I think the felon should drop out, personally.

If I recall they rape him, so that’s fun and wholesome.

“Death panels!” the conservatives shouted. “The government will have death panels!”

The rubes ate it up, not realizing they had death panels the entire time and paid more for them.

They were probably like, “Finally, I can go to a company that doesn’t force me to use a Dell.”

I can’t tell if this dude is 23 years old or 53 years old.

I still have an iPhone 4 in a drawer and it’s totally flat on the back. Still looks really cool.

Apple: “Our new chips are more efficient so we can make devices thinner with a smaller battery and still get 10 hours of battery!”

Everyone: “Or just keep them the same and use a bigger battery to get, like 15-20 hours of battery?”

Apple: “NO.”

Wow, what a joke.

Wells Fargo upset over some fake inputs?

Maybe they should have just created some fake employees to do this work like they opened fake accounts for people who never asked for them.

I need to preorder this this weekend.

If only it were that simple. WE are all the test subjects in this case whether we like it or not.

Lots of updates coming to the ios calculator with ios18. They obviously focused on the ipad version because it has the written math notes stuff, but a lot of those features are coming to the iphone, too.

The current calculator has had a lot more options if you turn the phone sideways, but no one ever does that. Personally, I’m a pCalc guy.

RCS, I suppose, so we can stop hearing about it.

Yeah, I agree with this take, though I did see an article that quoted Tim as saying they wouldn’t be able to totally get rid of hallucinations, so I’m still a little reserved on it all.

The biggest thing in the last couple of weeks is Microsoft showing off the half baked Recall “feature” that let your computer take photos of basically everything you do. The idea that you could search for something you did in the past using normal language is interesting, but the implementation was terrible. So that’s a big strike against MS, so much so they now are recalling the beta release of that. MS doesn’t have a good track record with things that are supposed to be local that somehow end up not local; I believe there was a big issue on xbox where local screenshots were still being monitored by the cloud somewhere. MS also loves shoving ads down your throat and turning back on features you have explicitly turned off. There’s no trust.

Apple certainly has their own issues, but as others have said, they have at least outwardly been a privacy first company, at least in marketing materials. They were one of the first to build in “secure enclaves” into phones and PCs so biometrics couldn’t get off of your device, for example. There’s a bit of a history, earned or otherwise, that Apple isn’t doing bad things with your data, so when they say their AI junk is private it’s easier to swallow.

That said, I still have yet to find a use for any of this AI junk across all platforms. I wish it all just stayed in the realm of intelligently making your photos a little sharper or whatever and not hallucinating things out of whole cloth. I’m actually happy my iPhone isn’t new enough to take advantage of this new stuff.

That’s fair.

Hopefully there’s a toggle to turn it off.

At least Apple isn’t taking a screenshot of your device every three seconds and saving it in plain text.

Just let it understand the word “and” and I’ll be happy.

“A direct line” has already happened.

I’m pretty sure I saw an article on here in the last week about how they talk to each other.

I’ve been trying to get my parents to use a password manager for years now. They have a piece of paper with a bunch of passwords on that’s one coffee spill away from a disaster.

I’ve tried getting them to use Bitwarden or any other simple manager, but nothing has stuck.

A “default” one from Apple, might, though. They are more amenable to stuff “built in” (that will also not be hidden down in some settings menus like how the current iOS passwords are stored.) So bring it on.
