I see nothing major with this release. I do however hope this fixes my wireless speeds. I purchased my first Macbook Pro this past Friday night and my download speeds are definitely bad on it, compared to my windows laptops/ipad/iphones/and desktop PC

Now that you have mentioned it, I too am having some issues with my wireless speeds. My macbook hasn't moved locations, but the signal seems weaker as well. Chopped it up as being a location issue but wonder if it is also related to an OS bug... hmmm...

And iMessage Phone number merging! I was wondering why the file sizes were massively different between .1 & .2

Wait, so now iMessages going to your phone number will also appear in Messages on Mac? Awesome. Is that something they are bringing to iOS as well for my iPad?

Nice. Just installed OS X 10.8.2 12C31A (with FB integration)

Did they fix the mess that occurs if you try to merge contacts? I remember the reviews saying it created a mess in their contacts. In the iOS 6 beta, the contacts go into their own category "Facebook Contacts" which would be my preference on Mac as well.

Any fix to the iMessage sync mess between iOS and the Mac? It has been notably messed up and annoying the last couple of days, after a short time (8 or 10 days) where it works almost perfectly between the two.

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.

      That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.

      They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
