  • ResMed Kontor Head Strap for Apple Vision Pro review: bring balance to spatial computing

    emoelleremoeller
    This has been unavailable for months from Apple (no stores have them in stock and they are not available from the link you provided - or any other link).

    If you really don't like your Med size Kontor I'll be happy to purchase it from you.

  • Look Around in Apple Maps imagery will be used to train Apple Intelligence

    This doesn't make a lot of sense since this data is available from several sources now.  BUT Apple could be capturing this data in Spatial 3-d format which would be unique and build on the Vision Pro development.

  • How to use SVG on the Mac and on the web

    Everyone has their fav app- mine has been Graphics Converter (v12 now) by Lemke Software GmbH.   Been using it for years for many format conversions.

  • Apple's bad blood with Nvidia continues, after decades of fighting

    emoelleremoeller
    As AppleInsider noted  collaboration on the developer side exists as this recent announcement by NVIDIA states

    Nvidia said in a blog post:

    “This collaboration between NVIDIA and Apple, has made TensorRT-LLM more powerful and more flexible, enabling the LLM community to innovate more sophisticated models and easily deploy them with TensorRT-LLM to achieve unparalleled performance on NVIDIA GPUs. These new features open exciting possibilities, and we eagerly anticipate the next generation of advanced models from the community that leverage TensorRT-LLM capabilities, driving further improvements in LLM workloads.”


    This collaboration is based on Apple's AI work "Recurrent Drafter (ReDrafter)".   I think that both companies are eager to share and grow AI opportunities.  Rather it is on the business side (providing hardware chips, quality control, IP) that the relationship is strained.  This is not a surprise.  

    Of all of the tech companies only Tesla provides a truly altruistic and open environment sharing patents, IP, etc to further their stated goals:   energy efficiency, decarbonization, human settlement on Mars.  Apple didn't start off with its "walled garden" it was developed over decades to maximize profitability.  

    Apple would be wise to refocus more on its stated goals by encouraging/highlighting their collaborations in support of those goals.

  • The dream of an all-glass iPhone will have to wait a bit longer

    Cases aren't an issue for me.... For years I've been rocking an ARC minimalist case.  Dropped my phones dozens of times without damage.  They slip easily in and out of my pocket.  Only issue is they are a bit heavy, but not any more than a regular case.   I still have an Apple battery pack (discontinued) that I use with my 16P and it just barely fits with the ARC casehttps://arc.cc/
