The new Apple Watch is always recording and transcribing everything it hears

Do tech companies ever stop to think about the misery they unleash on people’s lives? The Apple Watch Series 12 uses “Audio Intelligence” that, as well as secretly taking notes, also has a Live Rewind feature that can replay the last 15 seconds of recently detected audio and view a text

I hear Apple release a device to watch IMAX movies in original aspect ratio. #Apple #iPhoneDuo

Dear Apple,

It took you 7 years to develop a foldable. According to several industry insiders you were working hard on a creasless inner display, using a liquid metal alloy for the hinge.

So, what the hell is this? What happened to your high ambitions?

I don't think there will be any suprises with all these leaks months in advance. However I am curious how John Ternus will do in his first event as CEO.

Who else is ready for the #AppleEvent ?

I am really stoked about this new concept laptop from Lenovo, that uses Frore’s AirJet Mini fanless air-cooling technology.

👉🏻https://www.froresystems.com

I'd love to have this technology in the Macbook Air M7/M8 around 2028. Still as sleek and light as the current Air, but with the thermal performance of a Macbook Pro.

I don't like doing this. It ruins my day no matter how hard I throw myself into constructive activities afterwards, baking or learning how to navigate BSD or whatever. But how else can one break through the armor?

The techbros have been working on this narrative for so long, they actually believe it now. They still think of themselves as a liberatory force even as they thirst for police and military contracts and cozying up to politicians. They think that evil #Apple #1984 ad is somehow REAL and not a dystopian corruption and coöption of George Orwell for no better reason than spicing up sales for a friggin' personal computer.

The Apple corporation is not a hero of any story but their own.

If companies like #Google and #Apple are so easily "persuaded" to change the bullshit renames #Trump does...

..how easy do you think they will turn over personal data on us?

Big Tech CANNOT be trusted, that's the unfortunate reality we live in and always have

I find it annoying that #Apple insists on a connected mouse to even enter the boot recovery process on a mac

Of course, now I understand its due to them dropping even minimal affordance for keyboard navigation

If the Apple mac recovery process prompts for a username and password you can TAB forward from the username to password field, but cannot SHIFT+TAB backwards

God help anyone with a disability which requires use of keyboard navigation, because Apple sure as hell won't

I had the misfortune to run out of space on a 240GB mac-mini. macOS was only using 25GB... plus 150GB of "System Data"

I literally had to copy all my files off and delete my account to get enough space to run the macOS update, but that still left 130GB of "System Data" usage

Tried a re-install (without wipe). No change

Currently waiting on a wipe-and-reinstall to finish

This is a $work machine, so it is going back and they will need to provide a usable machine

Seriously #Apple . W.T.F.

Were Touch Bar’s problems software rather than hardware?

The Touch Bar arrived in 2016 seemingly already pre-doomed, on a generation of machines that had a “we’ve run out of ideas” smell all around them. The arrow keys were reshaped, the keyboard got a slimming down, and even the beloved MagSafe wasn’t, in fact, safe. All of these changes would prove unpopular and get reverted in t

Hey politicians, instead of age gating the internet and fucking up all our privacy, can you do something useful such as ban all promotional use within push notifications? I don't even want push notifications telling me about a new feature within the app, that's what release notes are for. I just got a Hoopla push notification that was telling me they have a lot of titles I can watch, but it was in the style of a generic promotional ad. Just no. I am guessing Android users have to put up with this bullshit too? Same with Netflix. I don't want a push notification telling me I haven't watched in a while. Fuck off. And fuck you if you are a developer and you do this. If you do this, you deserve to be pirated, that is how much I hate this practice. #Apple #Android

Long shot: Anyone in my circles in #Australia looking to get rid of a working #Apple Mac old enough to have a hardware ADB port (the old-style, 4-pin, round keyboard and mouse plug)? Condition doesn't matter, if it powers on I'm keen on it. A Powerbook 300 with a cracked screen and a dead battery would work for my purposes.

I know USB to ADB adapters exist, my plan is to do stuff with ADB-attached joysticks and gamepads with proprietary drivers that won't work with USB adapters.

I am pretty stoked about the upcoming redesigned iPad Mini. The OLED screen and the rumoured chip update: A20 Pro with 12 GB RAM could make it a worthwhile upgrade to my iPad Pro M2.

The estimated single core performance of the A20 Pro will improve around 60% over the M2, making it a worthy upgrade for my music applications.

Let's hope Apple won't raise the prices of the Mini again.
