  • Patrick Wardle teams up with ex-Apple researcher to boost Mac security for all

    This could be a very interesting collaboration. Wardle’s tools are interesting in the way that they detect various types of malware but they currently require too much user involvement which can make them false-positive fire hoses. If AI could be used to filter that torrent to those alerts I really need to examine more closely, that would be a big win.

    Not sure I understand your point about the Objective See apps. I have a number of them and they work well.

  • Apple sat at a crossroads of indecision that led to Project Titan's slow death

    The mistake appears to be focussing on autonomous driving instead of good design. Talk about something no one wants, a windoless car with a game controller for emergency driving. It's easy to understand how a tech company can get enamored with something like self driving, but the fact that the executives went along with it for so many years is pretty bad. I'm thinking about 5 years ago they began to figure out it wasn't going to work, but the project was so big and expensive that no one was willing to stand up and kill it.

    Autonomous driving likely will never work the way the tech prognosticators want it to. It could be 50 years before it becomes ubiquitous. One thing that will absolutely be necessary for wide adoption is time, and thus the deaths of millions of people like me who would never be comfortable riding in such a vehicle. funny thing about life on earth, every 100 years - all new people.

  • A new call feature on X is on by default, and you should probably turn it off

    Was reading these comments and noticed I had been logged out of AI. Clicked the sign in button and right there big as day was the option to sign in with Twitter. :D

  • Apple Vision Pro is not the iPhone, and faces an incredibly steep uphill climb

    As others have sort of said, this seems to be a transition product. Or a product attempting to plant a seed for future products. I don't know for sure, but it doesn't seem intended in any way to be a mass market device. This sort of tech has no appeal for me, but who knows, even at age 66 I might change that position if I see a reason to do so.

  • Apple is pushing hard to make the Mac relevant in gaming

    The other thing that I would like to see from Apple that I think would help with this transition is a version of the Apple TV with the power level closer to a Mac than an iPhone.

    This seems like it would be good thing.
    Or maybe a Mini with enhanced gaming specs AND an Apple TV built in.
