  • Fifth Avenue Apple Store hit with Trump environmental protest graffiti

    anthogag said:
    Apple is in a bad spot. Apple cares about the environment and recycling but they have to deal with a dictator who is the anti-Christ for the environment.

    Environmental Rebellion should perhaps try to sue Trump for criminal negligence because his ignorant dictator DOGE cuts are most likely the primary cause of the 80+ deaths during the recent Texas floods.


    Wow Anti-Christ and Dictator in the same sentence?!?  Hyperbole much?
    Pretty much not, sadly.

  • Lack of DOJ TikTok ban enforcement is about not interfering with foreign policy

    The failure to enforce the legislation passed by Congress and signed by the Felon-in-Chief’s predecessor is quite possibly unconstitutional.

  • Courts say AI training on copyrighted material is legal

    If everyone who writes a comment on this page will send a fee to Dr Seuss for learning from his books to read and speak, then I will pay attention to their views if they oppose AI learning from published sources. But if you aren't willing to pay everyone that you learn from, for every word that comes out of your mouth, then I don't see why AI should have to pay either. Next, are we going to charge aliens for learning English by reading the radio waves that are being sent into deep space?
    That’s the point, though: libraries, schools, or whatever grownup bought that book that helped you learn to read paid Dr. Seuss’s publisher, who paid him and his agent. And school teachers, under the fair use clause, could make copies of excerpts of those books to help in reading lessons. Where does any AI outfit other than Apple pay for anything the engines are scraping?

    But you’re on the right track on one thing: we should definitely start beaming Dr. Seuss books to the stars.

  • macOS Tahoe review -- glossy changes mask genuine improvements

    Most of the features sound fine, if you need/want them, but making the list font in Finder windows smaller? Nuh-uh, even if the spacing has been slightly expanded. That will not make finding what you want easier, particularly for anyone with presbyopia (that is, almost anyone older than about 45).

    Damn kids, get off my interface.

  • Apple gets millions of dollars in tax refunds to stay in Cupertino

    $5M a year? Chump change for Apple. 6.25 times that for a city the size of Cupertino, not so much so.
