This month's get-together focused on a review of the WWDC held earlier this June. A short edited version of the video proceedings was screened, followed by a more detailed recap of some of the forthcoming introductions and details of some software modifications discovered by beta testers of the new software for computer, tablet and phone. The new 15" MacBook Air looks like a winner.

This was followed by a lively discussion… Read more…

Annie and Gill showed us how they are digitising the photo collection at the Dorchester Museum. They are working their way through boxes of photos mainly grouped by location. In addition to digitising the photos they record any notes on the photos along with other defining features enabling detail searches, via the fully featured database, in the future e.g. Dovecote. Where they come on interesting features of an item, person or group they do… Read more…

Nine members at Warsash this month for Mick's presentation on the Health app in iOS and on Apple Watch, which can cover all sorts of useful info about your health and fitness. Following that, Euan had spotted an excellent video by the Adam Savage's Tested YouTube channel, on the difference between Apple's Thunderbolt cables and much cheaper alternatives. Watch that here. Ironically, our viewing was interupted by issues with an HDMI cable!… Read more…

At the latest Beaminster meeting, Mick & David M showed "snippets" - tips about features in apps that everyone probably uses but have missed including (but not limited to!) using your phone as a scanner, identifying subject of a photo, removing defunct email addresses from your devices, and using Apple Pay.

Euan then showed us a video of the latest technology that Apple announced at the WWDC the day before called Vision… Read more…

'Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war.' This statement, signed by leaders in the field, including the heads of OpenAI and Google Deepmind, shows how apposite was the in-depth presentation given by Euan on Tuesday.

His illustrated in-depth talk took us from the earlier work in the fields of philosophy, mathematics and physics by Descartes… Read more…

Euan’s presentation was a tour de force, the result of hours of reading and research consolidated into a very colourful and dynamic Keynote, intended to make us all start to think more broadly about AI.

He started by questioning what we mean by Intelligence, ‘clever’ is not necessarily ‘intelligent’. Nature has built in intelligence. Trees have communication networks passing information in the air as well as by… Read more…

It was a very lively meeting (excellent) discussing how various members used Reminders and exploring the newly introduced Template feature. A brief excursion into how electronic documents might have a signature added to them turned into the main feature of the evening. For those with a Mac and an iPad (or iPhone) a signature can be added to a Pages document using the Insert>Insert from iPad/iPhone facility but for those wanting to… Read more…

David and Mick gave us a world-class review of a number of apps included with the operating systems that could be useful in unexpected ways.

Mick explained that though Airdrop required wifi and bluetooth to be active on all participating devices, a functioning internet connection was not needed. Transfer between devices could therefore take place in any location where the distance between them was within an acceptable range, in the order of… Read more…
