This is the framing Apple wants to sell for their decision to withhold features from the EU, and blogs are parroting it.
In reality, Apple is purposefully withholding these features from the EU, either because Apple are being retaliatory against EU customers for the existence of the DMA, or because Apple (with full knowledge of the DMA for years) refused to build these features in compliance with it.
Apple chose to harm their products in the EU. The DMA didn't. This framing is marketing.
ME: Hello computer! Please show me what I was doing recently
COMPUTER IN THE 1980's: l cease to exist when I am powered off. Please start whatever you were doing from scratch

Here's a fun example of something you can now do with LLM: search for every README.md file in your home directory and store embeddings for all of them in a collection called "readmes":
```
llm embed-multi readmes \
--model sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2 \
--files ~/ '**/README.md'
```
Then run a similarity search for "sqlite" like this:
```
llm similar readmes -c sqlite
```
