I love the origins GTA

This is awesome but I wish there was a boost or have this be 5x faster, like “killfrenzy” from forever ago

People on forums will complain about everything!

I learn this each time Apple releases a product. New iPhones could be $500, 10x the speed, half the weight and full week battery life and a fringe loud group will post and upvote some dumb complaint.

Specifically, Article 6(7) of the EU's Digital Markets Act, which forces Apple to give competing companies access to the same hardware and software capabilities it uses itself.

The EU's interpretation means Apple must provide third-party AI assistants with access comparable to Siri's, potentially including the ability to interact with messages, files, purchases and other apps.

Apple proposed a secure intermediary called Trusted System Agent and an 18-month implementation plan. The European Commission rejected those proposals.

I just bought an iPad Pro in Canada

It was $2800 with tax and a keyboard!

Nothing wrong with iPads They are just expensive

This is $350 in Canada. Literally free compared to everything else Apple sells!

At $299 they’ll sell millions of these in no time

The Apple TV is the same price

iPhones and iPads are so expensive these days that this feels like a steal

I’m buying one for my parents and one for my in-laws for Christmas. Easy $300 gift that I know they won’t have.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who will have that idea

Maybe Apple just doesn't care to put up with the silly EU rules.

Any proof of 100x spend? That seems a bit excessive

New comment by r0fl in "Show HN: I built a calendar where each event has its own tasks"

Cool idea I've been toying with the idea of a better calendar and vibe coded a few different ones for myself

Recently I realized that scheduled ChatGPT connected to my calendar and an inbox is better than anything else I could ever build or anything that is out on the market.

It knows my schedule, it knows if anything has come up via email that should change my schedule and tells me and I email myself anything that comes to mind and it schedules it in an optimized manner and automatically reschedules based on if I did that thing or not.

I'm excited to see what DOTS brings to the table.

The large LLMs will swallow up all these calendar microsaas ideas imo.

You should book a flight to Iceland and see them in person. It’s a great place to visit!

Take the adventure, life is short!

The data shows that people want to consume video content on their phones So bigger screens are better

That is it. Nothing else.

5 different people messaged me today saying they are pre ordering a duo

None of those people have ever messaged me about any other phone event ever

Only duo thousand dollars

Great branding by the new CEO

That was my same thought! Brands I have never heard of that can't make a call, send messages or add a reminder popping up like they invented sliced bread.

We get it, some people don't want to charge a watch even though they have to regularly charge their phone, headphones, laptop and maybe car. Such a weird flex that a watch lasts an extra few days, who cares?! Charge it while you shower and you're good to go

Coros cannot reply to imessages, cannot add to reminders, cannot add to calendar, cannot place a call from the watch

Yeah, sounds amazing /s

If the app is good the app is good. End of discussion

Why do you care how it was made? What’s next? It matters what country or city the developer is from or ahah language it’s written in or what machines were used or how the electric was sourced

Who cares!

I’ve been an antigravity user since day one. It’s been great when I hit usage limits.

I’ve uninstalled it and will never again use a Google ai product since my Gmail account is simply too important to lose. I don’t care if it’s 10x better and 10x cheaper , these kind of terms are insane!
