Another health element users will miss out on is blood oxygen sensing.

Well that’s disappointing. I’ve been waiting for this feature to return so I can finally upgrade my tired (and now deprecated) S5…

Agreed. I see little reason to “upgrade” & lose a feature I use daily.

Hopefully, a fully realized version of Oni will also follow. I was so peeved, after waiting years for Oni, just to have it swept under the rug when Microsoft brought all the limelight to Halo

Name, Address, Birth date, Social Security number, Phone numbers…
More or less in the public domain in many countries. Why is this Social Security Number so sensitive to reveal? Isn’t that just a unique number for an individual?

The reason is that multiple institutions use this number as a unique identifier, even though it’s technically not supposed to be used for anything other than SS benefits. Blame the IRS or the Federal Reserve, if you prefer. Congress has allowed the SS number to become the de facto unique identifier but done nothing to secure it in any way.

So they write a law, with objective criteria (which may well may be utter BS, but they at least are objectively defined) and then they violate that objective criteria, so it is clear that the law doesn’t matter to the political class. It’s just an excuse to skim from the productive class.

I’ve been far more interested in seeing CarPlay expanded. No regrets.
