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…

I've heard many saying that the Quest headsets are "really good", but has a game come out on top with AVP where the experience can't be beat? ==== "ready-to-use" "third-party" (Why are hyphens often being forgotten by the editors?)

I wish these publications would have the courtesy to recognize that not all readers are in the US and deal with US dollars. I know we can all -assume- the currency mentioned, but how hard would it be to add "USD" to prices? It's about courtesy, aft…

So the media jumped to a hard conclusion way too early, without having all of the facts. Micro-LED is not dead for Apple. I highly doubted that myself.

Are we seeing a shift in the Apple that we know? One that happily buys off-the-shelf components rather than pushing for better?

Just let the guy enjoy the day the way that he wants to. You're marrying him. Support his dreams.

Exactly. The RESEARCH part of R&D has tremendous value in itself. Technology doesn't evolve in a silo. It builds on itself in ways we can't imagine today. One piece leads to another, which leads to another. One problem leads to a solution, whic…

Apple devices are already always listening. That's how Siri works. The only difference is that a trigger word won't be needed to initiate further action. - Charlie pours the last of the milk into his cereal - "Sounds like you are out of milk. There…

StrangeDays said: great, now let me remove sports from the new ATV sidebar interface. Zero interest Yah, it's kind of frustrating that they push that onto users with no option to hide it, eh?
