Walmart to expand InHome Delivery to Chattanooga households:

InHome is designed to give time back to customers by delivering fresh groceries, everyday essentials and more directly into their homes, including placing items straight into their kitchen or garage refrigerator.

This. Is. A. Very. Bad. Idea.

Unless you have a very specific use case, such as dealing with some chronic health issue that makes grocery shopping potentially dangerous and no home care options exist, do not sign up for this. There is no level of convenience “for busy families” that warrants allowing strangers access into your house. Even if you have video surveillance, letting these people – maybe W*mart employees or maybe contractors – cross your threshold is a significant risk.

Also, why is Channel 3 doing Walmart PR?

Apple’s missing “augmented” intelligence:

As part of writing a review, I have been using Apple’s 2022 version of the 13-inch MacBook Air. I am not the first one to say it  — many others have said before — it is a great device. It is a great testimonial of Apple’s hardware excellence and knowledge crammed into this thin sliver of engineering marvel. The new M2 chip, the longer battery life, improved webcam, keyboard, and speakers — everything is of exceptional quality. Apple does know how to build good premium hardware at scale. 

Sadly, you can’t say the same when it comes to its software & services that rely on machine learning and augmented intelligence. The obvious deficiencies, whether on the Mac, the iPhone, or the iPad, are quite annoying

Om pretty much nails my experience and thoughts.

There’s also something to be said about power users needing to install additional tools like Apple’s Command Line Utilities and HomeBrew to fill in the gaps Apple chose to leave.
