That's why I found the "astroturfing" mention interesting. Epic's side of this arrangement has been marketing and astroturfing extensively . The entire launch of the piece was a marketing blitz.

GA has always been a raw deal. Businesses that use it don’t realise they’re effectively giving away their customers to any competitor that pays Google more.

This seems plausible as the group-volume feature isn't unique to Sonos (and predates them), however their specific means of implementing it likely is unique and patentable.

I'd be pretty happy if regulators followed these all the way down into other operators (especially as uneven application of law tends to look a little like a shakedown.) It would do a lot for the internet in general. The business model

I think a lot of people held on on account of so many people being laid off and many companies instigating hiring freezes. This very much feels like the exhale. It also seems to time well with the antiwork movement, which in my opinion exis

I’m guessing the issue is because there isn’t a lot of merit in saying Apple and Google are totally stitched up when the options change by region and for the plaintiff there are at least 4 additional options other than Google. EG Ecosia is

The thing that stuck out to me: the length of time before getting an MRI. I notice this is something that changes from medical system to medical system. Where I am, I could get an MRI tomorrow if the doctor requested it, the matching repor

I think the scandal here is that a bunch of AI-driven features were all renamed to a nomenclature that includes the word "Siri" a few versions ago. Siri-Suggest, Ask-Siri, Siri-Knowledge and so on. Turning off Ask-Siri doesn'

I agree if one chooses to invest in riskier investments, but it's straight forward to invest in financial products that provide a rate that move in lock-step with home loan interest rates. These products are lower-earners, but there is

The 30 year loan is not a "rich get richer" scheme. The 30 year loan is a tool to allow people with limited earning potential access to the property market, and this can open the door to passive income and generational wealth. A 3

It's only toxic for people who don't do anything with it. Even in Australia where real estate prices are insane the average 30 year loan is paid off in 14 years (note this is longer than earlier times.) Also the ability to refinan

They historically have opened source similar protocols, e.g. they open sourced rendezvous. But generally there would need to be an interoperability reason for them to do so. AirDrop seems like a good candidate for this.

I find a lot of the grief with these protocols is driven by which wifi router is in use. When using the old Apple wifi routers I never had trouble with homekit, airdrop, handoff, airplay or any of the zeroconfig network stuff: as soon as I

I have no inside information on this, but it's based on my usage of Google recently. I believe Google seem to be guessing at people's intended search query rather than performing the query based on the actual terms. This is probab

Quick question: How is Apple reporting you to the government, and Google not? When they both report to the exact same entity? (The NCMEC.) Also how do you rationalise Apple bad, everyone else Good. If Apple are actually the only company to

I'm glad to be part of the pre-internet generation where the limit to our cringe is a fleeting feeling of embarrassment while hazily remembering it, rather than having it played back in high definition at some inopportune moment.
