if you don’t know something, say so. do not assume.
learn it, then teach it.

TIL that the apple's ai models actually already support different languages

then why is it taking so long to release 'apple intelligence' to other countries

surprisingly, the battery life on iOS seems actually pretty decent for a beta.
macOS on the other hand is causing my battery to drain a bit faster than normal, but nothing much to complain about.

correction.

camera control seems to be turned off?

go to;
camera > camera control > camera adjustments

turn camera adjustments on, and select the controls you want to use

weird move, apple.

so far;

macOS launchpad is non existent now. you cannot delete appstore apps from launchpad anymore
(either remove it from the applications folder. or, like i had to do with Xcode, sudo rm -rf the application.)

safari on mac is really laggy. compact tab mode seems to be removed

1/2

this actually sucks.

it seems like they removed having your open tabs at the top of the screen in compact mode. (i.e. the compact tab layout)

this wastes so much space..

boredom is a vacuum that your brain hates, but when bored for long enough, your brain will fill it with creative output.

be bored. be creative.

ask 'why' and 'what if' instead of just nodding along.

with things like this happening i wonder what they (in this case microsoft) hope to get out of this in the long term

microsoft and all the other tech giants are burning money providing AI so cheap (or even for free)

sure, they have practically limitless resources, but how long does that last?

Gradient Background Generator

one of the reasons i love being a software dev is that if you need something, you can (and should!) build it.

i needed a local gradient background generator, so i made my own >> gradient.nielsjaspers.com

it is simple and limited, but it fits my use case.

reality eventually reasserts itself. "smart" is always what it takes to adapt to one's environment, whether that's preserving attention span despite dopamine saturation (the past ten years), or acquiring independent thinking despite automated reasoning (the next ten years)
