also completely ruins one-off contact changes to make like "dumbass" or "satisfactory small woman" or whatever show in blue for the recipient..

one of the silliest macos behaviors is whenever i edit the contact for someone i talk with a lot on imessage, it freezes the app with 100% cpu for like minutes?

like is it updating every message with their new details or something?? is there not just a global contact field for the whole chat???

@9to5Mac upgrading from the iphone n to the iphone n+1 hasn't been worthwhile or even especially tempting since like 2010

completely missed this earlier, the "keiki paste" had also triggered it to make another set of flowers and one of them

anyways don't buy these, they're arguably apple's worst laptop of the last couple decades and the 11" is much cuter, better, faster, stronger etc

i mailed this thing to my friend in february but it got eaten by her country's customs and then i got another one last month and am about to repeat the same actions hoping for a different outcome

why does the iphone 7 have chips called homer and maggie

finally checked out some other stuff from this author (Linnea Sterte), she's so cool, idk why i didn't sooner??

@nina_kali_nina as much as i wouldn't mind it happening, it's.. not the first company that comes to mind with "AI bubble"? why meta specifically?

they're mainly an ad company and have had enormous user bases on facebook, instagram, whatsapp, etc., since years before the current AI hype

@stroughtonsmith waow, works in reverse on tahoe too, lol. nice find

@kqct i hope it will be in the foreseeable future?

@nora ohh that's a relief. i loved the originals but heard highly mixed things about the sequel trilogy and was procrastinating starting them

thank you again to the apple cve generator known as storagekitd

my eyes teared up spontaneously (bc allergies or whatever) and it tricked me into feeling sad for a moment until i realized i was being tricked

took apart my friend's compaq armada 1700 (1998 laptop) yesterday, super impressed bc all screws are t8 torx of the same length, fully interchangeable.

never seen it before, i don't think even framework is doing that yet? i love it

@verge it's never been clear to me why a hardware company is "behind" if they don't have an in-house AI model. however good LLMs get, you'll need a phone or laptop to use them.. building those devices seems like a pretty safe and profitable position
