  • Apple's 'F1' ad in Wallet won't hurt you, but it might save you $10

    Also, I'm fairly certain users can edit posts using the cog in the top right of a post. It might not appear in certain page sizes, so adjust if you need to.
    Sorry to be off topic, but the ability to edit posts on my iPhone and iPad using the website disappeared months ago.  That cog is not there anymore (for me). 

    I didn’t get a notification for this but I see the ad in Wallet. I wouldn’t have noticed except for this article pointing it out and, like you, plan to take advantage of it for this weekend. Happy to see it, easy to dismiss. NBD

  • Apple execs explain Apple's position in the AI race & how it isn't necessarily 'behind'

    Joz even scoffed at the idea of it being "demo ware," in what seemed to be a pointed comment at Daring Fireball's John Gruber.

    Sure, now that it’s a year later. We still aren’t seeing the semantic index stuff that was touted at WWDC 2024. What is Joz scoffing at?
    At the suggestion that what was shown during WWDC 2024 was faked or not actually running.
    I understand, I’m just saying that it has been a year since the event where many things that were shown still haven’t been seen (by anyone outside of Apple), and yet he scoffs at the notion they don’t exist. Seems silly to me. I’m happy he seems confident in Apple’s ability to deliver the still missing features, but he shouldn’t be scoffing. 

    Side note: there is a lot of speculation that Apple snubbed Gruber over the Something is Rotten article, but I’d also point out that Gruber has made many posts specifically calling out Tim Cook for donating to Trump’s inauguration and seeming to be generally supportive of Trump. Gruber’s comments on that subject frequently use terms like “bootlicker” and it’s certainly possible that it’s those comments, made over and over about Tim Cook that he has been snubbed over.

  • How to use an old injection trick to turn Apple Writing Tools into a chatbot

    I brought my MIL to an appointment and I’m sitting in the parking lot reading this. Across the street there’s a CVS. I copied this prompts, put them into Notes, changed “Uk” to “US” and removed “British”. It gave me Tim Cook as the answer. 

    I tried again and changed the question to “Who is the CEO of CVS Health?” and got an incorrect answer. It said, the CEO of CVS is Rob Watson. As near as I can tell Rob Watson is a Procurement Manager at CVS and David Joyner is the CEO.  (BTW, asking Siri “Who is the CEO of CVS Health?” gives the correct answer)

  • 'Fortnite' could return to the US App Store by Friday

    It’s Friday so I did a search for “Fortnight” on the App Store and didn’t see it come up. Maybe Sweeney meant some other Friday.
