• There’s an old saying, “any piece of software mature enough will read email”. This is no longer true; today, any software mature enough will have a copy of Snapchat’s stories.

    I don’t know why you would use stories on Signal/WhatsApp/Telegram/Fluffychat, but apparently it’s something people want.

    If your smart washing machine doesn’t have a Stories button, it’s simply not finished yet. Take it as an indicator that you’ve bought alpha quality software.

    Other appliances like smart fridges and cars are nearly there, just wait a few more years.
