  • Apple's satellite plans could be stalled by Elon Musk's Starlink

    Musk and Trump have been eliminating oversight on so many government agencies it boggles the mind. Agency heads are constantly being replaced by unqualified stooges who are constantly stepping on their own *&%#s and having to try to walk back huge missteps. This was not done in any spirit of "fair competition". Corruption is the word, and it's routinely ignored by a shocking number of the population. It will only get worse.

  • watchOS 11.4 was briefly available, and was pulled by Apple [u]

    It looks like Apple pulled the 11.4 update. Maybe it wasn't supposed to be released yet because something else wasn't ready or maybe there was a bug discovered that needs to be squashed?

  • How to install App Store apps on an external SSD

    timpetus said:
    Shouldn't be this weird, but I don't really want to use the Mac App Store anyway so I'm kind of happy they are making it difficult. On a computer, I want maximum freedom to install apps and store all my files wherever I want - that's sort of the point of desktop computers with a file system.
    Are you high?

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

    It looks like it should ship with a ball gag. So I've heard. If it works for someone that's all that matters. I've yet to buy an AVP but I really want one. I'll probably try the dual headband first. This thing just seems too involved. Maybe just attach some He balloons to the AVP.

  • John Giannandrea out as Siri chief, Apple Vision Pro lead in

     the lack of progress on Siri has not been a good look for Apple over the last year.

    The last year? How about the last decade. About the only thing Siri has consistently been good at is setting a timer. Most of the time I use Alexa for that, but it frequently forgets before time is up.

    Is AI supposed to save Siri? I've no interest in AI and probably won't for the next 1-2 years, until it can do something I'm interested in, and do it accurately and reliably.
