Why do we call this company "Meta"? It's the same old "Facebook".


The name of the company is literally Meta. That’s why people call it that…


Given that they just shuttered their "metaverse", I'm guessing we won't have to for much longer...


If it had a female usb c connector at the other end, we could daisy chain those or connect other device on the same port (like mcu in the middle).


Great tool, only thing I miss is it doesn't show SAMBA names.


and will help reduce e-waste


With latest OS update - Apple watch series 7 decreased battery life, Siri started acting weird (sometimes I have to keep pressing crown till I finish the command, sometimes not). It stopped showing battery percentage while charging long back.

Apple is not an environment friendly company.


Imagine people in 1890s or so, hearing about this almost instant transfer of messages, news to any part of the world - would be nothing short of magical modern technology.


If they had a positive outlook on technological development, yea. But that's cultural and perhaps didn't get into full swing until the mid 1900s and has now waned. Look at today how many pessimists hate LLMs despite them being even more magical modern technology.


?? The system was completed in 1902. There had already been transatlantic telegraph cables (and I assume others) for many decades.


> though Android phones can

Interesting, as someone who has always used iPhones, wouldn't mind getting an Android phone for this.

Is there some app?


No it's provided as part of the Android OS. Very simple and intuitive to use and has been for the past 10 years since I started using it. The only thing that was annoying initially was that you couldn't pass through the WiFi that your phone is connected to but I think that was corrected in later versions of Android. For a time I was using one of my older Pixel phones as a WiFi extender to improve signal in my home's basement. Worked like a charm. I'm honestly surprised this isn't available on iOS.

While working in C, can’t count number of times I wanted to return an array


Which machine? Defibrillator or EKG?


GP likely means defibrillator. EKG along won't save life and it requires training to read EKG. An AED has a built-in smart EKG that can identify shockable fibrillation. There is also automatic CPR machine that can do chest compression. However manual CPR is still light years better than no CPR.


There’s similar app for Mac OS, Focus Bar https://apps.apple.com/us/app/focusbar/id443439127?mt=12
