Owning a given .com seems to instill a sense of authority on the matter for branding purposes. I don't think it has the same effect like back in the 90's where people may have just guessed at domain names to find something in lieu of a search engine, or like AOL Keywords, but they still do have a bit of prestige and seem to signal some kind of trust on the matter to most.
That being said, nowadays it just doesn't end at a generic TLD, and just by way of owning ai.com they are not going (or expecting) to suddenly see huge influxes of users and traffic... but used in conjunction with ad spots that call out ai.com it's a lot easier to start positioning that authority.
When I think karaoke, I think microphone. It appears this makes no use of a microphone or captures the singer's vocals in any way, it just isolates the instrumental tracks and eliminates or reduces the vocal track.
A microphone (and ideally having your own vocals mixed with the audio output) is the core feature of karaoke, not playing an instrumental version of the song.
And yet most media coverage I can find of the Apple Music Sing release uses the word karaoke to describe it, thinking that will be clear to their readers. I would feel safe saying your opinion is a minority one.
But this has become a pretty silly "debate".
Me, I'm still curious why Apple did not use the word karaoke, and do not myself think it's becuase they don't think people will consider it karaoke, but I understand you do, cool.
Singing with something doesn't imply anything about capture. It's just saying that I can sing along to songs without the original vocal while I'm washing the dishes in the kitchen or whatever.
I would be shocked if the new Outlook was Electron and not WebView2. Is there any confirmation on that or is Electron the new "Rollerblade" and "Band-aid" for wrappers?
Well, that's one very opinionated take.
Yes, it's still web-based, but the parent's point is that it uses the WebView2 that comes with Windows instead of maintaining and shipping a separate Electron instance. That ought to be a net positive in any case.
OK, so Microsoft copy pasted the Chromium codebase, made some minor changes, built it, then include that build with Windows.
How is that any better than the current situation? Its actually worse, since now that version will get old quite fast, unless Microsoft decides to also do forced updates like Google does.
> How is that any better than the current situation?
The main benefits are that the apps should be faster, smaller, and use less resources as they don't include the whole of Electron (Chrome) with each one. So ideally massively less resource usage as so much is shared.
Running VS Code and Teams at the same time, for instance, would ideally use around half of the resources (a naive guess but you see the point).
As you allude to, though, it relies on MS keeping it updated but I would hope they take that seriously as if it takes off then one late update leaves multiple apps vulnerable. It remains to be seen.
I think after about a week, the Windows Search Index goes to work. I only noticed it because it caused my mouse cursor to go from pointer to hourglass every 2 seconds. Went on for about 3 or 4 days.
There's not much you can confirm over the phone, except the account PIN and sometimes security hint. But an attacker can pretend to have forgotten it and press that the matter is urgent. If the attacker knows enough about the person, they might be able to convince an agent to make the swap so the agent can:
1) Get on with their day to maybe hit a support request quota
2) Make sure this person doesn't give them a bad customer satisfaction score
It appears that RealityKit is going to be that replacement to SceneKit. In the Apple forums, Apple engineers/employees are pushing RealityKit in nonAR camera mode as a multithreaded SceneKit replacement.
Yea, there's a lot of sites that take advantage of this like The Christian Post who target high search keywords for their "news" that has no relevance to the actual term.
Search for "Stream NFL games" and "Watch NFL football online free" and other variants and see them pop up for everything with no mention of actually streaming games online (obviously).
