Because he wants to appeal to republicans in a time when they control all the levers of the federal government. He’s desperate not to be in their crosshairs and is trying to offer up an alternative is my read.
Facebook Portal TV. What a great device: “call mom” and it calls on her TV where she can see whom it is instead of her tiny phone screen. The cam was good, it panned and zoomed to focus on the speaker really well, and the sound was great. It’s a small unit that also does zoom and prime and Netflix and Plex. The M assistant is good, but it basically leverages a built-in Alexa for external control.
Then Cambridge analytica. Every new review is like “this is an amazing device, but don’t get it because fuck Facebook.”
Now it’s been orphaned: voice control is busted. No apps updated or installed. But if you had the apps installed they still work. TV calling still works if my mom can find and figure the remote.
And there’s been no replacement tech, which makes this unit that much better than everything else since it’s peerless.
There ya go. We bought 1 and then 3 more for family just before COVID.
We got one of these for my grandmother and it was the only thing she could figure out how to use. Cell phones were too complicated but she could just tap on a picture of someone and call them and that was simple enough. Downside is she was calling all hours of the day and night LOL.
no love for apple but what has meta done that was good let alone great in ever
and why did he throw away mainstream appeal just so he could go on a losers talk show only nazis listen to?
