miiwtwo said: HAHAHA, AVP fail When the Vision platform is a rounding success, will you admit that you were wrong? Genuine question. Apple knows that the Vision project is going to take time to mature. It's foolish to think they'd have…

I'm still waiting for Apple to resurrect Xgrid. Imagine a "Mac Stack".... need to upgrade your computer? Don't replace it.. just add another block to the Stack. More RAM, more storage space, one computer".

Too early to make any judgement calls, but the thought of Google being "baked into" my Mac gives me the heebie jeebies!

Makes sense since text is already being extracted from images displayed on-screen.

I doubt that WWDC24 will dominate its focus on an "AI App Store". Sure, I can see how that ties into a developer conference, and I can see how a separate storefront would break up operations, to appear "less big" to the forces that be, but let's se…

gwmac said: I'm confused why anyone would need any specialized AI apps. What I mean is by that is currently ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude are the dominant players. All 3 offer free or paid premium versions. There are tons of specialized paid ap…

I have no qualms with the way that this feature works. Seems to be anonymous and private, but using anonymized "crowd-sourced" data to help you use the app. But at least there should be a prompt when the app is first opened to alert the user to thi…

@AppleInsider It's absolutely critical to get facts straight when offering up an analysis. We await the DoJ suit against the carriers for allowing SMS to persist. SMS is _not_ going away with RCS. SMS is not the problem with low-quality…

Race car drivers operating a digital twin while a real car speeds down the race track. Flight simulators that are actually controlling a real jet. Doctors performing surgery from another continent. We've only seen the beginning.

It's time for Apple to: - streamline their approach to changelog notes across all software products - separate security updates from feature updates - do a comprehensive overhaul of release testing across a broader range of scenarios The fact tha…

I forgot all about the Vision Pro! It's still a thing? Joking aside, let's hope Apple can keep the ship upright. The fiasco with the Sonoma 14.4 release better not be a sign of things to come!

We're definitely living in a crazy time. Mental illness was already on the rise, but went into overdrive after 2019. Combined with more harmful drugs circulating, brutal economic stresses, increased senses of entitlement, and now scary, unnecessary …

Microsoft Defender is available for macOS, and people are actually installing it?

There you go using the "break" word again. Are the printers themselves actually broken, or just the functionality to make them work? That's an important distinction. We love you, but let's stop with the clickbait headlines, eh? Sonoma 14.4 is …

Is Sonoma 14.4 actually "breaking" these devices, or the devices just no longer work with Sonoma? Big difference. Accurate reporting is important. I've noticed that with 14.4, I was no longer able to launch an Intel app from an external drive. Tha…
