    The article doesn’t show any clear pictures of open menu bar items, but do they have keyboard shortcuts for them, and are shortcuts customizable in any way?

    William understands the inner workings of the Tardis… I think he knows his tech pretty well.

    I would be happy if Siri could just pronounce the street names around where i live correctly when using maps.

    I have 0 interest in anything from Altman or Ive. They both appear boring. Some kind of Star Trek device operated with the voice would suck. 
    Great point! What has Ive ever done? A boring waste of a life. Same with Altman--I mean, does anyone even use ChatGPT? But I love that they confided in you that this is "some kind of Star Trek device operated with the voice" and that you already know that this will suck. We love insider information like that! Please keep up the good work!

    I'm all AI'ed and voice assistantsed out. When Apple said the iPhone 16 was "built for AI" I took that as a warning, not a feature. I just want an off switch, m'kay?

    My opinion only. YMMV. If you enjoy this stuff, great. I'm happy for you. 
    I understand your perspective, but it would have been easy enough to say you were "all mobile phone'd out" before the iPhone debuted. The mobile phone market was already very crowded, had been for years, and Blackberry was the much beloved king of the hill. And then Apple had a different idea. I don't know that this is going to be good--whatever "this" turns out to be--but if any two people on the planet can completely reinvent the idea of what an AI device might be, it's Ive and Altman. 






    Yes, Ive is boring. We all know he was a top designer at Apple. ChatGPT is for sheep. All the sheep too lazy to do anything creative turn to ChatGPT for answers and stimulus. If it's coming from Ive it is going to be minimalism. It won't have a screen. You talk to it. Perhaps it is pinned on your chest and you tap it when you want to talk to Computer.   
    A screen-less device that you simply talk to basically ignores 9 million years of hominid evolution that relies primarily on eyesight to interact with the world. I guess if you can issue commands to turn things on and off it might be useful, but our phones can already do that.

  • Trump is too busy for his own tariff negotiations, so will dictate terms instead

    hexclockhexclock
    So I guess he’s the opposite of our last “president” who didn’t do any work, covered up his failing mind and the fact that he had cancer along with the rest of the media and the entire democrat party. We don’t even know who was calling the shots at the White House in 2024 and 2024. It certainly wasn’t Biden. It’s no wonder Trump got elected a second time, as the democrat party has become a complete joke.
