A serendipitous discovery: macOS
[continuity](https://www.apple.com/macos/continuity/).

Picture this:

I am using my corp Macbook Pro, whilst my personal Macbook Air happens to be
close by. Both of their lids are open.

In my corp Macbook, for some reason, I decided to move the mouse cursor to the
edge of the laptop screen, using the trackpad.

And then, just like magic, the mouse cursor _in my personal Macbook_ starts to
move around.

And then I open up a terminal and start to type, from my corp Macbook, and
somehow characters start to appear in my personal Macbook.

Remote trackpad + keyboard control. This is amazing!

This post was created in my personal Macbook, typed from my corp keyboard.

Naturally, I am signed into my Apple ID in both devices.
