ChatGPT might quit the EU rather than comply with regulations

Apple's Studio Display doesn't shine in the light of competition
You can not have a legitimate comparison when we have absolutely no idea as to the price point of the S9. They're so close on specs, it will absolutely be the price as the main factor here. And why have such an article when you haven't even been able to review the monitor.
If the S9 comes in for under $1000, it will be a formidable choice, at least until Apple updates their display lineup. Lets revisit this when we know a price and can actually review the thing. -
Third ex-Apple engineer charged over Apple Car technology theft
Has Apple not heard of Data Loss Prevention? Do they not have a cybersecurity team monitoring classified information exfiltration? It's preposterous that such an advanced company could allow gigabytes of IP to be stolen from their network, yes even if it is an insider actor. There are systems to prevent this. -

Google doubles down on its 'AI' future during I/O, hitting the buzzword over 100 times
And yet when Apple announced the new Logic and Final Cut Pro for iPad yesterday, with tons of AI both under the hood and clearly visible in their demonstrations/press release, Apple didn't say/print the word AI/Artificial Intelligence ANYWHERE, not even once is it mentioned. Even though AI is certainly present and utilized in every Apple product, it's interesting Apple is staying far away from using the word, and here Evil Google uses it over 100 times in one sitting. -
Want to try Apple Vision Pro? Apple has plenty of appointments
robin huber said:One think I noticed was that the light seal was not perfect around my nose. The guy fitting me asked about it and advised me to shift the strap higher in the back. That helped marginally, but once into the demo I no longer noticed it. Looking at pictures of the unit it is clear that the light seal stops before going over the nose bridge, so I guess a complete seal was never intended.
Other than that, I was just generally disappointed by the demo. As an Apple fanboy I had very high expectations and they were absolutely not met. The passthrough was extremely mediocre. The field of view was very small, almost no peripheral vision at all. The only things that I really enjoyed and even made me smile were the immersive video demo and the example home videos in 3D. -
Ordering Apple Vision Pro gets more complex with face scan
Rogue01 said:applebynature said:Yup, we've known about the required facial scanning for proper fit since June.
I'm curious how big of a fiasco it's going to be to go into an Apple Store to demo a unit. They should do it by appointment with a required face scan before the appointment so everything is ready for you to try out. If they're just allowing everyone to come in to wait around in the store for one of the scarce demo units to be available, then having to go through a fitting and set up process along with being trained how to use it, man that will be a disaster with the time involved and so many waiting around to try it. But on the other hand, I can see people going to the store to try it out and being told, oh you have to make an appointment, the next one is in 3 weeks, and that not going over too well with customers either, so who knows.
And remember, most consumers wear prescription lenses so another $150 for special lenses will a big deal breaker, especially when prescriptions typically change year after year for people that do wear glasses. -
Apple accused of stalling union negotiations with Apple Towson employees
9secondkox2 said:Apple doesn’t have to agree to those negotiations. The union can push as hard as they want and apple is free to say no to what they push for.It’s crazy that class-action bullying is legal in the corporate sector.
You're certainly right in that Apple is free to say no to what the union wants. But to simp for the "corporate sector" being "bullied" by a "class action". WOW what a spicy characterization. You want unions outlawed because those poor corporations don't stand a chance if they give their peasant workers any rights or respect, huh? Poor poor Apple, HOW DARE their workers try to negotiate for better working conditions/benefits/pay.
Honestly F Apple for continuing to be so hostile to their workers and their legally protected union activities. -
First responder network RapidSOS adds Emergency SOS video support with iOS 18
Emergency video sharing absolutely will NOT be compatible with Emergency SOS via Satellite. You repeatedly state and imply that one would be able to send video through the satellite communication feature, but that is not the case. Emergency SOS Video sharing will only work through cellular or wifi connections. This announcement has ZERO to do with satellite. Did you even read the press release? "Satellite" is mentioned 0 times.
