I'm not sure as others why others feel this is a major change.

OnePlus was always a subsidiary by Carl Pei [1] who eventually left the brand to create a new gadgets/tech company.

Nothing [2] is the next project he started that keeps many of the ideas started with OnePlus, good value for money and aim for quality Android.

Bootloader also seems to allow unlocking [3]

In recent years OnePlus was just another Chinese phone.

But if I've misunderstood something, I'll appreciate me being corrected.

I wonder if there's simple way in the EU or markets that allow non-appstore to install this without TrollStore or something that needs to re-certificate each time.

Requires macOS 14+ on Apple silicon. (Linux is supported via firecracker and currently experimental...)

So should be noted it's mostly macOS out of the box with some Linux support if I understand right.

of course, but I was under the impression the real shortage is RAM mostly.

The interesting part of this "RAM crisis" is similar to other fields where a problem results multiple parties looking for alternative solutions.

This yields for exciting ideas or workarounds that might result a post-crisis memory boom (hopefully) also for local machines.

1. Lowest, Apple is evaluating new Chinese manufacturer which means change of supply demand if indeed it has reasonable QA. (https://www.ft.com/content/f4ac5c92-03be-4499-b16a-017a7e9ee...)

2. Companies tries to workaround performance - suddenly single channel is 'ok' ? :) (https://www.gigabyte.com/press/news/2403)

I also didn't fully understand if the context is:

- Ban ANY use of your personal chats / device at work (eg. your wife texts you to bring milk on the way home)

- Ban WORK communication (eg. My colleague don't understand recent commit I've made)

So the web really isn't explaining how things enforced or what is being done. I do know of some industries where you put your personal phone when entering specific locations or having stickers on cameras) but here I didn't fully understood the scope.

I saw already lots of comments about Nintendo, but one interesting bit I didn't see yet in comments here is the fact Nintendo just raised base salary.

https://mynintendonews.com/2026/06/26/nintendo-has-raised-it...

Not sure what they'll do (Maybe they'll release Switch2 Lite or Switch 2 OLED in Q2/Q3 2027). but I guess like Apple stopped with Lightning until they finished their transition to USB-C they'll just let the transition work.

No directly related to danger of MSI Center after years of suffering I've removed it.

As my work develop is focused on macOS and Windows apps, I need a Windows laptop and got a light Prestige 13 inch with 32GB and 125H.

It did the trick, but I had years of not understanding how the throttling works. Sometimes if I was using AC and battery was lower than 90% I had CPU throttled at 800Mhz or even 400Mhz never going over 1Ghz. it drove me nuts and my fiddling with MSI Center was always unexpected. I had some strange steps to like connect/disconnect charger, change MSI Center performance settings. none was reliable. (even with Windows Power Settings all the way to max)

Eventually I've found on a reddit thread this (strangely hidden) uninstaller: https://www.msi.com/faq/9934 https://download.msi.com/uti_exe/nb/CleanCenterMaster.zip

Leaving the throttling and fan to Microsoft + Intel seems to do much better work. I no longer look at the task manager for CPU frequency. it just works.

So I have no clue what are the advantages of MSI Center in the first place (maybe bios updating?)

Europe has lots of issues with companies. It's not just Germany.

And the EU knows, hopefully it will improve the situation: https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2026/03/18/48-hours-and-1...

Aren't their storage prices so inflated that they could just eat the difference?

Yes but to a point. Like Microsoft raised their Surface series prices. There's internal threshold of what they can tolerate before raising prices.

You can see the price and trend here: https://www.pcpartpicker.com/trends/price/memory/

Yet, remember that costs are more complex with currencies and shipping prices.

I wonder how dramatic it is within latin languages. as you mentioned on macOS you only use latin typesets. For those things most annoying are spelling mess ups, but I mostly use English keyboard and long press when I need to write things like papanaşi (ro) or buñuelos (es). (but I get those red dotted lines).

I'm not sure I've understood it correctly.

So, basically the model didn't agree to expose possible vulnerabilities but agree to patch those?

Regardless of the request to take Fable 5 down. Why is requesting the model to show vulnerabilities is being blocked if fixing it not? is it based on the assumption of the intention?

