  • The biggest issue for me is compatibility.

    Swippitt works with any phone as long as there’s a case designed for it. That way, a single hub can serve a whole household of people with different phone models.

    Makes sense. Similar to the replacement phone batteries we used to have…

    At launch, it will offer cases for the iPhone 14, 15, and 16 series, and the company plans to expand with Samsung Galaxy S series cases by the end of 2025.

    Soo… They’ll support some iPhones at launch, and in about a year, they hope to support some Galaxy phones. If being a hub is one of your selling points, that’s a very underwhelming, limited list.



  • Who’s “they”? This is a university study, not one sponsored by Budweiser/Marlboro.

    Also, they didn’t bother separating based on legality, but did research marijuana use and no, it’s not on the rise:

    The results show that a whopping 66% of 12th graders reported no use of alcohol, marijuana, cigarettes or e-cigarettes in the past 30 days. This is the highest abstinence rate recorded since the survey began tracking it in 2017.

    Also surprising is that marijuana usage among teens is declining – despite a notable upward trend for adults across the US.








  • Lol, “access your data” is a little different from “overwrite cookies, now sending all promised creator revenue to Honey”. Also, it found discounts, but stores had full control over how much, and even if it didn’t give you a discount, it still claimed all referral revenue… Don’t act like that was all obvious, intuitive, and known by you, it wasn’t.
