SideCar (using the enabler trick) between a Mac mini (Late 2012) and an iPad Pro 10.5 was very laggy over USB. It wouldn't work over wireless. I'd rather try an app instead. I've been trying the built-in screen sharing VNC, a

Nope. An honest man of integrity already knows how to play the bagpipes and doesn't need to lie or name-drop to seem important. Bullshit is only appropriate to save the face or lives of others, or as entertainment amongst people alrea
