Here's a link to the bill if you are interested in who sponsored and cosponsored it. It's a total of 24 people, so it had a fair bit of support. If you live in the district of one of these people you might consider contacting them

Being able to search photos with queries like "show me photos of me and teeray" is pretty useful. What I really want is my phone to transcribe all of my phone calls to a Notes document. Since it isn't recording an audio conve

I'm still upset that they dropped the Smart Keyboard Folio. For me, that was the perfect keyboard case. I was hoping some third party would copy the design and release a new case but it never happened.

If I were to bet on what would get a Microsoft Discord server shut down, I would have put money on discussions of the ties between Microsoft executives and Epstein. They should be happy if the worst thing that's happening is a mildly d

At least investors like Amazon can afford to lose their investment ($50 billion). That would be like a normal person losing a few thousand dollars. It hurts, but life would go on.

It's not clear to me what the net outcome is. I've mostly owned Android devices but for my family I've always recommended iOS devices because they are more locked down.

That's true. How can you judge if Google's plan is a good one? Add up the harms caused by the new rules and weigh that against the reduction in harm and see where the balance is? I have a hard time believing the net outcome for th

Something like 7 iOS phones are sold every second of the day and there are even more Android phones sold. The number of people who care about this issue is far too few for any kind of boycott to be noticed by the handset makers. The only op
