Apple is NOT releasing Apple Intelligence in Europe!
Another swift european victory. Apple announced that it'd block the release of Apple Intelligence, iPhone mirroring and SharePlay Screen Sharing from users in EU this year because the Digital Market Act "force us to compromise the integrity of our products in ways that risk user privacy and data security" as said by Apple itself.
I'd like to remind you, this is said by a "big tech" corporate with a completely closed-source operating system WHICH has KNOWINGLY partnered with OpenAI to bring this 'feature'. Yeah.
The DMA continues to rule dominance in controlling these corporates in Europe.

visionOS 2 throttles power based on Ambient Noise
visionOS 2 (RealityKit) aggressively throttles power, but not due to battery or cable issues. Instead, throttling is influenced by
If white noise is played, the fan speeds stay at maximum with no throttle. For instance, fan speeds instantly increase from 28/L1 to maximum/L2 when white noise is played from phone, and drops back to L1 when it stops.
It definitely seems to be relative to environmental noise.

Apple and Meta discuss AI partnership for iOS 18
Apple and Meta have discussed a partnership that would see Meta AI models integrated into iOS 18 for Apple Intelligence.
This integration would likely be similar to the deal Apple has struck with ChatGPT, which is currently the only third-party partner for Apple Intelligence.

Microsoft Account to local account conversion guide erased from official Windows 11 guide
Microsoft has been pushing Windows 11 users to sign in with a Microsoft Account, making it harder to use a local account. Instructions on how to switch from a Microsoft Account to a local account were recently removed from the official Windows 11 guide.
Converting your Windows 11 PC's login from a Microsoft Account to a local account is a pretty simple process. All you have to do is go to the Settings app, proceed to Accounts > Your info, and select "Sign in with a local account instead."
The removal suggests Microsoft wants to limit this option for the average consumer.

Google no longer developing Material Web Components
MWC offered a library of Material 3 components — Button, FAB, Icon button, Checkbox, Chips, Dialog, Divider, Elevation, Focus ring, List, Menu, Progress indicators, Radio, Ripple, Select, Slider, Switch, Tabs, and Text field — that developers could use on websites.
Earlier this month, the team announced (h/t Artem Russakovskii) that MWC has entered maintenance mode and will no longer see updates with all future plans abandoned.
The original team is “investigating ways to continue development of new features and components, including identifying new maintainers.”

Apple shelved the idea of integrating Meta’s AI models over privacy concerns
Apple briefly held talks with Meta about the possibility of a partnership way back in March when Apple was talking to multiple companies to explore integration of their models with their devices.
However, the company shelved the idea of putting Meta’s AI models on iPhones over privacy concerns. Partnering with Meta also won’t do a lot of good to Apple’s image.

EU charges Microsoft with antitrust violations over Teams
The European Commission has charged Microsoft with antitrust violations for bundling its Teams app with its Office suite, marking the first such charges in over a decade. This gives Teams an undue advantage over competitors like Slack and Zoom.
In April, Microsoft proposed unbundling Teams from Office beyond Europe to avoid regulatory action, but officials found the measures insufficient. Microsoft faces potential fines of up to 10% of its annual global revenue if found guilty of violating competition rules.

We are concerned that Microsoft may be giving its own communication product Teams an undue advantage over competitors by tying it to its popular productivity suites for business. If confirmed, Microsoft’s conduct would be illegal under our competition rules. Microsoft now has the opportunity to reply to our concerns.

Meta makes its AI chatbot available to all users in India
Meta has launched its Llama 3-powered AI chatbot to all users in India The chatbot is available on WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and Facebook. Users can access the chatbot through app search bars and the Meta.AI website.
The AI can suggest Reels, answer questions about posts, generate images, and assist in group chats. However, it has shown biases, such as adding turbans to images of Indian men.
Unlike Google’s Gemini, which supports nine local languages, Meta AI does not yet support local Indian languages. It supports English only.

Google is killing infinite scroll on search results
Google is discontinuing continuous scroll in its search results, reverting to the classic pagination bar starting today on desktop and in the coming months on mobile. Continuous scroll, introduced on mobile in October 2021 and on desktop in December 2022, will be phased out.
Google aims to improve search result delivery speed, as automatic loading of additional results didn't significantly enhance user satisfaction. This change may impact website click rates and Search Console data. The bottom of desktop search results will now feature a "Next" button, and mobile will show a "More results" button.

rabbit data breach: all r1 responses ever given can be downloaded
On May 16, 2024, the Rabbitude team discovered critical hardcoded API keys in Rabbit Inc's codebase, affecting services like ElevenLabs, Azure, Yelp, and Google Maps.
These keys allow:
• Unauthorized access to sensitive data.

• Changing TTS settings.
The ElevenLabs key allows to:
• Get a history of all past text-to-speech messages
• Change voices
• Add custom text replacements
• Delete voices, crashing the rabbitOS backend.
Despite being aware of the breach for over a month, Rabbit Inc has not rotated the keys. The api keys continue to be valid.
