  • Amazon to kill Echo's local voice processing feature in favor of Voice ID [u]

    forgeforge
    I  put my money where my mouth is last week, ordered another Homepod and two Minis. I now have one Echo Studio, two Echo Dots, and three Echoes awaiting donation/recycling/landfill. It's not about trust. I don't trust *any* corporation to choose "don't be evil" over "be rich". They're all psychopathic money whores. That said, my Apple stuff has not sold my info to third parties obviously, and hasn't made threats/assertions that it'll be selling me more overtly going forward.

    Both my Google devices and Amazon devices have clearly used and/or sold my personal not-to-device speech to advertisers. I've seen many innocuous conversations that could not reasonably be interpreted as interactions with the "assistant" turn into pushy Amazon recommendations the next day. It's enough. I'm out. FU Jeff Bozos.

    will it boot linux natively?

    would be nice...
    I mean, got to get some hardware in hand to test, but there's no reason the current Asahi won't boot on it with a few tweaks. That would also likely enable all Nvidia and AMD GPUs to work in those slots, too, but only in Linux.

    If you get an M2 Mac Pro, send it my way, we'll get Asahi running and I'll send it back to you. I'm not buying one myself, the "Mac Pro" tax has gotten far too ridiculous.
