Yeah, it requires an A17 or M1 or higher.

Also, the beta for this is likely end of summer. So that would mean GM builds will probably be targeting the iPhone 16 launch.

Alternative title. “Picture of Craig”

Said another way, Apple sells more smart phone hardware than any other phone manufacturer on the planet. Samsung being a strong second place at 24% of the world.

No one was able to reproduce that. That claim of seeing others photos was from a Reddit user who deleted the post.

Meh. It seems inoffensive, and if it gets shortened to “AI,” then it’s pretty appropriate.

I’ll take it over “Bard powered by Gemini Nano”

Thanks Dee!

@thisisdee@lemmy.ml, this stickied post could probably use some love, or you might just want to remove the sticky pin. Some of these Apps no longer exist. Example: Memmy.

You may want to hit up Apple’s discussion forum on at Apple.com. Unfortunately this community is pretty small, and quick replies for tech support are hard to get.

I’ve been waiting for 40+ years for Apple to make something cheap.

If we’re doing Lego stuff, I want the old gum drop iMac

This is the apple_enthusiast community. Enthusiasts have Lego sets for all sorts of things for stuff the like. Why should liking a tech thing be any different?

To access all the extra MX mouse features that go above and beyond what a basic mouse has. MacOS supports a basic 2 button + scroll wheel mouse just fine, but the MX has other features.

$10, supports a independent dev. Seems worth it.

That’s not how lossless compression works. No data is lost.

For example, if you zip a folder of images, then unzip them, the pictures come out with their original sizes and structure. Zip is lossless.

Let’s use the analogy of a dish sponge.

Let’s pretend you wanted to make a dish sponge smaller. Lossy compression would make the sponge smaller by cutting off parts and throwing them away. Lossless would make it smaller by squish the sponge, and it would return to its normal shape once you stopped squishing it.

There is lossless compression. Not saying that’s the cause of the varied number, but it is a common thing.

Weird. I’d bet money on syncing issues, compression, etc. But who knows, if you have a Mac you can rebuild the library, let that sync, and see what happens.

Given the rarity of this, it could’ve just been the normal random stuff that happens in computer land. Requests that don’t complete because they were interrupted by a crash, the rare bad block, etc. Or maybe it was just a bug that occasionally reared its head under certain circumstances.

Whatever it was, it wasn’t the first time a piece of software had an index that was messed up and out of sync with the stored files.

As for the iPhone storage thing you mentioned, I don’t know what you’re talking about. There was a IOS 17 bug early on where people mentioned that the OS needed a restart to claw back space from temporary install files and caches.

That said, the corrupted DB we’re talking about appears specific to the photos app. It’s not the file system index. It’s basically a glorified preference file.

Media library apps have been doing this kind of stuff forever. An index of the files + metadata allows for a better and more performant experience. But, if an entry in the DB gets pooched, file remains on the drive and is hidden from the user.

Many media library apps actually have a way to repair and or rebuild the library DB if it gets out of sync or corrupted. iTunes straight up put that feature in the menu bar. The Photos app will do it if you launch the app while holding command-option.

Back when iPods were king, how many of us had old music come back to life after a fucked up iTunes library was rebuilt? It’s kind of a similar issue.

Yes. I’m referring to the encryption standard and I’m saying the photos stored in the cloud service are E2EE.

People were claiming Apple was secretly keeping deleted photos in the cloud. Which was what my parent comment was about.