I don't quite get the benefit of limiting it. So if anyone can explain it better it'll be appreciated.

I see an id based ability suggesting `modelId`. but in current docs I cannot find any context to it. The other limit is that it suggests Swift Packages. but I'm not seeing any model management hints similar to Docker/Ollama/etc where:

- Application can ask for specific model, if available use it. if not, ask to download it (or try some fallback / alternative)

- User can manage models. So as a user I can clean unused models (and for non-techie have something similar to offloading apps when unused for some period of time).

Who’s “you guys” a developer from Bay Area? A student with a MacBook Neo? Or John Appleseed who bought basic iPhone 17e?

While I'm happy with Apple introducing this abstraction. my main concern was with local models.

I'd love using Gemma4 as an example. but thinking of a user. if 10 Apps each uses same model and downloads it, the phone will be bloated.

I still didn't understand if Apple provided a way for multiple apps uses same on-device model (without tricky namespaces and permissions).

I didn't see anything suggesting that's the case.

English nor Latin characters are my native language. My language is also written from right-to-left.

So if it was broadly used and what charset used by a reasonable amount of the population then yeah I’d of course learn it in early age as I had to learn English.

I live now in the EU and want Siri AI but not in that way.

I’m also not happy on how Apple ended up making 3rd party apps available in the EU. I don’t use it as a developer and as a user because it’s designed to work bad and be non profitable.

There was and I can assume still is bad behaving apps on the AppStore, my security and privacy is my right exactly as my right to compromise my privacy…

This petition vibe coded or not isn’t serving my interests of Apple designing balance that allows a user to decide on their device.

In that sense, it’s actually pretty surprising that so much of the world’s population wasn’t able to put their own name, in its native written form, in an email address until just 14 years ago.

Maybe for some internal usages. but imagine someone from a country using different language and characters gives me a card with their email. It's now far less portable for me to use it. Those days, I surely could picture it and find the email most likely getting it right.

But email as means of international communication, like passport, should be readable as possible or it kills its purpose.

Even with ASCII emails I have, I already sometimes struggle to pass them over phone or other methods :)

imagine EU iPhones being imported into US to use with OpenAI or Claude Cowork

That's not the case. it's merely software (exactly like my iPhone 16 lacking the promised AI features claimed at WWDC24).

Anyway as I'm now within the EU with phone I bought before moving to the EU, regional features (or restrictions) depends on the logged in account and device regional settings. Except physical considerations (eSIM design, actual radio transceivers). The hardware is the same thank god.

On one hand they iOS 27 supports iPhone 11 from 2019 but on the watchOS they scrap a device with less than 3 years (as of today)

Framework in general is focused on developers. I think the general target audience is different. So the customization and OS makes a huge difference for a developer. I was excited about the Neo. But the 8GB and storage felt too limiting for development.

For daily / home/office this is where the competition is. And it’s not against the Framework.

In raw experience even with latest Swift Air, Apple has a great device benefiting from their optimized and existing production line.

We’re 5-6 years now from Apple silicon and yet the industry didn’t catch up completely.

Battery life, heat, performance and even arm64 isn’t yet a first class citizen on Linux* or Windows.

(* Linux is mostly power management assuming mobility experience is needed)

TLDR from the post itself.

No:

Colorectal cancer is going up in young people.

Yes:

Various kinds of cancer are going up in later generations. (Definitely at younger ages, possibly at all ages.)

Reminder

This blog endorses colorectal cancer screening. We don’t yet know if colonoscopies are better than other methods of screening (sigmoidoscopy, stool tests), but we do know that screening is better than not screening. When caught early, CRC is highly treatable, often with only surgery (no chemotherapy or radiation) and a return to normal activities within a couple weeks.

Super odd make productivity useless

Mail and shipping is tedious to begin with. Recently I've sent some hoodies and shirts to colleagues.

Everything is within the EU.

For sending few shirts I ended up paying about EUR20 each just for shipping! (I've wanted to ensure it gets to their house and not a pickup point).

Initially I've went with regular post office, but they've wanted so many documents I've used a 3rd party shipping company.

