TL;DR: Humane, a tech startup led by former Apple designer Imran Chaudhri, has launched the $700 Ai Pin, a standalone AI device with a "Laser Ink Display" that projects information onto the user's hand. The device, resembling an Apple Watch, features a detachable battery for a "perpetual power system," a 3D depth sensor, Qualcomm Snapdragon chip, Ai Mic for voice interactions, and a 13-megapixel camera. Despite technological achievements, user reactions on MacRumors are mixed, expressing concerns about practicality and functionality. Orders start in the U.S. on November 16, with a $24 monthly subscription for Humane's network. (via ChatGPT)

Not all changes are always for the better. Is there anything that you liked and is now gone?

I’ve been jumping between password managers for a bit and I feel like sooner or later I’ll end up with iCloud Keychain, but currently I’m still sticking with something else because it only supports logins (website, username, password has to always be there).

For people already using it, where do you put your non-password stuff? PIN codes, software licenses, memberships, etc.

Yeah I know, this might be taking things too far. But I got tired of typing the same variations over and over, so I decided to generate it from a few custom snippets.

You can use this optional shortcut together with Pushcut to get a notification when it’s someone’s birthday. You can set it up to generate the message when tapping on the Pushcut notification.

It currently works with WhatsApp or messages. It generates a message with three parts:

• "Happy birthday" (randomly selects a variation of it, you can customize these)
• "Tanja" (chooses the first name or nickname if you have one set for the contact)
• "🎂🤗" (also customizable ending, chooses randomly)

So the message here would be: "Happy birthday Tanja 🎂🤗". It will then open the chat app you picked and pre-fill the message. It’s not sending the message automatically.
