Apple is moving into smart-home stuff, so Sonos would be a good acquisition. Lots of high-end users and easy wins in terms of fixing broken functionality.

Ah yes I've always wanted this to be a “video-first” platform. That's exactly what I want Twitter to be.

TechCrunch

X launches a new TV app “on several app stores” in beta, as part of an effort to court advertisers, creators, and partners around a “video-first platform”

Years ago, Twitter tried but eventually walked away from building TV apps after getting a lukewarm reception.

eg, you can imagine a world where banks breaks away from Apple Pay and running their own payment code on the NFC chip - but Apple being stubborn doesn't let them trigger it with a double tap of the standby button, so you have to unlock and go into an app manually first.

Apple says developers can offer NFC transactions using the iPhone's Secure Element, separate from Apple Pay, starting in iOS 18.1, with “associated fees”

The EU's regulatory superpowers in action! Though I hope this doesn't break the UX elegance of Apple Pay as it currently exists.

Funny admission that no one is paying to use this feature that absolutely no one wants.

X starts rolling out audio and video calling to all users, after previously limiting the feature to Premium subscribers; users can disable calling in settings

Fascinating video. Not just because it exists at all (is someone worried about shareholders?), but because it drops in a massive concession: That eye-tracking is going to be how these things work now. He says Meta is going to bring back eye-tracking after removing before.

Very curious whether Britain will inherit these new rules just because it's easier to administer British users as part of Europe, or if we'll be treated separately. (As far as I'm aware our Digital Markets bill isn't as explicit as the EU's DMA on stuff like this?).

Trying to shape AI tech to protect jobs is a bad idea since no one can predict which technologies will augment humans and which will simply replace their labor

Instead, we should empower workers and create mechanisms for redistribution.  —  I've been to a number of meetings and panels recently … Tweets: @jackstilgoe , @emmabgo , and @psyt...

Before we lose our minds about this grim news, worth considering in the context of Musk enabling longer video uploads for Blue subscribers - could be a broader pivot to video with no money changing hands. (Or maybe it'll turn out Musk is paying him, who knows?) https://twitter.com/...

Must admit I'm a bit sceptical of drawing strong conclusions from this claim about Ukraine tweets. It's conceivable that Musk ordered it given his other stated views on the conflict BUT it isn't obvious to me why it couldn't simply be another disinformation management thing. https://twitter.com/...
