Seems to be a warning for Macs without a built-in keyboard only. Getting it on my Mac mini but not my Air. Seems to be a good idea for that situation. Bet there are more casual users using bluetooth for keyboard/mouse/trackpad tha

Terrible onboarding: Why do I need to create an external account even before seeing what the app has to offer for me? Immediately uninstalled the app.

There is already the opposite situation: "available on iOS AppStore (except in EU)". And that might pop up more often in the future.

You can already "autofill" Firefox (and other) input fields with keychain data in Sonoma. Its a bit cumbersome, but right click into the field, select "autofill" from the context menu, then either "passwords" o

But I would only know about the result for my sales in some weeks or months. I have to trust the LLM in the meantime - and your example implies that the LLM answer could be proven wrong. How is that different from asking a complete stranger

EU regulations are very messy and DMA doesn't seem to be different. There are so many loop holes in the regulation that the "intention" and the effect are in part disjunct. See the GDPR and cookie laws: End users should have

Try creating a new user profile (keeping the old untouched). I had the same problems on my M1 MBA and assumed complex hardware or OS issues. But all problems are gone on the new profile (still existent on the old one when used). Strange. On

Why is it that LLMs are so often compared to employees and their responsibilities? In my opinion, it is an employee that actively USES the LLM as a tool and this employee (or his/her employer) is responsible for the results.

Hasn’t Google denied repair of Pixel watches still under warranty with cracked screens lately? Cited in the Verge: „… we don’t have any repair option for the Google Pixel Watch.“ [1] shouldn’t they improve their own RtR options before deman

Thanks. I'm still a bit confused about how many tokens for example your example video uses up. You draw the body and it generates a first iteration, then you draw the eyes and it seems there are two new generations, then some more for

Great project, congrats. Can you detail how tokens are used? Is that per generated version, per final (?) image, per time, export, size? Another feedback: I initially had the wrong impression that the left side was the "input" and

Much depends on the topics you cover and the target readers you want to reach. As others have noted, ePub is the standard for ebook publishing. But if you want to publish a printed edition as well in the future, your toolchain would have to

Apple wants their users to use iCloud storage. Transferring photos and video by cable is not the suggested way of usage for most iPhone users. Using iCloud sync, your photos and videos are already waiting for you on your Mac. At least, if e

In EU, WhatsApp, Telegram and Signal are way more popular. Lots of friends do own an iPhone, but seldom or never use iMessage. The first they do is installing WhatsApp. This is in part because WhatsApp had a head start in Europe and was cro

Doesn't Apple have this step already? I'm talking about the online store with optional pickup in your Apple Store. I've ordered online whenever I exactly know what I want. No sales talk, no waiting. Pickup in store was fast a

That would not necessarily ban AI generated content, only bad storytelling.

A physical key to your front door is a physical object and something you own - but you can still make copies of it. Someone else can even make a copy from a photo of the key. Google authenticator was (until recently) the only app I know tha

I'm wondering: How can I be certain that the model contains any personal data about me (or someone else not famous)? For a public figure, of course there is lots of information in the training data, all public data. But when asked abou

No. It is anchored in the right to be forgotten and the right to claim your stored PII data regarding the DSGVO to protect companies from being flooded by requests from a malicious actor or even a competitor. Without that, a company could t

Why are you discussing OpenAI with ChatGPT? I’m honestly interested. I would imagine that any answer of ChatGPT on that topic is either (a) „hallucinated“ and not based on any verifiable fact or (b) scripted in by OpenAI. The same question

You can blame a worker it something goes wrong and you trusted their result. But you can't go to YOUR boss and blame ChatGPT if YOU used the wrong prompt and trusted the result of the AI. Salary isn't for delivering an untrustwort

Stable Diffusion is trained on 2.3 billion images. It would take a human ~220 years to decide if an image should be included in the training set under the condition that a decision takes 1 second and the human works for 8 hours straight yea

Isn‘t it kind of ironic that we complain about ChatGPT not being „creative“ enough on a thread complaining it fakes academic papers? How can the same bot be limited to only produce „facts“ and at the same time would be useful to generate gr

What would be the information the oven can expose over thus a channel? How often I cook? How much energy I use for cooking? The oven will not even know if I'm at home or not if not used. I can't think of any critical spying done t

Not upgradable. But "minimum usable" all depends on usage - for a lot of users, 8GB / 256GB is sufficient, especially in office or education.

No. macOS is a tool. It might not be the best, but I get my work done with it. Linux (first question: what flavour?) would be a tool as well. Maybe more flexible - but it would need a lot of time and commitment to customise und familiarise

I don't have a citation, but a personal anecdote: When I was in charge for a website, an elderly woman contacted us and asked, if we could change the black text to a dark grey. She mentioned that the contest was too high, resulting for
