<p>I always thought the browser, coworking space (<a href="https://hub.kagi.com/" rel="nofollow">https://hub.kagi.com/</a>), and mail (<a href="https://kagimail.com/" rel="nofollow">https://kagimail.com/</a>) are a distraction.<p>I've been a paying customer since 04/2022, and have the early adopter badge. I was easily doing 600-800 searches/month, and now I do 400-300 searches. I think that's the reality. More and more people are asking ChatGPT or whatever for search.</p>

<p>Those domains have been around since forever (also <a href="https://orionfeedback.org" rel="nofollow">https://orionfeedback.org</a>). I guess it was easier to just set up a new platform instead of integrating it, or building something from scratch.<p>I haven't checked in a while, but I'm sure there's been conversations about this on discord as well (<a href="https://help.kagi.com/kagi/support-and-community/discord-server.html" rel="nofollow">https://help.kagi.com/kagi/support-and-community/discord-ser...</a>).

<p>Because you'd have a ton of downtime and they'd rather hide it if they could. :)<p>I used to work at a very big cloud service provider, and as the initial comment mentioned, we'd get a ton of escalations/alerts in a day, but the majority didn't necessarily warrant a status page update (only affecting X% of users, or not 'major' enough, or not having any visible public impact).<p>I don't really agree with that, but that was how it was. A manger would decide whether or not to update the status page, the wording was reviewed before being posted, etc. All that takes a lot of time.</p>

<p>It doesn't require a WiFi device to work.<p>> If you’d like to prevent your pet’s movement from causing motion notifications, you can exclude pet motion in your WiFi Motion settings by turning on the Exclude Small Pets feature.

<p>Fair enough, but it keeps working with your (old) sim. iMessage deregisters every time, and it stops working for me. And you have to head back in settings and register again.<p>I've found the process to be very buggy and rarely works.</p>

<p>SMS is definitely not free. You may have a bundle that includes X (or unlimited) amount of SMS, but there are plenty of subscriptions out there (maybe not in the US) that charge by the SMS, or come with bundles of only having, say, 50 free SMS per month.<p>In all fairness, no one uses SMS, and no one uses iMessage (outside of the US maybe?).<p>WhatsApp is omnipresent in Singapore. For example, every business, every support channel, every delivery company uses WhatsApp. WhatsApp QR codes are everywhere (similar to QQ/wechat in CN).<p>Most iPhone users I know in Singapore never even set up their iMessage (which is also only available on iOS and is a total pain to get to work if you're dabbling in various sim cards, as is very common in SEA). So yes, there's a very good reason WhatsApp is very popular in some parts of the world (similar to BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) until quite recently in Indonesia). It's become too big to fail and took over a very very big portion of (private/business) communication in many parts of the world. And it 100% needs more regulation.</p>
