You are dismissive without providing an argument. Siri AI works as advertised and is local and private. Whats not to like?

It sounds like you have missed the point of AI.

No, that would be the inferior way to go. Apple Silicon is faster, more power efficient than x64. And it runs ARM64 Ubuntu etc just fine.

You have been given disinformation. ARM ubuntu runs on Apple Silicon, no problems.

False. Im running ARM ubuntu on VMware Fusion with zero compatibility issues.

Why don't you have he option for NAS, USB thumb drive, cloud storage, a VPN to your VPS, an external SSD, a network connection to any other computer, etc? You can even print some PDFs and put them in a storage unit.

Too bad nobody has invented a thing called Network Attached Storage. That would be sooo useful if it existed!

Yes, good point, I need nanosecond latency to all the data I have ever created plus all the data I have ever downloaded or else cardiac arrest. /s

Its great that people have an option to delete the model...fine. But keep in mind that they are saving somewhere between $1.32 and $6.00 depending on how much they pay for SSD storage. If you just want to offset 12GB to the cloud, 15GB of Google Drive is free. Considering that Siri actually works now, its probably worth keeping around.

Nobody cared if he liked Apple, at first it was opt-in. But now it became opt-out when he told everyone that he didn't like Apple. Still, nobody cared that he didn't like Apple but we don't even get a choice.

I totally agree with this.

Your comment is disinformation. I guess thats why your score is zero. MacBook Neo Teardown: The Most Repairable Mac Yet?

I agree. But Suno, as much as its amazing, blatantly uses Billie Eillish's voice. Then again, for years, there have been mock Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin bands that try to sound just like Mick Jagger/Robert Plant.

Slashdots Unicode bugs could be fixed in one minute but nobody bothers.

I canâ(TM)t even write Slashdotâ(TM)s with an apostrophe.

Thats how conventional lithium extraction works in the USA. Drilling for salt brine and evaporating it until the brine reaches a specific concentration. Then processing it with heat among other steps.

The alternative is crushing rock in Australia for example.
