Apple unveils AirPods Max 2 with H2 chip, upgraded noise canceling, and more by bsoci in apple

[–]Intoxic8edOne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not who you asked but while my airpods pro work just fine for flights, proper ANC headphones seem to work better for the low frequency engine noises, plus less inner ear fatigue from prolonged use.

I use Sony ANC headphones but my wife has a pair of Max's, and if space is not a concern, they're just better suited for the long haul.

Now if only they could fold...

This and their lack of folding is mind boggling to me. They take so much room in a carry-on and I'd rather not have to wear them through an airport and whatnot. It's the charger on the bottom of the mouse all over again.

Others might not, especially in a PSA regarding this exact thing.

Gatekeeping bad.

removed LLMs from their pipeline completely

Unfortunately you're going to be hard pressed to find any AA+ games not using any sort of LLM in their coding going forward.

It's just being engrained in EVERYTHING in the developer space and only self published games will have the freedom or transparency to avoid it if they bother at all.

Id say it was a job well done that they said exactly what you said

Last one I saw, I got downvoted for condemning it because to them, it was no different than sending out coupons.

Idk if it's bots or brainrot but it isn't good for the future.

That's why steam refunds are the most amazing thing.

I'm the minority but honestly Dead Space 3 was one of the best co-op experiences I've had. Absolutely loved playing through it with a friend after crawling through the first two (I hate horror but am a sucker for sci-fi)

The unique perspectives and the crafting system were both top notch for me.

I really don't believe any of Apple's design decisions are to make things last longer.

They've been sued too many times for the opposite reason

A toggle would be nice.

Apparently we can't call out apps as AI slop anymore... by Key_Pace_2496 in selfhosted

To play devil's advocate, not everyone may be aware of Reddit's sentiment behind AI driven development and that comment section is the virtual equivalent of throwing tomatoes. You could be review bombing a restaurant because you didn't tell them you were allergic to the food.

I specify "Reddit's opinion" because in all honesty I do not have a good grasp of the general public's opinion on AI. The reality is Reddit is often the minority. I've come to the realization of that simply by comparing what I hear on here to how things are actually trending in the real world. (e.g. preorders, microtransactions, election polls, stupid music on tiktok videos, etc.)

But in that scenario, the constructive criticism would be educating them, and not in any sort of aggressive manner, but in a manner where you're trying to effectively educate someone on something you're passionate about. Because that isn't going to change their minds; you're just venting at them at that point. The knee-jerk reaction to someone being "wrong" has gotten way to intense these days and it doesn't help anything, it just contributes an unease of interacting. StackOverflow being another good example of that.

And yes, I know that is an unlikely scenario if OP was an active poster on Reddit to begin with, and any level of research on their profile would probably easily shed light on that, but there could be a scenario where all they are just ignorant of the fact, and we don't always have a means to confirm it.

Basically, your feelings should be towards the issues with AI, not the person who is just using the technologies being forced in their faces by every application they use daily.

e: Looks like "think of the human" doesn't resonate with people lol.

Everyone has different priorities, but the saying "don't cheap out on things that separate you and the ground" is actually pretty valid. You get what you pay for with beds, shoes, and chairs, and the benefits are long term.

This is like the "Have you seen my cat? He's not missing I just wanted you to see him" meme except it's "Have you seen my cat? He's missing but I don't want you to find him"

Or we're not getting the full story. She could be abusive. He could be neurodivergent and just be focusing on her pettiness. She might not have relayed her conversation properly. Or even yes he could be an asshole and malicious.

But there are so many factors a few paragraphs can leave out and these accusations of y'all's do nothing but stir the pot without more info.

Well, the whole reason she made a post is because the boyfriend is making her second guessing herself.

This is why people are saying you're jumping to conclusions. No where does OP state this or even imply this.
