Not free, but worth it for messaging to solve the real pain points that iMessage and Google Messages users deal with while trying to communicate across the aisle.

This was never enough for me. On paper Pidgin did the trick, but you still had to remember which of your friends preferred which platform, you had multiple "friend" entries for the same person, many used silly pseudonyms that they

I wonder if these events are connected. Imagine Apple hearing through the grapevine that someone had a proper iMessage implementation and that they planned to release it for Android. Perhaps one way to get in front of that would be to commi

Furthermore some implementations cannot provide hardware attestation, so it probably couldn't be limited to implementations which can, if the EU really means "interoperable"

What exactly is considered bypassing DRM in the case of Beeper Mini, and what copyrighted content is the DRM protecting? This might be news, but the DMCA laws don't allow you to restrict software which is compatible with your own, espe

But there are consequences. Even if the financial costs are not meaningful to a big company, the backlash created by such actions can have wide ranging implications, from lost sales to loss of the public mindshare, to attracting legislative

After digging in more I believe that is only done in that proof of concept. If that's the case then it's too bad they didn't go back and update the POC to avoid the need for the binary.

What is the project? On what grounds did they C&D you?

They could definitely just release an app for Android instead of opening the protocol, but as an Android user I'd reject it for the same reason I reject my Apple friends suggesting we all use WhatsApp or Signal: I don't want diffe

By that logic the Outlook for Windows team should be responsible for patching Gmail for Android. This argument is silly. You could use this line of reasoning to justify why all computers should use the same OS from the same vendor. Of cours

It is built in to the Share dialog, so it is accessible anywhere the Share dialog is shown. And when you copy something to clipboard, the popup at the bottom includes Nearby Share. Where else would you like to see it? Certainly not every iO

Innovation is a good thing, but for many items on this list there's no more innovation happening. Google Cast and Airplay have been mostly unchanged for the last ten years, and the same is true for Airdrop and Nearby Share. You can def

Or so that there isn't a duopoly lock in for a new phone OS or an android fork that doesn't have Google Play Services on it. Just like Google Cast and Airplay, this should be an open standard, not a pair of incompatible proprietar

See my comment below for why this isn't the interoperability I'm interested in. I don't want to use Apple's service, I want Bluetooth tag pinging to be standard across Apple, Tile, and Android ecosystem devices so that t

It would be preferable if Find My capable smart devices could forward tag pings on to non-Apple owners and vice versa. Right now, Find My is strong in the US where iPhones are very common, but it works worse in places where most phones are

Well messaging for one thing... Some others: - Find my device features including Bluetooth ping networking (airtags, Tile, Android's upcoming network) - Airdrop/Nearby Share - Bluetooth LE proximity pairing (at least I doubt this

This is a great idea though done naively could cause unintended side effects. But key to the consideration today (and as pointed out by the commenter in TFA) is that not just SQL would need to be considered, especially in the dawn of the LL

Agreed-- hacking value sure, but... I guess there's just so many more pain points to solve in the home theater/discrete audio space that it bothers me a bit to have talented folks twiddling about on problems so handily solved by t

Agreed, yak shave or not, home theater automation is woefully behind, lots of room for awesome stuff here.

Skip buttons on which device? The HiFi [remote] itself? I'd imagine that doesn't work in the 1-PC route either. If it does, then the problem is solved because it will have the correct effect in the 2-PC route.

In case anyone is unfamiliar, Spotify Connect is Spotify's solution for casting and remote controlling one or more Spotify speakers from a Spotify client on the same network. Any Spotify client can act as a speaker, and the system seam

The article says there is already another machine, their desktop computer which is connected to the hi-fi-- and what do you mean you can't use the skip buttons? They work fine with Spotify Connect.

That depends on the application and the use case, but good performance and good readability aren't mutually exclusive. Easy to read software might not always be the most performant, but it's far easier to improve performance in an

This is a universal truth of feedback and customer service. Every user report is an iceberg: for every 1 person there's a much more significant number of people who experienced the problem but never reported it.

Others have pointed out that you have no idea which files are useless at runtime when inspecting their filename. Executable JS does not need the .js extension to be loaded by Node.js or any other runtime environment, and on server runtimes

.npmignore is the opposite of `files`, it omits files when creating the package itself, that's different than trimming the files when the package is installed. That said, files/npmignore is the correct way to deal with this and yo

Strongly agree on minification. You should not minify or bundle anything in your NPM package. That decision should only be made by the top level project if it wishes.

I assume they are using data channels for the transfer, not the webrtc a/v streams.
