It'll be very interesting what they'll cut though, I have a feeling that any future version will be very similar. There's not much they can cut without making it feel cheep and comparable to a cheeper meta product

I fear they'll position it just like they have the ipad, primarily focused towards entertainment with a super locked down environment that's noticeably worse than a mac, if it ends up that way it'll be a deal breaker for me a

There is a 7$ watch link remover on amazon with prime one-day shipping where i'm at, apple's no-tool bands cost $350+. there isn't some sorta collusion between watchmakers and jewelers when bands are designed with a simple pi

The token limit is 100% an artificial limitation. When ChatGPT first released last november I took the opportunity to try pasting 3k-line codebases into it to get it to walk me through them and it worked perfectly fine, putting that same co

Same thought here! it really sucks that 3g networks shut down making most flip phones functionality useless. there really aren't any modern smart phones designed for people who want something easy to use which makes this announcement s

The increased violence at the hospital I worked at for a bit was because by law anyone who police find to be overdosing need to be brought to nearest emergency room. This meant alot of the people there weren't mentally sound and defini

the problem is the sorta person to buy a wallet from a classifieds website isn't willing to spend $30 on a scale to weigh it, because if they had that money they'd just buy it from the official store instead

Most of these questions are completely impractical Use m to substitute p, a to substitute e, n to substitute a, g to substitute c, o to substitute h, how to spell peach under this rule? For years people have complained about how inac

The amount of value that ChatGPT has given me is enough where I don't care at all if my own tutorials and documentation has been scraped to expand the model's knowledge. I'm not profiting off my work either way, and if helps

I really like the idea of being able to customize every part of the shopping experience, modern online shopping feels really generic nowadays when everyone uses stripe and every checkout looks the same. Really interesting how amazon will ha

I'd say between that healthkit and arduino's it was snap-circuits which allowed kids like me to get into electronics, the manual was detailed and looking back it's fairly technical although it unfortunately it always assumed

At least for me individually 5G has been a worse experience vs LTE because of how quickly it drains the tiny 2,227mah battery in my iphone 12 mini, turning off 5G doesn't noticeably affect my cell performance while at the same time inc

Yea I found android better at preventing ads, when I switched to an iPhone I noted that policy and was relieved that I wouldn't be bothered with ads again; only to find that most apps for retail stores still send me coupons and deals w

Im fairly certain it will be just like macos, sure you can make apps people can download, but if you don't want your users to face scary popups when starting up your app for the first time you gotta cough up $99/year for a develop

Apple already lets you sign your own apps, but i will admit the 1 week expiration is very quick and a $99/year developer subscription for 1 year signing is way too expensive for most hobbyists. It'll be great to see all the neat l

There’s something charming about a website being tied to something physical like how this one requires sunny weather, reminds me of the blog post “I wish my web server were in the corner of my room” https://interconnected.org&#x2

iPhone batteries are user replaceable though! Apple will sell you the battery for $91 (only $45 if you send your old battery back) and will rent you all the equipment you need packed in two pelican cases for $49/week, shipping included

What makes it so much better than normal text classification for me is it doesn't require tons of training data to accurately classify text. using it to parse craigslist posts which i might find interesting showed very promising result
