Sometimes I wonder if the airplane safety rules nudged decisions against changeable batteries in a hard case towards something in a flexible casing, that might leak before it overheats and ignites.?
This is totally tangential but I am curious if it is faster to totally backup let’s say a full terabyte of data with the the new M chip devices. It used to be overnight to 24 hours. It is something I might wish to do right before taking a Mac load iPhone in for repair.
"OpenAI is — according to multiple reports — not only looking to create its own personal computing devices, they’re considering partnering with Jony Ive and LoveFrom to do it. They’re setting themselves up to be frenemies with Apple before the first partnership is even announced."
Google went down this "frenemies" path before Android existed. Interesting take on OpenAI as the new frenemy. I buy it.
(Today's anti-favorite: if the phone loses reception for even a moment — common on trains! — it disconnects tethering and never reconnects. You're just offline until you notice. Then you need to reconnect from the Mac's Wi-Fi menu again, after waiting for the option to become available, a process that's almost as slow as dialing up your ISP with a modem in the 1900s.)
@marcoarment eh, my carrier won’t even allow use of phone cell signal as wifi hot spot. I think it’s even cheaper to get a standalone hot spot from them.
A few interesting aspects around Mercedes Benz level 3.
It only works up to forty miles per hour.
Turquoise safety lights to let human drivers know.
Benz HQ is around Atlanta, a famously traffic dense area, and many areas with more Mercedes owners are probably Urban with a higher level of distracting mind numbing traffic congestion.
If traffic suddenly allows for faster than forty mph does an alarm alert the driver.
I’m not certain the thread is providing enough info (for me) about exactly what might be happening or how widespread it is. Large files? Files brought over from elsewhere? iCloud conflict? I just find it concerning and a bit under the radar for someone considering a one terabyte model. Especially with how much that Terabyte costs. External storage an option?
@davemark these have been around for awhile with different ways of showing the web of connections, but the most remarkable thing about them is how they seem to ‘vanish’. As if they were posted as a proof of concept, perhaps as a way to grab some backend popularity data, and then… gone for years.
Great to see one surface again. I’m wondering how it is going to display its results? Going to go see.
@hotdogsladies We were just old enough to drive to the movies on our own. We saw this unexpected as a coming attraction trailer. There was no press warning besides this. When we left the theatre there were flyers for the film on our windshields. Did we decide right there and then we were coming to see it the next weekend as it opened?
