I’m sticking with the 13 Mini as long as possible. iOS 25 public beta is probably faster than 26 on it.

Mine is still attached to the network, but I’ve turned off all the ad/customisation &AI stuff. Seems to work fine, no ads etc. though usually I’m using it simply as a screen for the AppleTV. I do have it isolated from other devices

Big studios will love this They’ll come across some talented little band playing some nice new tune in a tiny club, record it on their phone and give it to one of the existing boy-bands to play. No need to sign up aspiring artists any more

I found the piece interesting, once I worked out what it was about. I strongly disagree that taking time to spell out acronyms should be taken as a signal that an article is low level.

I have a particular antipathy for articles too lazy to spell out acronyms on first use. So: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrieval-augmented_generation

A root cause investigation that concludes 'the system as a whole is fragile and poorly designed' sounds highly valuable - and they do happenl; I've seen them in healthcare

The final paragraph of the article > According to NextEra Energy, Unit 1 at St. Lucie is back online at 100% power after operators safely resolved an equipment issue. I wish the article had said where on earth St Lucie is. Never heard of

I’ve never found them user hostile. They just sell appliances that do a thing. If you don’t want that thing don’t buy it. If you do want that thing, it dies it pretty well. I don’t have an iPad. My wife uses her, a lot.
