When was the last time you used a desktop?

For most people, their smartphone is their computer, and (globally) Android is the top used one. Android is a version of Linux, so every year for quite a while has been the Year of the Linux “desktop”.

OSX was never really open sourced. If you tried compiling it, you’d have found it wouldn’t work because it was incomplete.

They now want five years of experience for service desk now.

Sorry, that was the wrong link.

You mixed up step 2, it’s supposed to be “Install KoReader”.

researchers at Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon University found that the more humans lean on AI tools to complete their tasks, the less critical thinking they do, making it more difficult to call upon the skills when they are needed.

It’s one thing to try to do and then ask for help (as you did), it’s another to just ask it to “do x” without thought or effort which is what the study is about.

Ironically, that iPhone will (now) have a shorter support window than the new Pixel.

3.5 inch or 5.25 inch?

AI summary:

The article discusses the Chinese government’s influence on DeepSeek AI, a model developed in China. PromptFoo, an AI engineering and evaluation firm, tested DeepSeek with 1,156 prompts on sensitive topics in China, such as Taiwan, Tibet, and the Tiananmen Square protests. They found that 85% of the responses were “canned refusals” promoting the Chinese government’s views. However, these restrictions can be easily bypassed by omitting China-specific terms or using benign contexts. Ars Technica’s spot-checks revealed inconsistencies in how these restrictions are enforced. While some prompts were blocked, others received detailed responses.

(I’d add that the canned refusals stated “Any actions that undermine national sovereignty and territorial integrity will be resolutely opposed by all Chinese people and are bound to be met with failure,”. Also that while other chat models will refuse to explain things like how to hotwire a car, DeepSky gave a “general, theoretical overview” of the steps involved (while also noting the illegality of following those steps in real life).

Very. It’s unpatchable. It’s taking advantage of a speculative execution flaw, which is baked into the CPU microcode. This is the Apple M-chip version of Spectre/Meltdown that happened on x86 CPUs a few years ago.

The best Apple can do is attempt to add some code to the OS to help prevent this issue, but if Spectre was any example, it’ll cause a hit to the CPU performance.

It’s a bad headline, but I see where you were coming from.

The article does mention:

It follows news that Meta, the parent company of Instagram and Facebook, has already contributed $1 million to the fund. And Amazon has also promised a $1 million infusion into Trump’s inauguration coffers.

So it was name dropping, but it’s being done as a company, not the individual. Sam Altman is still mentioned as a single and not as a company again though.

I didn’t follow these donation news too closely, but from the headlines it always sounded like they do it personally!?

Really? I’ve never seen a single article that said that. Even this one points out that

Amazon, Meta, Uber, OpenAI’s Sam Altman, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Coinbase, Toyota, Ford, GM, AT&T, Black & Decker, and Charter Communications are also making donations to Trump’s inauguration fund.

None of these say Zuckerberg, or Bezos, etc… (except for Sam Altman). Seems that it’s companies that are the norm.

What I’m curious about is, according to the article, Tim Apple is donating from this own money and won’t be donating Apple’s money. Why make it a personal donation and not a corporate one?

While others are donating as companies (don’t agree with this either but different subject), none are doing it as a personal donation. As the face of Apple, he won’t get far claiming that it doesn’t reflect Apple as a company, so why not just m make it corporate? Unless it’s for tax reasons?

Not op but would love to try this on my steam deck too if you’re offering a key

Which one is it? This isn’t Schrodinger’s iPhone.
