  • More M4: When the Mac will get upgraded with the latest Apple Silicon

    9secondkox29secondkox2
    Kinda feeling Apple will buck history here and update quite a few Mac’s this year to m4 status for multiple reasons:

    a) it cleans up the generational mess over the last couple of years. 

    b) it puts further distance between apple silicon and Qualcomm’s disingenuous comparisons. 

    C) it allows for Apple Intelligence to shine on all Mac’s, showcasing Apple as the AI leader. 

    Between a and b, apple gets seen as the place to go for top tier ai.

  • What happened to Safari Web Eraser -- the controversy, and what it looked like

    9secondkox29secondkox2
    Nobody gives a crap about publishers. 

    It’s MY computer. 

    If I want to block content snd erase my footprint on the internet, I should be able to do so. 

    Sucks this isn’t an os/browser feature.

  • Adobe has clarified controversial shrinkwrap license terms, but the damage may have alread...

    What would Apple say if you asked them?

    Apple made a nearly identical rights claim change in its Terms of Service at the end of March, worded in much the same way but far more vaguely. But no one noticed. Perhaps that's why Apple has never clarified what it means, either. My guess is the same as Adobe's, but like them, Apple ( and everyone else) needs to be clearer on it.

    "Except to the extent prohibited by law, you hereby grant Apple a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, nonexclusive license to use the materials you submit within the Services and related marketing as well as to use the materials you submit for Apple internal purposes. Apple may monitor and decide to remove or edit any submitted material, including via automated content filters and/or human review." 

    There are too many questions surrounding how our data is being used across all LLM training and delivered AI services. Companies try to avoid discussing it unless the questions become too public. For Adobe they did.
    Please provide the specific Apple link from where that quote was drawn. I'd like to see the context for the word "submit" mentioned multiple times in your quote. That word is not in the Adobe quotes shown in the article. 
    It’s under “Submissions To Our Services” here:
    https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/

    Apple explicitly states it’s for internal purposes. I can imagine training scenarios, going over reviews, iBooks trends, etc. 

    The key word is internal. 

    If Apple plans to use your iTunes/Apple Music art, photos, etc to train ai, then that’s different because that will result in a public display, regardless of it being mashed up with other works as well. 

    Then again, apple IS making a major push into ai. So they could be training it on our content, which would really suck. Even worse if they sell the data to OpenAI, etc. 

    Ai has become an excuse to plagiarize without penalty. In reality, it shouldn’t matter if it’s a mashup of stored content. That content was created by many others. They deserve to control or monetize their content. Not have it ripped off so a bunch of people lacking in those gifts can ask a chat bot to “make” it. 

    I really hope apple is not doing that. But I’m also not going to be surprised otherwise.

  • Old iPads are a staple in US homes, long after they've gone obsolete

    9secondkox29secondkox2
    Old iPads go on the walls to run HomeKit. 

    It’s great. Like Star Trek in the house. No Nest or anything in the home.

  • Apple loses another designer who worked in Jony Ive's core team

    9secondkox29secondkox2
    I doubt it’s about retirement. 

    When you’re doing something you love snd something you’re good at, you want to do it forever - especially if you’re paid to do it!

    sounds like personnel conflict. Some “new” guy coming in snd “wrecking everything” isn't going to sit well. After a while, you get tired of it snd decide it’s no longer fun, no longer feels important and not worth it any longer. 

    Designers are some of the most passionate, opinionated, curious, and driven people on the planet. 

    When you kill the passion, don’t care about their discourse, limit exploration, and just hand out paint-by-numbers projects, you kill the drive. 

    Then you lose the designer. 

    Jeff Williams is not a design guy. Whoever appointed him in that role needs to be checked. Jeff is an ops guy. 

    Being that Apple lives and breathes by design, they’d better sort that out quick. 

    IVE ESTABLISHED AN AMAZING FRAMEWORK THST HAS NOT ONLY PROVEN SUCCESSFUL IN THE PAST SMD PRESENT, BUT IS BUILT ON TIMELESS PRINCIPLES WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO BLOSSOM IN THE FUTURE. 

    you break that and you’re in trouble. 

    The new iPad pro is a masterclass in design. Looks like something Ive would have done. Hopefully they don’t lose too many folks that are equipped with that kind of talent and vision.
