Safari on iOS has a massive bug that randomly opens a different profile or anonymous mode on app launch. I switch to a tab in a specific profile, swipe Safari away, and when I open it again, a different tab in a different profile is opened.
This happened to me multiple times already.
Now I don’t want to open Safari at all because it opened porn while I was on a bus. About four times already.
So Microsoft is shipping a new feature in Windows 11 called Recall, which takes screenshots of what the user is doing every few seconds, and then feeds it into OCR.
And I've read a number of people describe it as useless.
But I disagree.
I'm sure plenty of people will find it very handy.
For example, your friendly local law enforcement agents and prosecutors are likely to find a feature like this very useful.
As will the NSA, the other three-letter agencies in the US, and intelligence agencies around the world.
Including the ones in authoritarian states. A couple of back doors, and it will be so much easier keeping track of who's been typing naughty words like "Prigozhin", "Navalny", or "free Hong Kong".
Not in the state surveillance business? No worries!
Assuming this data isn't locked down properly — and we are talking about Microsoft here — it's sure to find plenty of more mundane uses.
Perhaps for bosses who will no longer need to install keyloggers to snoop on their staff.
Or jealous current and former partners.
Mark my words, this poorly-thought-through attempt to shove LLMs in another place they don't belong to temporarily spike Microsoft's share price will find its uses.
And the next computer I get definitely won't be running Windows.
"When a 23-year-old Sam Altman took the stage at Apple Inc.’s annual developer conference in 2008, he gushed about being able to use the company’s new App Store to promote his software, a friend-locating service called Loopt."
That's OpenAI's Sam Altman. He spoke at WWDC in 2008? That's incredible.
And now he's back. 2008 was the year of the App Store (and some brutal NDAs).
Apple about to include ChatGPT and Gemini in iOS 18, against concerns of some executives.
> [Apple] Executives are said to have had concerns about reputational damage from a "rogue chatbot," while some people within Apple are even said to have a "philosophical aversion" to having a chatbot integrated into Apple software.
Tim Cook will do it anyway to make stakeholders happy.
Gabe at #Valve had already discovered Windows being a nightmare many, many years sooner and decided it was ridiculous to allow their eggs to solely be put into that basket - and so they spent a ton of money and resources in the following years developing #Proton so all#games on #Steam could be played on #Linux rather than just Windows.
Tim Sweeney however has been given the option to give the greenlight to allowing their (first-party) games, with anti-cheat, to be run on Linux using Proton, and decided not to. He's been spoonfed a solution at no cost, and refused it. I may agree with his recent sentiments against Microsoft and even #Apple, but make no mistake - the fella's an idiot.
I'm trying out #Apple Music. I love the UI and how it feels very much like Apple but it still integrates very well with Windows 11's theme. Unfortunately, I miss the multi-device control from #Spotify. I just wanna lie down on my bed while blasting Lady Gaga out of my computer's speaker while also being able to skip to the next song without getting up. Does Apple Music have that?
Oh wow. I just disabled Bartender and look which icon was hidden pretty conveniently by it…
This always pops up when an app records the screen. It was always visible for other apps, but disappeared sometimes for a short amount of time, what I thought was a macOS bug.
Seems like Bartender was able to hide this icon, when it was creating the screen recording itself? I'm pretty concerned right now and will definitely remove it immediately.
#Apple#MacBook nerds. Does anyone know how to take a screenshot of an entire site page? I want to take a full screenshot of this copyright class and keep it. But not bit by bit. The entire thing.
I know the #iPhone used to let us do that. Is this still a thing? Please send help, thank you.
