I don’t see this mentioned anywhere but Safari on iOS already does this. If you try to access a local network endpoint you’ll be asked to allow it by Safari, and the permission is per-site.

Marketing is the manipulation of people for gain. Sounds like a great fit for AI.

Um, as someone who just released a product, and has no experience with marketing, I see marketing as "connecting people to solutions to their problems".

That does require the initial premise that the underlying product is actually a solution, which isn’t necessarily true. Marketing’s just a tool that can be applied.

If one was marketing something like a scam or even just something useless, for instance, I’d say it’s still marketing even though there’s no solution present.

Of course, under that same reasoning, “manipulation of people for gain” also isn’t necessarily accurate.

I think it's more like convincing people to buy a solution for a problem they did not know they had.

yep. This is HN’s biggest flaw.

ah this takes me back. Thanks ;)

I dunno about lying; it used to be true in the Intel age so it might simply be a matter of their information being out of date.

imo the perfect small laptop has to have full-size keys and thus be at least ~11x5".

That rules out all iPads below the 12.9" due to their tall aspect (even in landscape).

The 11" MBA was ~12x8" and so darn near the minimum you could make it. ~11x7" should be doable but 2" is a pretty small trackpad.

imo the latest MBAs are more or less perfect: a great tradeoff of overall size vs. trackpad size. Although I actually preferred the tapered design of the M1.

Same, also greatly preferred its heatsink vs the redesign which doesn't seem to handle the M2/M3 nearly as well.

From the title I wasn't sure if they were even found

The article mentions the display controller runs an Apple OS so I could see there being a secure way for an exclave to call into it for the onscreen indicators.

I would expect that to mean they're not included in screenshots so I'm curious now whether that's true for the iPhone 16.

heh my friend and I (young teens at the time) used to wire photoresistors into the analog in pins on the joy port. We put the sensors in toilet paper tubes on one side of a hallway with small lights across from them and wrote BASIC code that would turn on a light via the annunciator outputs when change was detected.

Then we’d see if we could sneak down the hall undetected, Mission Impossible style. I never noticed the detection speed varying with light level but I guess it did!

I’ve been full-timing it on iOS lately and yeah, pretty buggy. It comes with uBlock but doesn’t seem to work, and neither does bookmark/fave syncing.
