  • The Backlash Is So Strong That People With “Pervert Glasses” Are Afraid to Use Them in Public

    Jump

  • Specifically identifying the “pervert glasses” as “pervert Meta Ray-bans” would kill these products even faster. Associating Ray-bans with perversion would surely be a deal breaker.

  • Microsoft Office 2019 for Mac Will Soon Stop Letting You Edit Documents

    Jump

  • I use it pretty regularly at home, and haven’t seen anything that significant other than the premium templates being highlighted in the sidebar when you create a new document.

    I did run into a scenario where you had the option to preview smart features while editing thereby showing you how it could be applicable in the immediate short term, but then annoyingly removed the data entered if you didn’t want to subscribe. Otherwise it works about the same as you’d come to expect the software to run.

  • Microsoft is intentionally bricking all Office for Mac 2019/2021 installations

    Jump

  • True. I don’t spend as much time these days word processing as I used to, but I really should get around to downloading libre office.

  • I found that Pages and Numbers work just fine for me at home, and it comes included with my Mac. And if I’m truly desperate, Google Docs and Sheets are always a viable alternative.

    Parent company of Truth Social reports $400M loss

  • TMTG is also active in financial services, and the company announced US$2.5 billion in funding a year ago to invest in cryptocurrencies, one of Trump’s recent passions.

    According to its filing, TMTG generated US$900,000 in revenue during the first quarter, a paltry amount for a company valued at US$2.47 billion on the stock market.

    And suspiciously interesting,

    TMTG said in December that it is merging with the American company TAE, which is developing nuclear fusion technology.

  • Apple CEO Tim Cook is stepping down as Apple's chief executive officer, and hardware engineering chief John Ternus is set to take over September1st, Apple announced today.

  • We all knew it was coming, but what a time to pass the baton. Good luck, John.

  • Students are speeding through their online degrees in weeks, alarming educators

    Jump

  • I originally interpreted the lyrics as a view of commodified education where the prerequisite for a lot of jobs nowadays require a degree or two just to get past the AI review process.

    I didn’t mean to come off as knocking the pursuit of higher education. I mean I probably deserve it quoting a Kanye song! My wife has applied for her Masters next year, and I’m looking into the process of upgrading my advanced diploma into a degree myself. It just makes me laugh with frustration at how the ladder for success keeps adding rungs the higher you climb it.

  • Students are speeding through their online degrees in weeks, alarming educators

    Jump

  • This sort of reminds me of that Kanye West School Spirit Skit about learning:

    You keep it going man, you keep those books rolling You pick up those books you're going to read And not remember, and you roll man You get that associate's degree, okay Then you get your bachelor's, then you get your master's Then you get your master's masters Then you get your doctorateYou go man, and then when everybody says quit You show them those degrees man When everybody says, "hey, you're not working "You're not making any money" You say, "look at my degrees and you look at my life Yeah, I'm 52, so what?"Hate all you want But I'm smart, I'm so smart, and I'm in school These guys are out here, huh Making money all these ways, and I'm spending mine to be smart You know why? Because when I die, buddy You know what's gonna keep me warm? That's right, those degrees

  • I guess a good follow-up question might be what other regions aren’t on Apple Maps?

  • A single threat actor used Claude and ChatGPT to compromise nine Mexican government agencies and steal hundreds of millions of citizen records in a highly sophisticated cyberattack.
