They're dragging buzzwords through the water, so see whether they get any nibbles.

Your MBA/PHB eats this shit right up.

I thought everything was a dollar!

Yes, although it's not like it's constantly streaming your camera to the cloud. These things are basically Bluetooth webcams connected to an app on your phone, so they only send snapshots or short video clips when requested. Local processing is minimal, and if you're offline you can only use basic voice controls to take pictures or record videos.

I thought Satellite GPS was a "legacy sensor"--location tracking is primarily done via Wifi AP and Bluetooth tracking now.

Get with the times, Modi.

So you can open and close your garage door from your phone, of course.

Gee, I hope they don't do anything untoward with the company. Without Eventbrite, how else will people find events that fuel their passions and enrich their lives...

I don't know but if this was their best idea, I'd hate to see the ones they left on the table...

But it's "human-centered" design! Humans don't like to see gross charging ports or distressing buttons. They like things to be sleek and smooth with the controls hidden away so they can marvel at their own cleverness.

God I can't stand designer bullshit speak. You can take your "design language" and cram it up your ass.

Well I, for one, and absolutely pumped to see this.

Yes, but I have a feeling it comes down to licensing, and until they work out the terms with rights holders they will disable it for everyone. Then, once they work something out, they will graciously enable it for higher-tier subscribers with additional licensing fees. Then everybody wins.

"TAKE OFF EVERY ZIG"
-Andrew Kelley

Ah the classic memes are still good.

This is the first I've even heard of Zig. Has anyone here used it before?

Yes eventually we will be like the great hymenopterans with a single ruling creature and millions of mindless drones to feed it.

It's not about making them better, it's about making them cheaper. I don't think they can make money on a mass-market device with everyone and their grandma asking this thing dumb questions constantly. Think Alexa but every API call costs $1.50 in compute to run. It needs to be cheaper to get that kind of market segment cornered.
