  • I use the stock keyboard. It’s terrible, but so are the alternatives, plus there are privacy concerns.

    One nice thing I will say is that the word suggestions are actually good in the latest iOS since they are now based on an LLM.

    Bit other than thst typing is so inaccurate taht O have to go back and corewxt nearly every word.

    Swipe typing showing hello very much either. (Swipe typing doesn’t help very much either.)









  • The Fisker Ocean has solar panels on its roof. It can add 4 or 5 miles a day if fully exposed to the sun.

    Not enough to matter. It’s a gimmick.

    If you don’t have an EV, you may think that EV owners are worried about range, and they’d welcome any increase. I have not found this to be true.

    It’s more like having a car that starts every day with a full tank. You’re never going to burn through that in a single day. Pretty soon you don’t care about range, efficiency, or pay much attention to the battery meter. It only matters if you’re on a road trip, which for me is a couple times a year.

    I would not want to give up a nice full-roof sunroof for a few extra miles a day.



  • Use this shortcut from Ricky Mondello, the lead for Apple’s password development team.

    I get the feeling they wanted to do a Passwords app for some time but needed to get, probably executive-level, buy-in to get it done.

    Apple will get bad PR about this: they are “Sherlocking” password managers. 1Password will write a blog post about how this is actually good for them because now password management is mainstream; 3rd party password managers will decide to focus more on the enterprise market; Microsoft will come out with a competing password manager that re-uses the name of a previous product and is bundled with Edge, etc. How it always goes.
