Seems like another “product” that will be killed in 6 months, but is good for the IPO so they can say they solved law.

Even with absolutely minimal dev effort, this product will break even/become profitable.

Unless it materially moves the needle, it’s a waste of the company’s resources. On paper, Atlas Browser and Sora seemed to have greater potential than this and yet, they’ve been discontinued.

Apple killed support for three generations of Apple Watch hardware with its latest OS update: Series 6, Series 7, Series 8, and the original Apple Watch Ultra. So much for its commitment to the environment, perfectly capable hardware is being sent to the bin.

There's literally no new features on the watch. Adding in AI nonsense.

Why sent to the bin? The devices still work. I recently used my series 3 for a couple of weeks and it worked surprisingly well.

Application developers generally don’t support outdated or unsupported OS versions. It’s only a matter of time before updates stop being released or apps start to break.

Am super salty about them killing support for the original Apple Watch Ultra. I, along with many others, bought it on launch day as both an Apple tragic / early adopter and to support what I thought was going to be an exciting new platform.

Instead we barely got a new feature over the 4 years since it launched, and now its been killed (from a software support pov) way ahead of schedule of the vast majority of other Apple devices.

For shame.

I thought it was understood that Apple gives hardware 5 years.

If the watch still works with the current OS on it, what's the issue?

Apps won't work anymore.

The Stripe Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition (formerly the BT Young Scientist) is Ireland's biggest school science competition, held every year in Dublin.

The winners are often kids whose parents happen to be experts in some domain.

There are certainly some genuinely bright kids in the mix, but it feels a bit unfair on those who don't have parents "helping" them.

"Openly expressing frustration or discontent with company decisions creates a negative atmosphere and undermines team morale."

A little ironic, given that roughly a third of the company reportedly resigned.

I won’t be taking management advice from them, it may work if you drink the Kool-Aid, but it otherwise seems to be their way or the door.

The same company that says politics don’t belong at work has DHH using its company blog to comment on Tommy Robinson’s march.
