No, that’s quite literally the reason that Apple is so big. They successfully made MP3’s easy to get from CD, add to device and play. , I owned an early MP3 player, and ripping mp3s from CD and loading sucked compared to the first iPod/iTunes. Of course, over time it got better on the PC side, but it was trivial to teach somebody like your parents how to get their music on an iPod.

It’s why Slashdot still gets mocked for their iPod review. While there were other MP3 players that had more storage or battery life, the cohesiveness of iPod/iTunes was unmatched, and that’s why few remember the nomad but every one remembers the iPod

Unsure what NOYB is, even after skimming this, but an interesting bit in there about how people wouldn’t have the right to be forgotten once the AI has been trained.

Looking for iOS recommendations, preferably without a subscription that can read epub/pdf

I was honestly hoping that’s where phones would go - watch for calls and standard phone stuff, tablet for anything big. Now I think there’s a place for glasses instead, and def for all the various things we do when standing around bored

OpenAI would loooooove that kind of info https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1dr6neg766o

Or, Google would be the one blocked by the new owner (who would have all the info that Google would’ve in the past ) not the one blocking.

I wonder if it has anything to do with them possibly having to sell off Chrome

Facepalm. Yeah. Him.

No relation to Chris Brian Krebs the security nerd. (Seems obvious, but I gotta get some dopamine^w upvotes today)

I would quite honestly be surprised, they have been vocal in the past about having no such thing.

Thank you for that, that’s hysterical! And I wouldn’t have caught on with the handshake. They need him as a guest on the Katering Show!

It’s Red Green’s cousin from down under! Where’s Harold?!

An interesting/useful article, if only because I was unaware of the Mac equivalence of Launchy (Linear, Superhuman,etc). The biggest problem is that a Conversational interface could excel at certain tasks, but just using it Willy-Nilly is asking for disappointment, plus the voice recognition still needs to get better, especially with context clues, which would require more integration (watching whatever you’re watching, hearing whatever you’re hearing, what page are you looking at, etc. )

But if you’re in front of a keyboard, then directing the computer to do something has got to require less context switching then just bringing up on the keyboard. Even if it’s only 60 words a minute, if all you’re doing is typing in a handful of strokes, then it’s probably faster than coming up with all the keywords necessary to tell the computer to do it.

That…makes a horrible amount of sense.

PARTS of AI have been far from auto-corrupt for years. This autocomplete and LLM stuff is far newer.

WHAT?!
