Sorry do you mean in general, if I went to a paint store and they showed me a cyan patch? It would depend on that particular shade of cyan if it was more green or blue, and then on top of that my eyes bias towards green/blue. Or are yo

Yes, that's the point of the test, to see how you perceive the ambiguous ones. That is, at the end it shows the chart with the left 50% is green and right 50% is blue. The turquoise in the middle is what is hard to tell if green (aka o

I assume that would defeat the purpose, since turquoise is blue and green. And while for most the more initial more obvious blue or greens are easier, when close to the middle of in between blue and green (aka turquoise), that's where

Agreed. Gmail is probably their best product and while they make money from Google Workspace, imagine without Google Ads, they'd have to start charging those 2 billion users who would then leave for a lesser but cheaper alternative. An

In this case it's more the reverse. Insecurity by obscurity since by default its secure but they are making it harder for people to make less secure.

Curious why the title here excludes "heavily" from heavily trained. Since even "rather heavily trained" was being quite generous since it clones the entire app (other than the shade of color), but removing heavily makes

It was available initially for select paying users then rolled out to presumably all paying users, and this new announcement is that it's available for in general all users.

Presumably because Apple is all about privacy and this RCS won’t be encrypted and so any law enforcement or hackers may get access I like with SMS, I imagine they don’t want to boast about it.

Nothing new in this article. While starts with, "The long-awaited day is here: Apple has announced that its Messages app will support RCS in iOS 18." no such day is here. They previously announced it was coming later this year (wh

That's wild and crazy, though understand where they are coming from. That is, there is so much that can go wrong without restrictions around elections. And so they are putting a blanket band, they could go in an manually add exceptions

It starts off with, "Days before". However, we all know from her actual post, that it was only "2 days before". While 2 days falls under that, 2 days vs say 6 days make it even more damning. Since it's one day short

Not sure what you mean, as yes, this is a bug they note they have now resolved. The bug presumably isn't that when you delete something on most any device that it's not actually deleted, but rather the bug is that something in the

Apple offers personalized ads, but as you can see from all their quarterly results, that is not their business but rather a tiny portion compared to companies such as Meta and Google that advertising is their business. Apple shows what they

I can only speak for myself, but my guess is the vast majority didn't think twice about the ad. Beyond, it's mimicking a very popular trend on FB/TikTok/Instagram, of things getting crushed, that so many of us can't

Same here! Love the idea behind this, but of course the big question is was one able to legally provide the content of 14,501 books to ChatGPT? Or there some database that has the content of all such books, and one can license there use?

Interesting, I've greatly enjoyed it. And often note how for instance Microsoft's implementation is much poorer design as well as Google's implementation of their chat bot. While always room for improvement, haven't hear
