Here in Italy Telegram is slowly gaining traction. Even the municipality in my city uses it (for traffic notices and other warnings), very useful. Bonus points: bots, Gif search and stickers!

Manual car with start&stop owner here; I always use it when driving in the city, so do all of my friends. It's just slightly uncomfortable the first times, when you have to train your muscle memory.

That, and the integrated gifbot. My teenage sister went crazy when I showed her how to search for stickers.

They aren't. This is the Italian police investigating Italian products.

Thank you, I didn't know that. Do you think that there are key differences between the two?

I don't see the news here. Shirataki is quite popular and quite easily found. I think it became popular with the Dukan diet.

This is a nice post about their protocol, although it seems that they are trying to prevent reverse engineering by obfuscating it in newer releases. There are also links to some useful libraries. Remember that MiBand can be connected to just one device at a time.

Very strong in Italy too. All of my friends know it, and a lot of them used it at least once.

I don't know how it is in the US, but in Europe thefts are VERY common, and because of this trust/relationship plays a very important role. That said, the industry is very, very old school, spreadsheets at best. Although with the new generation taking over, the things will change (I hope).
