  • Apple Maps renames Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America after official database update

    tzterri said:
    From what I understand, it's only for American devices the rest of the world will still see the Gulf of Mexico.

    As this is an executive action it will disappear with the next president. 

    Are we great yet because I'm just embarrassed
    So anyone using a VPN to avoid porn bans and other measures will still see the correct name. 

    How long till a conservative politician publicly scolds Apple for not following the proclamation and outs themself?

  • How to use Siri to get answers from ChatGPT

    Given the response has no desire to ensure correctness can you really call that an answer?

  • Apple moves to open-source, unify Swift component across platforms

    Great news for the Swift community.
    Apple says that open-sourcing Swift Build will encourage participation from the corporate sector, academia, and other open-source projects.
    Swift's popularity should take off like a rocket for the awesome programming language that it is.

    It should help accelerate the embedded swift usage that has been experimented with in the last couple of years..

  • Apple may be considering a restart of advertising on X

    Given most of the ads they pay for on X will be served up to bots what could the ROI possibly be.

    Still, I guess it shows there has been enough market fragmentation that any high value customers have left X. To consider going back to a culture context that has gotten more aggressive and insular.

  • Apple Vision Pro review one year later: time to exit the preview

    I think the big part of the problem is the same the Mac had early days as well
    journalist who write about tech as still journalists and work with words.
    this is a computing style for working with space. Working space gets very bad coverage historically. Pictures are a thousand word a space is a billion.

    If Apple want to push that side then highlight how people are using it in those fields. Real stories not just grabs of actor architects at stand up desks.
