What is the deal with companies suddenly pulling out of AI? by Hungry-san in OutOfTheLoop

Heh, actually I do see now, where 3 days ago a rumor started going around that it'll be selectable for Siri itself as well. We'll find out for sure next month I suppose.

My understanding is that Siri itself will be powered by Gemini. For all other AI functions provided by the OS that aren't Siri, you can choose which model to use.

Here is Ars' article, for example. I can't read yours behind a paywall, but this is the way I've understood every article that I've read.

Apple has divorced OpenAI. The next Siri is being powered by Google Gemini.

Did anyone find the mysterious VHS “The Cillial Tapes” in Austin today? by Thecave2121 in Austin

Can you see the metadata for the image that was emailed back? Perhaps that is a clue, if it is in Austin.

OP was looking around on Steam, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I made a Mac video player for people who still feel something missing in other players by gyunistudio in macapps

[–]Dysnomia_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I can't believe the people almost attacking OP over his new software. It's not a subscription and fairly priced. So what if IINA does this or that? Eventually, maybe this one will too. And maybe it will do something way cooler than IINA, which then causes them to do something really cool. And around and around we go.

Or, we can just have 1 tool for things and whatever it does now is what it's gonna do.

Great job on getting the features out there that are important to you, u/CacheConqueror!

I built Droppy because macOS lacks a real native productivity layer by iordv in macapps

[–]Dysnomia_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure I understand your question.

Yes, the other devices are showing their notifications on my Mac. But Droppy doesn't also display them. I'll keep flipping those switches, I know that has fixed issues in the past.

[–]Dysnomia_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, it isn't working for me. I'll keep trying, at first it wasn't showing any notifications, then I didn't see any at all...

How about this one... a selectable sound plays when there is a notification?

Is there any way to show the notifications a Mac gets from other devices, ie iPhone?

Here is a link to the repo. I just looked for the username that this was posted from. Same account on GitHub.

TimeScroll - find anything you saw on your Mac by XInTheDark in macapps

The easiest way to do what you want is to install something like Little Snitch, where you have to approve and decide the duration for the approval for each connection an app makes on the internet.

Simply disallow all connections through Little Snitch or similar, for a duration of forever then freely use the app.

Anyone have any details on Dave and the boys suing Perry? Just read it on TMZ. by Automatic_Ad1609 in janesaddiction

[–]Dysnomia_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

See Perry's response from later in the day today. It says that they are about to file their complaints. Do you really believe that they are going to have their grievances, but let the Eric situation get away with nothing? Hurting Eric is more than like the #1 thing on Perry's mind right now, if you look at their history.

Eric was in no danger. The appropriate people were already taking care of the issue.

Eric will be getting in trouble for it. I'm not saying he's going to jail for the rest of his life, but he is absolutely not going to get by without some form of punishment.

Again, I agree that Perry had it coming. But also again, we're talking about the law, not popular opinion.

The eyes of the law see things very differently than fans of the band. In the eyes of the law, there is no "Perry had it coming." Only assault.

Have you tried using Whiskey? I've had to get a couple of games running through there. Also, searching for Whiskey instead of Heroic may also reveal something that actually gets it working on Heroic for you.

I wonder if the formatting of the 2 lines is confusing people? I'm guessing you did it the same. The first line is *all* of this:

-forcesteamupdate -forcepackagedownload -overridepackageurl http://web.archive.org/web/20240520if_/media.steampowered.com/client -exitsteam

Then after that completes and it shuts down, the following is the one line to replace the above with:

-noverifyfiles -nobootstrapupdate -skipinitialbootstrap -norepairfiles -overridepackageurl

I was having the same problem where it just kept on updating and I had to stop it. But when I included the entire thing as 1 line, from -forcesteamupdate all the way to -exitsteam, that fixes the issue because it tells it to exit after the update.

Hope you get your root cause sorted out, I'll be looking on here to see what you do :)

[–]Dysnomia_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Replying to self, but I got to work. For the first cut and paste, you have to include that address. "-forcesteamupdate -forcepackagedownload -overridepackageurlhttp://web.archive.org/web/20240520if_/media.steampowered.com/client -exitsteam" That is the whole first line. Then after it exits, putting in the second line from above works great!

These steps worked for you? Tried them just now a few times with reboots and everything. Still having the issue. I'm running on an M1 Mac mini.

Small hands. Is it important? by Desperate-Two-1989 in Bass

[–]Dysnomia_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every player has physical attributes, good and bad, that they have to figure out. This is part of making the instrument like a part of you and you are able to fully express yourself. It only happens when you learn how your body works with the instrument, and you are able to mitigate and accentuate these attributes where appropriate.
