I wasn’t aware Android phone makers could choose the default search engine. Is that true across the globe or only in the EU? Also if you look at global market share of smartphone manufacturers, only Samsung is competitive with Apple. Samsung is closest to Apple in the US market too, but it isn’t really close.
The other piece of info we don’t have is did Apple have fat offer letters from other search engines or was Apple serious about making their own search engine, thus another competitor to Google’s core business and their ad revenue stream.
To be fair Android OEMs are using Android, you know, Google’s mobile OS. They are paying Apple a premium because they own their own OS and have significant market share.
I pretty much exclusively drink out of Yeti drinkware. You can get the specific travel mug which I’m sure is great, but I mostly drink coffee at home and use a more standard style mug.
I also have their rambler cups which are bigger, but you can still put in hot coffee since the outside won’t get hot. Love the Yeti drinkware and managing temperature is super simple. Put the lid on if you want it hot (or cold) for hours or leave it off if you need it to cool off a little quicker. Plus everything being completely dishwasher safe is what I love most. I don’t have to hand wash anything for a nice mug. The only compromise in my opinion is they are expensive, but worth it.

I think they need to upgrade all v3 supercharges to 1,000 volts or at least announce a plan to do so to get Hyundai, Kia, & Lucid to sign up.
This is great news! I look forward to learning more about this new joint venture company. Let’s hope they really move on this can start installing stations by next year. We need another network that is reliable other than just Tesla.
I’m on iOS and purchased Reeder. Some of the other apps have some nice features from what I read, I just didn’t want to pay a monthly subscription for an RSS feed.
Reeder has been great so far and I like that it has the ability to follow mastodon users and YouTube channels built in. The twitter integration is broken for obvious reasons, but I’m fine with that.
Agreed. I also downloaded a rss reader and am doing better about actually reading articles instead of going to comments to get the synopsis.
This is correct. I almost worked for them. They also make (or at least did) make the pump/sprayer for swifter wet jets, Hoover and dirt devil vacuums, and I’m sure I’m forgetting some others. Their HQ is where I first saw a 3d printer like 15 years ago. It was a pretty interesting company.
