  • So many people in this thread saying “who cares it’s just a button” without having any idea what it actually does.

    Want the mute switch behavior? Well that’s the default thing the button does and you can use it without looking at it.

    Want to program the button to do like literally anything? You can do that. For example:

    • Launch the camera app, or any other app
    • Control your smart home accessories
    • Toggle Do Not Disturb, or another focus mode
    • Run a command on a remote server via ssh
    • Start recording audio in case you’re around cops doing cop stuff
    • Or anything else you can program in with a Shortcut


  • I don’t agree that this is the real deal. The effects were barely visible, and only in a subset of the patient group. Lilly will certainly make a ton of money pushing this on desperate family members of regressing loved ones, though. And there’s no way every single older person is going to get tested for amyloid buildup and take this for years before symptoms start.

    And that’s not even considering the issue of whether amyloid buildup is a cause or effect of the disease. Given how poorly anti-amyloid therapies have been actually working in the clinic, I think it’s an effect. But a lot of powerful people have bet their careers on the amyloid hypothesis and it’s hard to turn that big of a ship around.
