  • Apple and Google are working together to reduce AirTag & other tracker stalking

    Dooofus said:
    No chance whatsoever I, or almost any Apple customer, would use a product that gives Android/Google access to its location data. This is why we buy Apple products to begin with.
    That's a good point, Google will have access to AirTags ID and their locations if the tag simply passes someone with an Android phone. Google will be able to see where that ID is moving, and potentially link the ID to an individual when they access Google Maps with their login by matching the two GPS locations. Technically, Apple will be able to do the same except no Android user has access to or has a desire to use Apple Maps so Apple will have the short end of the stick here.

  • Apple's long-rumored 27-inch mini LED display probably isn't happening

    It could be a rumor to undervalue Apple stock and cash out after beating expectations.
    I dunno about y’all but I’m still waiting for the G5 MBP with liquid nitrogen cooling.

  • Wozniak, Musk & more call for 'out-of-control' AI development pause

    Microsoft is integrating the tech into their next version of Windows. The Copilot demos show how insanely useful this tech can be. This is a turning point in computer history. 46% of code on GitHub is already created by AI, and they just released CoPilot X. VS Code Copilot is already out too. Microsoft is in a situation where if they play their cards right they'll quickly end up on top again. I would never try installing Edge again because it is spyware but it is being adopted fast by others and may bypass Chrome in the coming years. Bard is not up to par with GPT, not even close.

  • Apple engineers allegedly testing AI-generated language features

    Goodness, I hope they do something, because Siri sucks in it's current form.  Half the time or more it just does a glorified Google search 
    Where do you think ChatGPT gets its information from?  Just because it gives you results in a conversational form doesn’t change that it’s a glorified search engine. 
    It does more than that, a lot more. Yes, it does use internet postings for knowledge, but so do we. The internet is full of all sorts of information, and this is an amazing accomplishment. Microsoft pulled a rabbit out of its hat and left every other company speechless.
    Having said that, I installed Bing on Mac to try out GPT on Bing, and let me tell ya, Edge is basically spyware. It tries to force you to run three background tasks even after you uninstall it. I had to manually delete over 5 hidden files and force quit the continuous their app that continuously requests to reactivate the tasks and would not allow you to quit it, all that just to remove that damned Edge spyware crap!
