    All the chronic rumor deniers eating crow right now.
    Will gladly, eat crow if Apple reintroduces a new 27 inch iMac at least someone will get to use the re-introduction of a great all-in-one Mac computer, too late for me I had to buy a Max Headroom Mac……
    You might as well enjoy it then. Here’s a suggestion from ChatGPT. Please, let us know if you liked it.


    **Crow Pie**:

    **Ingredients**:
    1. 2-3 cleaned and dressed crows
    2. Salt and pepper, to taste
    3. 1/2 cup chopped onions
    4. 1/2 cup chopped celery
    5. 1/4 cup chopped carrots
    6. 2 cloves garlic, minced
    7. 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
    8. 1/2 cup red wine (optional)
    9. 2 tsp fresh thyme or 1 tsp dried thyme
    10. 2 tsp fresh rosemary or 1 tsp dried rosemary
    11. Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
    12. 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
    13. 2 tbsp butter or oil

    **Instructions**:

    1. **Preparation of Crow**:
        a. Pluck the feathers from the crow and clean them thoroughly.
        b. Cut them into serving pieces.
        
    2. **Cooking**:
        a. In a large pan or Dutch oven, heat butter or oil over medium heat.
        b. Add the crow pieces and brown on all sides.
        c. Remove the crow and set aside.
        d. In the same pan, add onions, celery, carrots, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are soft.
        e. Add the wine (if using) and scrape the bottom of the pan to deglaze.
        f. Return the crow pieces to the pan. Add the broth, thyme, and rosemary.
        g. Cover and let simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours or until the crow meat is tender and fully cooked.
        
    3. **Pie Assembly**:
        a. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
        b. Roll out the pie crust and place one in the bottom of a pie dish.
        c. Remove the crow pieces from the stew and place them on the pie crust.
        d. Pour the vegetable and broth mixture over the crow.
        e. Place the second pie crust on top, crimp the edges, and cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
        f. Brush the top with the beaten egg to give it a golden color when baked.
        
    4. **Baking**:
        a. Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
        b. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

    Enjoy your crow pie with a side of mashed potatoes or a green salad. Remember, like all wild game, ensure the crow is cooked thoroughly to avoid any potential illnesses.

  • Apple plans more AI in iOS, improved Siri in $1B technology push

    dope_ahminedope_ahmine
    From my side truth and perception are sometimes hard to disentangle. Apple not having visible generative AI products and a really poor quality assistant Siri that has fallen behind the times makes perception of falling behind the truth. Apple will likely have issues in attracting AI talent that is gravitating towards Google, Microsoft, Meta, Tesla etc.

    They can have all the innovation in the world behind closed doors but silence is increasingly equaling falling behind in a market that is extremely open source and open discourse about their innovations.

    In my view it is a huge miss at Apple to be so behind in shipping strong AI features in their products and OS. Some executives should really be replaced as they have become complacent with a string of years of high profits and margins. Craig should have ridden the AI wave but dropped the ball. They are getting the old bank disease. 

    As an Apple fanboi, I find it hugely disappointing that Apple is not ground zero for some of the seismic shifts in the industry on this topic. Acquiring Siri a decade so ago was a great move and then they completely let it die on the vine. 

    Right now it seems like the elite at Apple can be found in the chip department and the rest are muddling through bailed out by industry leading silicon.

    Multimodal models are now busy blowing the barn doors off what is possible and Apple is busy polishing the edges of the as-is.
    Couldn’t agree with you more, @discountopinion . Sometimes things like these have to be said out loud.

    Also, looking at the examples of things that Apple intends to use AI for makes me think of faster horses. Apple will have to do far better, and think far different(ly), than this if they intend to stay ahead of OpenAI + Jony Ive.
    …just saying
    …and the clock’s ticking

  • Apple releases iOS 17.0.3 & iPadOS 17.0.3 with overheating fixes

    dope_ahminedope_ahmine
    I wonder if this bug is also responsible for the sudden increase in power consumption (battery drain) noticed across various iPhone models since updating to iOS 17. Sure would be nice.
    That’s energy conservation theory. 
    battery drain = heat generated 
    That was exactly my point. But after the iOS 17 update, there are many more reports of battery drain, across many more iPhone models, than there are reports of overheating devices.

    Apple has focused only on the latter because here we are talking about the “perceived” overheating. A slow, continuous but excessive power drain would most likely not be noticed as overheating by the user.
