What. If OS' are going to require age verification, then ditto with AI needing a prescription if it's causing psychosis in individuals, when dolling out essentially, medical/psychiatric advice, willy nilly. Medical professionals require licenses for a reason, as they rely on their training...

I'll play slight contrarian. It's Apple's Chromebook. If I keep expectations in check, I think it's fine for pre-college aged students. No one on Ars is buying this for themselves. Magsafe is also my only big complaint; I've knocked the cord out several times on my MBP and it's just...

My governor believes the Earth is ~6,000 years old. It's not new, other than it's out in the open, more and more. Same goes with the racism and misogyny. The GOP is a death cult, Iran today, Israel... eventually, because they believe Rapture or something. Also greedy as all get out.

But why? Easy peasy, quick adventure, right Rick Sanchez? I'm curious what the FAFO phase of this operation unravels into.

Apple's accessories are terrible values. I have a Pencil Pro, and it's nice, but some of my writing apps still don't support the squeezy bit. Never again, 3rd parties all the way. The updated iPad Air and 17e don't look too bad, better value for the money, especially given the current climate...

Apple TV Ultra Pro Max...Air. Get all of them in there for good measure. While I'm curious about seeing new stuff, nothing sounds particularly interesting either, basically faster SoC updates and IMO, playing back 4k video is a solved problem, the other aspects, much like iPads are, have been...

I got this the other day, and my brother in Christ, I wish Microsoft would stop breaking shit and/or adding shit with mid-year releases. Apple does it too (to a far lesser extent), but why can't the OS just show me my files, open my apps, install my apps, let me search for those files, and in...

To me it depends on if Trump wants to kick that hornet's nest too. Trump has a hard-on on appearing strong, rilling up China, and is dumb as a bag of hammers with like everything he has ever done. Also, he's senile and easily manipulated. I personally wasn't expecting a war with China until...

To me that's the biggest problem. Somewhere along the way, decency and compassion flew the roost...what happened? Morals and ethics are intertwined, but that so many people are A-OK with twisting Christian dogma. Jesus would be branded a socialist and yet (unironically) play lip service to the...

sigh The U.S. is a threat to world peace and can't be trusted with anything. I also keep reminding myself that the GOP is a death cult and hypocrisy reigns supreme. Some days I just want to cry over how stupid this country has became and so many people are just complacent in doing the bidding...

TBF, WB itself has been sold several times, the old studio system collapse took many of the studios out. IIRC, WB-7 Arts was back in the late 60's, then something else, then Discovery, now this. Mentally, I'm vomiting at the thought of Bugs Bunny pictured next to Trump or a "less woke"...

Older cases are such beasts. I appreciate the roominess of aquarium cases, but I also think they prioritize hiding cables, still humongous, and yet, have less physical storage options. I've also never gotten into keeping my case on my desk as well, and perhaps that's something else too. I...

For me, gaming culture = collecting (Nintendo, Sega, Atari, Sony, etc), showing off what you grew up with, talking about basically your childhood. I have some artwork, statues, Amiibos, a small collection of consoles and games. For me, it's trying to recapture the nostalgia of my 8-9 year old...

Apple green lit and released Liquid Glass on the masses, I don't think management cares at all. Hard to fault programmers when they're just following directives.

It seems I only have time to use my camera at the dog park anymore, as having a dog is like having a toddler, and this has been the weirdest winter ever, with essentially a lack of meaningful snow accumulation, but the mountains were particularly pretty last weekend.

My mind often goes to Disney, how they've weaponized copyright laws, while making shorts and movies off of old fairy tales, some in the public domain. However, this isn't it, and I find it wild that going "oh, I didn't know when of the most popular book series in the past 30 years isn't in the...

My second biggest concern about a Siri enabled pin thing was that it sounds so uninspired and me too. "We need an iPhone accessory that can listen for Siri commands and something to do with AI!" "Don't people already have Apple watches?" "Oh, yeah...slap an always-on camera in there...

Doesn't sound like it; these are claiming that it will be part of the 26.4 beta (end of the month): https://9to5mac.com/2026/02/08/ios-26-4-heres-when-apple-will-release-the-first-beta/ https://www.macobserver.com/news/ios-26-4-first-beta-expected-date-siri-revamp-and-new-features/

TBF, they kind of do, based on whom they vote for (or don't bother to vote at all). Thisclose to becoming 'papers please' level of fascism. It's all theatre to disenfranchise more voters from voting.

Narrator: He won't as we've heard this story before: https://www.wthr.com/article/money/business/final-round-of-layoffs-at-indianapolis-carrier-factory-1-year-after-trump-deal/531-83a116eb-93f6-4fdc-8791-5b34b96aff19 I'm sure this time, trickle down economics will work. Just have to keep...
