Facebook is lacking access to the interesting data. If you are in the Google ecosystem then your private and business life is likely already there.

Kagi is using Google search behind the scenes. I think that’s why it felt so easy to switch to.

That tracks with the 'we use everybody and curate optimal results' model they've got going on, but I wouldn't be changing the search habits of decades if I didn't mean to actively reject what Google search has turned into. So, not a good way to justify a paying-them model.

Would be quite handy for gesture control. When wearing thick gloves you need to take them off to operate the current AirPods.

This was a solved problem in the 1st and 2nd generation of AirPods with tap controls[1]. I'm still surprised that they removed that feature in favor of pressure, although now that I'm reflecting more on it, I wonder if it's part of Apple using their manufacturing and engineering as a moat[2]. i.e. Tap controls are relatively easy, so once wireless earbuds became commodities, they had to figure out some way to differentiate themselves.

That said, as someone who does pottery (messy hands), wears gloves/hats (stuff in the way), and has relatively poor fine motor control, I guess I welcome any solution that doesn't mean getting clay or cold air in my hair/ear.

The battery consumption and latency of the IR cameras will be interesting though. Too sensitive, and you'll eat up your battery. Not sensitive enough, and UX suffers.

The pros have Find My -support and you can even ping the earbuds separately via the app.

Also the new model can regonize when you fall a sleep and stop the media. I think it works, but I'm not sure how quickly it detects the sleep.

Mine are older and support Find My, but only when they’re out of the case. If I can’t find my case when they’re in it, I’m stuck. Does pro do anything for that?

Yes it does! Each ear separately and the case itself.

Now that we have seen this can be done, the next question is how much effort it takes to improve it 1%. And then the next 1%. Can we make consistent improvements without spending more and more compute on each step.

The article they are referring to is 404, but based on the URL was published bit more than year ago. That's quite long time in a field that is evolving so rapidly and which even the pioneers are still figuring out.

Its not from a year ago, just 6 months ago: https://metr.org/blog/2025-07-10-early-2025-ai-experienced-o...

I think the killer is when the platform handles the transaction all the way. Instead of charging per click, platform can then take a cut of the sale.

Some people are complaining the matte finish on the LG ruins part of the experience.

Depends on if you are stuck with the subscription for life, or if there's actually a reasonable way to unsubscribe.

You're never free to unsubscribe because you become accustomed to the tools, and use the file formats, etc. (That's why I don't do subscription, ever.)

Agents are not yet very good at figuring out how things look on the screen.

Or at least in my experience this is where they need most human guidance. They can take screenshots and study those, but I’m not sure how well they can spot when things are a bit off.
