  • Apple Watch Fall Detection credited with saving unresponsive Arizona man

    dinkydogsdinkydogs


    When a user takes a hard fall, Fall Detection will prompt the user to respond and dismiss the notification or contact first responders. If the user doesn't dismiss the dialog within one minute, the Apple Watch will do so automatically.

    This is incorrect. If the user doesn't dismiss the dialog, the watch will contact 911 automatically and not dismiss the dialog automatically.

    I think it also sends a message to your emergency contacts

    Ugh, don't undestand why anyone would want to cover electronics in horrible-feeling cowskin.
    Easy - it protects the case (I’ve seen them get a lot of scuffs) and looks unique. 
    Never understood the need to cover the AirPods case.  It's white and who cares if it gets scratched?  I have a case for my laptop, but I don't get a case to cover the case!  ;)
    Even though it's a case to cover my AirPods pro, I still care if it gets scratched. I like my stuff to look new and clean and i do my best to keep all my stuff that way. Also I have the catalyst case which is water proof. Just because you don't care if it your case gets scratched up doesn't mean others don't. Oh and using your logic, why do you have a case for your laptop? The shell on the laptop is just a case to cover the internals and you only use the keyboard and screen. Who cares if the shell gets scratched right?

     I still use my APs too tho, on walks and whatnot where I want to hear my surroundings too.


    Why not just use your airpods pro with transparency mode turned on?

  • Sony details pricing, availability of AirPlay 2, HomeKit 8K, 4K smart TVs

    The smart features include support for AirPlay 2, allowing the televisions to work with speakers and devices using Apple's audio streaming platform

    Does this mean that the tv will send audio directly to homepods via AirPlay2?

  • Walk, run or wheel on Aug. 25 for the Grand Canyon award

    dinkydogsdinkydogs


    Most challenges require Watch wearers to either complete a "streak" or accumulate a certain amount of activity points or minutes. This challenge is unusual as it requires participants to walk a minimum of three miles -- almost five kilometers. The distance is roughly equal to the beginner-friendly Cedar Ridge hike on the South Kaibab Trail at the Grand Canyon.

    I wouldn't say it's unusual as there were 3 past challenges that required you to do a distance workout. Granted they were back in 2017. Maybe they're cyclical?

    Mothers day challenge 2017 - Do a workout that went for a mile or more on Mothers day.
    National Parks Challenge 2017 - Do a workout of at least 3.5 miles. The distance of the Old Faithful to Mallard Lake hike in Yellowstone
    Thanksgiving Day Challenge 2017 - Do a 5K (3.1 miles) walk, run, or wheelchair workout

    I might have had more but I lost all my rewards back then when i upgraded my iphone and didn't do a secure backup.
