Well, it would be nice if it could search too, as that's Microsoft's selling point at least. But the results the AI suggests are worse than using Bing search itself.

Ironically, it got popular when it still tried to get users to subscribe to a monthly payment. And as it was one of the few messaging platforms to be (in the future) paid at all, I cannot understand why it ever got popular...

Well, sure, Meta cancelled the subscription plans later but to me it sounded a red flag in the first place.

Maybe because shorts are short and un-seekable, so more "engagement".

But... they could've already done that with current tools? Not like these change the package ID often.

Wait... YouTube Kids has ads without Premium?! I would've hoped they'd keep the ads away from kids at least.

Is it durable just because it's thick, or can we use this tech in mobile screens too?

But is the QR reusable? If not, you'll have to somehow prove your identity or existing number ownership to get a new one.

I can understand that part, but not why providing such update timeline would be "excessive" or "crazy", if there are ways to achieve it.

DDG has a built-in option to determine whether you want to see ads or not.
