  • I have a friend who is self-employed. He uses an iPhone and a MacBook Air. He only uses iMessage, Numbers, Safari and Apple Music for entertainment. He gets away with 8gb just fine and rarely has to reboot.

    He probably could use a Chromebook or something even lighter, but the support and ecosystem were enough for him to pay the premium. His time is valuable to him so it was worth it to him.

  • 1Blocker has been the best for me, as it works with all of the Apple devices and syncs across them. Another option is to enable reader mode by default on all websites, so instead of getting the site with all of the ads, you'll get a reader view without the ads and distractions.

  • I actually like Apple’s approach to AI more than all of the others. I don’t care for Microsoft’s implementation at all. I just try to avoid Microsoft in general on top of that, so no need to complain about it.

    But I do think Apple’s approach to AI from a privacy and implementation perspective is what I would prefer from a software vendor.

    January 30th, 2024 Speculation Megathread

    OK, hopefully this will actually turn into a megathread... but if you haven't seen it: We're not building a web browser

    Let's speculate! What do you think they will reveal on Jan. 30th, 2024?

    What search engine do you recommend that isn't Google or Bing?

    I'm still trying to de-Google my life, little by little. I don't trust Bing for similar reasons. DDG is feeling shady of late. What's the search engine you all recommend that I can inject into my daily life? Is there perhaps a search engine that is focused on code, or have we just all moved on to AI for searching?

    Edit: I meant to also express my frustration that most browsers do not let you select a "default search engine" that can be used in the address bar aside from 3-5 pre-chosen engines. Seems like 2023 we should be able to customize that to our own liking.

    Edit 2: Thanks for the recommendation of Kagi. I'm going to roll with it for a while. I see they have an extension for Safari that allows them to hijack the address bar, which is just what I needed.

    How is everyone's battery consumption?

    Running the latest Arc 1.13.1, seems like the battery consumption is a bit better than the prior releases. Anyone else noting better performance/consumption?

    This community should be more active

    I was hoping this community would be more active since Reddit has gone the way of the do-do.
