Apple sued by shareholders for allegedly overstating AI progress
-
The bad thing is that Apple would introduce Recall for all its devices in the future, just to keep its shareholders happy.
Local Snapshots have been available on OSX and MacOS since 2011 as long as you use Time Machine to make backups.

Are you asleep? EVERYONE ASKED FOR AI IN ALL THE THINGS!

Yep I’m asleep without my Apple watch because the battery barely holds out a day and a half.

There is some possibility that Tim Cook will resign or be fired.
This can be a very good thing or a very bad thing.
-
I really hope this goes somewhere.
Not because I have any sympathy for the shareholders, mind you, fuck absolutely everyone involved. But I think it would be very funny to make Apple prove in court that AI is such dogshit it would've hurt the product more to implement it than not.
Meanwhile in my company the leadership just thinks that we have a messaging problem after the new AI stuff we implemented made absolutely no difference in the sales numbers.

Was Safari for Windows a good, bad, or average product?
I remember at one point the front-end guys I knew were laughing that it didn't even support iframes. But I imagine it eventually got decent enough.

It was fun! It worked well when compared with IE back in the day which isn't saying much, but it was a sensible bedfellow with iTunes and all the Apple mobile support software that was common to run alongside for your iPod. I enjoyed using it as my main browser because it was aesthetically pleasing.

Let's face it the problem is mostly the people.
If AI was as super duper as claimed to be it would be able to construct advertising that makes everyone go:
'Yeah, I have to have this, it's useful, ethical, the bees knees really. 'The little advertising that still makes it over my thresholds is bad to abominable and of that what registers for me has the opposite affect it intents - I go out of my way to avoid it.

I mean you do have a messaging problem. Your leadership has received bad messaging about what "AI" can do!

I'm referring to Microsoft's AI Recall, but Apple should apply it to its MacOS or all its devices.

Instead of focusing on battery life, they focused on some dogshit hype product that no one uses and no body asked for.
Why doesn't Apple become a PBC?

Have you seen the typical Linux zealot lol
Have you seen a Windows zealot?
Yeah me neither

Advertise more and sell harder. Who cares what kind of trash the customers end up buying, bevcause only profits matter.

Apple professional management have run the company down with their many foolish decisions. Feels similar to how Microsoft became worse annd worse after XP.

They exist. Go on a Steam discussions page for a popular game that doesn't currently support Linux, and create a new post politely asking about the possibility of Linux support.
*A wild WINDOWS ZEALOT appears*

There‘s also the FSEvents database on the root of every disk which is a database of all the file events/operations that happened on that disk.
Supposedly you can disable it, but I haven’t got it to work. For example if you download a sensitive file, do something with it, and delete it. You can see this in the FSEvents database.
This is already a recall type feature at the file system level.

After W2K I didn't like XP all that much, it felt slower and was too "Chinese-looking" (how it could be said in my language in those years). Now I'm nostalgic over chromecore aesthetic and that look, silver Game Boy, silver PS2, silver SW Phantom Menace interiors. Or matte black as an alternative, too looking very cool. Or at least that "normal" matte white. But in UIs - XP felt a bit too much, tiring for my eyes. Still, XP with default blue theme and jump-to-lightspeed wallpaper is what home and nostalgie are for me.

NTFS has that exact feature too, a log of file operations on the disk. They've had it long before Recall was a thing.

For this to be a good thing the shareholders would need to agree to a technical CEO rather than a marketing one and that comes with the wee lil' issue of raining on their AI parade. If Tim Cook goes his replacement will be even worse.

Apple used rigged demos and made false claims about their own technology so outstanding that their own project managers were taken aback by how far behind the features actually were vs. what was pushed. There's already informal documentaries on the massive internal disconnects within Apple that have lead to poor product testing and stagnation.
So, your MO is fooling customers since Jobs. You learn that fooling customers doesn't ever get punished. Then your shareholders become fooled well enough over time. Then your management is so involved in fooling customers and shareholders that they don't know anything else. Then there's bound to happen a moment.
