When I saw the announcement I was kinda hoping that they were taking a magic keyboard, tearing it apart and adding the extra hardware to make having this possible. But seems like t…

I would be very curious if that cost was before or after Truvada went generic. Through cost plus a month's supply is $14 (which means without insurance): https://www.costplusdrugs.…

I am arguing that all sexually active people (except maybe those in a fully confirmed monogamous relationship) should at a minimum have a conversation with their doctor about it an…

I mean we are talking about the "Pro" machine. I think there is likely an argument to be made that if you are not doing a task that would genuinely improve with more powerful hardw…

That I could see, I guess the question comes down to how often to people upgrade. That comes down to discipline. Is a 3 year upgrade cycle for a MacBook Pro unreasonable? Would you…

The math for the new program is kinda perplexing, my guess is that they are hoping that most people just will send in the device and upgrade. If I am reading the FAQ here properly:…

> You are extremely unlikely to get HIV from anything other than risky sex. Yes because it is such a fantastic idea to just ignore that there is still a risk regardless of what we …

I guess it depends on what we call risky, I mean if someone is actively trying to get pregnant are we considering that "risky"? Someone could be taking the necessary precautions an…

> If you are not doing risky sex it isn't for you. That blanket statement I very much disagree with. Sure there are side effects but that is part of why you also get tested every 3…

Cost and compliance are still 2 major factors that have not been solved. We also have education and stigma. While within the LGBT community it is far more common to be open about s…

I have to admit that given how many times we have been here, I struggle with being excited about any news about a HIV vaccine until we see results from humans. Just way too many ti…

The situation with Apple is what really annoys me about this entire situation, they clearly felt pressure because there was article after article about "Apple falling behind" on AI…

There is a difference though, all of the talk about ML was almost exclusively in the tech circles. Or at most there was a quick reference to "ML" when a feature was announced but i…

This is the problem with all of the recent “AI” crap that has been shoved into our devices. We have had ML features for years and it provided real benefits but most people did not …

I would bet that doing so would be a pretty quick way to have your app pulled. They already require that you use Sign in with Apple, I would think that it working fully is also a r…

It isn’t intentionally misleading, at best it is an over simplification of what is happening. It is a fact that there is a government lead effort in various states to ban books fro…

The problem is that there isn’t really a better term, and using “banned” gives the correct impression for most people to see the problem. In many cases these books are not simply b…

I am not fully convinced that a foldable is really going to be something that most will want, but I think it could find its niche. Given that from another article it seems that in …

A dishwasher is the only reason you can think of a humanoid robot? How about a robot to load and unload the dishwasher. The fact is we live in a world built for humans. I have a ro…

This is basically advocating for open source games which is a completely different story than what stop killing games is trying to do. There are tons of closed source games that ha…

I unfortunately have met a few. I have one friend that legit scares me... we saw how people reacted to o4 being discontinued. Though I do agree that most people probably don't want…

I am thankful that both my partner and myself are in a pretty good spot when it comes to our gaming PC's. I had hoped to double my RAM at some point but I am still at a comfortable…

We can be cynics of AI without ignoring reality, if no one wanted this no one would be chatting with Claude or ChatGPT directly, but people obviously are. The fact is there are peo…

Some competition for Apple in this space and competition for Intel and AMD is great. But I really do question how well Windows on Arm is really going to work out long term. For App…

As someone who is not in the market for a Ferrari, I feel like I am crazy for actually kinda liking the look of it? (The blue is bad, they should have used the red one for all of t…
