    Nominative determinism.

    Look, I haven’t tried the dev beta of macOS 27 Golden Gate yet, and by all accounts it’s got some good improvements. But with that name, you’re just asking for trouble.

    yomitomu:

    I’m just waiting for the first controversy with this new OS so we can call it Golden GateGate.

    Built for un-intelligence.

    Apple’s WWDC keynote leaned heavily on a new Siri and updated Apple Intelligence features, the most advanced of which will only run on an elite cadre of Apple devices… not including the “Built for Apple Intelligence” iPhone 16.

    morgannels:

    So the iPhone 16, which was sold as being built for Apple Intelligence, was not only built for an Apple Intelligence that didn’t exist, but also turns out NOT to have been built for the Apple Intelligence that will exist?

    Apple is an EGOT.

    The Broadway adaptation of Schmigadoon!, originally an Apple TV series, picked up four awards in yesterday’s Tonys, off the back of 12 nominations, completing Apple’s unexpected set after recent Emmy, Grammy, and Oscar wins. Not bad for a computer company.

    Mayor vs. the Monorail.

    The mayor of Shelbyville, Indiana, potential home of a proposed $2 billion data center, says he only sees signs opposed to the project “in shitty houses.” As ever, there’s a Simpsons quote for that.

    SteveBigAndTall:

    It’s more of a Springfield idea I guess.

    No sharp objects.

    The bubble is very delicate, even a social media slop filter might burst it.

    burkellium:

    It would be devastating to the bubble. No sharp objects near the AI please.

    Honor’s IP69 foldable is beginning to launch internationally.

    The Magic V6 was first announced at MWC this year, and is already on sale in China. Today it launches in Singapore and Malaysia, where it costs RM 7,699 (about $1,930), with Europe to follow later this month. Alongside an IP69 rating it’s super slim, and has a huge 6,660mAh battery.
