Doing work for computers means something is broken in your process, product, culture, or whatever else.

I agree. When Marc Benioff was talking about how he spends like 3 hours a day chatting with AI, things made a bit more sense. I suspect that a lot of these guys are just chattering away with self-affirming LLMs and have just completely lost

Yes, it would. Something I keep in mind is that the “goal” success/failure rate really needs to be appropriate in context. We sure can’t eliminate human error, but for my work a best case 80/20 would mean I’m losing customers and

Probably depends on the user. Along with push notifications for almost every app on every one of my devices, I disable the summarization. For me the notification is the point, and the point of notifications to me is that they deserve my att

On iOS it wouldn’t even be that hard. There’s already a toggle to disable use of cellular connectivity. Add a separate one for non-cellular (iPadOS can connect via Ethernet), and/or a “disallow all” toggle. We are partly there in spiri

You know, I would love a feature that lets me mark push notifications as spam, and optionally send them to Apple. The last part is important for a variety of reasons, one of which is that notifications can be end to end encrypted. Spam filt

Absolutely agreed. How much time must everyone be asked to waste to “tune” a working set of applications to something reasonably sane for human beings. Sure, what is sane for one human might not be for the next, but it’s not as if trends ca

I absolutely hate medical marketing. I recently decided to switch dermatology practices over a combination of bad data management, unwelcome marketing for cosmetic dermatology products, and unsolicited SMSs. I never consented to receive mar

This write-up is a shining example of why I’ve been rebuilding my business slowly away from Microsoft technology. Entra as IdP is one of the last projects. I’m probably not going to escape Exchange Online, but I’m going to be happy to final

The Domain Capture process cannot be canceled once it’s started. It’s also not required, unless by your company policy. The point is to make sure there’s not a mess on the other end when you enforce SSO for MAIDs. Apple’s documentation for

It really gives you a sense that no one at GitHub finds it necessary to search those logs. Which I find…unusual.

You’re not supposed to do the math. You’re supposed to nod and say “oh, yes, that makes sense.”

This does require large players acting in good faith. Or, at best, competently. Sometimes both of those, or neither, are in evidence. But I like the way you think. Make it a contract performance issue for legal teams to police internally.

I’d do that even in my personal capacity. Buy a new copy every major version release (where that’s applicable). At least the new edition would be a worthwhile expense.

You can completely disable biometry if you wish to do so. Apple Pay without biometrics is somewhat annoying.

I can’t think of a single airline that can’t or won’t print a boarding pass. At least not based in North America.

“Spicy autocomplete” absolutely made my day. Thank you.

Exactly. The marketing makes this look like something general for deploying cloud stacks. But what it seems to be is just a fast way to deploy resources to platform providers that use Stripe to bill you? Or maybe the marketing is just confu

The former businesses don’t run technology stacks that might, inherently by design, regurgitate any given piece of information that they encounter. They’re also purpose built to do tax/accounting work, and can’t go “off script” with fi

Speaking as someone who has used em-dashes and semicolons for years, it’s a shame what the AI companies have done with punctuation.

As someone who frequently says “don’t connect these $things” to the Internet, I appreciate the boost. Half my compute vendors are raising prices because of this insanity.

You can enable Advanced Data Protection to address that issue with iMessages. Giving users an option between both paths is usually best. Most users care a lot more that they can’t restore a usable backup of their messages than they do that

And it’s typically disclosed in one way or another. Between buying a phone and reading the OS EULA to providing an E911 address to my carrier, I can count at least three disclosures of this feature. Nothing is secret or magic here.

It isn’t restricted to Boost Mobile. It is only available on devices with the C1 or C1X modem, though. I assume this is because of specifics with the third party modems that most models in the wild have vs what Apple is doing in-house with

It’s technically possible, but it would be difficult and likely require breaching an NDA. A bit pedantic, perhaps, but it’s out there. Apple makes available on a highly controlled basis iPhones which permit the user to disable “virtually

Anthropic at least has Amazon’s backing. OpenAI is where the industry is stuffing all of its bad debt and transparently bad deals. It’s the sacrificial company this time around. I would dance on Oracle’s grave, but they have too much stayin

I’ve used iPhones exclusively as my daily driver phone for almost 20 years now. It’s tempting to get a phone that GrapheneOS supports at my next refresh. I generally like Apple’s technology. I like their high level stability - they don’t la
