Most of them I&#8217;ve mentioned before in this newsletter, but here are a few that I haven&#8217;t:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/blackmagic-camera\/id6449580241\">Blackmagic Camera<\/a>: A free video capture app for the iPhone with extensive manual controls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dosdeck.com\/\">DOS_deck<\/a>: Classic shareware games playable in your browser, including controller support.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodnotes.com\/\">Goodnotes<\/a>: An app for handwritten notes that got some huge feature updates this year.

The company will also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/1\/8\/24030346\/apple-vision-pro-store-demo\">demo the headset at Apple Stores<\/a> through the weekend of February 2 on a first-come, first-served basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have not tried the Vision Pro, and therefore haven&#8217;t had the chance to be wowed by it like some fellow members of the tech press. But I&#8217;ve been blown away by virtual reality demos before, only to find that the headgear quickly becomes tiresome in everyday use. While the Vision Pro may infuse some much-needed excitement into the VR and AR category, it&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/2023\/06\/13\/6-13-2023-apples-ar-vr-headset-isnt-for-you\/\">essentially a developer kit<\/a> for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Matter mess:<\/strong> Here&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/23997548\/matter-smart-home-2023-platforms\">a great story by Jennifer Pattison Tuohy<\/a>, The Verge&#8217;s smart home guru, on how Matter has failed to live up to its promises. Matter is supposed to standardize smart home gear so it works across any platform, including Google Home, Alexa, Apple Home, and others. Tuohy, who&#8217;s been living with a slew of Matter gear for months, documents frustrating technical glitches and feature limitations, and she concludes that the standard is a long way from where it needs to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/90660570\/the-smart-home-is-flailing-as-a-concept-because-it-sucks\">frustrated with the state of smart homes<\/a> for years now, largely because things just don&#8217;t work the way you&#8217;d expect. My advice of late has been to only buy gear that solves a specific problem\u2014like controlling your thermostat or cleaning your floors\u2014and don&#8217;t get too wrapped up in the idea of having all your gadgets work in concert. It doesn&#8217;t sound like Matter will change that anytime soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Beeper changes course:<\/strong> Just to close the loop on <a href=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/2023\/12\/12\/12-12-2023-beeper-fixed-my-chat-headaches-mostly\/\">the Beeper story<\/a> from last month, the startup has given up on offering iMessage to Android users in a seamless way, but it&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.beeper.com\/p\/beeper-moving-forward\">devised a workaround<\/a> for users who don&#8217;t mind jumping through some extra hoops. The solution involves either a Mac that must be turned on periodically or an old, jailbroken iPhone that must be kept on indefinitely. Only the latter option allows users to receive iMessages via their phone number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a disappointing outcome for most, though admittedly it&#8217;s fine by me. I&#8217;ve got Beeper set up on my Mac Mini and had no issues sending or receiving iMessages on my Android phone over the holidays. Meanwhile, Beeper can get back to its original mission of building a universal chat app, and it seems to have succeeded in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/1\/5\/24027001\/apple-doj-antitrust-lawsuit-investigation\">sending more antitrust scrutiny Apple&#8217;s way<\/a> in the meantime. I&#8217;m looking forward to what Beeper does next, with or without iMessage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Tip of the moment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fblinkhistory-1024x700.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fblinkhistory-1024x700.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fblinkhistory-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fblinkhistory-768x525.jpg 768w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fblinkhistory-100x68.jpg 100w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fblinkhistory-150x103.jpg 150w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fblinkhistory-200x137.jpg 200w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fblinkhistory-450x308.jpg 450w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fblinkhistory-600x410.jpg 600w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fblinkhistory-900x615.jpg 900w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fblinkhistory.jpg 1302w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Another Facebook privacy tweak:<\/strong> While Facebook has always used the links you click on in its mobile app for ad targeting purposes, now <a href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/meet-link-history-facebook-s-new-way-to-track-the-we-1851134018\">you can finally stop it from doing so<\/a>.
