iPhone 16 pro max failed doing a ‘restore’ on macOS finder (4046). Now device is undetectable in finder, apple configurator (2 systems), apple devices (win). Multiple cables. Quite shocked it’s fragile, had expected more with official apple software,.,.

@SubhamSaho4836 Hard to know what to think. it changes constantly. old cli aliases don;’t work, quotas are all over the place. Too confusing to invest time in imo

@TheRealJamieKay Lack of freedom. The freedom to live, work, visit a wide range of countries with fascinating cultures. Hope, ideas - all vapourised by brexit

@MarvabluesF1 the thought of food binding is so awful… Lovely to have such an old image of your ancestors.

@adrgrondin @glifocat @lmstudio what inference engine did you use? What model format, quantization, what about context length & lv cache parameters? (on a 64GB m4 max best I’ve got is with qwen 3.6 30b/A3b, 128-256k context, 4 bit mlx under omlx)
