    I would be careful with such allegations. The emails show Ehud Barak first visited the island in 2014, while Virginia claimed the rape happened on the island in 2002.

    Apple Intelligence is run on-device and on Apple's Private Cloud Compute, it does not use OpenAI. Apple also allows ChatGPT (and later other models) to be called directly from Siri…

    Apple Intelligence doesn't use OpenAI at all. Siri and writing tools can tap into ChatGPT to compose text, e.g. create a story but that requires approval from the user. Claiming th…

    Apple does not take screenshots every couple seconds, unlike Microsoft. That's what people were bothered about.

    I did read the article. The person I'm replying to claims the entire debate was "uninformed hysteria", which means they thought the previous security model already required admin.

    It is possible to access to Recall database without admin access. https://x.com/GossiTheDog/status/1798832390070276500

    +35% is for a single cherry-picked Geekbench AES subtest. AMD did not show the overall Geekbench improvement.

    Recall can't be disabled during the Windows setup. It has to be disabled manually in Windows settings. https://x.com/tomwarren/status/1796681578984182066

    For some reason vim-airline in combination with neovim 0.10 has really bad performance when scrolling large files. This doesn't happen with neovim 0.9 and regular vim.

    It can't. This user seems to be confused about what lockdown mode is.

    Lockdown mode is used to protect journalists or other people against malware like Pegasus. It doesn't get activated by being in an unusual location, it has to be manually activated…

    I would recommend reading the Geekbench 6 internals document, they explain the rational behind the change. > Geekbench 6 uses a “shared task” model for multi-threading, rather than…

    Can you share evidence of "heavy bias" towards Apple in GB6?

    If your compare the Geekbench 5 results there is an approximately 8% IPC improvement. Geekbench 5 does not use SME.

    The M3 Pro had some downgrades compared to the M2 Pro, less performance cores and lower memory bandwidth. This did not apply to the M3 and M3 Max.

    For example when you set a timer each day at 8 pm, this data is used to suggest you a timer shortly before 8 pm. It's a convenience feature.

    This article is highly misleading, making it sound like Siri is collecting data from apps and sending it to Apple. This is not the case, Siri Suggestions are fully on-device, thoug…

    Passmark is known to be a bad benchmark, something like Geekbench which has results that closely match with the industry standard SPEC would be a better comparison for real life pe…

    Do you have something more recent than a leak from over 2 years ago that has long been fixed? I'm curious why iCloud Private Relay is theatre at the moment.

    The difference is really obvious during code compilation or other tasks that can take advantage of all cores.

    There is no evidence that Apple ever planned to introduce a MFi system with USB-C. What likely happened is that leakers misinterpreted the USB-C E-Marker as a MFi chip.

    You either have to enable E2EE or disable both Messages in iCloud and device backups. Otherwise the device backups contain a copy of your messages.

    That's not true. Apple employees can see a video feed of your screen after you accept their support request (similar to screen sharing over FaceTime), but they can't interact with …

    Does that include updated drivers? If no, then there are still many unfixed security vulnerabilities.
