    Fortunately no. The world needs for him to be put in a home.


    It’s almost cruelty that Jill and co. Haven’t set up Joe in a nursing facility already. There has been FAR too much embarrassment from the guy. Not only can he not ambulate safely, but routinely spaces out and needs handholding and direction for the most basic things. Recently have you seen the looks on the Italian and Canadian prime ministers faces as Joe basically disappeared without going anywhere? The guy needs to retire and get consistent care. He may only be a little older than Trump, but he’s declined so much faster. Meanwhile trump is holding his own and then some with master manipulators and fast talkers like Logan Paul. 

    You may not like Trump, but he is clearly the far more sound candidate than Biden - and pretty much everyone else in that side of the aisle. 
    "Religion is such a great thing it's so it keeps you know there's something to be good about you want to be good you wanna it's so important I don't know if it's explained right I don't know if I am explaining it right you know you want to be good you want to go to heaven when you have something like that you wanna go to heaven OK so you want to go to heaven so if we don't have heaven OK you almost say what's the reason why do I have to be good let's not be good what difference does it make"
    ~ Donald J. Trump~ June 2024
    Sounds like everyone else I’ve heard (Heck, I’ve heard actual pastors do a bad job explaining) except Joe:
      
    “I’m religious.” 

    Proceeds to enact rules and laws that violate major aspects of said religion. 

    *smiles blankly*

    -Joe Biden - 2021-2024. 

    Take the guy who gives a pathetic but possibly honest take on the fundamentals of basic religion or the guy who pretends to be religious yet is a complete hypocrite in everything he does. 

    I’ll take the honest guy. At least you know where he’s coming from. 

    And since I’m not electing either one as my pastor, I’ll take the guy who knows how to get things done, gets world leaders to toe the line, and cares about national security, economic strength, the tangible betterment of America and knows how to accomplish it over the demonstrably dangerously incompetent one. 
    Are you claiming Trump is an "honest" guy?
    Compared to Biden? At least ask a difficult question. 
    You mean the fact that republicans, for years, have tried to smear him many failed? You mean that every witness republicans brought up in the fake impeachment hearings that 33as going to blow it wide open, as republicans said, instead stated that Biden did nothing wrong. You mean that as opposed to the now rather obvious Trump crime family? We can go into all of the illegal activities of them, if you’d like. There are many.

  • How Apple's Game Mode is expanding to iOS and iPadOS -- and how to turn it off

    It seems to do exactly what you would want it to during a game. I don’t see a problem other than receiving some notifications or calls from those who I would want in a list at the time, such as my daughter and wife. Everyone else could wait. Updating apps? Really, do they have to update during a game or any other software that really needs the resources? This seems like it should be the normal use already. And being able to choose which games don’t need it on is fine.

  • Apple Intelligence impresses now, and it's still very early


    Will ChatGP ultimately end up being 'Sherlocked'...?
    It wouldn’t surprise me in the least to find that Apple is working on their own solution with the intention of no longer needing to use ChatGPT or some other third-party. 
    Apple doesn't have talent to "Sherlock" ChatGPT, if they could they'd already have their own service instead of outsourcing to get it.
    What I do see Apple doing is trying to pass all this off as their own doing to the unaware masses who don't know. 
    That’s ridiculous. I mean, totally ridiculous.  You really need to know something before posting nonsense. Apple has been doing this well before anyone else. They call it by its proper term; machine learning. Artificial intelligence is just a term dreamed up a time ago to sound more exciting for the masses.

    if you look at what Apple us doing here, you’d see that they’ve been working on nit for years. But Apple has learned from the Maps fiasco to not introduce a major initiative before it’s ready. Look at what Microsoft and Google did with theirs. Both companies had to withdraw their LLMs shortly after introducing them because of major problems. Google’s engineers even wrote a letter to management n telling to not bring it out because it wasn’t ready and there would be problems. They’ve now withdrawn AI search until they fix it. Microsoft has withdrawn the latest Windows 11 update because of a security nightmare and there’s no information as to when Recall will come out, if it ever will, which is what some people in the industry believe.

    so Apple doesn’t have the talent? Really, that’s garbage.

    "Users have ultimate control."
    Do all roads still lead to iCloud and Apple servers ?

    I hate that term, “sherlocked”. Apple comes out with software for System 9, then OS X can’t use it and Apple is taking time to get it working there. A third party developer comes out with an app called Watson, to mimic Apple’s old Sherlock. Apple finally comes out with a version that works on OS X and immediately some people yell that Apple “Sherlocked” him. I always thought that was nuts.

    It sounds like you’re talking about Donald. Apparently you haven’t seen his speeches.
