Ah, yes, the pinnacle of modern journalism: a #clickbait extravaganza where cutting-edge #medical #technology is reduced to a request for JavaScript and cookies. 🥴🔍 Because nothing screams "advanced healthcare" like your #browser #settings. 🚫🍪

I just learned about these settings today.

I have opted to turn off the AI Chatbot, but leave the translation, alt text, tab group, and link preview features on.

These features don't immediately scan in my mind as "AI" which I tend to associate with the many problems inherent to sycophantic chatbots, inaccurate search summaries, and photo-realistic deepfakes.

I have some strong opinions on how help & options page in an app should looks like:

❌ Screenshots - They are out of date the second you make a release.
✅ Live, interactive elements - Never go out of date.

❌ Text description only - Nah only very few will actually read your blah blah.
✅ Let user interact and directly see the effect.

❌ Do not describe the breadcrumbs of clicking.
✅ Give users direct link to get to final step.

Transcript:

I was able to put together a strong approval for up to $54,000 with rate of 5.79%. First one or call me at 833-662-5740. What caught my attention is that this approval comes with no prepayment penalty, and based on what I'm seeing, payments could be around $640 per month or approximately $320 biweekly, if that's easier for your budget. You don't have to take the full amount and if everything checks out, funding could be available within one to 2 business days. I wanted to make sure I reached you because this approval is only being held for a few more days. And I'd hate for you to miss the opportunity if this could help. Again, press one now or call me directly at 833-662-5740. This is Amanda Herrera from underwriting. I was able to put together a strong approval for up to $58,000 with rate of 5.89% and payment of $680 per month or $340 biweekly. I'd like to finalize everything while these terms are still available. Give me a call back and I'll walk you through the details. My direct voicemail number is 888-912-1340. Again, 888-912-1340.

#iOS26 #Feature of the year:

Screen Unknown Callers, Option 3: Silence

The redeeming feature of #iOS 26 is the ability to use your #Contacts to identify new-to-you callers and optionally send them silently to #voicemail without actually ringing or even starting to ring.

Here are the steps:

Open #Settings > #Apps > #Phone and scroll down past "Live Voicemail" to the section "Screen Unknown Callers."

You have three options: Never, Ask Reason for Calling, Silence.

Tap to select.

10 настроек Claude Code для разработчика-архитектора

За 6 месяцев ежедневной работы с Claude Code я выработал 10 конфигов. Без них теряю по 10-15 часов в месяц на исправление того, что агент сделал не так. С ними ощутимо меньше. Это не туториал «что такое Claude Code». Это конфиги для тех, кто уже работает с инструментом и хочет выжать из него больше. Готовые конфиги в конце каждого раздела, копируйте сразу.
