     The app works with macOS Sonoma or later on Macs with M-series processors.

    So every single person with an Intel Mac has upgraded to an Mx Mac have they, Wesley?
    Yep, because by "everyone" I clearly meant every Mac ever. PowerPC too. Why not. Especially since I totally didn't explain "everyone" in the second paragraph.
    So what you say is “ChatGPT app for Apple Silicon Macs now available for everyone”.

  • HomeKit now lets you manually set what device is your Home Hub in iOS 18

    FINALLY!!! HomeKit always wants to use the oldest AppleTV of mine, without Thread no less, when I have a perfectly good HomePod mini 4ft away from my wifi router and a 2nd gen AppleTV 4K the next room over lol.

    I thought I had read the issue of HomeKit devices "being on a different wifi network" (ie: I have both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz networks from one router) was going to be addressed in this update. That would be so nice! I purposely removed and re-installed every AppleTV and HomePod last year with my iPhone on the 2.4Ghz network but it seems, due to all these devices being logged into my iCloud and sharing wifi access point passwords, I always have one or two devices that insist on connecting to my 5Ghz network. This results in errors in the Home app showing a mis-matched wifi network.
    Having separate networks for 2.4 and 5GHz is a bad idea. Name them the same, and let the devices decide which is best to connect to.

  • Activists rally at Apple Park for reinstatement of child safety features

    A big part of the resistance was this would enable less 'friendly' governments to add particular images they didn't approve of to the database, CSAM or not. It could potentially flag images and therefore people that had anti-government photos in their library. Imagine a pro-Ukranian Russian citizen screenshotting some article to show a friend, but Putin had screenshots of that same article pushed into Russia's national CSAM database. All of a sudden that citizen has fallen out of a 10th story window. It is a lot harder to quietly compel Apple to write spyware for iOS than it is to simply add a signature to a database.

  • iOS 18 gives iPhone 15 more charging limit tiers to protect the battery

    Better yet, Apple should enable this feature on earlier phones. My 14 Pro can put its charging on hold for hours (maintaining 80%) when using continuity camera. It’s not a hardware limitation.
    Apple seems to have gone really hard on limiting new features to the latest iPhone in iOS 18.
