Hey, you made it to the end of 2024.  I can't say the same for a lot of gadgets in our lives because tech changes fast, products come and go.

嘿，你熬到了 2024 年底。  我們生活中的很多小玩意兒都不能這麼說，因為科技日新月異，產品來來去去。

And this is my annual video where I go over the tech products that failed, flopped, and lost funding this year.

這是我的年度影片，我將在影片中回顧今年失敗、失敗和失去資金的科技產品。

其中包括 Windows 版本的 Apple Music、電視應用和設備應用。

If losing iTunes makes you sad, well, Apple certainly does not care about your need to rip your old music CDs because Apple also discontinued its USB SuperDrive.
