An easy misstep, but no excuse for Siri. A typical leading foundation model takes about 2 months to train on ~16,000 GPUs. I don't know where Apple was on that scale, but let's say as a result of stinginess, Apple took 4 months instead of 2 months…

photography guy said: I feel like there's an opportunity for Apple here. Apple has notoriously high margins on their hardware—as much as 50% on some products, I think—whereas other manufacturers have always had razor thin margins; it's why th…

Also ignored the part where he claimed they were all clear because the texting group had been vetted. I can relate - something weird about iOS 18 - it's been giving me all kinds of incorrect suggestions of who it thinks someone is.

Kinda ironic, given that when I need to type, I use a keyboard cover with my iPads. . Maybe they could find a way to integrate a keyboard cover, then the entire foldable thing would just be about a more compact way to carry it around.

Just another point of reference: My daughter went to film school, and her instructor *used* to use FCP for most of the curriculum. But after the FCP-X change, he dropped it from the program, and the students now learn using Davinci Resolve and oth…

It's the new "Apple Mouse Unified Design Language" - eventually, all Apple devices will have controls and ports on the bottom. JK, there was probably some moment when it was coming off pre-production and someone said - that looks great! Where's th…

I'd prefer they call it the "Mac Studio Mini."

From a non artist user: Yeah - for me it's the luxury issue - I barely need an iPad at all, let alone the best one. I got a previous iPad Pro model on sale for less than half the price. So now it's doubly hard to justify $1,500 for an iPad when …

What's funny about this is one of the main reasons I still use a desktop computer is so I can compactly add my own keyboard, because I'm not so fond of Apple's recent keyboards. Can you imagine having to use a keyboard plugged into another keyboard…

This is a sad show stopper for me in upgrading to Sonoma. I looked into MacFuse, and guess what? They don't support exFat, because as they put it "exFat is natively supported in MacOS". There's yet another third party package that could in princi…

I feel like maybe there could be some compromise here, because Aritags are SO useful to be able to track stolen/lost items. Maybe they could extend the stalker warning period to say 4-8 hours? Sure, then a stalker could follow you for a single tri…

Seems like Android devices are ALSO talking to iPhones over SMS. iPhone users don't get proprietary Android messaging features like tap back icons, full resolution photos and movies, etc. For years, the most annoying thing was Android had a propri…

I thought this article was pretty funny and a great way to illustrate the flaws in the arguments against Apple. My only regret is he felt ha had to go so over the top to make sure everyone knew this was just an April Fool's joke. (Come to think of…

The reason I put a cover over my screen isn't just to protect it during accidental drops, but also so I can clean it. I simply have found no easy way to safely clean apple screens directly. But put glass over it, and you can use any cleaner you wa…

That's interesting - stereoscopic is a distinctly different approach then what Apple uses where they capture depth of field. Stereoscopic would still work for a 3D effect, but you couldn't as easily change your point of view or have other things i…

Ahhh... I see the large display folks co-opted the term. Well, most of those large displays use an LED technology with pixels that are a millimeter wide. This is not the technology aimed at small displays.

Yes, but the large displays you're talking about are LEDs but not micro-LEDs. Micro LEDs have sizes measured in microns. This is Apple - there's no way they'd do it without "Retina resolution".
