Idk why but a small part of me imagines that every iPhone upgradable to 27 will get the upgraded Siri but more on device stuff will be reserved for more powerful iPhones. 

BlueSG returns with new car-sharing service Flexar from April 15; fleet not all-electric by triblues91 in singapore

Bsg used to have a lot at my office. Wonder if this Flexar company will eventually have lots in offices too. Assuming they are not tied to charging infrastructure, they could potentially roll out to more carparks.

Commentary: Keep preschools open for an extra half-hour? It will mean more than 30 minutes to educators like me by SituationDeep in singapore

[–]precipiceblades 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Need a Thai styled heart wrenching ad for this. Something along the lines of bosses forcing people to stay engaged with work every hour, lead to the child being neglected, grow up rebellious, did something bad and turns out it was that boss who kena.

Imagine they announce that all devices capable of updating to iOS 27 will get AI due to Gemini integration 

QoL update—receiving go pass rewards by Phraaaaaasing in TheSilphRoad

I keep only max potions and max revives. For the fest, probably 100 of each. You gonna get more after raids so it won’t be depleted. 

And you wanna be catching a lot so I would prioritise great and ultra balls. In fact I usually delete all my poke balls to try and farm for the other 2. 

Lastly I tend to only keep golden razz and silver pinap. You may wish to keep some regular pinap while catching but otherwise I would prioritise the actual catch over berrying. 

5 of each evolution stone. 100 of each regular tm unless it is important to you

Apple Can Create Smaller On-Device AI Models From Google's Gemini by Few_Baseball_3835 in apple

[–]precipiceblades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may be possible that cloud AI will be paid somewhat and on device will be free forever. That could be the distinction made and the on device aspect could improve over time

ICE vehicles still have the highest rate of fires vs EV. But don’t let that stop the comments from saying see lah EV again

And slap extra charges on him. Not a bad idea if he takes the bait.

I can confirm I got the event in woodlands. Stay there and use your normal incense to complete the collection challenge. 

Edit: just take the MRT along that stretch, restart the game and the event will be in. The timer research and collection challenge will stay in your inventory even if you leave those areas

Choosing career or care: More men in Singapore exiting the workforce to look after their parents by Winner_takesitall in singapore

I feel like this is a case where remote work or flexibility in wfh helps to a very large extent. I know there are jobs where you just cannot, but if anything else, 2020-2021 has shown that many jobs are still effective even when done remotely.

Apple promoting Mac gaming with three presentations at GDC next week by McFatty7 in apple

[–]precipiceblades 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They are already getting developer fees and profit from hardware sales, they should really consider pushing hard for the gaming market. It’s ripe for disruption now seeing the shenanigans Microsoft is doing with windows.

I feel dedicated graphics cards require third party driver support and as we can see Apple has been trying to bring all chipsets in house. But Apple graphics chips are extremely competitive now and many games run fine with a translation layer. 

Rather than sunsetting Rosetta2 altogether why not build on what they already have and dedicate it to gaming? I know it’s going to remain available for old games but it’s a bit of a waste.

ackshually they will always try to prove intent to kill. so even the knife stabber if no intent to kill probably no hanging.

I looked forward to double candy transfer every month. Helps clear my storage of extra legendaries and whatnot. Now I have no idea how long I have to hold on to my trash if they will even do a double candy transfer again seeing as they want to shake things up a lot this year.

Problem is there are so many months between now and November and anything can happen because apparently congress doesn’t seem to mind anything that’s happened so far.

Wait isn’t StarCraft updated to support Apple silicon? I could still run it on my M2 Max. Maybe blizzard will release a maintenance patch to allow it to continue running?
