It's a nightmare scenario for Microsoft.

You know how Google's new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won't slide off (pssst...please don't do this.)...
If its job is to write a fan fic on what may or may not be true on what you asked for, then it does a great job. But typically people search for information, and getting what is essentially a glorified auto complete isn't useful. It's like big tech has learned nothing about the massive issue of disinformation and just added fuel to the fire to an unsolved problem we're still very much trying to figure out.
In a collaborative effort, Apple and Google have developed an industry-standard detection feature called "Detecting Unwanted Location Trackers" (DULT) for Bluetooth trackers. This standard allows users on iOS and Android devices to be alerted if an unknown Bluetooth tracker is monitoring their location.
You can go to an instance that follows your views closer and start blocking instances that post low quality content to you. Lemmy is a protocol, it's not a single community. So the moderation and post quality is going to be determined by the instance you're on and the community you're with.
I've literally only made millions off of crypto. Of course this is the Internet and I don't need to verify me making shit up, but I will continue to say so because otherwise my feelings will get hurt. If you uplemmy this comment I will send you one trillion Bitcoin, real!

I'm kinda glad that my ears are not good enough to tell the difference between high end audio quality that I've never had to mess with enthusiast software like that. Ignorance is bliss.
You intentionally fail the biometrics a few times so it locks the device and requires the pin/password. From there it depends on the country. In the US, they can't force you to give up a password, but they can force biometrics. If your country doesn't legally protect you then there's no software measure that can't protect you at that point.
While that's the strongest security option in that situation, it might cause more problems if they are forcing you to unlock your phone in front of them and you're being observed. Same issue with the lockdown feature. Failing the fingerprint intentionally is invisible to the hostile observer and let's you feign ignorance as to why you phone got locked.
New development policy: code generated by a large language model or similar technology (e.g. ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot) is presumed to be tainted (i.e. of unclear copyright, not fitting NetBSD's licensing goals) and cannot be committed to NetBSD....
LLM coding AI is a really useful tool, not enshitification. They're also entirely optional. Way different then shoving it into random products and services without consent.

That's all essential in modern development and to see how to target what people are actually using. Though I don't like it either and it should be a simple single button opt out, or even an opt in.
On raw performance might, the M4 really does live up to Apple’s promises, should deliver. Single core is up about 20% compared to all M3 chips and more than 40% compared to M2. The generational computational leap from the previous M2 iPad Pro is at least a 42% jump on single-core and multi-core.
