The level of engagement during the FSD (I only oversee the FSD) is about 10% of the engagement during “I drive”.

Nobody can be told what FSD is. You have to see it for yourself.

the whole idea of “engineering” is about quality and responsibility

This is hilarious :-)

Making things that work has precisely zero relationship with quality or responsibilty or whatever shit you wish.

Of course you can pay me anytime for quality or responsibility or whatever :)

If I buy in the US and use it in the EU – will the Apple Intelligence work?

I would be happy to sacrifice the EU keyboard and have the AI instead :-)

Just use the word the way it's meant to be used.

Ha ha, you are funny:-)

This is the whole point of a (natural) language – the meaning of words is inevitably floating.

Do not nail down a meaning of a word, it’s impossible. Instead, try to imagine there is no word;-)

As expected – It’s not a vehicle design issue. It’s the driver behaviour and driving conditions.

“Most of these vehicles received excellent safety ratings, performing well in crash tests at the IIHS and NHTSA, so it’s not a vehicle design issue” [1]

“The models on this list likely reflect a combination of driver behavior and driving conditions, leading to increased crashes and fatalities.” [1]

The Minisforum needs an external power brick which probably almosts doubles the size.

The Mac Mini does not need any external power adapter which is quite amazing.

With the icloud private relay they say nobody can see both my IP address and the websites I visit. [1]

  - Your IP address is visible to your network provider and to the first relay, which is operated by Apple. Your DNS records are encrypted, so neither party can see the address of the website you’re trying to visit.  

  - The second relay, which is operated by a third-party content provider, generates a temporary IP address, decrypts the name of the website you requested, and connects you to the site.
I wonder whether this disables the surveillance by the wifi companies like Plume.

Can this Llama process ~1GB of custom XML data?

And answer queries like:

Give all <myObject> which refer to <location> which refer to an Indo-European <language>.

Apple is doing such a great job with their privacy features.

  - Private Relay
  - Hide my Email
Your ISP cannot see your web browsing. So can’t Google.

One time disposable email address for an unknown web site registration form.

All of this nicely integrated in all your iPhone/iPad/Mac and Safari with a great convenience.

Chrome – someone wrote it here - it’s such a resource hungry piece of crap.

The only reason for Chrome is feeding Google/advertisers your online behavior.

I guess the possible reason the EU saying iPadOS is a gatekeeper is Google/advertisers heavy lifting.
