Good Bye! Google Allo messenger.

🎤Google recently launched a Siri Shortcut that lets you talk to Google Assistant through Siri on your iPhone. You Need to say "Hey Siri, OK Google," to bring up Google.

Elon Musk yesterday at the WSJ CEO Council: "Starship is a hard, hard, hard, hard project." "This is a profound revolution in access to orbit. There has never been a fully reusable launch vehicle. This is the holy grail of space technology."

The New York Times uncovered that Apple is involved in large-scale surveillance and censorship at the behest of China. It is sad, but not surprising: big tech companies often choose profits over freedoms. Apple is very efficient at pursuing their business model, which is based on selling overpriced, obsolete hardware to customers locked in their ecosystem. Every time I have to use an iPhone to test our iOS app I feel like I’m thrown back into the Middle Ages. The iPhone’s 60Hz displays can’t compete with the 120Hz displays of modern Android phones that support much smoother animations. The worst part of Apple’s tech though is not clunkier devices or outdated hardware. Owning an iPhone makes you a digital slave of Apple – you are only allowed to use apps that Apple lets you install via their App Store, and you can only use Apple’s iCloud to natively back up your data. It’s no wonder that Apple’s totalitarian approach is so appreciated by the Communist Party of China, which – thanks to Apple – now has complete control over the apps and data of all its citizens who rely on iPhones.

World's very tiny camera 1] Most of the breakthroughs scientists are producing on the micro scale are consistently both fascinating and freaky. Airborne microbots, for example, will “float on the wind” in order to study climate changes and the spread of disease. Now, in another big micro-scale breakthrough, a team of researchers from Princeton University and the University of Washington have developed a camera the size of a coarse grain of salt. And all we can think about is how this thing would be perfect as an eye for bug bots. 2] New Atlas reported on the salt grain-sized camera, which iterates on previous, micro-scale cameras. The researchers note in their paper, published in the journal Nature Communications, that “ultra-small imagers” already in existence have the small-size factor down, but not the image quality.
