Technology@lemmy.world•Apple Reportedly Moving Ahead With Ads in Maps AppEnglish
25·16 days agoOnce you create a monetization team that puts ads in shit, they’re going to want to keep putting more ads in stuff. They’re all judged on how much better they do year over year.
Apple should’ve never created a team that sold ads on their platforms.
IMHO, Apple just jumped onto a dumb dribbble trend that has been happening for a few years. Remove toolbars and put stuff in a small floating pane.
Seeing it in iOS will encourage more people to do this, but it’s not a trend Apple started. Their design team doesn’t have very many good original thoughts these days.
Ahh yes. The “put everything in a little pill” design trend.
Got a screenshot?
I still see the UI I’ve seen for months on web and mobile native.

Apple@lemmy.world•EU gets what it asked for, there is no charger in the MacBook Pro box
151·28 days agoApple is pretty famous for doing a lot of price ladder stuff. You can jump up to the next tier of a product by paying an extra $100 or so, and then once you get into that next tier, you see that the upgraded product has a cool feature you can unlock for another $100 or so.
Those price ladders are pretty carefully crafted and they make the company a lot of money. I’ll bet that they’re going to keep those price points the same until all MacBooks and iPads are being sold sans charger.
That said, there are ways that Apple could’ve given people a complimentary chargers if they needed one. Hell, if I spend n about of money, give me credit toward a free item.

Technology@lemmy.world•Fake Protest Videos Are the Latest AI Slop to Go Viral in MAGA WorldEnglish
17·1 month agoLemmy’s daily active user numbers are not big enough to be a worthwhile astroturfing target.
The real reason people shit on AI here is because it’s a platform with a bias toward people who are fairly tech savvy and or work in a technology field. Which is why every 3rd technology post here is a Linux circle jerk.
A lot of users here understand the technologies and are working in spaces where they’re being asking to “implement AI” by idiots who don’t understand the tech and aren’t trying to solve a user problem.

Technology@lemmy.world•Senate report says AI will take 97M US jobs in the next 10 years, but those numbers come from ChatGPTEnglish
41·1 month agoAgreed, but I do think that some jobs are just going to be gone.
For example, low level CS agents. I worked for a company that replaced that first line of CS defense with a bot, and the end-of-call customer satisfaction scores went up.
I can think of a few other things in my company that had a similar outcome. If the role is gone, and the customers and employees are being served even better than when they had that support role, that role ain’t coming back.












Cut Meta some slack. They’re not Nvidia. They’re only a $1.5T company. They can’t make everything native.
