  1. Ace Combat 11 Cover Art Just Released!
    Sep 19, 2025 · original
    In one of those precious instantaneously rewarding interactions with LLMs… For the past few days, at least, Google s Gemini had been bothering me to try some new image editing function, but I did not relent until this morning, when I thought of a Funny Idea… Retouch this (scan of an old 35mm print) photo *as* a vintage film photo and then turn it into cover art for Ace Combat 11: Go Around. title: Response Absolutely! Here's your retouched photo, transformed into the cover art for Ace Combat 11: Go Around!
  2. Apple Intelligence Interprets the Navy SEAL Copypasta
    Jul 11, 2025 · original
    Of the more humorous potential uses for the upcoming Use Model actions, I think, is this series of tests (all done within the Shortcuts app) of Apple Intelligence's default actions against the Navy SEAL copypasta . It's worth noting that the following was appended to the end of every result: Note: Writing Tools aren’t designed to work with this type of content. Summarize A Navy SEAL threatens violence and retribution against someone who made an online comment, claiming extensive combat training and access to military resources.

    (Some approximation of) versioning is apparently coming to Apple s native password manager in macOS Taho: With Passwords, users can easily reference changes they make to their accounts, including checking previous versions of passwords they save, along with details on when they were changed.

  5. Jia Tolentino on The Cazalet Chronicles for The New Yorker
    Jun 10, 2025 · original
    The Cazalet Chronicles by Elizabeth Jane Howard offers a richly woven narrative of an English family s life amid societal upheaval, yet remains underrated and underappreciated compared to similar literary works.

    Apr 30, 2025 · original
    The Better Web solution for Apple Platforms… in a Good Way. Gourd Bless Kaylee for creating a (more or less) single tap solution to making WebKit browsing tolerable. Recommendable to literally anyone - those paranoid, detail-obsessed folks who care to explore the transparency of Wipr 2 s ongoing development will find the experience pleasant, while most of us can just trust in the (quite rigorous) behind-the-scenes process.

  16. Delta Force App Store Review
    Apr 25, 2025 · original
    Note: I did not play a single frame of this game and uninstalled it immediately upon realizing that it (at least as yet) does not have controller support. I d been eagerly anticipating the idea of this game only the second ever flavor of first person shooter (after the CoDs) to the iOS/iPadOS platform for how many years now? Legitimately, I remember being a younger person when I first preordered the app download. If disappointment wasn t such a hallmark of using life on said platforms throughout their whole history, the fact that Delta Force was published with zero(?) controller support whatsoever would be genuinely offensive. Especially in this title s case, what confuses me most is… I can t figure out why you d bother publishing it at all on iOS/iPadOS - and we all know it can be some bother if you knew it d be touch-only.
