Great move Bose

Shame on you, Google. You disabled my Nest thermostat and Nest Secure alarm — I will never buy your products again.

Apple can go to hell, their 30% fee is prohibitive.

If Jobs was still here, he would have fired all the fat management.

shame on you Apple, you are acting like M$!

I wrote an article comparing different GUID implementations and also prepared a clear spreadsheet with side‑by‑side implementation comparisons.

Looking at your implementation, I like the clean split between shard, tenant, and sequence.

However, this results in a 160‑bit format, which does not fit natively in most databases, as they usually use the UUID type. I also find 60 bits of randomness to be low (ULID also uses 60).

Last point, using a GUID is not only for sharding. It is also important for protecting against predictability, which beyond the GUID structure, requires using the right approved crypto‑safe random generator.

No, it will not. I live in the UAE, and I appreciate that my children do not have access to pornography or illegal websites, as these are blocked by the service providers.

This should be adopted by many other countries
