RunCat 365 is a fun and cute app that shows a running cat animation on your Windows taskbar. The cat’s running speed changes based on your computer’s CPU usage, so you can easily see how hard your computer is working just by watching the cat. It’s made for Windows only and is built with C# and .NET 9.0. This app adds a playful and useful visual indicator to your taskbar, making it easier and more enjoyable to monitor your PC’s performance at a glance. It’s free and open-source, with many users enjoying its charm and functionality[4].

🔈Most Common Smart Speaker Usage
People are doing plenty of things with voice commands on their #SmartSpeakers, but shopping isn’t really one of them. Only about a quarter to a third of U.S. smart speaker owners have ever purchased something using voice. Very few do so on a regular basis. An Information article this summer said just 2 percent of #Alexa owners had made a purchase via Alexa in 2018.

🗣The State of Chinese Voice Assistants
China is the second-largest consumer market in the world, hitting $4.3T in consumer expenditure in 2016 alone (for reference, the US ranked first with $12.5T, and Japan third with $2.7T).
The Chinese smart home market will reach nearly $23B in 2018, according to Juniper Research. #SmartSpeakers and #AI voice assistants are becoming an integral part of that.
Now that smart speakers are becoming commonplace, the early entrant, #Amazon, is losing its market share — and not just to its rival #Google, but to newer players emerging in China.
