I don't know why there's all this talk about putting cellular in MacBooks. Tethering between macOS and iPhone is practically seamless and even to Android it's not difficult. Where are people going with their laptop and not their phone?

They did stiffen the hinge:

"In addition, a newly designed hinge provides greater stability while using Touch, and advanced video stabilization automatically smooths the camera feed in real time while using Touch on a video call."

Right below the blue Download Now button, it says "Available on Windows too" but then in a box hovering at the bottom of the window, it says "CopyTap is only available for MacOS Desktop." Which is it?

The AI features in DaVinci Resolve are all processed locally. It does not currently have face tagging.

What this article and the comments here miss, is that the current system is already working optimally for the people it benefits. That's why it hasn't improved and why it won't improve.

The ruling class doesn't want the general population to be well educated critical thinkers. They want them to have just enough education to perform exploitable labor and engage in unquestioning consumption. They want them easy to manipulate and control. They want their children away from home all day so more parents can work instead of staying home raising them.

It isn't some giant conspiracy. It's loosely coupled, powerful people, with aligned interests guiding decisions, influencing opinion, and swaying sentiment bit by bit over decades.

Does the integration of Krokodove into Resolve 21 close that gap at all?

Yes, it works with JPEG, HEIF, PNG, TIFF, AF, PSD, and several other still image formats.

Resolve is only officially supported on Rocky Linux which is a rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Red Hat, Debian, and Arch based distributions do things a lot differently than each other. Rocky/RHEL are pretty much de facto standards for Linux in the high-end video production and VFX market so it doesn't make much sense for Blackmagic to spend development resources supporting other Linux distributions.

LEGO is releasing a new robot kit, Computer Science and AI, later this year. It isn't able to run autonomously so it is essentially incompatible with the way FIRST LEGO League has worked for the last 28 years.

Earlier this year, FIRST and LEGO announced that FIRST LEGO League would split into two editions--Founders Edition and Future Edition. Both editions would run concurrently for the next two seasons. Founders Edition would continue the current autonomous format and teams could use any of the previous robot kits (RCX, NXT, EV3, SPIKE). Future Edition would be a new remote control format using the new robot kit. After the two transition seasons, Founders Edition would be discontinued and Future Edition would become the one and only format and ending the use of all previous robot kits.

Now that LEGO has announced they are ending their relationship with FIRST after next season, a lot of that is up in the air. Next season will proceed as previously announced, with both Founders Edition and Future Edition. After that, both FIRST and LEGO are each continuing on with their own, separate K-8 robotics programs.

Future Edition requires teams have two of the $530 Computer Science and AI kits. One for their robot and one for the interactive mission models. That's a huge investment for a lot of teams.

LEGO has said they will support SPIKE through the next three seasons but they have not said how that will work or if older robot kits (RCX, NTX, EV3) will also be supported.

FIRST has not announced anything about how their program will work after next season.

The robot kit can be kept and used again each season. Only the challenge kit (mat and mission models) change each season. The current robot kit is $540 vs just $95 for the challenge kit.

The LEGO Education version of MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor, SPIKE Prime, is still available and a new robot kit, Computer Science and AI, is being released this year. After next season, LEGO will be continuing on with their own K-8 robotics program (as will FIRST).

That wasn't in the e-mail I received. Perhaps it's only for customers in certain locations in order to comply with local laws.

Compare Reese's peanut butter cups to peanut butter cups from Trader Joe's or Aldi and you'll taste just how bad Reese's have gotten. You'll never go back.
