Someone just needs to look at how Google handled their tablet and watch strategy to know Google is not a trustworthy partner. Android tablets and Wear OS had so much potential, but Google squandered their opportunities. Very sad to see Foss

I mean, lots of companies do the same thing, and it's just part of the job hunting process. If you can't stand it, you don't have to join that company, just find another one. I don't like all that stuff but there is noth

My favorite prompt: asking "How many e's are there in the word egregious". Always says three (ChatGPT 3.5, 4, 4 turbo). When you ask it which three, it realizes its mistake and apologizes (or sometimes tells you where they ar

Same here. I provided an authentic US drivers license for their verification (which I normally wouldn't do) yet that didn't pass the verification, no reason given. Well, if they don't my money, fine, I'll do it elsewhere

Exactly. Not even talking about app store which has a wide selection of games, if you just look at xbox store, which is presumably of higher quality (there is a higher bar for publishing in Xbox store -- you can't just create a new acc

I mean, literally people with Math PhDs are being paid to work on the product, full-time. And they have a financial incentive to address feedback from customers and try to solve as many problems as possible. By comparison, open source proje

The question is: does Apple actually need so many people working on GenAI? Would a team with 300 people be twice as good as a team with 150 people for what Apple is going to release as products? I wouldn't be surprised if Apple is goin

I am pretty certain of two things (1) many still carry a phone despite not having cell reception because it is convenient and many use their phones to take pictures (2) many have an Apple watch/other smartwatch/dumbwatch on their

Anyone who bothers to distinguish a product from Microsoft/nvidia/meta/someone else already know what they are doing. Most users don't care whether whether the model is run, online or local. They go to ChatGPT or Bing&#x

I don't think your comment answers the question? Basically, those who bother to know underlying model's name can already run their model without this tool from nvidia?

Not even smuggling -- I assume they can easily build a specialized car stealing device using standard components? None of this is difficult.

Maybe read a few comments here and try to understand the reasoning instead of just riding on the hype train and automatically assume Apple will succeed in every endeavor.

7840U, 1920x1200 on 50Wh battery, guess what, that's almost exactly the same as a ThinkPad T14 gen 4 (and many other devices) The screen resolution is high compared to steam deck for sure, but about the same as 7" ROG Ally (1200p

A few of my personal details were found on "dark web" according to Google. Well, they can't really talk to those people and say don't leak my password.

I have an iPad Pro 12.9. Once in a while I try to get things done on iPad only. No, no programming, other stuff. Every single time, I end up going back to my real computer and regretting wasting time figuring out how to make things work.

That's a big "except" you are talking. If I can do almost everything except this in app A, and everything except that in app B, which happen to be important workflows, why should I torture myself with an iPad instead of a pro

Exactly. My regular setup is two 27" monitors both at home and at work, but I noticed that most if the time I focus on one monitor, while the other monitor is secondary with Teams, Outlook etc and only "supports" my workflow.

Tim Apple once said that he spent 80% of his time on iPad: https://9to5mac.com/2014/07/17/apple-ceo-tim-cook-says-every... So you are looking for a spill in that 20% of the time. Watch your wallet.
