I read the title and felt personally attacked :(

Yep. We work with CMT and we’ve both done extensive testing on this. I think that often people don’t necessarily know what a hard braking event actually means, or how it’s quantified. Giving that realtime feedback helps close that gap in understanding


I’ve played guitar for 20 years, but I’ve decided to do something different and just got some drums. I need to spend some time away from work lest I suffer from burnout again…


That will be fun. I am actually going to come back to electric guitar in 2026 after 15 years away.

I tried learning piano but that was a total waste. Drums I think make a lot of sense as a compliment to guitar.

Piano just made me feel like I wasted my life practicing guitar.


If anything I’ve learnt more because I’m having to go and find bugs in areas that I’m not super clued up on… yet ;)


Yes, we are. South African company.


Haha no - then it wouldn't have got a gold medal ;)


I was included in Strava’s beta testing for their AI offering (Athlete Intelligence). It was useful in no way at all, and the prod version out now is no better. Disabled that.

My bank also started offering a chatbot through WhatsApp to let you query transactions etc, but it hallucinated stuff so I’ve stopped that too.


I love the Strava one because it just riffs on whatever you put on the activity title. "Solid murder spree, well above your weekly average pace".


Haha that’s exactly why I clicked on the story :)


Yep. I skipped a tech conference in Feb where we announced a major partnership with a Canadian company (I’m from South Africa). I do not want to travel to the US in the current climate.


Mine won’t activate because I have Siri and my iPhone set to different versions of English… according to Apple. Both are set to English (South Africa), but it still thinks they are different and so won’t activate. I am not complaining!


This seems to be the best way to prevent it from even installing on MacOS, e.g. works with SIP as well.
