New Search! Finally !

Anyone able to restart the stream if you missed the first few minutes or are we living in a world where AI will cure cancer but Apple can't build a "Watch live / Watch from start" button ?

Old sidebar back on macOS thank god. 2026, the year Apple discovered toolbars are useful.

I have to manually log in to Gmail and other emails accounts just to search it properly. Really glad to see some action on this

tosh

finally a snow leopard like release focused on performance and fixing user experience

Let me know if Metal gets any cool new features

Stoked about custom environments on visionOS from your panoramas. I have been shooting so many panoramas of national parks in anticipation of this moment.

The dubbed audio is disturbing. Or is it a delayed audio stream?

WorldPeas

Hopefully this new golden gate update is really the snow leopard everyone's been hoping for.. already exciting one can now (if only partially) disable liquid glass

Is there a live text play-by-play so we don't have to watch a video like some pre-literate? ArsTechnica used to do one but I can't find it for this year.

Apple very rarely admits mistakes. The fact they're rolling back some of the extremeness in Liquid Glass and actively mentioned in the keynote that they very seriously took the user feedback shows just how bad it was, at least initially.

Another bunch of AI startups have been destroyed.

Ever since the liquid glass update, my wallpaper is just a muted color. I investigated the settings and previously my wallpaper was the "blur" version of my lock screen. Since the liquid glass update, "blur" apparently means "99% blur" instead of the 20-30% blur it used to be. The muted color does seem to be an average color of the lock screen image. But nothing recognizable.

Much as I have a not so great opinion on Siri's capabilities, I'm rather surprised how many people appear to use Siri/Apple Intelligence to search for rather niche hobby content that I run a site for. OpenAI's scrapers I expect volume from, but I didnt really expect apple's to be consistently rank second.

They try so hard to do a polished presentation that everything is kinda fake and unauthentic. I don't understand how this attitude survived so many years.

Siri AI - looks like finally Siri is getting its due update, hopefully they ship it soon!

Quitschquat

Are new MBPs eliding the notch?

slopinthebag

They can't come up with a better demo than planning the menu for a party???

nsagent

They really are trying to convince the skeptics about AI privacy. Do they allow you to opt out of data collection to improve their models for Siri? What about allow users to choose on-device only processing? If not, they are only speaking to the converted when they have Craig drill home their supposed privacy guarantees.

"Goal Chasers" group chat. Yikes.
