You can get a Mac Mini for $600 with 16GB of RAM and it will be more powerful than the "PC in every home" people would need for any common software.

The personal computing situation is great right now. RAM is temporarily more expensive, but it's definitely not ending any eras.

Not Apple’s ram.

Can confirm. My M3 Ultra tops out at 210W when ComfyUI or ollama is running flat out. Confirmed via smart plug.

A high school classmate of mine (many many years ago) was unexpectedly and brazenly pulled out of a school-wide assembly by local police one morning.

It was the talk of the school. Rumors spread like wildfire. Consensus was that whatever she did, it must have been terrible.

She had driven past a stopped school bus.

If this reaction is acceptable when a person does it, a $1 fine for a company is a slap in the face to law-abiding citizens.

Further, iPhones are so bad if you exist anywhere outside the mainstream and language orthodoxy.

Their voice recognition stubbornly refuses to acknowledge Linux, instead transcribing Linux.

Typing "tboy" or "transfem", common terms in the trans community, gets changed to "toby" or "transfer". I can understand "toby", but the latter is especially bad, as the "r" and "m" keys are nowhere near each other. I'll type these words several times a day, every day, and it'll never get recorded. But one typo of the form "unbeleivalbe" gets permanently etched into the autocorrection.

Any intentionally unorthodox english gets invisibly censored and editorialized. You can say "here come dat boi" nowadays (which is good if you're a fan of 2016 memes) but not "wrasslin". Phrases like "what you doin today" has its tone and informality stripped when it's changed to "what are you doing today".

…and when I type standard, but clique-centric, abbreviations and slang among my own groups, the iPhone messes those up, too.

Options also exist to pre-populate the predictive wordlists with our own terms, and to turn off predictive text altogether.

... and in the process we will deteriorate the performance of millions of users and hurt our brand as a top class experience company?

Don't really care who is to blame, but they should have identified this, and either warn developers, or warn users. Or provide a tool for identifying guilty apps in your machine, and let users decide how to proceed.

And they did both, so…?

The point of this story is that open source can't protect you against a bully with a legal department at his command, and neither can it protect you against bad contract clauses. Frivolous legal threats may be frivolous, but you have to prove that in court and a lot of companies would rather take the easier way out to avoid having to do that.

The "FOSS" company never directly threatened the author, but the implication of it alone was enough to scare off both agencies. Given a lot of the tech is mixed up here on purpose, there's a few FOSS companies & vendors I can think of with legal departments that I'd describe as "pretty aggressive" and "expensive for a managed solution" that aren't solely about Exchange related services but would definitely behave like this, given their PR over the years at times has had slipped masks.

The point is that without the identifying information it might as well be a creative writing exercise.

Good anecdotes have power because they actually happened and are verifiable to some degree. This is neither.

What’s the point of not naming names? This could easily be just a creative writing exercise.

AFAICT, Chrome and Firefox on iOS are still just WebKit wrappers. I’d love for that to change though, WebKit in iOS sucks in quite a few ways.

such as? I consider myself a power user and I've never run into anything I couldn't handle or get around. Genuinely curious.

The article’s first narrative revolves around a phone being held captive in a police station for days because the station was closed for the weekend?

What kind of police station maintains business hours?

These are my favorite two DENY rules on my PiHole blacklist:

(\.|^)apple\.com$

(\.|^)icloud\.com$

Also, set your Mac's `do not disturb` feature to turn on at 3:01AM, off at 3:00AM == no more notifications

You can then download OS updates directly from Apple's CDN via https://mrmacintosh.com/

This might work for you, but doing this to an untrained, unexpecting, or visiting Apple user on your LAN will make their Apple device experience 1,000x worse.
