Putting the d'oh! in Adobe: 'Years of photos' permanently wiped from iPhones, iPads by bad Lightroom app update

Re: 'what if this was a more subtle bug nuking a handful of photos over a period of time'

icymi and if it's of any interest, Backblaze added additional retention options. You can upgrade version history / retention from 30 days to a year for an extra $24 a year. Or indefinitely at that $24 plus B2-style per GB pricing.

Wondering what to do with that $2,300 burning a hole in your pocket?

What happened to castAR's IP?

What happened to the tech assets that castAR was developing before they ran out of cash? The fundamentals were already down and the prototypes worked pretty well, 4 years ago. It used retroreflective fabric and projected onto it, making it vastly cheaper and avoiding the problems of Magic Leap. They even managed to build a VR adapter and they weren't that far off mass production. They had the right people on that side of things at least.

The tracking tech was superb, if nothing else I'd like to see that tech resurface.

Anyone know who bought the assets or if Jeri or Rick have given more info somewhere?
