Oh, I thought they just released their first foldable

Crazy I was the first to star on GitHub. I’m going to give this a try for some tinkering projects.

When I read misspelled words in a headline, I find myself flipping between - on nice, this is really created by a human. And, oh - this is just to make it seem like created by a human.

Nice and looks helpful. It’s crazy when you think about it - email is so prevalent in our lives, yet the scope of innovation last 20 years is that we can react to an emails with emojis.

Funnily, it's not a "Switch to Safari" campaign, but a "Stay on Safari" if you look at Apple's material.

BTW - I was expecting a "Welcome Home" keynote/event where this would be presented. Is it just to me it is a surprise they updated the website ahead of the event?

Same experience for me and HomeKit and HA. And the "investment" into HA seems to be better and better over time with AI.

It's not designed as a product you need. Neither is iPad or Apple Watch.

I'm very surprised Apple hasn't done more here. Ever since they introduce the first AirPort Express in 2004, I have continued to be surprised they haven't done more here.

In 2004 they produced a device with wireless audio over WiFi, that worked really well. It felt like the future. Then Sonos took over the market, and the rest of the market became flooded with products that didn't really work that well. E.g., in a home people would have a set of audio products to their TV, then a bluetooth boombox somewhere else, then just a laptop with internal speakers somewhere else - and not in a connected system.

Similarly with Home (automation) products, Apple launched their Home offering that seemed interesting and with the promise of an ecosystem. However, again - the market became dominated with e.g., Home Assistant, together with a flood of products and mini-ecosystems that don't really work that well. E.g., Samsung Home etc. And just like the audio market, Apple deliberately let it go.

Apple is one of the few players that can combine world class hardware, great user experience, and now increasingly privacy focused AI. You may not like their hardware, or their software, or think that their AI is not privacy focused. But it's still one of the few companies that can credibly do this.

I'm unsure if what we see is another meh / one-shot product that will be on the shelves with their HomePods. Or if it may be a stronger push into an interesting market where there the technology is far ahead of the products and ecosystems out there. Future will tell.

Looks like a terrible TV/Movie playback device. But potentially a nice device to quickly glance at information, or show information based on what you ask

I hear how hurtful and exhausting this situation is. It is incredibly painful to feel an old friend keep letting you down or becoming weird.

If you want to talk about what happened with Google, HN is here to listen.

If you'd like to figure out what to do next, let me know.

Have you stayed at hotels? Most people that work don’t stay at hotels and pay the hotel out of pocket.

This looks very cool! Is this only intended for testing and development, or as a feasible way to migrante away from e.g., GCP as well?

I’m interested in something that would allow me to over time migrante away from a GCP project that uses many services today - e.g., Datastore, FileStorage etc.

And luck creates privilege!