It always ends with compliance and regulations which shipping companies are being (and charging you) for.

It's crazy that things from china can come at ridiculous price or Amazon in specific region/countries and they 'hacked the system'.

We also had similar headache when my wife forgot her bag (with her work laptop!) on a train to the airport back home while visiting my parents in our home country. The bag was found and my parents took it. but sending it ended up being so complex we eventually found someone kind enough to travel with it. (or you need to have so complex procedures just to explain why it shouldn't be taxed as it's YOUR equipment).

TL;DR - personal shipping is broken. it might be cheaper to visit a friend in Uganda and give him the laptop in person.

I see a lot of discourse but without much context. With HN, I'd expect people to have more context than bashing what feels more politics than reviewing a banned or censored (still need more context).

All I can find which isn't enough (at least for me), to have an educated conclusion is the following:

Tweet re-tweeting Ahmed Shihab-Eldin:

"After weeks of trying to regain access to my @instagram account, which was temporarily suspended by @accessnow while I was wrongfully detained, I FINALLY got a backup code which allowed me to login only to receive this prompt that my account has been permanently disabled"

Access Now - that I can understand works for human rights. https://www.accessnow.org/about-us/

English Wikipedia:

"On March 3, 2026, Shihab-Eldin was detained by Kuwaiti authorities for resharing news articles about the Iran war;[13][17] the previous day, he had posted images of a U.S. fighter jet crashing over the country.[18] The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) reported that he had not been seen publicly in Kuwait, where he was visiting family, since March 2, and that he was under arrest over accusations of "spreading false information," "harming national security" and "misusing his mobile phone;"[13][19] the incident occurred as part of a wider wave of crackdowns targeting journalists across different Gulf states amid the war."

Then mentioning his Kuwaiti citizenship was revoked on 29th of April 2026 and earlier some implicit hint? he was released. (though he's American born so I can assume he also has a US Citizenship unless he gave it away at some point)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmed_Shihab-Eldin

https://www.ahmedshihabeldin.com/

I see he has been a journalist and activist over the years within context of the Middle East.

But if someone have more details about why he was blocked it would be much more helpful to understand this story.

I'm not sure why people struggle with the fact that an abstraction can be built on top of a non-deterministic and stochastic system. Many such abstractions already exist in the world we live.

It depends on what's the abstraction.

Using LLM for coding is 'abstracting' the developer, adding extra layer that can produce code. But it's not abstraction layer of the code itself.

In comparison to other 'changes' Apple usually do those one are realistic. Dropping deprecated networking practices that worth upgrading (meaning, if you already have newer macOS clients mostly with apple stack, update your servers)

I just hope they won't break anything they don't need to break (which is more concerning usually) and that they won't drop other things that do make sense to keep until transitioned properly (eg. OpenGL as one example)

I think it's a step into a future of proper Model API. But it's just a small step. It reminds me of Apple's Foundation Models [1]

While many AI integrations are focused on text communication / chat style. A lot of software benefits from non-text interfaces.

I believe at some point OSes and browsers should provide an API to manage models so you'll have access to on-device/remote ones with a simplified interface for the app. Making something standardized that is cross-platform would be fantastic. It also needs to be on mobile devices, so the players that can easily make it happen are mostly Apple and Google. (Meta will follow or vice-versa I guess)

Key-point: it shouldn't be exclusive to promoted models.

(1) https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundationmodels So the app would be able to query and get the right model(s).

The age of AI seems to forget some lessons from Google (and history in general).

- Rapid changes hurts the trust of your brand and product. In Google case, using a new service product became something you’ll think multiple times as you are more likely to axe it than rivals or specialized equivalents.

- While models currently has no clear winner. Anthropic’s core product is coding. But just as Skype, IE, Netscape their can always be another game changer you cannot count.

- The Pro plan is already limited for true agentinc workflows. The limits now are so bad that a business that relies on it would need bigger plans.

- Anthropic is already in a delicate situation where many devs are frustrated. Dropping or crippling the use even more just means this sector (which I can only assume is a big chunk) would switch to competitors tool that already try to compete.

- Local models, whether as Google sees it “edge” or even further would also take bigger part in the future.
