“plunges” by a whole 10%, and primarily only during the initial 2 days. Has since mostly rebounded. That is disappointing.

Will see what happens July 1st of course when apps finally stop working.

That was what I got from the article too. That the 700k was lost opportunity due to a poor user experience, not that it actually was them spending more money.

Thank you for linking the source! Seems OP was just mistaken about what they were seeing.

I was able to confirm that the database includes email address and password hash.

Uhhhh not loving that if true… Why would password hashes need to be sent all over the planet…? That’s a security bomb just ticking.

Shouldn’t each instance only need to be tracking user Metadata, with only the original users instance handling authentication…? After all my personal interaction is happening on my instance.

It’s just a fancy way of saying “Big Update #3”. I think the marketing department is using it as a play on words, like this is a “moment” you won’t forget type thing.

From a tech perspective, insanely clever to use modern phones rolling shutter mode to sample significantly more data points.

From a “is this going to cause problems for the average person” perspective - not even close. Requires 65 minutes of recorded, stable footage. The camera must be < 6 feet away if the lights are on, and the cryptography algorithm must be running during that magic hour of recording…

It does enable remote attacks, but only if all very specific requirements are met, and it requires you have access to a camera for a long period of time that is perfectly positioned.

Yeah the benefits seem to be greater on the marine side…

But even then how much better they are is essentially unknown with an awful lot of drawbacks. They weigh more which is problematic for drones, are significantly more complex to manufacture and thus are more expensive.

So unless they can quantify how much better (and for those cons they need to be significantly better) I don’t see this gaining any traction.

This is incredibly depressing to me, it’s very hard not to feel hopeless.

Ads upon ads upon ads. And then for some it is just that it is owned by Facebook.

So incredibly well stated, and I am also in the “both” camp.

It is interesting that while the jokes weren’t unique, the AI was able to offer explanations of why the jokes are funny - which should be a solid basis for the next generation to handle humor better.
