They could also just implement sign in with apple on their website, they have the ability to sign in with google so not supporting Apple is still a weird choice they are making.
Apple should not have had to require developers to have options other than Google for authentication, but clearly some companies have to be dragged kicking and screaming.
So clearly they support it, and there is no reason it should not work on the web also.
There are a lot of websites that only support third party login, so that is not always an option.
They don't have to bend for another, but they made a choice to put an app on iOS. They added support for apple signin, and then for some reason did not put it on their website.
You can criticize Apple for requiring that all you want, but they clearly have support for it and are choosing to not put it on their website which is causing a worse user experience.
IF apple did not support website loggin than sure, but they do. So the ability to fix this is on Anthropic (and many other websites).
If you are already going to support third party login you should not limit it to only Google accounts and there is no reason to support Apple on iOS and not the web.
Also for the record, Apple only requires sign in with apple if you already support third party authentication. So if you are already going to support that, giving the user more choice (and making it so we are all a bit less dependent on google) is a good thing.
No criticism from me towards apple or Anthropic. Both parties made their choice. Apple was late to the identity business and the other ships had already sailed.
Third party logins are an extension and a massive risk to any website that doesn't include email hosting.
We have see identity providers dissapear, and people may change their mind.
Easiest way is to register you rown domain and use it with an identity provider of your choice and be able to move it anywhere.
Otherwise we are a faceless citizen of a corporation that can handle access to our identity and everything attached to it without recourse or access to anyone.
Are you seriously trying to justify offering Sign in with Google but not ALSO offer Sign in with Apple because of some contorted principle, the method which HELPS users maintain their privacy? What the actual f.
Antrhopic's UX is just trash, the worst of all the major AI products.
They have this "I'm special" syndrome where they think they can get away with doing shit weirdly and not offer basic features that everyone else does, and the reason why I never purchased any of their services again after the first month, and had to replace my payment info with a throwaway card because they wouldn't let me remove it, again unlike everyone else.
I don't think it's hard to understand why a service would want to support Google as an identity provider but not Apple. Google is probably the most commonly used provider out there, at least outside of the enterprise space.
Apple's identity service is not as common, and newer than the ones that were established before.
It's ok that Anthropic wasn't a fit for your prompting preference, it doesn't have to work for everyone, and it doesn't mean it wont' work for others. LLMs in general have proven that trying it once a few months ago can be a great way to miss changes. There's something out there for everyone.
This was my first thought as well, all this does is further remove the user from seeing the chat output and instead makes it appear as if the information is concretely reliable.
I mean is it really that shocking that you can have an LLM generate structured data and shove that into a visualizer? The concern is if is reliable, which we know it isnt.
Its' a reasonable concern. Often it can be mitigated by prompting in a manner that invokes research and verification instead of defaulting to a corpus.
I am still sad that they stopped putting it into iPhone, I think the tech is great and the watch really proves what can be done with it when it is a fundamental part of the hardware and the OS can be built around it. But we never had a situation that every compatible iPhone had force touch so everything that could be done with it had to work in other ways.
I think the iPad made that even more complicated since I doubt we would have ever gotten it on a screen that large, if it would have even worked.
As far as it being on the trackpad, it is honestly pretty wild when you realize it. It does an incredible job of faking feeling like it is actually moving. Was similar with the fake home button that some iPhone’s had for a little while.
I remember being totally flummoxed when I was trying to figure out why my trackpad wasn't clicking when the machine was off. I had no idea it wasn't a mechanical lever anymore!
I know it is not the target use case this, but I have been thinking more and more about how this could serve a need of a terminal or a kiosk computer in a scenario where a tablet may not be the most suitable due to the need for a full keyboard.
I use an iPad mounted to an arm in the kitchen for cooking but always had issues whenever I needed to modify a recipe (or add a note for later modification), I am debating on switching it out for a Neo. Possibly some other use cases of a permanent computer in places that a tablet worked but a full computer would be far more flexible.
I just first need to find an arm that would be rock solid enough to not wobble a ton while typing, if anyone has any recommendations.
I keep wanting to build this but I have seen people talking online that they changed the legs and they are now hollow and not really suitable for this.
That has made me very cautious to use this for any serious amount of mounting.
Edit: Apparently there is a section on that page about it, but does not give a ton of confidence that it won’t give me a lot of issues.
I swear every year that passes it sounds more plausible that IKEA has a bunch of people chewing on wood and putting it together into furniture like they were building wasp nests. Their stuff makes frickin' papier-mâché look like a steel girder in comparison.
