    The most annoying aspect of this is when you know actual information has to be out there, but it is being drowned out by dozens of sites reposting the less relevant and low quality information… And then you go to search in another language and you see substandard machine translations of all the garbage you were just fleeing, lol.

      I was trying to find the radius of the corner of the iPad Pro. Not the screen, the actual device. No matter what I modified my search term to all I could find was information about the screen corner (and how it isn’t a true radius and blah blah blah) or AI generated bullshit.

      Eventually I gave up and changed the way I was tackling my project. I know the info is out there, people make cases for these things.

      It’s getting to the point where I have to use AI to help me sift through all the AI bullshit :(
