Also works great with other sources like an Xbox

I used a Pro Display XDR as my daily driver at work and the difference is minimal

they flopped this royally, just like windows mobile. they created a shitty ux by shoving it inside the bing app, then they decided to charge for it instead of capturing all enterprise value.

lastly, the product has stalled and missed on their biggest opportunity which is tapping into the data. you can think it's because of how complex it must be, but then openai and everybody else did it.

it's truly a lesson in product mismanagement, once again, from microsoft

Look at examples such as Singapore, Dubai and many others that adopted an entrepreneurial attitude and figured out the infrastructure to support that growth.

When will they blame when the immigrants don’t come but the problems remain?

I’d say most Americans understand the value of highly skilled migration. It’s how America stays #1, it’s how they have the best companies, and bring the most value to their nation.

Meanwhile in EU, any move to attract talent is seen as net-negative, unfair and detrimental to the culture and livability. Their negativity is a self fulfilling prophecy, but it will be a very costly and hard pill to swallow, just like the UK is seeing after Brexit.

It uses an on-device model for language detection and results are sub 0.3s thanks to groq

It's one of the sad sides of tech: we have all this knowledge about accessibility and this is either siloed or just not talked about. Designers are learning about aesthetics, color theory, typography but not about making your product support as many humans as possible - which is a business outcome!

Some tried from different angles but it seems people just don't feel confident enough to leave the ecosystem. Google keeps pushing sub-par phones. No one has delivered a robust face recognition tech as good as Face ID. Screen and camera quality are almost there but never better in a distinctive manner.

In fact, no one is trying to compete with Apple anymore. Android manufacturers abandoned the high-end market. The tablet and smartwatch markets are pretty much dominated by iPad and Apple Watch.

And as the service category expansion shows, people are getting comfortable with the idea of paying a monthly price for good tech. If competition eventually becomes a problem, they can just start bundling things up like Amazon does: iPhone Upgrade Plan + Apple Music + Cloud Storage + Apple Care + (eventual) TV content.

Most (if not all) of this can be avoided if you spend time after development on getting feedback from customers, doing interviews, usability testing and most importantly trying to find the right commercial angle to develop the business. For example:

- Is the game localised in different languages? - Why targeting Linux and Windows, and not testing/developing on Mac or mobile platforms? - Why not create a end-of-year sale or bundle the game with others for promotion?

A much better metric is to look at net disposable income after tax, if you're focusing on the "making money" aspect.

If you're focusing on the life quality aspect you'll also have to consider mortgage, car ownership and time off.

Example:

- In Netherlands you have 24 business days of time off, where you can take them from the moment your contract begins (not after 1 year working), and you can take them however you want.

- Taking a mortgage in Netherlands is currently cheaper than renting and most houses in the "sweet spot" cost around 300k euros, which is ridiculously cheap. Monthly payments are subsidized by the government (for some years) which makes it cheaper than renting.

To summarise, every country has a lot to offer, and at the end of the day life is not just about money.

Also, there also has to be a consideration for the 100 MILLION users that might depend on this service. Imagine companies that depend on this to communicate efficiently and businesses that rely on this platform to take orders etc.

If they disobey the law, it must have consequences, but not at the cost of hurting your own people.

Taking it to an extreme, would they also take down a bank website if they didn't comply with a similar request and stop people from withdrawing money? I don't think so.

This takedown will not help in the investigation in any ways. So it seems the justice system isn't working for their main customer: the people.
