Here’s a summary of the transcript:
In this episode of Hash Trending, we cover some of the latest tech trends and news. Apple is reportedly scaling back production of its Vision Pro headset due to slow sales and user feedback. The company has reduced production rates from 2,000 to 1,000 units daily, and industry analysts estimate it sold approximately 370,000 units in the first three quarters of 2024.
Google is introducing a new feature for Gmail users called “shielded email”, which allows users to generate disposable email addresses to protect their primary email address from spam and data breaches. The feature is similar to Apple’s “hide my email” function and is designed to enhance user privacy.
In other news, Microsoft has acknowledged a reporting bug in its Windows 11 patch Tuesday update, which incorrectly warned users that their operating system had reached the end of support. The company has since updated its messaging on its support pages and is advising users to ignore the erroneous alerts.
Finally, Google is rolling out a new feature for Google Messages, which will display the sender’s profile name and picture before a message is sent, aimed at reducing confusion in group conversations.
