I just had an idea for a neat thing Apple could do.

Y’know the little tabs that pop up when you select text in iOS?

It’d be cool if the device learned which actions you tend to choose in a given situation.

So, if you choose “Translate” more often than, say, “Format,” they could make that a little easier for you.

This is an idea that I just had.

Unrelatedly related:

  1. Apple News+ is a cynical lobster trap that only exists to push shitty run-of-network ads for plantar fasciitis insoles and free money for seniors;

  2. The whole reason this occurred to me is I really wanted to show Madeline an article with an amazing photo.

You see? Women really CAN have it all.

But sometimes that means having some paint tubes on the floor your baby can play with with once they’re done being briefly intrigued by your right foot.

I am skeptical that this monitoring is accurate. (This is after a reboot.)

A screenshot of the macOS "weather" app with "San Francisco" and then two dashes being the only visible elements on a blank blue background.

Idea: print a bunch of these as huge stickers, go to the google campus parking lot, and stick it to the windshield of a bunch of parked cars.

This seems like both a personal cry for help and an indication that you work for a dangerously dysfunctional organization

The M2 MacBook Air is the greatest computer I’ve ever owned.

But seeing this every other day makes me want to throw it against a wall.

Started happening in 14.4.1. I can't wait for macOS 15 where I can ask an AI how many times I’ve crashed and lost work.

Thanks to @lauren pointing it out, I'm enjoying "The Andromeda Strain" again, (free on YouTube with ads). It's one of those peak 70s sci-fi films; everyone should watch. Very 70s, but also very hard sci-fi, both in the best ways.

And once you're done watching read: https://theasc.com/articles/the-andromeda-strain-may-1971 which is a great article about all the special care taken to make the movie.

This is a new one. “Atlas" (2024) promotional material.

This is a new one. The same greenscreen-draped set, thirteen seconds later becomes a grayscreen-draped set.

Did you know that you can drag the items around in that iMessage…thing?

A millennial like me who likes to share GIFs? Drag that above the fold!

For those who aren’t aware, Microsoft have decided to bake essentially an infostealer into base Windows OS and enable by default.

From the Microsoft FAQ: “Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."

Info is stored locally - but rather than something like Redline stealing your local browser password vault, now they can just steal the last 3 months of everything you’ve typed and viewed in one database.

Three Copilot+ Recall questions that keep coming up.

Q. Can you alter the Recall history?

A. Yes. You can change the OCR database and change the screenshots as the logged in user or as software running as the local user. There is no audit log of changes.

Q. Are they snapshots, as Microsoft says, or screenshots?

A. They are just screenshots, jpegs.

Q. What is to stop apps on your machine accessing your Recall covertly?
A. Nothing. There is no audit log of access.
