How? It's all on machine. Which is the point.

That people still put sensitive information into cloud based AIs still boggles my mind.

And this right here is why I think Apple should have renamed the new stuff to something else. Go into Settings/Siri, enable Apple Intelligence (you will probably have to join the waitlist), give it a day or two to re-index and then try.

I think you will be astonished at the difference in behavior. It's night and day.

Did you go into Siri and join the waitlist for Apple Intelligence?

If not, you’re still using spotlight so the behavior is 100% expected.

Yes, Apple could do a better job making it more obvious but then again Apple Intelligence is Beta so I can see why they require a positive action right now to enable it.

Yes - if Cities were so inherently attractive why did so many willingly flee them during the pandemic and not return?

If Apple hadn't adopted USB for the iMac, especially the fruity colored iMacs, which then spawned hundreds if not thousands of brightly colored accessories, who knows if it ever would have taken off on the PC side of things. I still see the occasional motherboard with a PS/2 port :p

My favorite were SCSI network adapters and SCSI "graphics cards". Ah, the days before USB!

Based on what? The receiver knows where it is since it has GPS. Starlink knows the orbits of their own satellites. Why wouldn't they queue up connections to upcoming satellites and then hand off from one to the next in anticipation of the one you are on eventually rotating out?

What's up with the apparent assumption they only track one satellite at a time or until there is a communication problem? That would be stupid (and why they obviously don't do that).

How the heck did I not know this existed? Thanks!

A fossil fuel fire can be extinguished by snuffing it. By a fire extinguisher if it's caught small enough, or by a fire department with sufficient quantities of water.

Lithium Ion battery fires are self sustaining. Like with thermite, they produce their own oxidizer - they can't be snuffed. You might be able to flood one and cool it to the point where it self extinguishes (creating a flood of heavy metal contaminated water), use special equipment to drown it, or just let it burn itself out (spewing toxic gasses and at least three times the heat of petroleum fires) but once they are going, they are far more of a disaster than other kinds of common fires.

And even if put out they can re-ignite later forcing salvage yards to keep them physically isolated; causing all kinds of follow on problems that don't exist with traditional vehicles or other battery tech.

As others noted, this study did NOT explore these follow on effects, which is unfortunate. Perhaps they really aren't as bad as they appear - it would be nice to see them studied as well.

This. Otherwise why would have Dell sold VMWare to Broadcom in the first place?

And you will pay more. Local gas station beats Costco by $0.10 a gallon if you pay cash. Which I happily do.
