@HimanshuM685 @vinRaR @sankitdev When these phones first started coming out I was in awe of what would be possible with a bunch of little compute unites with sensors and cameras and wireless communication systems. It’s really magical. Our tech today would look like witchcraft 50 years ago. lol

Google isn’t just counting phones, it’s tracking movement patterns using the accelerometer inside you phone.
People inside an apartment are mostly stationary or moving randomly within a small area. Their signals don’t follow the shape of the road, don’t move at consistent speeds, and don’t progress along a route.
Cars on a road behave very differently. Multiple devices move in the same direction, at similar speeds, aligned to a mapped road segment. That pattern is what the system looks for.
If 1000 people are sitting in a building next to a highway, their data just looks like a static cluster. It doesn’t match road geometry or traffic flow, so it gets ignored.
On top of that, Google uses map-matching (snapping GPS points to actual roads), filters noise, and cross-checks with historical traffic patterns. So unless those 1000 people suddenly start moving together along the road, they won’t look like traffic.
In short, it’s not about how many devices are nearby
it’s about how they move.

@sankitdev Crowd data. Apple Maps does the same thing. Nearly all Map Apps will.

i will be daily driving the MacBook Neo for the next two weeks, professionally. I work in IT, and need to decide whether the Neo will be a viable device long-term. I will try to document all of my thoughts about it, bar usual MacOS bullshit

Managed to get this shot thanks to the iPhone’s camera control. #shotoniphone @SouthwestAir
Bonus points if you can figured out where and when I took this shot.

@iDeviceHelpus I keep my old watch to wear while my new one is charging lol but I want a ring too. They’re cool.

Quick question, how many of you actually remember to put your Apple Watch on the charger before bed ? Because I've missed nights of sleep data more times than I want to admit. That problem apparently may have a solution now and it just launched in the US ultrahuman.com/us/ring-pro/bu…
