Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Yep, it’s an App”.
For today’s Tech news we’re getting back to basics, you know, like you, know, Wheels chisels fire. You know, classic Tech show this one to your grandpa he’ll love it. Many critics have said that the rabbit R1 should have just been an app rather than a standalone device, but they’re in luck, because it turns out that it probably already is, according to a report from Android authority, the rabbit R1, the AI device. That is definitely not a phone appears to run on a version of Android and its interface is actually an Android application. Android authority acquired the r1’s Launcher APK from a source and they found they were able to install and run it on a pixel 6A. They were then able to create an account and interact with a device as if it were a genuine R1 a rabbit. Ceo Jesse Leu has released a statement claiming that the R1 interface is not an app.
It’S not an app stop, saying it’s an app and that rabbit o is cloud-based with very bespoke Android, open source project and lower level firmware modifications, but that really just means that most of their services, Special Sauce is still essentially android-based just running in the cloud and Not on the hardware they’re selling it I mean there have even been a couple reports of people sideloading and running other Android apps on the R1. So rabbit has argued in the past that building an app for a smartphone means being limited by that device devices pre-existing hardware and app systems, which is fair enough. But that approach has also wound up chaining. The R1 experience to another even more limited device, and I only have so many pockets and a Max one device per pocket rule it’s getting complicated.
The FCC has announced a nearly $ 200 million fine against three of the largest American telecoms for selling their customers, realtime location data without consent; tragically, it’s not $ 200 million each, but at at least it’s something, I’m not getting any of it. So I don’t know why I, but at least we have some shot in Freud here. Verizon will be fined 47 million AT .
