AI is just another tool to nerd out and tinker with. The question was "Is anyone else losing their motivation to nerd out and tinker". If you're using AI (to wit: another tool) to nerd out and tinker, then you're obvious

My working assumption based on what I hear out of Flock is that they have a public feature set (mass license plate surveillance for LEO) and a covert feature set (even more mass surveillance, beyond license plates and privacy agreements, fo

You can create a Shortcuts automation on macOS 27 that fires when a new image is saved to the Screenshots folder that uses Apple Intelligence to view the image and rename the file accordingly (eg: "finder-window.png"). 1. Create a

I love and use a few of those products and would agree, but I think a bigger component is our relationship to technology. IMHO, calm technology is both a property of a product and a way of relating to a product. And I think it's quite
