What's the deal with all the new accounts posting on this submission?

The year is 2030. Content's been blocked by age verification and overreach, but the ads still remain.

New comment by kmfrk in "WWDC 2026: Apple is Folding"

kmfrk — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 17:40:19 +0000

A lot of the iPhone design decisions have generally had the nature of something I didn't like that some market research must have shown to be in demand. And so the iPhones have kept getting bigger, even though I've held on to my 4, 5S, and SE's for dear life.

People seem to want them, so Apple end up selling them. We're probably in the minority, and I can't fault Apple for not turning down the money.

Although I do wonder how the hell cases and screen protectors work for foldables.

Even worse when you're on Windows. What's the point of the cloud if it only works halfway decently on Mac.

Makes me feel like an idiot for doing something as outlandish as paying artists for their music.

The scale of deepfakes in Korea is horrifying: https://www.securityhero.io/state-of-deepfakes/#targeted-ind....

And in 2024, someone made a viral map with reports of deepfakes in schools: https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/southkorea/society/20240830/dee....

It's very similar to age verification where there's a genuinely horrible problem that we're getting a terrible solution to by people who seemingly don't understand the internet. And the finger on the monkey's paw curls.

Intel's Arc dGPUs were really compelling for dedicated AV1 encode and decode, especially the small form factor of some cards. You could even fit it as a secondary card in a PC dedicated to recording and encode workflows for OBS.

Hope we get a similar option with future lineups that support AV2, especially given how popular video creation and streaming are now.

That's basically C2PA: https://c2pa.org.

I'm not super optimistic about it, and last I saw, Apple wasn't a part of it either.

kmfrk — Tue, 26 May 2026 19:22:09 +0000

As tired as I am of the lack of improvement in Dropbox and the most of my nag-mails being warnings about my inactive Dropbox storage reaching "dangerous lows", I can't help be frustrated at how much the equivalent virtual drives from Apple and Microsoft suck, even today.

Thought I'd submit this from a few days ago since some people who didn't update are seeing "John Sim" admin users being added.

Make sure to keep your UniFi up to date folks.

Everyone's tired of hearing about Kagi, and the good news is that they have a free trial now so you can just see for yourself instead of reading comments after comments about it: https://kagi.com/signup?plan_id=trial.

I wonder when things get so bad that we end up filtering content made by accounts created before the release of ChatGPT.

GitHub too for their releases; you just add /atom to get the feed, which works great.

Looking forward to putting every apology statement into this - although many of them tend to require OCR for being posted as images or screenshots.
