🔙 Throwback Thursday for 2024-11-14
Back in 2008, the Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) certification was meant to help untangle the growing number of cables required to connect various consumer digital devices. Then, a few years later, Apple had released AirDrop.
By 2014, “Kiss Connectivity” was envisioned as an end to the need for the various cables needed to connect devices for basic file transfers. Next, less than 4 years ago, Google Android responded with Nearby Share.
Today, the cable hassle can be the cloud hassle of having to upload a file over a network to a public cloud target just so another device can download from that public cloud target. However, there are a few more options that focus on cloud hassle free simplicity such as ShareIt which relies on ad hoc Wi-Fi hotspot creation and LiveDrop which leverages innovations in computer vision.

🔮 Sneak Peak Saturday for 2024-11-16
By Friday, everything seems to be reaching the peak of getting news turned in before a deadline or dread-line. It sometimes seems like we reach a fever pitch in news coverage throughout the week.
Peak 🏔️ vs. Peek 👀
Then there is a trope, cliché, or bromide about slow news days and the quietly mentioned news updates sent on a Friday — to try and sneak it past wider coverage. Or, in a nutshell, peak patronizing publishing.
In that spirit, here are a few stories that you might have missed on the slow news of a Friday.
