Apple has quietly delayed its plans to support robot vacuums in HomeKit. After announcing earlier this year that Apple Home would finally support robot vacuums with iOS 18, MacRumors has spotted that Apple has updated its HomeKit website to note that the robot vacuum integration won’t be available until early 2025.
The website had previously mentioned that HomeKit would be updated by the end of 2024, with some hoping that robot vacuum support might sneak into the iOS 18.2 release this month after originally missing the initial iOS 18 launch. If you’re waiting to ask Siri to get your robot vacuum to clean your room then you’ll now have to hold on for a few more weeks or months.

Microsoft’s Phone Link app. | Image: Microsoft
Samsung’s upcoming One UI 7 update will no longer support the DeX app on Windows. A footnote on Samsung’s UK site, spotted by Android Authority, reveals the DeX PC app “will end support from One UI 7 version,” with Samsung encouraging users to use the Link to Windows feature instead to take advantage of similar functionality with Microsoft’s Phone Link app on Windows.
The DeX app for Windows lets you mirror your phone screen to a PC and easily drag and drop files between the devices. It’s very similar to Microsoft’s Phone Link app, which Samsung and Microsoft have collaborated closely on in recent years, so it makes sense that Samsung is favoring Microsoft’s native Android linking app in Windows.
The change will take place in One UI 7,...

In the wake of high-profile hacks affecting hundreds of millions of Americans, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is proposing a rule limiting data brokers’ ability to sell Americans’ sensitive personal and financial information.
Under the proposed rule, data brokers that sell information about consumers’ income, credit history, credit score, or debt payments would be considered consumer reporting agencies. As such, they’d be required to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), a law limiting how these agencies can obtain and use the information provided in consumer reports. In other words, they’d be treated like credit bureaus and background check companies, which already have to comply with the FCRA.

Type 00 | Image: Jaguar
Jaguar’s new ethos is “copy nothing,” and the first concept car of its new era is trying to deliver.
The leaks earlier were accurate, with the Type 00 two-door coupe presenting a long hood that leads to a low roof and fastback rear profile that foregoes any rear window. Jaguar chief creative officer Gerry McGovern said in a presentation that “when Jaguar was at its best, it threw away the design rulebook and created E-Type and the XJS...objects of desire.” This car is supposed to be another step in that direction.
There are plenty of details, like its 23-inch wheels, oval steering wheel, three brass bars running through the cabin, butterfly doors, and a stone plinth separating the seats. We also can’t miss the Lincoln Nautilus-like...

It's nice that they're improving. But I'm not going to recommend any of this to developers until *the data* comes back green.
And that isn't about a stovepiped "isn't our thing slightly better than it was last year?!" comparison, it's a "does this work well for teams in general?" sort of view.
And there's a decade of busted sites and broken promises trailing behind React and Vercel that mean the only acceptable form of that data is from a third party.
