iOS 17.5.1 fixes reappearing photo bug
https://o.aolcdn.com/images/dims?image_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fs.yimg.com%2Fos%2Fcreatr-uploaded-images%2F2024-05%2Ff6431570-16e8-11ef-bedd-87a763547352&resize=1400%2C933&client=19f2b5e49a271b2bde77&signature=1654b94e829e166923dc6e4aecbcb66156baf589
Apple just released an update for iOS (and iPadOS) to tackle a strange bug that cropped up in the past week. When iOS 17.5 came out, some users noticed that photos they deleted were reappearing in their Photos library — now, iOS 17.5.1 promises to fix that. As Apple puts its, the update “addresses a rare issue where photos that experienced database corruption could reappear in the Photos library even if they were deleted.”
As noted by MacRumors, some users on Reddit were seeing photos that were deleted not just weeks ago but months and years ago returning to their devices. Indeed, one person reported seeing photos from way back in 2010 popping up in their library as if they were newly shot.
As usual, Apple hasn’t offered more details besides what is in the iOS 17.5.1 release notes, but we’re reaching out to see if they have any other details about how this bug popped up in the first place. In the meantime, you might as well go update your iPhone or iPad now.

So by that rationale, cat in the hat exists? I also do not have a dog in the fight. Isn’t faith what one is left with when we abandon the search for evidence? Christians more than any other religious folk’s I’ve met tend to take the most liberties with what something “means” or the intentions of characters in the story. To be clear, I hope I am projecting that Jesus didn’t exist, because outside of the bible there is no historical record. Now when you read genesis and Old Testament, there is complete genealogy, and plenty of known historians for that period and region… none corroborate any existence. Zero, so totally happy to suppose this. If it hasn’t been considered by some that the existence is fiction and borrowed from characters in other stories which predate Christianity, it should be considered and please provide receipts.

Salvaged Scraps of Wood Nest Together in Richard Haining’s Elegant Curved Vessels
https://www.thisiscolossal.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/haining-5.jpg
In the late aughts, Richard Haining began salvaging leftover wood. While working for a set design company, he realized that the sizable waste generated was also an untapped opportunity for his personal projects. “What I did not have in the way of disposable income, I did have in the way of access to tons of scrap materials,” he says. “I couldn’t afford purchasing new materials to create the ideas I had in my head, but I could take smaller scraps and use those as building blocks.”

Is there any built in nostr "verification" method?
I'm imagining something like a bip-32 label that would indicate a user completed some form of verification, which applications can use as an anti-spam measure. The specific form of verification is irrelevant, and many providers could exist, they'd publish an event to indicate the result:
{
"tags": [
["p": "verifiedpubkey...", ...],
["L": "verification"],
["l": "captcha-verified", "verification"],
],
...
}
{
"tags": [
["p": "verifiedpubkey...", ...],
["L": "verification"],
["l": "captcha-verified"],
["l": "email-verified", "verification"],
],
...
}
{
"tags": [
["p": "verifiedpubkey...", ...],
["L": "verification"],
["l": "phone-verified", "verification"],
],
...
}
{
"tags": [
["p": "verifiedpubkey...", ...],
["L": "verification"],
["l": "payment-verified", "verification"],
],
...
}
"payment-verified" might include the amount paid
{
"tags": [
["p": "verifiedpubkey...", ...],
["L": "verification"],
["l": "fidelity-bonded", "verification"],
],
...
}
"fidelity-bonded" might include a UTXO and BIP-127 proof
{
"tags": [
["p": "verifiedpubkey...", ...],
["L": "verification"],
["l": "twitter-verified", "verification"],
],
...
}
"twitter-verified" might include the URL of a tweet committing to the verifiedpubkey (and something from the verifiedpubkey committing to the twitter account?)
I'm not sure if the extra information might warrant a different kind than normal labels.

ASUS’ first Copilot+ PC locks when you walk away and unlocks when you return
https://o.aolcdn.com/images/dims?image_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fs.yimg.com%2Fos%2Fcreatr-uploaded-images%2F2024-05%2Fe8fce2a0-16df-11ef-be9f-c1d059293d6b&resize=1400%2C786&client=19f2b5e49a271b2bde77&signature=a87078528d4a6a6195c538d9643edf5fbb528f3b
ASUS isn’t sitting out the rush of AI-enhanced Copilot+ PCs, which also includes new models from Acer, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Samsung and, of course, Microsoft. The “ultra-thin” ASUS Vivobook S 15 has Windows AI features like memory assistant Recall, the image generator Cocreator, and several ASUS-exclusive AI apps.
One of the more intriguing AI-powered features of the ASUS Vivobook S 15 is its use of the AiSense IR camera. ASUS says it can detect your presence and adjust the display accordingly. If you look away, the display will dim, and it will brighten up again when you look back. And if you step away from the computer, it will lock — and unlock when you return. While we can't vouch for its effectiveness before trying it, the feature sounds super handy for security and privacy if it delivers consistently.
Another baked-in AI feature is StoryCube, an app that ASUS says can automatically organize RAW photos and videos. In addition to the standard Copilot+ features announced on Monday, the laptop also includes Windows Studio Effects, which can automate lighting adjustments and noise removal in video calls. It also supports Microsoft’s Live Captions (real-time, AI-powered subtitles).
ASUS
On the hardware side, the Vivobook S 15 runs on the Snapdragon X Elite chip with a built-in Qualcomm Hexagon neural processing unit (NPU), which ASUS claims can process 45 TOPS (that’s 45 trillion operations per second). The PC ships with a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD and up to 32GB of 8448 MHz LPDDR5X RAM.
The laptop has a 15.6-inch OLED screen with a 2,880 x 1,620 resolution and an 89 percent screen-to-body ratio. It also includes a Harmon Kardon-certified audio system with Dolby Atmos sound. ASUS claims its 70 Wh battery can last up to 18 hours.
One of the Vivobook S 15’s selling points is its thin aluminum body: Its tapered design has a thickness ranging from only 0.58 to 0.63 inches (14.7 mm to 16 mm). The PC weighs a mere 3.13 lbs (1.4 kg), slightly lighter than Apple’s 15-inch MacBook Air.
The laptop has a healthy port selection, including two USB4, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type A, HDMI, an audio combo jack and a microSD slot. Its keyboard has customizable single-zone RGB lighting and a Copilot key for quick access to the ChatGPT-powered assistant.
The ASUS Vivobook S 15 is available for pre-order now through the company’s retail partners, starting at $1,300. The company says additional configurations will launch later this year.
