I use Time Machine on one disk, and Carbon Copy Cloner on another. One thing that makes me nervous about also using iCloud for document backups (which I have turned on for my Documents etc) is that many documents end up being stored only in the Cloud, and on your Mac you only have a reference (like an “alias”) to the file, not the actual file (if you have limited internal SSD space, & haven’t opened it in a long time, or told the OS to download it, or the folder it’s in), THEN, when you use either T.M. or C.C.C. to back up to a disk, you’re only backing up those “aliases”, not the actual file itself. That’s fine as long as the Cloud doesn’t fail us some day…. But, what if it does?? (Call me paranoid 😎)
(See MacMost’s Youtube tutorials on Time Machine backups - & how iCloud affects them - for more detailed explanation.)

While trying out the new method after reading the article, I saw something I've never noticed before: When I press any of those 3 buttons, the edge of the screen bulges in a little at the button's location. A clever way to confirm a button press I guess. 

And the bigger pill to swallow is having to also purchase a new Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil with the latest iPad Pro’s. As much as I’d like to upgrade, I just don’t want to spend that much. 

I get occasional false alarms because I’ve always worn my watches on my right wrist even though I’m right handed. Usually triggered by hammering or similar pounding motions. I try to remember to move my watch to my left wrist before sustained hammering/pounding. I’m glad for the feature. Correctly detected a bike fall 1x. With another fall it didn’t detect it. I hope it is learning from my responses to each false alarm. 

Does anyone else find it surprising that the “executive protection team” members didn’t already have CCW’s individually before being hired, by virtue of being a trained security person?
