They’ll spend $5M to fight the $30K fine for this, I’m sure.

No, but stupidity is…

I thought it was a coating, like what they use to filter UV light. I have Theraspecs that do it, but those are sunglasses.

She was just upselling, not actually knowledgeable. They filter some blue spectrum, not the whole color blue.

Looks neat. I wonder if the mail proofread and rewrite will work anywhere other than in Mail or Safari, though. If so, it’'d give Outlook users a way better option than forking over $30/month for Microsoft’s extremely sluggish O365 Copilot. I don’t know if that’s any better on Windows, but the O365 Copilot experience on Mac slowed everything down, workflow-wise, when I tested it out a couple months ago. Click button, wait 30 seconds, repeat. Doing this stuff on-device will be great.

Gardener here, I think it’s too late.

It’s actually fake, though. IP phones “play” that. Also, when on a call, they insert "comfort noise, that very low hiss you may hear, to augment the odd feeling most get with crystal clear VOIP audio.

The whole Threshold series is great, especially the audiobook versions. Ray Porter narrates a lot of sci-fi audiobooks, and he’s always great.

Our profit margin demands you buy over-priced books from our shop

College material monopolies should be illegal, just like all other monopolies. Want to give students an education in the real world? Let the free market determine textbook prices.

They are replacing some of the sugar with it, not the fat. I’m a fan of both normal and the applesauce variants, but you need to understand the science behind the normal ingredients before you swap them out for others. Baking is science.

So the weird part is it does reliably trigger a failure if you ask directly, but not if you ask as a follow-up.

I first asked

Tell me about Asimov’s 3 laws of robotics

And then I followed up with

Are you bound by them

It didn’t trigger-fail on that.

That’s likely the plan, but they have to start with known-working hardware configurations first.

Are there any NGO’s that are supporting / helping relocate impacted Floridian immigrant workers to more friendly agriculture states like California? Florida is increasingly proving that the cruelty is the point.

There you go, giving us hope we don’t deserve.

Yeah, LOLing at this. He wouldn’t set foot in any country that participates in the ICC with an open international warrant out for his arrest. I think that whole thing is symbolic, though, since no host country is likely to risk open warfare with Russia by detaining their president, criminal charges notwithstanding.

The imaginary ones Fox News is always screaming about.

That wouldn’t be reliable to trace gun ownership history without the GOP-contested national gun registry. I’d even be for a “states’ rights” solution similar to how vehicle ownership is tracked via the Title with the state’s DMV. It will never be perfect, but “not perfect” shouldn’t be the blocker of “any action at all”.

Yeah my point is it does not protect the local device well. It does protect well from remote compromise though.

If I’m on my laptop, and the 2fa code shows on that same laptop, it defeats the purpose of it. The point is sortation of security privileges, ask this just adds more work while providing no less security to the device. It does protect you from remote compromise, though.

Yeah, Apple 2FA is infuriating, especially since you can do all factors from the same device. Kind of defeats the purpose of traditional 2FA/MFA. Also, companies that decide you 2FA experience has to use their app, instead of a standards-compliant TOTP app of your choosing…ugh.
