  • Meta's 'year of efficiency' continues, thousands more expected to be laid off

    chadbagchadbag
    If they wanted to be more efficient they’d give Zuck and the metaverse the boot.  

    Instilling fear in your employees does not raise efficiency      And layoffs don’t bring long term prosperity.  They just lower the quality of your work force, lower the institutional knowledge and awareness of your organization, instill fear and doubt in your employees, and pander to the wrong people on Wall Street.  It doesn’t make your company stronger.  It doesn’t serve your long term shareholders.  It just causes you to hemorrhage “value” to the vultures — day traders, hedge funds, etc.

  • The iPhone alarm tone is also a gorgeous classical piano piece

    That was an awesome take on it and well played.  

    However, ditch the reverb.  Was very annoying.  Adding a small amount can enhance.  Trying to make an electronic piano sound like a grand in Carnegie Hall is way too much and distracted from the song, in my opinion.

  • Apple looks like it's going to age-restrict AI chat agents

    Applying an age restriction helps parents oversee their children’s internet use / Apple use.  I am pretty sure that the parental controls functionality can use the age categories as restrictions.

    Do these comparisons really sway anyone to change phones? 
    Easily. Samsung seems to have done a great job and Apple loses more and more it‘s edge at computational power and biometrics. If I had to decide on the spec comparison I would sway.
    Bus as you cannot change gear without changing the ecosystem, I won‘t. 
    Do you have some sort of basis for “Apple loses more and more it‘s edge at computational power and biometrics” ?

  • Apple surrenders one hour of profit to Russia for antitrust violations

    Trying to think like Apple--there are a lot of consumers in Russia who are not like Putin and who shouldn't be considered as such. It's a difficult decision for Apple to shut down all sales to Russia (or any other country) just because of the person in charge. My hope is real Russians will stay with Apple once Putin goes away. $12M is not that much money to keep a foot in this country IF its citizens find a way to remove Putin.
    I think the shutdown of business is more related to sanctions compliance.   And like the comment above, I wondered how paying the fine doesn’t violate sanctions itself.   Maybe a Russian bank account for Apple was found to pay out of.
