- Apple has offered an “iCloud for windows” app for ages that literally syncs your iCloud Keychain (passwords and passkeys) to a windows box where you can use browser extensions for chrome, edge, etc.
You’re still not platform locked…
- There are nearly countless ones - 1password for example works everywhere, as does Roboform, bitwarden, keepass, LastPass, nordpass, and many others.
All sync seamlessly and support the major (and often minor) browsers.
- > Safari requires iCloud keychain for passkeys
Repeating this doesn’t make it true. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/authenticationserv...
All of the 3rd party credential managers I’ve used that support passkeys work with safari, and through the APIs that Apple offers the credential managers you can even pick your default CM and never think about iCloud again…
- > what annoys me the most is that the use of passkeys in Safari requires iCloud Keychain
Completely untrue, Safari on both Mac and iOS supports third-party password managers for both traditional passwords and passkeys.

Anthropic - one of GCP’s largest TPU customers? Good for you.

- > whereas the Gemini models, even 3 Pro, always answer after a few seconds and never cite their sources
Definitely has not been my experience using 3 Pro in Gemini Enterprise - in fact just yesterday it took so long to do a similar task I’d thought something was broken. Nope, just re-chrcking a source
- Google appears to be changing what flash is “meant for” with this release - the capability it has along with the thinking budgets make it superior to previous Pro models in both outcome and speed. The likely-soon-coming flash-lite will fit right in to where flash used to be - cheap and fast.
- Two orders of magnitude would imply that these models cost $28/m in and $42/m out. Nothing is even close to that.
- So they’re not killing the lightning, they’re adding a range extender? I guess that’s not gonna get as many clicks, but it hardly seems controversial given market reception of the current lighting (basically everyone who wanted one bought one and then sales tanked).
- Most campgrounds I’ve seen here (Northern California) explicitly say you can’t charge your EV in RV spots.
- The bed of more traditional pickups like the F-150 can be swapped out in a couple of hours by one or two dudes with a lift and an impact wrench. Heck, you can buy blank F-250s without a bed at all.
- 3 dogs, 3 cats. 45 seconds with a broom once a day does the trick…
- There are plenty of ways to get access to gemini - a single google search took me directly to the simplest way (subscribe to Google AI Ultra) in one click: https://one.google.com/intl/en/about/google-ai-plans/
The author apparently found himself on a much more difficult path, one designed for enterprises who are already on google cloud, already have billing set up, etc. The fact that an individuals experience with an enterprise platform isn't great is predictable... That's why there are individual/consumer plans for this stuff.
- The underlying issue here is that 3.0 is still in preview. Once it’s a GA model, you can just use your $20 consumer Ai pro sub and skip all the GCP stuff…
- Synthetic text-to-speech and “Ai” generated are not the same thing. We’ve been doing TTS for 30 years now - get over it
- They literally list the standalone version further down the page:
* Dream Router 5G Max: The Fully Integrated UniFi Experience *
- > A 15 year old car currently is going for 5 figures
some are, sure - but most aren’t. Plenty of well maintained clean 2010 model cars on marketplace and Craigslist for well under 10k.

This is 100% baloney. Almost none of the people I work with are heavy LinkedIn posters, and I’ve never met a hiring manager who cared what your LinkedIn feed looked like. This has held true across startups, FAANGs, and mid cap tech companies.
