell become alive yourself
The influence of a vital person vitalizes, there’s no doubt about it. The world without spirit is wasteland. People have the notion of saving the world by shifting things around, changing the rules, and who’s on top, and so forth. No, no! Any world is a valid world if it’s alive. The thing to do is to bring life to it, and the only way to do that is to find in your own case where the life is and become alive yourself. #JosephCampbell, from The Power of #Myth #Mythology

“Our life evokes our character. You find out more about yourself as you go on. That’s why it’s good to be able to put yourself in situations that will evoke your higher nature rather than your lower.” #JosephCampbell #Mythology
