In some ways I wish they just kept building on that API instead of introducing lots of competing (or complimentary, depending on your viewpoint) frameworks and philosophies.

The real problem is very few vendors are inclined to spend the time and money to make their products truly stable & secure. Instead we churn out a firehouse of crap code for a sewage dump of cheap IoT products. I'm not sure how m

My game froze up when I bought that upgrade. Not sure if that's by design or it might have been an internet hiccup. What happens when you go to the ocean?

Let me unlock your hidden precision. The writer makes an implicit assumption you just glance at the clock with no prior info. Where seconds count, you can watch the clock until the moment it ticks. At that time you have greater precision.

"By clicking the button, you agree to our Terms of Service." Might be nice if the last 3 words of that sentence were hyperlinked. (I know the ToS is linked at the bottom of the page, but still). Also I'm not clear if the $3

Are you working your way up through the eras of CPU's? How far do you predict you'll be able to get? (Ps. Thanks for all the awesome insight you've shared)

Interesting, I had no idea there were "Sight as a Service" offerings.

Isn't there a chip design technique one could use to truly disable pins/functionality after programming, such as burning out pin lines? (Not saying it's foolproof, but could it have helped here?)

And they used the technique to demo a mock surgery inside a heart removed from a goat (left atrial appendage closure - basically seals off a portion susceptible to blood clots).

This is totally awesome and would be even more wonky if it came out on a reel of teletype tape.

Sounds exciting, but the fact their prototype is in a wristwatch form factor makes me wonder if it's aiming to be more of a media showpiece to hype investment valuation from those industry partners. Forward looking statements like &qu

Not criticizing, but I'd rather not have it in the Cloud at all.

Before the modern Cloud took shape, developers (or at least, the software they created) used to be more trust worthy . I love those classic tools from the likes of Sysinternals or Nirsoft. I didn't hesitate to give them full access to

This is great! There are so many fantastic Windows games from the pre-smartphone era, before ads, in-app purchases, etc. came along and ruined things. BTW if you liked X-Com: UFO Defense and want a blast from the past, try out The X-Com

It's telling that Android, for example, has all sorts of granular permissions you can set for an app, but "Network Access" is not one of them. My Calculator app does not need to call home. A good portion of the apps I use f
