I've resorted to buying refurb HDD's for my NAS (which I backup to rsync.net) but like damn!

I'm not excited for iOS 27. I tried out the beta and decided to reset my phone to get my back to iOS 26. I find the new Siri is far worse and slower to respond, if that's even possible. It also adds new features that are hard to remove. I only use it for timers and playing music and the current Siri is just fine for that imo.

The idea of someone forking Java with vibe code nonsense and expecting them to be able to maintain is laughable.

This is good. I'm pretty sure Flock cameras have been used more often to stalk cops' exes than solving any crime.

Is it actually safer? If you can't understand the code you can't verify it's safety, and AI code often has bugs in it. You can't trust implicitly.

How would 100% non-human code possibly be safer?

Oh wow that's the same projector I have. Would be really cool to install a custom build on it, but for now I just have an Apple TV connected to it.

Just another example of using AI as the solution when the real solution is obvious and here.

Well no shit obviously. Just cause you tell the random text generator to follow some rules doesn't mean it will.

Isn't Anthrophic's "recent turn to profitability" just one specific quarter according to non-GAAP practices? How real is that?

And people said that Apple was going to get left behind by not going full throttle on AI. Seems like they took the right approach
