It's not very 'connected' in that sense? Just connected to your phone to sync your tracked steps.

And it's borderline fraud, I think I saw an apartment on Streeteasy where they were able to 'fit' an entire desk, drawers and a queen size bed, obviously these image models just scale these down to proportions that just don't exist in real life.

the actual bedroom could only fit queen size bed ;(

Domain unreachable being marked as 'dead' just makes this whole list kinda not helpful?

Just the first item I can see https://tooldirectory.ai/tools/letterdrop-ai-content-creatio... but the site just looks fine? https://letterdrop.com/

Maybe some of these are not really dead but thriving enough they are able to get a proper .com domain :^)

A personal use case: my local gym that issues only physical barcode cards -- I used a different app (similar in this style) that allowed me keep it on my apple watch / iPhone instead

This is especially annoying and just incredibly creepy -- I was watching a clip of Smiling Friends on YouTube (via my Apple TV), and I suddenly got a banner telling me to watch this on HBO Max.

I never felt more motivated to pi-hole the TV.

I don't think so, compared to transcontinental, which lately (before Starlink) has been using the cell towers on the ground + satellite backhaul -- even paying would probably still result in a garbage experience.

> The disclosures caused alarm among senior Microsoft executives, sparking concerns that some of its Israel-based employees may not have been fully transparent about their knowledge of how Unit 8200 used Azure when questioned as part of the review.

Highly likely, or at least a bit naive -- Completely reasonable to have local staff for a contract this big, but Microsoft should have independently 'double-checked' sooner

No, if an iPhone is iCloud locked, you're not able to use the phone unless you enter the password of the account.

The only economic benefit I see with credits are the rewards/protections it provides for everyday purchases. Here in the states, we don't have a cap on interchange rates for merchants. This trickles down into benefits (For example on my Amex card)

- 1 year extra warranty on top of my purchases, with return protection if the merchant

- Points / 'Cash Back' (much higher multiplier) that can be used to purchase airline tickets or gift cards

This is essentially free money and protections if you use the credit card and fully pay it off, but obviously, most Americans carry balances over and the interest charges basically negate any rewards.

> US law does not apply to foreign nationals residing in a foreign country.

I don't think parent meant it in the context of US Law, but more as a general statement, is it a reasonable precaution by MS to ban X solely on the actions of their government?

> You won’t be able to update things like Wi-Fi network settings, add additional Wifi devices, or run speed tests.

Wow, I'm not familiar if users are forced to use the Google Home app, but that seems a bit drastic to stop users from even changing the most basic settings?
