    To think this utter madman also has his finger on the nuclear button. He’s out of control but none of his team can do anything about it. Bit like Putin. 
    Last night I was listening to a history podcast. the subject was Emperor Caligula. The important point was that everyone in the palace and in the Senate knew he was insane. They knew he was making stupid choices that were damaging the empire. But everyone was too busy either arguing on the floor of the Senate, and/or jockeying for their own position/power/wealth so nobody stepped in. I see similarities to today. 
    Wasn't Caligula killed by his guards? 
    Yes finally when no one else would step up and remove him.

    Wow, I think this is the first time I’ve ever not wanted to install an update.

    I’ll do it because there are likely some security updates, but I wish it were possible to not have all the AI stuff that, for me, just creates bloat.
    If it’s any consolation, for the first time in a long time when I updated it did NOT turn Apple Intelligence on. I have it disabled and much to my surprise it stayed that way. Of course YMMV.

  • Morgan Stanley slashes AAPL price target to $252 on lower iPhone upgrade rate fears

    Well honestly my iPhone 11 was doing everything I wanted and needed. If I hadn’t had a weird occurrence I wouldn’t be upgrading this weekend. It was in my pocket when I woke up from a nap on the couch. Unfortunately the camera is toast and I use it to image documents for taxes. If it weren’t for this I was planning on holding out until at least this fall.

  • Everyone is a loser in the Apple Intelligence race

    DAalsethDAalseth
    You make a good point that AI can do good things in photography, driver assist in cars, scientific research, and such. Analytical AI is a useful tool that is doing a lot of good.

    Generative AI, which is what ChatGPT, Copilot, Apple Intelligence, and the others are, is garbage. I have made a point of disabling it on my systems. Due to an unfortunate accident I will be replacing my (AI Free) iPhone11 this weekend with a 16Pro. The VERY FIRST thing I will do on setup is to disable Apple Intelligence. With every OS update after that the very first thing I will do is make sure it is still off. I have no time or space to waste with garbage. There is nothing in Apple Intelligence now, or that is predicted over the next several years that I will waste my time with.

    And I’m confident that by the time I’m updating my 16 I am sure that most people will be of like mind.
