this utility appears to do the job, but I maintain that this should be built into windows 10 theme options natively. this reminds me of hacking dark mode support and switching onto Android 8 or 9 devices. — PolitiTweet.org

@JamieMorris thanks, will take a look. still should be built in natively, it's not exactly a complicated or obscure ask! — PolitiTweet.org

@ZarifAli9 pretty common feature on nearly every device or app that has dark mode, save for Windows 10. — PolitiTweet.org

there are hacky ways to do it in Windows via Task Scheduler, but they are hacky AF, particularly if you use a laptop and it hibernates during your scheduled time. you also can't just have it happen at sunrise/sunset, you have to manually program a fixed time. — PolitiTweet.org

kinda baffling that Microsoft has had a dark mode in Windows 10 for years now, but it still doesn't have any built-in way to automatically switch between light and dark modes on a schedule. Apple took forever adding dark mode to macOS, but beat Microsoft to adding scheduling — PolitiTweet.org

@mims @iiiitsandrea i don’t think many people would buy an e-ink only laptop because there are definitely plenty of times where you’d want full color / performance. but an interesting idea might be a dual-layer display that can switch between color e-paper and trad LCD. have seen in wearables. — PolitiTweet.org

@mims yeah the move there is… don’t buy that laptop, read @mcsquared96’s reviews, she tests the brightness on all of them and notes when it’s crap. there are a lot of laptops out there to choose from! — PolitiTweet.org

@mims i dunno christopher, i think you just have a crappy laptop — PolitiTweet.org

@mims @iiiitsandrea damn Andrea beat me to it. lot of tech hurdles still too — even just scrolling a webpage would cause all kinds of problems with e-paper / e-ink refresh rates. — PolitiTweet.org

@reksveks @AngelLamuno @ramkanda or trade it in to Apple, who will only take and give credit for the iPad itself, not the keyboard. — PolitiTweet.org

before you say, well why didn’t you ask Apple?, we did, repeatedly, the company refused to go on the record about the topic at all. — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

this just reinforces my assumption that Apple is protecting itself from liability if the screen on the new iPad Pro breaks because the fit in the “old” Magic Keyboard is too tight for whatever reason. — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

well this is progress from where we were a week ago. Why didn’t Apple just say this from the beginning? https://t.co/FXEPI9O1hY — PolitiTweet.org

@hondanhon @shameermulji perhaps there’s less overlap between owning a 12.9” iPad Pro model with Magic Keyboard and also a MacBook Air, but in general, i would expect a lot of Mac owners to also be iPad owners. — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@shameermulji @hondanhon do you have data to back up this claim? not sure where it's founded in, as discussed thoroughly, the use cases for an iPad and a Mac differ greatly, which would indicate needing or purchasing both. — PolitiTweet.org
