Really? I use it daily. So handy for junk links or stuff I want to search, eg products where I'd get tracked (more...yes I know there's still tracking at a higher level)
Is OP here? Curious as to what they used for geolocation
Makes sense, it was launched in 2021

Thought the same thing, and agree completely with jiggawatts. Troy does very well off the back of this relationship, and on that note I hate how confusing the marketing language of "Microsoft Regional Director and MVP" is.

Wow! Didn't hear about this. What test did you get done? I'm hoping it wasn't whole genome or exome?

Just using the TV web browser. Do you have kids? Mine are so easily distracted in the mornings. It spawned from the bewilderment of them having so few jobs to do in the morning (compared to us parents) and the complete lack of focus

My side project now is a websockets based dashboard that acts as a todo list for my easily distracted children in the morning. The tv remote is an lg one that can be used as a mouse, and they pop the tasks on the screen. I used chatgpt to generate some kawaii style stickers (think big eyes and sparkes). They love it. The reward is (in the morning at least) however many Blueys they can watch before the predetermined departure time.

A few improvements to go, but from what I hear from other parents (without raising it) is that they'd take advantage of something like this.

That or move the toggle up closer to the drop down, though then you have to consider moving the volume slider

That's some strange UX! Usually a drop down without a button would be associated with an affirmative choice in this day and age.
I don't think it's that low of a bar. Threads benefited from easy account creation and promotion from Instagram (2b MAU?)

Bluesky started from word of mouth invite only

Sounds similar to how it works here in Australia
Blame governments for regulating medical devices? You're going to need a better argument than that. This is entirely on Apple not applying for regulatory approval.
Maybe I missed it but did you make or buy the Faraday cage?
What an experience! Can I ask your role in visiting?
But I believe Google is a famous company. And they're the ones who screwed up!

I've got a startup in this field in Australia. We're still working on the retail pipeline but we're up and running for bespoke cases. We deal mostly with IVF, and then stuff like CVD, and rare diseases. WGS, Methylation...