I have an old Lack (20 years) and while I've never used it as a rack, it'd just been retired from under the TV as I got a new one with a wider base. I notice that even though it's never been moved much, it doesn't feel very stable any more and I wouldn't trust it with a rack of heavy equipment, especially with HDDs that could suffer catastrophic failure if they fell. That said, attaching brackets would sure up the legs a bit. Ideally you'd want to attack brackets at the back as well I guess.
I also had a Billy sat next to it, and did similar to this (but again not racked), with all of my AV gear inside. The door was great, it'd make any status lights diffuse and so they wouldn't interrupt watching a film in the dark (and my old Sky box used to have annoying blue LEDs with an animation when playing back a recorded show), but at the same time remote controls still worked through the glass. Literally best of both worlds. I cut a big hole in the back for cables, which also served well for airflow. I considered adding a fan, but never needed it. I suspect there would be issues with negative pressure doing that though.
The tops of the posts are still solid. You could mount a single rack unit and be okay, but fully populating lack legs is not recommended. Cute way to hide a network switch, though.
Because they were basically OEM'd PCs with an Apple logo at one point, and used it as a selling point, but I don't think it was a particularly popular feature among the general userbase. I've personally seen more Hackintosh laptops than Macs running Windows.
I do think that for this particular situation we need to step outside of our tech bubble a little bit.
I am still having regular conversations with people that either don't know about hallucinations or think they are not a big problem. There is a ton of money in these companies pushing that their tools are reliable and its working for the average user.
I mean there are people that legitimately think these tools are conscious or we already have AGI.
So I am not fully sure if I would jump too quick to attack the judge when we see the marketing we are up against.
I find it hard to believe the people who use AI haven't read a single article about AI. That would also disqualify this judge, if it were true.
This exceeds the tech bubble.
My local newspaper, completely clueless about tech, runs an article about AI trouble, hallucinations and whatnot every other week. Completely missing most of the nuances, of course, but my point is that this has entered the public discourse.
It may have entered public discourse but it is not being talked about as much outside of tech spaces, and we are up against the companies pushing the complete opposite narrative.
All I can say is that I am having conversations with non technical people regularly that are not aware of the issue or think it is a largely solved issue.
A properly built tablet OS UI would also have those differences in the OS that make it more than just a larger phone screen, which so far seems to be most of what the foldables are doing with a gimmick thrown in here or there.
iPadOS may not fully be to the point of being an OS UI that really utilizes the benefits of a tablet sized device, but it does have elements that are unique to it that would not really make sense on a phone.
That being said, if your tablet use case really is just a larger phone than a foldable would be great. But i know for myself the way I use my iPad it would not be a suitable replacement. Especially not now, maybe in 5+ years once someone figures out how to make an OS that actually manages different ways of interacting with it in different form factors work, but that has yet to happen.
Even though these tools are showing time and time again that they have serious reliability issues, somehow people still think it is a good idea to use them for critical decisions.
Still regularly get wrong information from google’s search AI.
Really starting to wonder if common sense is ever going to come back with new tech, but I fear it is going to require something truly catastrophic to happen.
I’ve got a popcorn reserve at hand to watch the show when the massive security breaches happen and people start freaking out. And/or a lawsuit gets discovery of a company’s LLM history and it’s every bit as awful for them as we all know it will be and the rest of corporate America pumps the brakes.
These systems are borderline useless if you don’t give them dangerous levels of access to data and generate tons of juicy chat history with them. What’s coming is very predictable.
You are mistaken. ChatGPT Health [1] is a model specifically designed for health applications and was co-developed with a benchmark suite, HealthBench [2], for testing against health conditions. This study suggests that the people working on HealthBench have some concerning external validity problems.
Then Google shouldn't be using something so unreliable for anything important. Arguing that random users should know the difference between cheap and frontier models is also not compelling. It's all the same "AI" to most people.
It's a strange paradigm shift, where the tool is right and useful most of than not, but also make expensive mistakes that would have been spotted easily by an expert.
It's really the "common sense" i.e. believing things without thinking because they "sound right" or because it's what your parents told you a lot growing up or because you watched an ad saying it a hundred times that's the issue. People don't want "the truth" or uncomfortable realities; they want comfortable, easily digestible bullshit. Smooth talkers filled the role before and LLMs are filling that role now.
I feel like I am really struggling to see the issue here with pricing, it is still a very cheap subscription and it does what we need it to do. And they were one of the ones that came out better in that recent security analysis of password managers. I see a lot of people upset here and I don’t get it.
