Teenage Engineering releasing new products, prototypes of which they casually had on a table during an interview... from two years ago. Hardware sure demands significant time and effort.

By “full Twitter experience” they actually mean: “easier to experiment shuffling your timeline, insert ads and collect information to sell to advertisers”.

@neilsardesai It would be neat for revealing EXIF data of an image, like in the back of photo prints sometimes information is printed.

TikTok is an app. It's very similar to Vine. Folks use it to create and share short videos that are hilarious and often hard to understand unless you are familiar with the meme. I'll try my best to explain my favs. In the meantime, download the app because it's so good.

@AMarkdalen No, it didn’t. That was a very limited edition. The products are from 2020, weren’t available in most countries where IKEA is present and then only in selected stores. Also not on their online stores, with the full collection only lasting a couple of months.

@rsms Waiting for reviews to see if that's only to support features like 'spatial audio' and the camera's 'center stage', thus enabling the rest of the monitor to work on macOS 10.15. Like Airpods Max officially requiring macOS 11.1 or later, but they work on 10.15.

Twitter will get torched for not stopping this kind of behaviour, but it’s worth noticing that it remains the most ‘open’ social platform, allowing third-party analysis such as this. FB+IG have been closing down access to their platforms/APIs, becoming even bigger black boxes.

Facebook becoming the North Korea of the Internet, even less open to the outside. In the long-term the fix is way worse than the issue, closing down access and independent analysis of abuse, while reinforcing Facebook’s monopoly and profitability.
