   Yep. I am pleased to say that after over a decade of development and high tens of billions USD in costs, Siri can finally play Knights of Cydonia in Youtube Music at a first try. "That Queen song from Sonic hedgehog movie" will pr

   This is exactly what I want from the iPad Pro. Unlock the virtualization support to let me have a debian/ubuntu VM with a complete development environment that I could take for holiday to make emergency fixes, and leave the precious MB

   So that's where the Control game art direction got inspired :). I love the lore, thanks!

   Awesome! I just tried to set an alarm and add some groceries to the shopping list, and it outperformed Siri.

   I think we already established "eff anyone sharing the planet with us that's not us" the moment we made acoustic underwater sonars that make life hell for any whale or dolphin in 100 km range, so this is keeping that approach

   I thinkk it's about time Ladybird got some official prebuilt binaries - I'd love to try it, but I'm not going to install its whole dev environment and build it from source.

    That might be right - Garmin is doing the best they can with vector maps, but in Apple land, 3 fps rendering wouldn't fly.

    I think it is long overdue for rebrand, as right now the marketing is "it's a simple utility to show the daily step counts Apple is already collecting anyway, oh and by the way it has awesome offline maps almost no other apps offe

    This is Apple's work - they show all enabled purchases/subscriptions author have enabled for price testing. And once you add one, removing it would mean the user's subscriptions auto-renew would get canceled, so they stay and

    My app launcher loads fine as well, but sometimes (a few times a week) it just doesn't find any apps at all. Or only some of them.

    I don't want to see it either, but as I run my app business, I much prefer being able to fix the issue if it happens, without taking my $2000+ MBP for a two week road trip full of sand and dirt.

    While I hate all the gaslighting Anthropic seems to do recently (and the fact that their harness broke the code quality, while they forbid use of third party harnesses), making decisions for users is what UX is. See also the difference betw

    Yes, but what I meant was to have an IDE, where I could run and debug the stack, and deploy when happy. Technically totally doable, just give me a VS Code + local Linux container (Apple Silicon is great at virtualization) to which it can tu

    I sign this essay. Apple has apparently multiple opposing goals for the iPadOS: 1. Make it powerful enough so that it can be sold as equivalent to macOS 2. Keep it locked like iOS, to be sold as secure alternative to computer for your paren

    I applaud the idea and the technological part of that, but of course, as with all AI models, it produces utter slop once you go even a tiny bit outside of the learning data. For example, here I asked for a mechanism of converting the circul

    There is almost no way any hyper optimized OS could protect you from Windsurf re-layouting the whole UI 60 times per second because of badly implemented spinner, and taking 8 GB of RAM to show it.

    I got a 128 GB MBP, and the current models are fit enough to manage the calendar or do research on web (very slowly), not to be useful companions for coding as I hoped.
