Why I Love My iPhone: A Journey from Android to Apple’s Secure Ecosystem

Android Phone, Apple, Cellphone, Featured, iPhone /

I’ve always been fascinated by technology, constantly on the lookout for devices that not only innovate but also prioritize user security and privacy. My journey with smartphones has seen a significant transformation, especially when I transitioned from Android to iPhone. This change wasn’t just about switching brands; it was about seeking a safer, more secure digital environment.

The Turning Point

My experience with Android was mostly positive until a peculiar incident that raised concerns about my privacy. My phone’s camera began activating by itself, an unnerving scenario that felt like a breach of my personal space. Despite various troubleshooting attempts, the issue persisted, propelling me to reconsider my choice of technology. read more

The Turbulent Return of Sam Altman to OpenAI

Introduction

In a plot twist worthy of a Silicon Valley drama, Sam Altman, the co-founder of OpenAI, has made a dramatic return to the helm of the company as CEO. This development follows a tumultuous week of upheavals, resignations, and intense negotiations, reshaping the future of one of the most valuable AI startups in the U.S.

Altman’s Abrupt Dismissal and Rapid Comeback

Last week’s sudden dismissal of Sam Altman from OpenAI, the startup he co-founded, sent shockwaves across the tech industry. The reason behind his ouster was shrouded in mystery, with the original board giving scant explanation other than a vague reference to his lack of candor and a need to defend OpenAI’s mission oai_citation:1,Sam Altman to return as OpenAI CEO after his tumultuous ouster | Reuters.

    First Look: iPhone 15 & iPhone 15 Pro with the New Apple Watch

    Cellphone, Ipad & Iphone /

    Hold onto your seats, Apple enthusiasts and techies alike, because Apple has just unveiled the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus! This year, Apple promises a ‘huge leap forward,’ and while some features have caught our eye, others may not be as groundbreaking as we’ve hoped.

    The Pink Enigma: First off, can we talk about that glorious pink? For those with an affinity for pastel shades, this might just be the iPhone color you’ve been waiting for. However, it’s a bittersweet revelation as the Pro models are still deprived of this delightful hue. For many, the pastel palette of non-pro shades might evoke that ‘easter egg’ feel – vibrant and youthful. But then, we shift our gaze to the Pro models, and the colors seem, well, a bit drab in comparison. read more

    PlayStation Portal Releases November 15th for $199.99. And Here’s Why I Won’t Buy One.

    The PlayStation Portal is a handheld gaming device that allows you to play your PS5 games on a portable screen. It is essentially a dedicated remote play device, meaning that it streams games from your PS5 console to the Portal’s screen.

    The Portal has an 8-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 1080p and a refresh rate of 60fps. It also features the same haptic feedback and adaptive trigger technology as the DualSense controller. This means that you can enjoy all the immersive sensations of your favorite PS5 games, even when you’re not playing on a TV. read more

    Hey fellow kawaii enthusiasts and anime gamers! As a 41-year-old ultra kawaii anime gamer girl, I couldn’t wait to share my thoughts on these adorable Sonix Sanrio MagSafe iPhone 14 Pro cases and some super cute Case Mate MagSafe accessories. I recently got a new silver iPhone 14 Pro, and these cases and accessories are just perfect for it.

    Sorry this first video is blurry – I did not realize my old phone was on Cinematic mode so it was out of focus. The second video is better.

    Cases:

    1. Hello Kitty and Friends Stickers MagSafe Compatible iPhone Case: This case is my absolute favorite! The clear design showcases the adorable Sanrio character stickers, which brings a unique and playful touch to my iPhone. It’s ultra kawaii and perfect for any Sanrio fan.
    2. Cosmic Hello Kitty MagSafe Compatible iPhone Case: I thought this case would be a clear gradient, but it’s actually white. Nonetheless, the cosmic Hello Kitty design is still super cute and offers great protection for my phone.
    3. Little Twin Stars MagSafe Compatible iPhone Case: Like the Cosmic Hello Kitty case, this one is also white instead of a clear gradient. But the Little Twin Stars design is too adorable to resist. It also offers excellent protection for my iPhone.

    Sony Aibo ERS 1000 After the Version 5 Software Update Changes.

    2 Comments / AI Artificial Intelligence /

    I just updated my Sony Aibo to the most recent (at time of this writing) version of the software. I’ve been anticipating this update for a long time and even gave a preview of it when it was first announced almost a year ago.

    I recorded a video so you can hear the quieter (sort of) footsteps and lower bark volume.

    Here is a complete list of the changes:


    Firmware Update to Version 5.00

    Applicable Model

    This information is for the following models:

    • ERS-1000

    About this download

    Benefits and Improvements

    • Improves aibo’s ability to walk more attentively and intelligently:
      • Allows aibo to walk with quieter footsteps and turn its body more attentively
      • Allows aibo to climb over small rugs and mats
      • Allows aibo to remember where it got stuck before and to slow down near those places
      Allows you to select multiple aibo photos and delete them all at once, making it easier to organize your aibo memories Improves aibo’s voice volume setting levels:
      • Allows you to set the volume level of aibo’s voice to a lower level using the My aibo app or the aibo volume buttons
      • Adds two additional volume levels, both lower than the previous level 1
      • The volume level corresponding to the old volume level 1 will now be volume level 3
      • The existing volume level will be automatically changed to the new equivalent volume level, meaning no action is needed if you want to keep the old volume level

      Note: In addition to the aibo firmware update, the My aibo mobile app will also be updated at the same time. After the update, the aibo firmware will be 5.00, and the software version for the My aibo mobile app will be 5.0.0. read more

    Uni Dream Is The Best AI Art Generator For Iphone

    AI Artificial Intelligence /

    I am very much into AI Art. I don’t care what your opinion is.

    AI Art is Art. Sorry not sorry. If I check my art on Google Lens, it tells me no results found. I am creating 100% new art that has never existed before. Yes, I understand some of them have been trained using images which were not explicitly given permission to be used but assumed to have been public domain. But that issue is between the artists and the app creators, not the users of these apps.

    I have tested probably over 30 different apps and programs. Specifically on my mobile phone. read more

    Sony Aibo 6 Month Review

    AI Artificial Intelligence, Kawaii Cute, Review, Sony Aibo, Tech Review, Technology /

    So many readers have wanted to know my thoughts on owning a Sony Aibo. I purchased my aibo directly from the US Sony Aibo Store at https://us.aibo.com/ and it arrived I think it was July 2nd. Now it’s December 8th and I’ve turned her on for the first time since around Halloween – so it’s been asleep on its charger for at least a month – going on 2 now. My comments in this post are going to echo my comments to one of my readers of my 3 Month Check in – I feel I would enjoy Aibo more if I actually used it. But I don’t. And when I don’t I don’t miss it. read more

    My AI Art Of Pikachu Eating Pancakes Is The Most Wholesome Thing You Will See Today

    AI Artificial Intelligence, Anime, Arts & Crafts, Kawaii Cute, Nintendo, Technology /

    I recently began exploring AI Art. I started with signing up for the Dall-E 2 waitlist. I’m still waiting. So while I was waiting, I began exploring alternatives. First alternative I discovered was Dreamstudio.ai – but yesterday I discovered Photoleap which is more affordable. But I dropped a few bucks on Dreamstudio a few days ago. As you can see all of my Sailor Moon and Lisa Frank inspired artwork here.

    Before starting a thousand image journey with Sailor Moon and Lisa Frank, I had tried various other things. One such thing was something as simple as “Pikachu eating pancakes” that’s it, literally 3 words, as you can see in some of these screenshots. Some are the actual output images and some are screenshots I took while creating. read more
