  • Yeah I was going to say, even just as a homelab admin, I can keep my OS uptime high if I want to, and just update my services, but I’ve missed some auto start fixes etc., where I updated and started the updated service manually, but then next power loss it didn’t start properly.

    Now I try to make sure I reboot once a month when it’s convenient for me to fix issues to make sure all updates are applied and tested. And of course kernel updates like you say.


  • That’s correct, but companies like Apple have put profits above employees for a long time. Granted, high pay and good benefits have been a path to attract talent that would increase profits, but profit has always been the motive.

    So I don’t think you’re wrong that they might have a big layoff, but it’s not related to adding more AI into the product.

    That said, having good, well integrated, local AI features that are optional to use are purely a plus for the customer. Local AI Siri, local AI multitasking (e.g. “insert a summary of that messages thread into a new draft email”), local AI reminders of things you might have forgotten, etc.

    That’s probably not exactly what’s going on here though.
