Yep; different circumstances though.

Beeper Mini was shut down by Apple, which allegedly identified the requests from Beeper Mini and terminated access to its servers.

Nothing Chat/Sunbird, on the other hand, was shut down from themselves, because they were caught mishandling user information. The method itself was not shut down, rather they discontinued their own implementation. (Fwiw, Beeper has a similar implementation on another product of theirs, which remains functional as far as I know. )

To be fair, they said they’re ditching the leather products because of how much water they need to be produced compared to non-leather options.

I believe it’s a matter of being in the same platform as controversial content.

In the end they’re paying Twitter to display their ads, and if Twitter allows questionable content to be in their platform, the companies are indirectly supporting it.

I think the thing is that, in order to have a successful and reliable Tile network, you need as much people as possible to install the Tile app so their phones can communicate with their trackers.

Whereas with Find My, you have everybody’s Apple devices being part of the network without them doing anything, their devices just do it, without intervention from other users. That’s a massive advantage for Apple’s offering.

On similar note, if Google comes up with something similar where they can leverage all of the Android devices out there, it’d be an enormous network.

I actually think Zuck does want to kick Musk's ass. At the same time I think Mark is going with it just to call Elon's bluff.

I have a friend that’s always late, like literally always. I tried to put myself in his shoes because he’s got 2 small kids and that should be extremely exhausting, but I don’t think he even tries anymore.

Iirc, it’s been said that the reason for them to ditch CarPlay is so that they can add their own infotainment system where they can charge for subscriptions.

It’s not a technological problem, it’s a “we want to extract every penny out of our customers” problem.

Hadn’t thought about how many people will come back to see their RemindMes on Reddit only to find deleted comments from people that left Reddit nuking their comments.

it’s the camera view of your face from the inside.

When you’re setting up the device, you scan your face to create a “Persona” which is a digital representation of your face, this is what’s shown in the outside of the thing.

The cameras are used to track your eyes and have the “Persona”’s eyes move mimicking yours.
