Like for example: I don't know, sometimes I'm cooking for my partner. Do they hear a one-sided conversation between me and the "Live AI" about what to do first, how to combine the ingredients? Without the staged demo's video-casting, this would have been the demo: a celebrity chef talking to himself like a lunatic, asking how to start.
I think this is one of those things that society just adapts to. Some people will be in the kitchen talking to "themselves" but that's okay, people understand why. My Mom would often talk to herself when cooking anyway. She was a verbal processor. You just get used to it and eventually it doesn't seem weird anymore.
That’s fine. I cook. I’ve got my AirPods in listening to music and talk to an iPad with my recipe on it to set timers and the like. And sometimes I talk to my Dutch oven because it has feelings.
Voice control makes a lot of sense in cooking because my hands are messy. I’m just not sure what the glasses are for that could be fun or helpful while cooking. The demo video is… amusing but also wrong, because you’d need to have the recipe before you setup your ingredients.
I tried cooking with a Vision Pro. It was nice to throw up the recipe above the prep area, hovering, so I could prep and check off without messing up a book or print a copy just for single use.
I also liked throwing up a timer above each pot so it was simple to glance at the stove and see how long each pot had on it.
But the Vision Pro is bulky, hot, and heavy. I wouldn't try it again. I could imagine giving it another go with glasses, but I wouldn't be using the AI part of it.
The glasses could present a recipe as actions needing to be taken in the field of view, instead of as a bulletpoint list in a book. And the glasses could use the video stream from the glasses to improve help an AI may give during cooking.
Then again, I don't see myself using them. I also cook and I'd rather just internalize processes and recipes, and something like this would make it way too easy to just rely on the glasses to "know" everything.
There’s already reason to be suspicious of conflicts of interest with TrumpRx, the senators note. There’s a “potential relationship between TrumpRx and an online dispensing company, BlinkRx, on whose Board the President’s son, Donald Trump, Jr., has sat since February 2025,” the senators write.
Hasn't the issues always been related to remote Time Machine? I have a usb drive I use and haven't heard of any issues with that setup. Am I missing something?
In the past, I've heard recommendations not to use remote Time Machine over SMB directly, but rather to create an APFS disk image on a remote server and then backup to that as if its an external hard drive.
Supposedly, doing that eliminates a lot of the flakiness specific to SMB Time Machine, and while I haven't tested it personally, I have used disk images over SMB on macOS Tahoe recently, and they actually work great (other than the normal underlying annoyances of SMB that everyone with a NAS is mostly used to at this point).
The new ASIF format for disk images added in Tahoe actually works very well for this sort of thing, and gives you the benefits of sparse bundle disk images without requiring specific support for them on the underlying file system.[1][2] As long as you're on a file system that supports sparse files (I think pretty much every currently used file system except FAT32, exFAT, and very old implementations of HFS+), you get almost native performance out of the disk image now. (Although, again, that's just fixing the disk image overhead, you still have to work around the usual SMB weirdness unless you can get another remote file system protocol working.)
I tried moving to NFS, but the level of complexity of NFS auth is just comical. I gave up after trying to set up a Kerberos server on the Synology that I was trying to access. It's too much.
Using unauthenticated NFS, even on a local network, is too dodgy imo.
I lose my Time Machine drive, like, every year or two.
Sometimes, Time Machine just goes stupid and I have to wipe the drive and start over. All of my efforts in the past to copy or repair or do anything to a Time Machine drive has ended in folly, so when it starts acting up, I just wipe it and start anew.
Other times, it's the drive itself, and I swap it out.
99% of the time, it Just Works. Wiping the drive for me is more annoying than catastrophic (99.9999% of the time I don't care about my 18 month old data). It's mostly for local catastrophic fat fingering on my part, and to make sure I have a solid back up after I do a OS update. I have BackBlaze for "Why is there 5 feet mud in my burning house" scenarios.
Outside of that, I've always been able to recover from it.
My wife has a SSD drive she plugs into her laptop for TM backup. That machine at most makes laps around the house, so its not that big of a deal for her.
The "right" way to toggle Little Snitch is to toggle the filter. If you have the Little Snitch menu bar active, click on it and the icon in the very top right is "Filter". Click on it and it unloads the filter from the networking stack, click on it again to re-add the filter to the network stack.
But his precise objectives remain unclear. Speaking at the premiere of the documentary Melania, the US president told reporters Iran had to do “two things” to avoid military action. “Number one, no nuclear. And number two, stop killing protesters,” saying that “they are killing them by the thousands”.
