Looks like a 20th Century Fox production. Which Disney owns now, right? So why isn’t it streaming on Disney? Kind of pathetic.

Kate Bush “Ariel”. What a disappointment that was.

These articles always ignore the expense involved with building, running, and maintaining a nuclear power plant.

It’s a double whammy. No one wants AI. No one likes Windows 11.

Everything went to shit during Trump’s first term. People decided to conveniently forget all of that and re-elect him. It’s bizarre.

Conservatives are obsessed with gender and gender roles.

That bronzer just looks worse and worse with each passing day.

Yep. I really love the retro futurism of it all. Their little computer terminals are a cool design.

Silo is starting up again this month.

I recommend starting with the original series or Star Trek the next generation. Picard and Discovery are probably the worst places to start.

That doesn’t say the API doesn’t work. That says the API that dev chose is for when your device is going to run heavy background tasks (processing). This API is designed to run when the device has plenty of battery or is plugged in and isn’t doing anything else. That’s not unexpected, nor is it any different from Apple apps (you don’t want spotlight indexing or photo recognition to fire when you’re low on battery or in the middle of playing a game).

Uploading photos isn’t a heavy background task. There’s gotta be a way to do upload it as you take the photo. And I’d think sending new photos to an app would be done by a push notification or would work similar to receiving new emails in the background from the many third party mail apps that do this.

Again, I want to see what the suing devs claim and what Apple counters with.

Sounds spammy.

This makes me think about the TNG episode where they originally tried to backdoor pilot a Starfleet Academy series — it was the one where Wesley and his cohorts break the rules flying shuttles or something and someone gets killed (and they lie about it). I have to wonder how that series would have turned out if it had been picked up.

I really doubt this had anything to do with it. Why would dems give a shit if Cheney was like “for gods sake vote for anyone but Trump - at least Kamala is sane”?

Probably a good idea. I wouldn’t want to deal with all the political arguments between relatives.

It’s strange that there would be so much documentation for an API that reportedly doesn’t work. Including a 2019 WWDC session explaining how to run in the background for more processor intensive tasks.

There’s even a recent step by step post on Medium explaining how to implement short or long background tasks. Doesn’t say anything about it not working.

If it really doesn’t work then I’d imagine the lawsuit will be won handily. It’ll be interesting to see what becomes of this.

Why are you baffled? When you nominate a clown to lead your party, you get a circus.

You should phone up Mueller and ask him.

It will depend on if Zuck has done anything to piss him off. If so he will probably give the FTC the go ahead. That’s how he operates. It’s not about what’s good for the country. It’s about quid pro quo.
