Easy fix. One time “The Italian Government wishes to make things easy for you with a one time permission which will allow all apps to read all your personal data. Do you agree to share your private data with every app you install?”

I think the grading here is way too high. Even if the bar is “the competency of an 8 year old” it failed to stay on task, it wasn’t graded on task accuracy, it failed to work around any limitations (depending on OpenAI backend with significant timeout limitations instead of generating a local...

I am not an artist myself, but reading a review by an artist on another site if you slap a paper texture on the screen it is superior in almost every way to an old fashioned book and pencil system. The Apple Pencil is superior to the Wacom of old and you don’t have to lug a full portfolio and...

Umm. The article literally says it comes with an HDMI port. And as for protocols they still sell a VGA adapter for gosh sakes and there are tons of third party USB-C dongles for every port type which are fully supported so the protocol comment is wrong too. If you are throwing out old monitors...

With a bit more detail the browsers instead warn you of for instance any http:// site with any sort of form information. It is difficult to find a non https:// site online because of this constant shaming. Edit to clarify why the change is good: Instead of a little ignorable lock when things...

If the fed wanted to prove it is vaguely competent they would build a hardened database to centralize city data. Sadly another yahoo like Trump is likely to show up and decide that infrastructure is a scam and gut it. Still it is nice to dream of a future with a competent government.

Actually… it does. I have never run into anyone claiming to have logged into iCloud.com to use their Pages or Numbers web apps, but the option is certainly there. Apple keeps the web version more or less in sync with the App Store Version. They even have an online version of Maps, Music, News...

That cat is out of the gate. There are ad companies out there that target AI already. If AI has the jobs it will also have the money.

Even as a joke I would not wish such a project on my worst enemy. With many manufacturers selling “new” computers with years old chips, shipping with OS versions that were already not eligible for updates, or barely functioning computers with the shipping OS even an LLM would cry trying to make...

Jeeves, bring me the gold plated wrench and more sparkling water for the foot bath.

It is interesting the EU tries to protect consumers by preventing Apple from anonymizing app purchases, vetting apps to discourage tracking, forcing clarification of when subscribing as to the terms and durations and remove dark patterns when canceling subscriptions. I guess European companies...

It seems the only logical choice here is for Apple to sell Android phones themed with Apple apps in the EU since apparently every Apple specific feature is going to be deemed illegal. If generic is what they desperately want there really is not much choice. It is not like they are offering to...

I think this was a joke on “news from the future”. Musk is gutting many of the safety features of the US government. Any day now articles will start appearing about completely preventable tragedies if the NOAA or park rangers were properly staffed. It will not be surprising at all if aviation...

I believe this falls under “nothing in life is free”. Most countries force 2 year warranties and additional consumer protections. It is like a mini-AppleCare so many Europeans skip buying that. I am sure the lawmakers sold it as “companies will just provide extra coverage for free” like that is...

Firefox seems called out in the article as something the malware authors were looking for. Is that the vector? Or are Firefox cookies just not encrypted so it was easy to spoof auth for logged in sites? Or just Microsoft trolling? As redirects were mentioned heavily I would guess some were...

Well the post was deleted, but it amused me how Simpson noted kids eating bats starting a pandemic. Sad they didn’t predict AI.

I would call this an act of war against all the citizens of the planet. It is nothing less than attempted outright theft of every Apple owners (and let’s face it everyone else too) personal, financial, and medical information. This is the end of the slippery if you make a copy it doesn’t matter...

I see a lot of cat heating pad discussion but not tied to CES. I am hoping there is an AI update to the air purifier where it has a scale and heating pad built in so it only warms in use and tracks which cat is using when by weight and only warming when the scale notes in use with an app which...

Apple is master of the supply channel. They stopped making first gen HomePods for a bit and even took them off the store site until demand built for them to release the next version. I can see the same with Vision Pro.

You would need to redesign the internet from scratch to include personal identification. (Happy endgame for governments and law enforcement). The internet as it is now was fundamentally designed to work around any attempted block automatically. Even if you attempted to destroy every physical...
