Anecdotally it seems like a lot of people go to whatever LLM they have access to and ask it what to do. Surely the next frontier of advertising products is directly injecting recommendations into the response from the LLM. Or at least make the answer incorporate products and services somehow, similar to how influencers do paid content in a seamless way alongside their main content.

There really doesn't seem to be much here that's worthwhile? I'd love it if someone made a better macOS settings app, the current one feels like it's made to be used on an ipad or touchscreen device.

Came here to say the same thing

Fun website. How did you build it?

Glypha! I used to play that as a kid, I'm excited to check it out again.

Oh wow, I never heard of this before! A quick experiment searching for a few things and I'm impressed.

I think we are in a golden age of games personally. You can argue prices of new games have gone up, or have got worse, or whatever. And that may be true, but there are many many thousands of great games released over the last few decades that are great. Board games don't necessarily get better with new releases, the technology largely remains the same.

Not great

I always thought the US was about freedom of choice but this appears to be against freedoms in general. The people voting for this must love being told what to do?

I have to agree. Lately (maybe year or so) it seems that researching anything that isn't clearly linked to some kind of product or service is difficult on Google.

It occurs to me that it could partly be that the "free and open" internet seems to be dying. For example, Discord or Slack are often used to replace message boards but that means they are no longer indexed and searchable. There are many examples like this right?

The old free hosted sites are dying off or provide no monetary value to Google. So even if they still exist, why bother indexing them.

This has nothing to back it up of course, just musings.

I already have these issues on my 2019 MacBook Pro. Presumably it's the OS rather than the hardware but who knows

Except Apple keeps their hardware locked in the Apple ecosystem, but anyhow can buy AMD or Intel

I had access to computers when I was young, but mostly sans gaming. In fact, once I wiped a work computer of my dad's somehow. Eventually I got SimCity 2000 on our old Mac and that was incredible. These old computers were tools to experiment and have fun with, rather than the entertainment devices we have today.

Unfortunately they won't even turn on so this won't work.

Good question. I can only guess at maybe usb-c devices being connected? That would be external monitors via a USB-C dock, and so on. Otherwise I have no idea why.

The latest update bricked many laptops at work. Like no boot, no sad Mac, get a new laptop situation. We are at the point where people joke they are flipping a coin on whether the next update from Apple will brick their laptop or not.

For me, the macOS ecosystem is no longer reliable enough as a daily driver.

And had a virus that transmitted to humans via the metaverse. Very apt for Facebook to choose this actually

Na fa la na ma na ma ba pa to wo ha...

Everyone in the world except maybe the USA. I read it and just.. facepalm.

Is this automation of the Search Stack overflow, copy, and paste workflow?

You can download an app from the App Store called a "browser". This browser lets you access anything on the world wide web. There's explicit content on the web. Therefore you must remove browsers from the App Store.

Bottled water should be banned, even if just for the amount of plastic waste it generates. There's also research that shows the water can be contaminated with high levels of microplastics. Research on microplastics is fairly new but you can research that for yourself.

I dislike it immensely, mainly because it changes all the time and this makes ot hard to use worhout looking at it every single time. The best way is to use an external keyboard.

I don't understand why you need to have a watch to tell you how you feel.

Any idea of this could run Snow Leopard?

Games that keep giving patches and content after that long are something special! Clan Lord is another game that is over 30 years old and still gets (infrequent) major content updates: https://deltatao.com/clanlord/

Yup, agreed. I am already having problems when I charge my MacBook Pro on the left side and the thing overheats. The hardware and software doesn't hold anything for me anymore; too buggy and poor value for money.

If I was an iOS dev I would have no choice. Luckily I am not

Does anyone know why virtual machines running on macOS seem so much slower than the same virtual machines on the same hardware bit running Windows? This is what I have observed but I have not studied it in any depth. Maybe this change will improve things?

I had a new computer pre installed with Catalina

It kind of feels like Apple makes the MacBook Pro only so there is a platform for people to make apps for thier main market - phones (and iPads?). So why not make the hardware almost the same I guess
