@Luke HOLY WTF?? Is this some long-buried page from the dark corners of Apple? And custom RSS feeds for music? Does that still work, or is this all pre-Apple Music. Gonna need to wire some of this up to Reeder and see if it spins.
@stux i'm from the intel gang but i would like to help you. there is a distro called asahi but probably works without gpu hardware accelation. also x86 apps on arm linux runs with box86/64.
To those reviewers of #VisionPro complaining "Why would a father hide himself behind a set of goggles at his kid's birthday party? They should spend that time w/their kids, not with their face hidden."
I say: You must be young...you don't remember your parent hiding behind a behemoth of a VHS camera the size of a small suitcase.
They're too used to holding an #iPhone at shoulder height - face in full view.
Some of us remember. And we lived through it as kids. We're fine. Unscarred.
#Google glass. Niet geworden. #Hololens gaaf. Maar haalt het in #onderwijs ook niet. Nu de #Apple bril. Kortom veel geld. Gemiddeld 3500 euro voor speeltje die het niet haalt.
@wenslauw@NiemPseu wij waren Ipad school maar merkte dat van vierde leerlingen vaker eigen laptop meenamen(veel typ werk) Nu zijn we byod en hebben we 90/10 windows en Mac door deschool heen. Enkele een ipad. Alles draait op Microsoft 365 bij ons
@redegelde@NiemPseu Ik hoop dat IT in de klas iets toevoegt, want de jonge IT'ers die wij binnen krijgen, hebben bijzonder weinig kennis van het gebruik van computers.
Hitting rock bottom on my search for #macOS and #iOS bookmark management apps. I’d like to get off #Pinboard and #Pocket, but the options I’ve tried either have broken import functionality or perform poorly with tens of thousands of bookmarks.
I follow a lot of #Apple pundits/news sources, and I read a lot about #cfb and I don’t know how I haven’t seen the former remark on the #pac12 blowing up in light of Apple’s offer. I saw stories on the offer itself, but even if this was caused by many other factors, I still think it reflects poorly on Apple in some way.
@ehler it’s all deeply stupid to do all this travel for the sport that has the fewest games (and the most players). I’ve all but lost my patience for college football.
New one for me #wacom#apple#ventura You can't simply install Wacom tablet drivers on Ventura. The Apple’s setting will have a fit and get you to allow permissions in settings. But they are already on. To get them to work, you have to delete them from the list!
They’ll ask to get back in and then they’ll work.
@kevinteljeur it was kind of forced as the latest software isn't running on older systems - Photoshop auto updated and told me it wouldn't work fully on the older os. Nice.
"The vulnerability can be exploited when the targeted cryptographic operation and the malicious application with normal user system privileges run on the same CPU cluster."
@WorMP3 I think you got the numbering wrong. Companies make walled gardens 1. to keep competition out, 2. to dictate prices (like tte mandatory 30% surcharge) and and only at priority 3. to shape their garden in a way it stands out (e.g. "we are more secure").
That Android had a worse security track record is IMHO parially a result of a "less perfect" walled garden. The many Android phone and tablet vendors (surely over 500 at one time) could throw devices out and then simply not provide updates. Where a company does this for a period of time (e.g. Google Pixel, but also some Samsungs), you don't hear as much about security issues.
The other reason of Androids inferior security track record is its braindead architecture. Only GUI apps are packaged. But if one finds an error in e.g. SurfaceFlinger, one needs to build (and test ... expensive!!!) a complete new image. Contrast this with Linux distros, where EVERYTHING is a package. And where you can at any time update a single package... resulting in a very good security track record. And Android OS designers threw all of that knowledge away, and this showed for years.
Can I write an Android software that integrates with the iPhone messaging app? Nope. Even if some genius after many years managed that eventually, Apple was quick to make this impossible again.
Integration isn't that you can download apps designed for their walled garden. It's not about people that pay the mandadory developer fee, write apps for the walled garden and hope that they get their spp past the censor (e.g. if they want a JavaScript or Lua script, or some "donate to me" button using IBAN and BIC).
Integration is that protocols are open (like IRC's or Mastodon's) and anyone, even on a different base platform (Linux, BZD, Windows, Lisp machines like Emacs and whatnot) can implement a software that talks to them. Even eith interpreters bundled.
@davemark When the M1 MacBook Air was released, I bought the base model with 8 GB of ram. I don’t do any processor intensive work, but it was more than sufficient for everything. I have 16 GB in my M1 iMac, and I’ve never felt that I needed more. Well I disagree with 8 GB in a “pro“ laptop, I think average users can get by with that amount.
@davemark More anecdata: I was desperate for an upgrade as my 7 yo MBP was struggling with my professional creative work. On a budget, I grabbed a base config M1 mini from Costco. I used it for professional graphic design (Adobe suite) for more than a year. It was fine. I was holding out for an M2 MBP which replaced it, but it was plenty capable. Most people don’t need >8gb memory now (we’ll see what the future brings).
Apple’s "commitment to privacy" is much more a commitment to walled gardens and Apple’s bottom line, rather than the privacy of Apple’s users. and their attack on Beeper is proof of this, Beeper which simply brings full iMessage compatibility to Android is being attacked and sued by apple.
@DadeMurphy@Theeo123 if anything as a former Pebble user, I am more amazed that after all these years Migicovsky is still naive enough to launch a product like beeper and not fully consider that Apple would retaliate against how their protocols and services would be used.
@davemark Yea, but are these just stunts or people looking for likes or responses on their social network feeds? Take this photo for example, what specific app on the Vision pro would make it useful to wear your VisionPro while eating? #apple#VisionPro
@davemark@Danathar Spend some time around teens and this type of social interaction is already here. Kids sit at the same table and FaceTime each other and bring friends in who aren’t with them at the restaurant or coffee shop so they can all talk. The thought of my kids’ generation sitting around a table without tech as part of the experience seems to be fading fast. They’re already seeing a chunk of the world through the iPhones so this won’t feel like a huge leap to them (except $ to get it)
@davemark FWIW, ESPN no longer tells you where the game is being broadcast or streaming if it’s not on ABC or an ESPN channel. I believe CBS Sports is better about that, but I deleted the app because it doesn’t default to showing scores.
What the Apple app is truly missing (besides a lot more sports and leagues and teams) is alerts/notifications. I mostly use Sports Alerts for that; I use The Score for looking for scores. Sports Alerts on my watch - it’s the only good one.
@davemark well, to be honest we’re talking about 12/14 years old Apple TVs which don’t even use tvOS and don’t have the App Store, and Netflix was a pre installed app.
So I like my Movies and TV Shows, but don't like owning the physical versions due to scratching and having to store the discs. Is it good to purchase all my movies and shows I watch on Apple TV / iTunes Movies?...
I have had a base model M1 Air ever since it came out. It’s been great, but the battery is pretty bad at the moment (around 77% at best). Also, because it’s only the 8GB model, I’m starting to notice some slowdowns.
Do you think it would be worth it to invest in the new M3 Air? I’m planning to get the 16 or 24GB model this time.
I don’t want a Pro because it’s too big, and refurbished isn’t an option either (no refurbished store).
@davidbures I haven't noticed any significant performance improvements in terms of CPU.
Power consumption has been like night and day though. I get noticeably more battery life than I ever did on my M1 to the point where I don't think I've used my travel charger once.