Did they need to increase the price? Honestly I don’t know, without seeing their financials it is hard to say. But I would much rather they be able to be sustainable.
It likely doesn’t help that they are facing more and more free competition from Google and Apple. I know I have been considering a switch to Apple Passwords after the recent changes to it. I doubt this will excelerate it or anything because I will still want somewhere as a secondary area incase I loose access to my apple account.
I've been a mostly happy 1Password customer with a Family plan for quite some time. This may cause me to jump ship.
My biggest issue with 1Password has been 1) how intrusive it can be in the browser, especially on mobile when it's too proactive to show its dropdown and just gets in the way of my experience. I know this is challenging because a mobile device is a small screen, but it is incredibly frustrating. 2) how bad the Safari extension. It regularly fails to load at all.
Aside from that, while you're absolutely correct - 1Password is still relatively inexpensive, let's look at the improvements thet mention:
1. Automatic saving of logins and payment details
Isn't this what 1Password has always done or am I misunderstanding?
2. Enhanced Watchtower alerts
I haven't seen any of these alerts ever help me.
3. Faster, more secure device setup
This I have noticed. It is very convenient
4. AI-powered item naming
This is weak sauce. I don't care for "AI" to help me name my logins/accounts/etc.
5. Expanded recovery options
I'm not sure what this is and how it's different than what they've always offered on a Family plan.
I was buying a train ticket on Eurostar for my mother. I filled her name as the passenger. Scrolled down and used the 1Password data I have to fill my address and billing information. I proceed and pay. Later, when checking the ticket, I see it's on my name. 1Password changed the passenger details, and since the screen is small, I did not notice.
No 100% refund from Eurostar, but lesson learned.
I'm not leaving 1Password though. It's too convenient for my family.
I’ve had it do stuff like that and it’s very annoying when it’s an issue - which it sometimes is.
That and a lack of easy way to report a login page that doesn’t work perfectly would be my top annoyances (behind a 33% increase in a subscription that was already annoying me each time it came around).
To be honest I'm mostly fine with the price increase (it hasn't been adjusted for inflation in ages), the thing I do take issue with is that for over a year now (with the 'upgrade' to a new web interface) you can't easily create a password etc. anymore straight from the browser extension.
You click the button in the browser, choose what to create 'I want to create a password (or a note, or whatever)' and then get redirected to their web-app and be presented with a pop-up asking what you want to create (I just told you, didn't I?)
I get it, when you move to a new web-app some things can break. But after using stored passwords creating new ones is pretty much the only other thing you do in the app, it seems to be core functionality that's been broken for over a year now, it's kinda madness tbh.
Edit: To be fair they offered a 'solution' when I reported it: "Don't use the web-app, install our desktop app instead."
The manage to find the money to sponsor an F1 team, so I don't think the money is the issue.
Also, if they'd increase things by 5%, or did yearly 2% increases or something like that, I'd be okay with that (to cover the inflation). But the 33% increase combined with the list of features I don't care about -- that's just taking users for granted. Thankfully I didn't start using passkeys, otherwise I'd be locked within 1p without ability to export them.

The price has been unchanged at least as far back as mid 2018. According to the inflation calculator at bls.gov [1] inflation over those 8 years was 31%.
In a world where everything is increasing in prices and salaries aren't keeping pace, you might be able to see it if you imagine what life was like making much less money.
1Password, like other subscriptions, becomes something for the middle class and up, not for the masses.
> I will still want somewhere as a secondary area incase I loose access to my apple account
I'm quite content with Apple's Password app but I pay for 1Password only for the peace of mind of having a backup in case Apple ever locks my account. I will suck it up and pay the higher price.
Part of my migration plan from 1Password to Apple Passwords is making sure I have all the account recovery options possible.
I had risks with 1Password as well. If my house were to burn down, and my phone was also inside, I’d lose it all. I have offsite backups, but I need 1Password to get into them.
In China the median hourly wage is somewhere between 4 and 6 USD, whereas in India where most employment is ‘informal’ estimates of the median wage vary from about 50 cents to 1 USD an hour.
So to cover those twelve dollars, the average Chinese worker will have to work three to four more hours a year just to have the same functionality, whereas the Indian average worker will have to work twelve to 24 more hours a year.
Apple should not have had to require developers to have options other than Google for authentication, but clearly some companies have to be dragged kicking and screaming.
So clearly they support it, and there is no reason it should not work on the web also.
