  • Apple releases macOS Monterey with Shortcuts and Live Text

    And once more:

    Good news is actionable news.
    For news about new software releases to be actionable, BUILD NUMBERS are ESSENTIAL.

    If I have e.g. a RC candidate installed, I can’t tell if the RC and the final release are identical without knowing the BUILD NUMBER.

    So please, how many years do I have to ask for it, report the build numbers when reporting new OS software releases!

  • New Facebook whistleblower claims company allows hate, illegal activity

    What is “hate speech”? Given what gets censored at FB, I read such reports with suspicion that some left-wing snowflake wasn’t happy that they couldn’t silence every opinion they didn’t like.

    Example: I commented on a decision by the German parliament with the expletive “F*ing Germans!”, which was flagged as “hate speech” and my account suspended for 48h. Really? They have utterly no context and seem to filter posts with a very crude “AI” or keyword based algorithm.

    Trying to get the block lifted or the infringement expunged (since it leads to progressively longer suspensions for repeat offenses) is nearly impossible, you can submit your objection, but without any explanation text.

    Another time I was arguing a hypothetical point, and it too was flagged, even though out of context it should have been clear that it was pretty much the opposite of the point I was making.

    So, yeah, profit over filtering hate speech is a VERY GOOD thing, at least until they don’t have actual people with real common sense reviewing what gets filtered.

  • MagSafe Duo Charger doesn't support Apple Watch Series 7 fast charging

     Big deal; I have the duo, it charges fine, it won’t stop charging fine. Just because there’s a new gadget that can charge a bit faster, not a big deal, charging speeds are already fine, and the duo is perfect for travel: less outlets and cables required, easy to pack…

    The bigger issue is, that on occasion the iPhone indicates it’s charging, and then you wake up in the morning, and the battery is (nearly) drained despite the phone supposedly charging. Fixing that is more relevant than “fast charging”
