MobileViews Podcast 341: Affordable tech gift suggestions

In this podcast, Jon Westfall and I discuss:

1. Chromebooks can run Android apps and has a Linux subsystem
   MacOS Big Sur can run iOS apps on M1 Macs
   Windows 10 supports Linux subsystems. Now, Microsoft working on Android subsystem for Windows 10
2. Preventing Big Sur update on my 2019 MacBook Pro
3. Jon’s iOS Programming Notes:
   WidgetKit is interesting in how it uses timelines to display content, allowing a developer to load several “hours” (or minutes) of events into the future with one refresh.
   Swift has changed way too quickly – if you find a tutorial from 2014-18, it’s probably worthless.
   Hard to debug background refresh tasks (Or at least I’m finding it difficult)
