Is this the show? Is this what people tune in for?

Well, it does matter because they're here anyway. So this is what they're getting, regardless

of what they tuned in for.

Oh goodness. All right. Let's do some follow up.

Why don't we talk about how my life took a turn for the better a day or two ago. And

no, we did not have Sprout yet. Sprout is still not born. But I saw a tweet from our mutual

friend Michael Gerowitz. And he said something that I did not realize what he said was that

for you to use, I keep calling it SMS relay. I'm not sure if that's a blessed term or not.

But for you to use SMS relay on iOS 8 and your semity, it actually does not require

Bluetooth low energy, like a lot of other new continuity things do. It instead just requires

both devices to be on an active network. And I haven't done any testing to determine exactly

what that is. But I've heard rumblings that basically as long as your phone is logged into your

iCloud account and connected to the internet some way somehow. And the computer that you're using

is connected to that same iCloud account and on the internet some way somehow. Then apparently

you can send text messages by way of your phone, which is amazing because I didn't think that

that was a possibility without Bluetooth low energy. Yeah, this tweet was a nice summary to try

to fit into a single tweet all the different requirements for the different continuity related features.

But we'll put a link to the tweet in the show notes. But the summary is handoff tethering an

airdrop needs Bluetooth low energy SMS. They just both need network connections and the phone

calling stuff. They need network connections that I need to be on the same network. Now this is

compressed into a tweet. So if there are technical nuances that didn't fit in the tweet, don't blame

jury blame us for just relaying it. But it's it's a reasonable summary of this. This type of
