I wonder if it would be possible to extend the capabilities of the software to triangulate the location of a a Stingray or other false tower with a few more of those devices working in concert in the same area.

Apple’s transparency reports are interesting to look at, though I think the last update was June 2024.

Here’s the latest update for the US.

Nah, it would never happen.

We would end up with comprehensive gun control reform before we ran out of our precious billionaires.

He really does look like a cross of Wonka and the Oompa Loompas.

In only the most playful and harmless spirit of sarcasm, it kinda reads like, “you are immortal if you make choices which do not kill you”.

And as an extension, “if you choose to survive long enough, that will eventually kill you, as well”.

It sounds like a complicated way of describing an instinctively non-suicidal existence.

Don’t you dare give consumers what they want.

Same symptoms here:

Voyager 2.24.3

iPhone 15 Pro Max

iOS 18.3.1

Had to use another client to post this.

I need AI summaries a lot less than I would prefer a smart mail filter to actually remove all the spam email and texts.

Did some fuckin’ Aussie heart surgeon just breeze into a Home Depot and saunter into the plumbing aisle in his board shorts and flips flops and just whip together a heart out of brass fittings and teflon tape???

“Oi! DANNY, YA FUCKIN’ BOGAN! I DONE DID YA UP A NEW RICKY TICKEY—ALL FUCKIN’ SHINEY AND CHROME!!! GRAB A CARPET KNIFE AND SOME DUNNY GLOVES—WE’ll GET THIS FUCKER INTO YOUR BLUDGER CHEST BEFORE YA SHEILA SAYS YA WERE CHUCKING A SICKIE!”

More of an employee evaluation…

I guess Mac does win, interesting.

It’s a waypoint. As you move around, so will the waypoint.

Go to the waypoint to begin your next mission.

I’d say I go to see a movie in an actual movie theater once a year, but the truth is I probably go half as often as that.

It isn’t that I am not interested in movies, I just don’t see the value. I am supposed to pay for a ticket, concessions, and whatever goes into travel to the theater to watch a movie with a bunch of (probably annoying) strangers in a fairly gross environment?

My guess is my annual box office contribution is approximately 0.5x the current ticket price.

If, however, there was a $20/month subscription service which would let me watch new releases at home, I would subscribe.

Even if it was relegated to expensive hardware, like an Apple Vision Pro, I would very likely buy the device and sign up for the subscription.

$240/year would be a hell of a lot more revenue than my current $5.50/year—regardless of whether or not it would be exclusive to certain hardware or platforms.

Honestly, my current TV and sound system may not be as impressive as a theater, but they are good and I’d take that experience over the modified bus depot experience of a public movie theater.

That trackpad and palm rest is looking like Gizmo Duck

I’m no fan of google, but I don’t see how it could be expected to act as the insurer for people who have fallen victim to social-engineering gift card scams.

It would be a pretty crazy precedent if the judge ruled differently.

I hope this frees up time to invest more time in a passion project for himself. I want nothing but contentment for that guy.
