Yes? That's what the law currently allows. If we want to make a law that says companies are required to let end users install _any_ software they want onto any device they legally own, that encompasses almost the entire consumer produc

Agreed- the idea of "winning" a hackathon seems kind of wild to me. It doesn't seem like something you should be able to win.

It's the inverse problem. EU wants anyone to be able to install a different AI agent onto their phone with the same access as Siri. Apple says "no- we need time to figure out how that would work, we want other agents to meet the s

There's a post here: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/06/due-to-dma-siri-ai-de... Take it with a grain of salt but I don't think it's other AI providers that Apple is upset about. The DMA wo

I think it's important to note what they didn't talk about. They briefly scrolled a long list of performance improvements and mentioned a few. Personally, I am very hopeful that the fact that they only talked about these high leve

I got an Xbox Ally X (with bazzite as Gabe intended) after enjoying the steam deck so much. I get it's not for everyone, but I wasn't playing games on my desktop due to life/kids/etc. The handheld is awesome for my perso

It is entirely possible to recognize the things that are good about the US while also seeing the very terrible things. Nothing is perfect and if we tell ourselves it is by criticizing anyone who says otherwise, we are robbing not only the w

I have been bothering the VM team for years for VM GPU pass through. I worked on the Apple Silicon Mac Pro and it would have made way more sense if you could run a linux VM and pass through the GPU that goes inside the case! Sadly, as you

Literally my only complaint about Sebastian Lague is that he doesn't have enough videos. I usually put them on to fall asleep. I've thought about making my own just to include more content like that out there. The fairly deep tech

I don't think there should be an investigation. Data got leaked? That's a fine. Consequences happened? The people who stole it are accountable but so are the people who had the data in the first place. Just don't have the dat

I remember circa 2010 a friend of mine at college was like “blackboard sucks, let’s build something new”. At the time I poo pood the idea and lo and behold canvas came out a year later. Outside looking in, they been crushing it.

Cruft can be removed yes but the telemetry is literally how they measure quality. Their metrics of whether it’s good or not is the status of telemetry on a given device set and figuring out root cause. So they can’t easily roll back the tel

I was at Microsoft for that particular transition but it is still wild to me that a post about improving quality starts with details about windows insiders.

I read a short novel about a technology that allowed you to have a VR like experience while dreaming. Of course, there was all the fun/perverted stuff you can think of but also it was immediately put to use as a corporate tool. Over a

In the article it lists a data point that beer production in Arizona used more water than the data centers in Arizona. People may vehemently disagree, but we absolutely do not need beer. Would I trade beer for AI? That's an easy choice

I’ve started to see bug bounty programs put flags into the product (see apples target flags https://security.apple.com/bounty/target-flags/ ). I wonder if it’s partially to make it easier to validate from an AI per

Today it’s a ban on gambling ads, but tomorrow it’s a ban on mosquitos, cancer, and discrimination. Listing a bunch of things a lot of people don’t like isn’t a winning argument.

Yes- that's what I referring to. Basically the virtualization framework supporting handing a specific PCIe device off to a VM. Link management is still handled by macOS but the actual PCIe packets are handled by the VM (which could be

Hardware generally isn't allowed outside of lockdowns. There are things you can do with dev fused hardware to remotely control it which make life easier. But most devs just come into the office since being there in person is nicer.

As someone who worked on the M2 Mac Pro and has a real soft spot for it, I get it. It’s horrendously expensive and doesn’t offer much benefit over a Mac Studio and a thunderbolt pci chassis. My personal dream is that vms would support pci p

The reality is that every business unit needs to justify its existence and when asking for headcount, it’s easier to point to a revenue stream you’re tied to rather than “we help sell some things to businesses”

It seems like another tragedy of the commons. Consumers ultimately have the final say in climate impacts by above companies. That isn’t to say consumers are guilt free, but the power of an individual is pretty small

Like most people (at least on this thread). I’m okay with the vast majority of these things not supported in mobile safari. But man, Bluetooth would be nice. I often provision esp32 devices for various things and either I need an app or a l
