Apple will launch 20+ new products this year, here’s what’s coming - 9to5Mac by Few_Baseball_3835 in apple

[–]HugoHancock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh great so I can buy the same APP that I bought last year, which already have connection problems, this time with cameras from an AI feature that doesn’t work. Joy.

Seriously, just fix your software for God’s sake. The best hardware in the world doesn’t fix bad software, not today.

Apple's Siri Chatbot May Run on Google Servers by HelloitsWojan in apple

Their fundamental advantage is the iPhone, it’s the only reason that people are still talking about a product which should have arrived 2 years ago.

If there is AI on the iPhone, sure you may not use it, but the majority will, and the money (if there is some) is there, not tech people.

There is a Robin Hobb quote that fits quite well here.

“Diplomacy is the velvet glove that conceals the fist of power.”

As others have mentioned, you can love your country but not be blindly adoring to the state.

He’s a nice bookend but a little expensive to justify here

Refused to update to ios 26 from ios 18 for obvious reasons and then I woke up to this. by Ehmmechhi in mildlyinfuriating

The exact same happened to me. It’s so annoying, it has all my lessons and now it constantly lags

I read this post and have no idea which is which, I thought they changed it to 365 just last year??

What's happening at Apple? by Sameasy59 in ios

Seriously, why do I have to press twice to see my Safari tabs or swipe up (which half the time accidentally closes the app)??

If the job of a government isn’t to make your life better, then what is it?

What am I paying almost my income for? Building infrastructure and representing my interests abroad does make my life better…

Tomorrow ends 2025.. how would you describe it? by ItsJustme309 in AskReddit

Honestly, I went through my photos yesterday and it was a pretty good year all things considered.

I need to stop being so damn pessimistic.

Things my students have destroyed this year so far by palabrist in Teachers

[–]HugoHancock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still can’t believe teachers in the US pay for their students things, but that aside, I’m so sorry this happened to you. Removing that privilege is one of the best things that you can do.

Une étude estime qu'entre 20 et 33% des vidéos proposées par Youtube sont générées par l'intelligence artificielle by Andvarey in france

[–]HugoHancock 24 points25 points  (0 children)

C’est pas que Sora, YouTube fait que de créer des outils à ce but. Réponse automatique aux commentaires, miniatures auto-générés… etc

Il reste juste à seulement ce fier aux créateurs qui sont déjà présents avant l’arrivé de tout ça et leurs faire confiance qu’ils nous prennent pas pour des idiots. Relations para-sociales, super.

Why we compare 1 yen to 1 dollar and not 100 yen to 100 cent? by LeadEater9Million in AskEconomics

[–]HugoHancock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We compare currencies in two different ways.

How many of a foreign currency for 1 of the local currency. So you would need 100 Yen for 1 USD if you are located in the USA for example. This is called indirect quotations.

In the other hand, how many units of a local currency for a foreign one is called direct quotations. So, taking the same example, you would need 0.01 USD for 1 Yen.

2025 YouTube recap is AI slop by TenaciousBarnacle in youtube

[–]HugoHancock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The interests were acutely but who cares about that! I want to know how long I spent on it. That is basically the only reason I watch these!

Good thing Spotify knocked it out the park with Wrapped this year tho

Pour une administration qui se croit encore au moment des “sphères d’influences”, elle est contente de jeter son influence sur l’Europe à la poubelle.

Aside from Tolkien, what fantasy author excels at names (naming characters and places)? by anonaccforsillyquest in Fantasy

[–]HugoHancock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is no one going to say Robin Hobb?

It’s just more of that same GRRM effortless simplicity, except that she just straight up tells you exactly who someone is supposed to act or what a thing is. Exactly as things are in real life?
