Can you even access the opt out though before it hoovers up your messages and logs from the last 90 days? I didn't proceed because that didn't seem possible. The word "future" in what you quoted is doing a lot of heavy l

The simbrief and navigraph integrations directly into the working title Garmin avionics is amazing. I can link my flight plan easily and see charts on the screen in the glass cockpit in VR. And if I'm flying steam gauge I can have a VR

When I was working on a pet project to teach myself how to build a scoring model based on analysis of images on mobile I went down a whole rabbit hole on how to detect where the image is in a photo to draw a box around it and then compress

I feel like there was a Cambrian explosion of UI design around the period of Geocities and web 2.0 sites like Digg. The Web was still in the early days of being monetized, and it had a fraction of the investment it has in terms of dedicated

What does T-Mobile get as part of this partnership from an ads and data standpoint? I'd be surprised if there weren't something they were getting out of this that tied into their own ad solutions. https://www.t-mobile.c

I wonder if we'll see a point in the next few years where we have a keyboard key that only works if you have a subscription to Microsoft to access their AI, which I'm guessing we'll have to do at some point because all of thi
