Perplexity adds \'hybrid compute\' to Mac app, splits work across cloud and local AI
Perplexity has introduced \'hybrid compute\' in its Mac app, a feature that keeps sensitive information on a Mac device while distributing other work to cloud AI. It splits a task between cloud-based models and locally run large language models, and can automatically check whether files contain sensitive content before sending data. The company said cloud-only performance is generally better, but users can choose based on data protection and cost.

Apple classifies iPhone X, 2018 MacBook Pro as obsolete, ends official service
Apple has classified the iPhone X and the 2018 15-inch MacBook Pro as obsolete products. The change removes them from Apple’s official hardware repair coverage and prevents service providers from ordering parts. Apple updated its support document on servicing products after warranty expiration and moved the devices from vintage to obsolete status. Software support is also limited, with iPhone X capped at iOS 16.7.16 and the MacBook Pro supported only through macOS Sequoia 15.7.7.
