This is copying a similar feature Apple added a while back.

Given androids hardware situation and love for collecting all the data l, I understand why people don’t want to give biometrics to their Android devices.

With the data and access our smartphones have, a numerical pin regardless of length, should not be an option anymore.

I am surprised that neither platform is allowing voice authentication as a biometric. I’m not sure if Google supports it but Siri can already tell who is speaking.


Microsoft and Nvidia are investing but they are both positioned to gain a return on investment by cloud hosting and hardware sales respectively.

Apple dropping out indicates they saw behind the curtain, did the math and realized they can create their own platform for less.

There is no path to profitability for them. Unlike other recent billion dollar tech companies there are no human workers to squeeze. Hardware doesn’t work for less than minimum wattage.


The question he asked to ChatGPT doesn’t seem particularly vague to me. He used various algorithm names and concepts such that all he really asked is “I want a fruit like an apple but not as round” and it responded with “pear”


Yep. It would fork.

Last free version plus mods to add features from paid upgrades.

Personally, I find it a bit weird that games are no longer even done. The only way it can end is enshitifaction.


There it is. You sincerely think Apple users are ignorant of their choice.

Thanks for admitting that openly. I figured it was true but it’s really nice to have it confirmed.


That wasn’t my argument. People are specifically against Apple charging fees. Calling it rent seeking. Steam does the exact same thing. Their profit is primarily from these fees, so either we all agree the fees aren’t the problem or accept it’s anti-Apple sentiment.

Gaming systems have this same lack of choice but at least for Apple, you can move to an EU country and you now have this choice. We’ll see how that plays out.

Apple users know what they are doing when they purchase the device same as consumers know what they are doing when they purchase a ps5 rather than a computer.


Apple charges 15-30% fee to sell games built on their platform: 🤮greedy bastards 🤮

Stream charges 30% to sell games on their platform: 😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍

Edit: Downvotes without rebuttal prove my point.


You refuse to accept you could be mistaken in anyway and therefore you can only assume I am mistaken. There is nothing I say, random internet stranger to random internet stranger that could ever cause you to see this any other way.


You’re the one joyfully riding Google’s dick.

You thinking Apple is the same as Google only benefits Google. You’ve allowed yourself to be the whore. Lashing out at me is just your way of rationalizing your whorish ways to calm your choice.

Arguing with people who choose Google as fervently have displayed is as futile as arguing with a Trump support, both are using emotion rather than logic and will not accept that anyone is capable of doing otherwise.


No, that would allow someone to take over the device.

However, it does wake up to whatever app was last running so the difference is likely semantic.

Mine are always in the Plex app, even on TVs that have Plex apps because they cannot return to the exact same Plex screen.

It’s weird that people are dropping hundreds or thousands on a tv only to cheap out on the device they are presumably using to stream their pirated content.

I have Apple TVs that have outlived their original TVs. From what I’m reading here many people are on their third or fourth chrome cast. Silly.


Pretty sure you’re already riding Google’s dick because a new Apple TV can be had for $129.

As long as you’re willing to ride their dick over paying the price of true ownership and/or you’re blind hatred of Apple, you’ll always be Google’s little bitch.


The actual razor in that case; incompetent malice.

They think their platform is unique - incompetence.

They think this users are morons to be milked - malice.

Eventually the second part becomes true as the intelligent users realize the first is not l, leaving only morons who are easily milked.
