Apple may have a clever new way to turn multiple Macs into one AI supercomputer. And it could make running powerful local AI models surprisingly easy. Forget complicated Terminal commands, technical setup guides and sending your data off to some cloud-based AI service. Apple's upcoming Harbor app reportedly lets you connect multiple Macs, automatically create an AI computing cluster, and run large language models locally. Just plug in, fire it up and start experimenting. Your data stays on your Mac(s) instead of being shipped off to the cloud. It's an intriguing glimpse at a future where your Mac becomes your own private AI powerhouse — no expensive cloud subscriptions required. There's a lot more to this story, including how Harbor works and when Apple might release it. Take a look at Apple's secret weapon for local AI 👇 cultofmac.com/news/apples-ha…

Apple TV is making movies and shows more accessible to Deaf viewers — and it's doing something especially thoughtful Apple is adding sign language interpretation to select Apple TV movies and shows, starting November 13. The new feature supports both American Sign Language (ASL) and British Sign Language (BSL). Apple worked directly with Deaf community members and native signers to create interpretations tailored to each production. That means more than simply translating dialogue. It's about preserving the emotion, expression and meaning of the story. The first titles include "Being Heumann," the upcoming film about disability rights activist Judith Heumann, and racing flick "F1," with more Apple Originals coming soon. It's a welcome step toward making streaming entertainment accessible to more people. See how Apple's new sign language feature works and which shows will support it.
