I would have never guessed the answer. With such little data available, one can invent any arbitrary rules to fit their favorite answer. It would be more impressive to practical use cases, if a LLM simply said that it's impossible to g

I think the strangest design decision is not even EyeSight display, but the battery pack design. The whole thing is so insanely overbuilt, with the metal frame and the battery itself weighting only half of the entire device. It looks comple

Apple dropped support for 32 bit binaries, then migrated from Intel to ARM architecture, breaking backwards compatibility in major way. This led to the inability to run the absolute majority of the existing library of games on the recent Ap

I recently came across UTM when searching for a way to access a ext4 formatted SD card on macOS. Surprisingly, UTM with Arch VM was able to read and write the card through a USB card reader with zero friction or additional setup needed.
