My guess (or hope) is that the new ATV will be powerful enough to run some local LLMs and act as a on-premise backend for AI in HomePods. 

All right, I'll bite. I have no idea what this means. Does it help play music or watch tv? Does it mean when I say, "hey siri. play that music by Taylor Swift where she complains about her ex-boyfriends?" and she responds, "I don't know how to do that. Here's some information on your iPhone..." that I don't have with me and don't care to look at or i would have gone there first will stop?

Came here just to ask what's in the iPhone 18 Jobs revealed.

Bloomberg (Gurman's employer) never retracted their story on The Big Hack. Could all this be real? Sure. Specific evidence? <crickets chirping> <clickbait links triggered> <money flows to fearmongers>

All that aside, Apple makes nearly all their products in China. Apple's flagship product is "privacy." Now, while that sinks in a bit, a product I'd really like from Apple is a return to making home internet routers/ wifi like the long abandoned Airport - but with an onboard Apple created VPN. Yes, I'd pay a subscription service. 

While we are on the subject, I'm pondering using a mac mini as a wifi base station. Plug the ethernet port right into the cable modem, then share the internet connection via wifi with a VPN running on it. Anyone else do this? Seems like it has some significant advantages.

I’ll be upgrading for the security patches. I don’t see anything else I need/want. 

• ChatGPT, writing tools, I am a writer, i don’t need a GD AI tool to write. Hard no.
• Visual Intelligence and Camera Controls, don’t have an iPhone 16
• Image Playground, I am an artist I don’t need a GD AI tool to make art. Hard no.
• Genmogi, I already don’t use Memoji and almost no Emoji, pass
• Email categorization, replace my one in box with 4, maybe some people would find that useful, for me it’ll stay firmly off
• FindMy Hearing Health, these sound like they might be useful, except I don’t own any AirTags or AirPods so they won’t be for me.

OK, boomer. we get it.

The M5 does not have an off switch.
