I agree a longer video would be helpful. I am going to do an explanatory video at some point where we walk through the device, switching activities and playing a few of them. A more hype video would be nice too, although we probably won't budget that until we start shipping though.

Thank you very much! I kept waiting for someone else to build it but that never happened so here I am.
> they might be ready to be shown how it works and how they can create their own functionality and games
Yes. I want to help enable that too. For example, I want to do a Scratch integration at some point.

Hi HN,
After working as a SWE in tech and finance for 7 years I quit my job to work on a programmable kids toy. Its something I wanted for me and my kids and hopefully some of you will find it interesting. Let me know if you have any questions.

This happened to a close relative of mine who has had an IG account for a very long time. Twitter has a lot of activity too.

I have been having real problems trying to do Google takeout with my Google Photos. I keep getting an error emailed to me saying "However, we were unable to create a copy of all your files. You can still download your files until September 25, 2022, but please be aware that there will be data missing."
Apparently I am not the only one[1][2]. Other people have a mix of errors[3]. It is not the reliable data extraction I was expecting for something as valuable as my family photos. Google is losing a lot of trust from me based on this.

I wipped my iPhone which required my Apple ID and password (so Apple knows the device was deactivated) and I called technical support to confirm iMessages is deactivated for my account and three weeks later I am still not receiving messages from people with iPhones. The problem isn't that you have to call Apple but that even after calling them they are not able to help!

I switched to an Android phone 3 weeks ago and I am also still not receiving texts from iPhones. Apple's customer support said the same thing to me as they did to you. They told me that one customer had to wait 40 days before they were fully removed from the system. I am just hoping that it gets fixed for me by the time 40 days has come around.
I filled a complaint with the FCC at https://esupport.fcc.gov/ccmsforms/form2000.action?form_type.... It is a form for complaints against wireless carriers for number portability issues.
