This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Let's face it the problem is mostly the people. If AI was as super duper as claimed to be it would be able to construct advertising that makes everyone go: 'Yeah, I have to have this, it's useful, ethical, the bees knees really. '
The little advertising that still makes it over my thresholds is bad to abominable and of that what registers for me has the opposite affect it intents - I go out of my way to avoid it.
Instead of focusing on battery life, they focused on some dogshit hype product that no one uses and no body asked for.
Are you asleep? EVERYONE ASKED FOR AI IN ALL THE THINGS!

Yep I’m asleep without my Apple watch because the battery barely holds out a day and a half.
All the shareholders of AI progressing companies should do this.
Apple used rigged demos and made false claims about their own technology so outstanding that their own project managers were taken aback by how far behind the features actually were vs. what was pushed. There's already informal documentaries on the massive internal disconnects within Apple that have lead to poor product testing and stagnation.
There is some possibility that Tim Cook will resign or be fired.
I think Apple is going to have to release Safari for Windows and Linux to use new users as guinea pigs.
I did use Safari for Windows back in the day. It was a product they indeed shipped.
Was Safari for Windows a good, bad, or average product?
It was fun! It worked well when compared with IE back in the day which isn't saying much, but it was a sensible bedfellow with iTunes and all the Apple mobile support software that was common to run alongside for your iPod. I enjoyed using it as my main browser because it was aesthetically pleasing.
I remember at one point the front-end guys I knew were laughing that it didn't even support iframes. But I imagine it eventually got decent enough.
Generally, Safari was kind of middling in function and design until around 2018, when it got more streamlined or something; at least, its apparent performance improved over the other browsers on macOS. It was novel on Windows but pretty limited and just, meh.
Edit: I forgot, the clean, minimalist, ad free reader view on the windows version was very nice to have. Long time ago!
I really hope this goes somewhere.
Not because I have any sympathy for the shareholders, mind you, fuck absolutely everyone involved. But I think it would be very funny to make Apple prove in court that AI is such dogshit it would've hurt the product more to implement it than not.
Meanwhile in my company the leadership just thinks that we have a messaging problem after the new AI stuff we implemented made absolutely no difference in the sales numbers.
The overpromising is criminal despite what the actual law says. Let the companies pushing AI beyond it‘s boundaries bleed.
I don't remember writing this....or having that account!
The bad thing is that Apple would introduce Recall for all its devices in the future, just to keep its shareholders happy.
Local Snapshots have been available on OSX and MacOS since 2011 as long as you use Time Machine to make backups.
Was Apple Intelligence a fiasco?
