Wait. Is this normal cross platform FaceTime? Or is this like a different FaceTime because FaceTime is awesome.
I believe it's web based for cross platform. So equivalent to Google Meet and with similar UX limitations.

#22is CSAM scanning included?
Yes. If you use iCloud Photo Library then CSAM is scanned server-side.
Same it has always been and no different to every other service.

#23Funny that they used a very clunky looking Windows laptop and a pretty dated looking Android phone to show off Facetime.
I get that you want to show your own products in their best light, but this is just petty and beneath them.
This comes from the company that still shows non-Mac PCs in the network as CRT monitors, showing a blue screen of death.

Nope - not client-side, but server-side, it's been there for, like, half a decade.

Only if you have no sense of humor :).
Reminds me of how hugely offended some people were that the icon for a Windows PC in Mac OS X’s network browser was a blue screened monitor.

If they used an XPS people might accidentally realize that you don't need a notch to put a camera at the top of your screen.
But then they'd have to show the corresponding person in the video call as being nothing but a floating nose.

#27Focus …. by adding gazillions of notification options, and also get more notifications for "weekly screen time"… yeah, I really needed even more useless information to process instead of living my life. If i want time off i’ll just put the device down, what a concept :/ They’ve got it completely backwards.
I don't think it's as complicated as you make it out to be. It's just adding to the "Do not disturb" option that's been there for ages. You can still use that indiscriminate DND option and ignore the rest.
But some of us do want certain messages to breach while we're working.

There's a web client. Non-apple devices can join calls but can't initiate them.

This is the same company that displays Windows machines it finds on the network with a Blue Screen of Death. You have to really zoom in on that icon to see it, but it's there. As a Certified Apple Fanboi(tm), such pettiness bothers me. I'd go as far as to call it unprofessional. But macOS rules and Windoze droolz, amirite?
Re: macOS Monterey
#30How stable is Monterey for those that have been using it? Ironically I just upgraded to Big Sur yesterday from Catalina. I think I'll probably wait again to let 3rd-party apps catch up.
I've kind of indirect experience: my girlfriend is an iOS developer, and has been using it on her only Mac for a while. In the beginning it was awful for her. A lot of failures. However, after a couple of months it became quite stable, and she stopped complaining. The only thing that was kind of a nightmare was Xcode. I'm updating it, and if I were you, I'd update right away too. There are many improvements.
What improvements in your girlfriend's daily workflow would she say are most notable, did she mention?
