Tried @Starlink on @United for the first time. Spectacular! At present, this is primarily on their regional jets. The two transatlantic flights were @PanasonicAero which has the highest latency I've ever seen on a flight. (Maybe their satellites are in lunar orbit?!?) United *was* my third-choice carrier; now, whenever a segment has Starlink, it is my first. EOY2027 can't come fast enough...

I received my Humane #AIpin today. For a 1G product, the hardware is surprisingly good. You can tell that some "adults" were involved in realizing that side of the product. However, it has a ways to go before it's consumer-usable -- @MKBHD is spot on about the usability issues. In a few weeks, my goal is to post a missive about where the architecture "went wrong". This is a critical, but not negative, remark about the AI pin 1G.
Despite my poor eye-hand coordination, I'm able to use the device. My first interaction:
MTR: What is the cellular signal strength?
AI pin: The cellular signal strength is currently at a good level.
Of course, this isn't all that helpful. So:
MTR: From now on when I ask about the cellular signal strength give me a number from 0 to 5 0 being no coverage five being excellent.
AI pin: Memory created. When asked about the cellular signal strength, your Ai Pin will provide a number from 0 to 5, with 0 representing no coverage and 5 representing excellent coverage.
A minute later:
MTR: What is the cellular signal strength?
AI pin: The cellular signal strength is currently at a good level, rated 4 out of 5.
That is how an AI assistant should work...

Please allow me to vent my frustration. Tweetbot and a number of other third-party apps are now unusable because something changed on the Twitter back-end. No one outside Twitter knows what's going on. I am happy to pay extra to restore my Tweetbot access.

Some folks have asked why not outside of North America. It's the same reason that it's in the nightly build: we're evaluating the service, and this is a good way to make it available, but not wide-spread. i think of it as a "self-selecting invitation-only" system...
Our Nightly version for North America now features Brave Together, our private and unlimited video calling service based on open source @jitsinews. Click on the widget & start connecting with friends/colleagues. Feedback welcome at community.brave.com/c/nightl… for this trial version.
Technically, the only nightly channel we have is "desktop", but it would have been better to explicitly state that.
Sorry, two corrections: 1. I forgot to mention "desktop" brave only. 2. due to a mis-communication on my part, the widget won't be seen in Canada (yes, i know that Canada is in North America...). we're working on a fix for that. Mea culpa!

At the present time, we're doing desktop only... Sorry, we missed that in the original tweet.

friends - i had a conversation with a rather wise person today, who suggested we start planting #victorygardens as a common sense way to do something positive as we shelter in place. let's get that idea trending... thank you!

A blast from the past! I hope anyone reading this will find that it “aged” well…
