At the same time, I think the reported PlayStation delay is telling: apparently the PS5 is “good enough” for Sony to wait for more memory capacity to come online, and they’re probably right! Thick clients — of which consoles like the PS5 are the ultimate example — have long since reached the point of diminishingweiterlesen

Notice what Apple didn’t do? They didn’t spend the entire event breathlessly hyping “AI” like every other tech company. This is good, Apple: do what you know best. Let others pioneer the technology, then mainstream it when it’s ready for normal humans. And that is why the company needs to go back to its oldweiterlesen

Dies sind einige Artikel, denen ich mich heute gewidmet habe und die ich für empfehlenswert erachte. Google I/O was AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, AI. Apple's WWDC was UI, UI, UI, UI, UI, UI. Can you imagine if the new "Liquid Glass" UI hadn't leaked ahead of time, for example? Or even the silly newweiterlesen

[…] In other words, byweiterlesen

Every user should have the capability to lock down their devices and their communications; bad actors surely will. At the same time, it’s fair to argue about defaults and the easiest path for users: I think the iPhone being fundamentally secure and iCloud backups being subject to the law is a reasonable compromise. Apple’s choicesweiterlesen

What I wish would happen — and yes, I know this is naive and stupid and probably fruitless — is that Apple would just give the slightest bit of ground. Yes, the company has the right to earn a profit from its IP, and yes, it created the market that developers want to take advantageweiterlesen
