Born is the memes.

The Google Nearby feature thing (Google's coming version of Apple Air Tags) will require a constant background Bluetooth scanner to listen for the tags.

My opinion: that stays off. Looking for your lost phone, luggage, or ex-wife? Im not going to help you if i dont know you. Buy a new item, take better care of it.

Mine, I add some unicode emojis to make it look nice.
First line for weather details.
Then a blank space, or for alerts if any.
And a calendar line.

Patrick foretold!
"We take this thing here... and push it all the way over here."

I was going to say prune juice. Natural fruits and things - tastes, texture, cultivars, etc, change over time. "Peak" banana is the Cavendish, but peak banana taste was from the now extinct Big Mike cultivar. So it's curious to think how the current plum and pune has faired all the way out to Worf glass.

This is interesting. I use OTA antenna tv everyday, almost exclusively. I almost forgot OTA HDTV still uses the mpeg2-ts, similar to the dvd codec. Newer tv hardwares (>2010-ish) all can decode mpeg4, theoretically, since they utilize internet streaming apps and services.
I smell a new format war a comin'.
I say, go right for mpeg4 h.265, or higher. Instead of mixing mpeg2 and mpeg4, like the video demonstrated. Because no way am i going to "buy" a DRM-protected thing for every broadcaster.... I'm currently pulling-in 20+ stations.

And that may be the other format war... to pay or not to pay.

Also the three people from the "distracted boyfriend" meme were all stock photo models.

By streamers ignoring all the decades of broadcasting experience, and all established what's fair air-time for both content and commercial. That's the frustration... they're rewriting standards... "my company, my content, my timings, my bottom-line". And doing it poorly. And at top speed.
