You can always buy multiple Macs. I think Apple's great differentiator could be making frontier class models local. I you want more threads, buy more Macs.

I don't want to run any workflows on someone else's computers.

It's good to have option in case your own government turns rogue.

How about "non-professionals"? It could be useful to check device before sending for pre-compliance / compliance checks and save money - that would avoid very expensive iterations.

These apps should be banned or be forced to only show feeds from accounts you follow in chronological order, nothing more. Perhaps with some basic search if you want to discover something new, but cumbersome enough so that you don't spend hours on it.

I know someone he keeps scrolling the minute they wake up. They are behind on chores, life stuff, but keep scrolling.

That wouldn't be too bad in itself if not for sheer amount of misinformation that is being served. Especially health related. Thanks to AI enhanced videos showing parasites everywhere, person now has developed eating disorder and thinks their poor health is due to parasites and not the fact they spend whole day on Instagram. Now they started ordering "supplements" and "courses" those people peddle. I tried to report these accounts, but Meta insist they are no breaching any T&C.

If you don't have RAM you swap, so it is still better to at least ensure swap is a little bit faster.

If safety is extremely important, why there were bugs in the first place? Surely these should have been caught before code would get into main, no?

Don't they already do that?

It sounds like they are building a honeypot for Russia, given Musk's open admiration for Putin.

No one sane would use this platform.

Interesting why there is no legal challenge for regulator to fine phone manufacturers for not allowing other operating systems. Any groups working on that?

I tried such systems in the past and the success was limited. When floppy was replaced with image reader, the device wouldn't read half of them. But it would read the floppies just fine. I wonder if anything has changed since. I tried Greaseweazle (few versions) and Kryoflux with multiple different floppy drives.

It's a shame we relabelled corruption as lobbying. The damage it has done is untold.

One thing that China does should be adopted in the West.

Effect of law enforcement not doing their jobs. Chat Control is illegal in many countries including Germany and that includes preparation for the roll out. Just need a prosecutor with a spine.

Fable is really weird, it's like clever and dumb at the same time. I worked on some research with it and the resulting document was a mix of brilliance and complete stupidity. Took ages to clean it up with other models.

In the UK, when I reported a crime, I had to pull out the book and read the verse what constitutes an assault for Police to record it, because they didn't know. That said, 3 weeks later case was closed because they couldn't find the perpetrator. That is despite me giving them video evidence and address of that person. Looks like our taxes are well spent.

Where are the pictures to see what exactly is the problem?

Law enforcement should stop them. In countries like Germany this is very likely illegal and amounts to preparation of terrorist act.
