For me, iPhone mirroring is entirely broken, it worked flawlessly in version 26, but in version 27 I cannot browse the same device. I upgraded both devices to 27.0.1, and mirroring remains completely broken, as the iPhone appears to reject the key exchange.

The Turkish sentence's expansion would be pretty much like the mathematical expansion of the expression order.

I wish there was no tracking. I don't want to be tracked because I installed a looping animation.

Private Equity is the main driver of price increases in this type of stuff.

Think of your 401k getting wiped out, they will let your 401k pay for these data centers. Think about it, these bonds have a 40-year lifespan.

Re:Generative AI is hollowing out entry-level jobs, study finds on Tuesday September 16, 2025 @06:24PM (#45269026)
It’s nice and dandy, but most job postings are fake or ghost jobs.

IMAX emulates PalmPilot software to power Oppenheimer’s 70 mm release

It’s utter nonsense. None of my graphic design or illustrator friends, who are highly established professionals with great talent and impressive portfolios, can find jobs for an extended period. I know many of them personally. The current job market has been extremely challenging for them, and it’s not because of COVID-19. These artists were enjoying stable jobs in the past decade.

Re:Software engineering job openings hit five-year low? on Friday February 21, 2025 @01:29PM (#43131092)
Thanks for the additional information. The thing is the Trump administration is about to fire 200k probationary federal employees meaning they were hired within in the last year or so. These numbers don't add up either.
Re:Software engineering job openings hit five-year low? on Friday February 21, 2025 @12:20PM (#43130229)
I am not a Trump supporter and I didn't vote for him, but the fact is that Biden's BLS numbers were always manipulated to portray the former president as successful. These statistics are unreliable, in addition, the underlying premise of relying on job postings was flawed from the start which was my initial argument.

Take a look at this, the previous administration hired hundreds of thousands of gov workers to inflate the employment numbers.

The scams and fake job postings on the market are also increasing rapidly, outpacing the growth of overall job listings. This trend is significantly affecting the accuracy of employment and job availability tracking.
Re:Software engineering job openings hit five-year low? on Thursday February 20, 2025 @09:21PM (#43123305)
The number of job postings means nothing. 75% of the job postings are either scam or ghost postings.

These types of products have been around for a long time. I sued to have one a decade ago. It wasn't LiveScribe. Wacom also had a product like for this type of use.
That makes sense. Thanks.

xAI's Grok iOS app is querying "featureassets.org" which is an OpenAI domain

I was examining the DNS queries of the new Grok AI app on iOS. I observed that it sends requests to "featureassets.org", which OpenAI lists as one of their own domains. This caught my attention, given the rivalry between these two entities.https://help.openai.com/en/articles/9247338-network-recommendations-for-chatgpt-errors-on-web-and-apps"OpenAI uses the below domains.

Re:Orbit. Mozilla's AI Assistant for Firefox on Wednesday January 01, 2025 @03:35AM (#42564752)
Mozilla first needs to regain the trust of its users. They aren't privacy-first at all, they run a lot of telemetry on their users. Have you ever checked the number of DNS queries and IP requests that go to Firefox servers every minute? If you haven't, I have, and it is a lot. They literally ping home every minute in the name of network connectivity and other things, if you believe it. I don't mind using Mozilla products, but I just don't trust their motives and data practices.

Re:Turkish language has a gossip tense on Saturday October 12, 2024 @05:18PM (#41822713)
Actually there is no such thing as Ottoman Turkish, it is still Turkish with heavily borrowed phrases. It is not a distinct language. You won’t have any hard time understanding the spoken Turkish in Anatolia of that time. So called Ottoman Turkish was mostly limited to the government and literature use. Here is a recording of “Ottoman Turkish” from that time.

The most hyped technology in the history of the mankind only got 11 million users after compulsive and expensive branding and campaigns. Something doesn't add up here.

"GPU costs continue to fall" laughable prediction. They need more powerful GPUs not less as time goes by. These companies need monster GPUs with monster clusters that need monster energies. OpenAI is a bankrupt company as of now, their valuation means nothing as long as they keep loosing money as they do now.
Re:Americans Are Falling Behind on Their Bills on Saturday September 21, 2024 @01:23AM (#41607696)
What is clickbait about it? There are a lot of Americans who are out of jobs and having hard time pay their bills, maybe you’re not in that situation but there are millions of people who are in that position.
Thanks I will try higher dosage.
Caffeine does nothing for me at all, I do not get a kick when I drink coffee. It does not affect my sleep, it does not give me a boost at all. So I am a bit of jealous of those who can utilize caffeine for mental boost, I just drink it for the taste.
It also comes with telemetry that one can’t disable
Podcast: Why Google Is Shit Now

This week we go long on Google News and AI, and why Google Search is worse now. We also discuss a phone spy tool that can monitor billions.

Yes there are prior cases including my own user. They disabled my blue mark couple times in the past because I first changed my user name and the I also changed my user picture. In both cases X/Twitter disabled my blue for couple days. And I am nobody nor anti Elon or pro Elon.

ArsTechnica's journalism was insanely sloppy and flakey on this one. Shame on them.
