I'm surprised they weren't able to figure out face id and had to go back to touch id.

Apple often aggressively cuts scope like this on first generation products and then brings back the features in the future updates. Maybe it’s to provide a reason to upgrade, maybe it’s just good project management but iPhone Duo 2 having “dual FaceID” sounds like something Apple would do.

Look at the low end iPhone’s slowing getting better screens, TouchID, and then FaceID.


They would have had to make an even larger section of the OLED translucent and traded internal space for an IR dot projector and a second camera beside the main one.

It would have made an even larger splotch of the screen look odd.


I'm surprised people like Face ID so much, it very often doesn't work for me. I frequently want to unlock a phone when I'm not looking at it or my face is not visible. Having Touch ID is a feature for me.

Phone’s already expensive enough and unless they have inner and outer faceid then they need touchid anyway

They are renaming fitbit to google health too lol


Just the app, hardware trackers like the Air are still Fitbit.

Which matches what they did with Nest, keeping the hardware name but having everything live in the Google Home app.


Its been more than 5 years since the M1 came out in Nov 2020


I've been using notepadcalculator.com for years and it's been great


He says he highlighted some text then right clicked on an image to make it show as many items as possible.


I have the old version of the app pinned so it doesn't update to the new app. I occasionally check the reviews but they continue to be really bad.


Were you inspired by thumb key at all? https://github.com/dessalines/thumb-key


Does it? If it didnt exist my company would need to develop it which still puts food on my table.


In fact it probably would put more food on your table.


At the end of the video he mentions that the good store sells those as well. https://good.store/products/dishwasher-tablets?srsltid=AfmBO...


We've seen compatibility layers between x86 and arm. Am I correct in thinking that a compatibility layer between riscV and arm would be easier/more performant since they're both risc architectures?


There are already compatibility layers for x86 on RISC-V. They’re not quite as good, but progress is being made.
