That is HUUUGE. Handcrafting UI for these small OLED with e.g. U8glib (now U8G2) was always very fiddly. That tool looks promising.

Who doesnt know anything, has to believe everything

Very long, but crazy well made presentation of the topic. Facinating.

Wiki:

Siri was acquired by Apple Inc. in April 2010 under the direction of Steve Jobs. Siri’s original release on iPhone 4s on Oct 2011 received mixed reviews. It received praise for its voice recognition and contextual knowledge of user information, including calendar appointments, but was criticized for requiring stiff user commands and having a lack of flexibility. It was also criticized for lacking information on certain nearby places and for its inability to understand certain English accents. In 2016 and 2017, a number of media reports said that Siri lacked innovation, particularly against new competing voice assistants. The reports concerned Siri’s limited set of features, “bad” voice recognition, and undeveloped service integrations as causing trouble for Apple in the field of artificial intelligence and cloud-based services; the basis for the complaints reportedly due to stifled development, as caused by Apple’s prioritization of user privacy and executive power struggles within the company.[3] Its launch was also overshadowed by the death of Steve Jobs, which occurred one day after the launch.

Between the release 2011 until today, it was simmering and never developed. It is crazy how such a bad implementation was carried on by apple so long. Over 14 years of failed promises.

Weapon of Mass Distraction.

I can see how nobody blew the whistle, leave his cushy job, prepare for 3-5 years of juristical drama exposing your name and image only to spend the rest of your live living in check notes… Russia.

I bet his main viewership is American and that is why he makes the videos like this. If it were for his home turf it would contain way more slurs and accent.

TLDW: skipped through until 25:47: the rail doesnt lengthen it just extends to the tops and sides.

This could have been a 5 minute video. All that “Whooa”-Shots and leadup was not needed but is the American way of storytelling: Very talkative and getting amazed by every detail.

Black Death as a Viable Alternative for Cholera.

Is this rage bait? Those are different macbooks. I think the bottom ones are pros. My current Pro M2 has HDMI and magsafe. My M1 (Air?) is like the top one, but is not in fact a pro and therefore does not provide as many ports.

For me (europe) it is:

• 2,99 = 50GB
• 9,99 = 2TB

Everyone with a family or social life has between 20-200GB photos and videos. Notice how there is no plan for 5,99 = 1TB. You either do not back up everything and pay 3€, or you pay a tener per month to have a cloud storage that is always 50-70% empty but still have to pay for.

I will be the first to leave Apple iCloud if there is a viable solution that works like apples own OS integration without jumping through hoops and losing albums and meta data

legal tender

As far as I understood it in the last 20 years, it is only legal tender for debt facing the goverment. No private business has to accept cash. They do not have to accept cards either. If they wish, they could demand payments only in acorns or bottle caps if they wanted to. Only govermental Institutes (eg. for taxes, fines, etc.) have to always accept cash so you can always free yourself from outstanding debits without needing a bank account as bank wiring or credit cards are a private 3rd party business that can not be guaranteed for every citizen (as banks can arbitrary decline service to people).

L2 it’s one year old. A study like that takes time. What is your point? I bet if they would do it with L3 and the result came back similar, you would say L3 is „insanely outdaded“ as well?

Can you confirm that you think with L3, the result would look completely opposite and the summaries of the AI would always beat the human summaries? Because it sounds like you are implying that.

I somewhat disagree with the ingenious GUI in Star Trek. After decades, I still look at these Star Trek Interfaces and do not understand how they work, what the information hirachy is or what a buttons is or what is just passive Elements. I give him the benefit of science-fiction and my weak 20th century brain is not ready to understand 2290s graphical user interfaces but for me it is just artwork and I bet GUI in Starfleets in the future will not look like that at all. I love the GUI asthetics of more modern sci-fi movies where I can actually understand why there is a CTA, why there is a diagramm on how to navigate it. But the gap between what Okuda did and what we see on phones, tablets and the general web today are worlds apart. He did a somewhat great artwork, but was not able to give a realistic outlook on how human-machine interaction in the future will look like. It also aged poorly and still feels like the orange-chic of the 70s and did not made the asthetic upgrade that the ship design and costume design did in the series. That man might be a legend, but his understanding of GUI is somewhat weak in comparison with other sci-fi artist. And I take the foaming downvotes for that but it has to be said at least once on the internet.

TLDR: Moooneeey

“Yes I know the customer learned that product name and has a good connotation with it, but how about we change the name to something completely different?”

Disgusting. How was the merger of Facebook and Whatsapp allowed in the first place is beyond me. FB Messenger and WhatsApp are the most popular messenger services in the western world and are coming from the same company. The illusion of choice.
