Nice... but is it still useless if a drop of water gets on the display? Using my Apple Watch in the pool, or running and sweat gets on it, renders it unusable.

Are you using Series 1? Or was this your attempt at sarcasm? 

Series 4.

Ending a pool swim is all but impossible. I can get the water to eject, but can't tap "End workout" because... watch is wet? I have to wait to get out of pool and dry it off. By that time maybe 30 seconds to a minute at least has passed, so my swim workouts are never accurate.

And this thing is geared toward extreme workouts, so hopefully it can handle some water, or snow, on the watch face without it being unusable.

“At the time, Apple justified the removal of the headphone jack by saying that Lightning was an overall better standard for audio. It added that removing the single-use port also freed up internal space for larger or additional components“

no, At the time Apple said they were getting rid of the headphone jack because it was obsolete (it’s not. If it was obsolete then, why do they still include it on new computers today?) Yhey also argued that they needed to remove it for water resistance. Except there were plenty of phones that were water resistant but still had the jack, so that was a lie. 

Tim Cook tried to boast courage, but he Didn’t have enough courage to tell the truth. 

I still miss the simplicity of wired headphones. You plug them in and they work. You know what device they’re connected to. No randomly switching devices. No dead batteries. No pairing. They just work. 

For all the people saying the headphone jack is old and is therefore obsolete, does your car have a steering wheel? Do you still use a keyboard?

Protocols supported

These devices work with VPN servers that support the following protocols and authentication methods:

• IKEv2/IPsec with authentication by shared secret, RSA Certificates, Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) Certificates, EAP-MSCHAPv2, or EAP-TLS

• SSL-VPN using the appropriate client app from the App Store

• L2TP/IPsec with user authentication by MS-CHAPV2 password and machine authentication by shared secret (iOS, iPadOS, and macOS) and RSA SecurID or CRYPTOCard (macOS only)

• Cisco IPsec with user authentication by password, RSA SecurID or CRYPTOCard, and machine authentication by shared secret and certificates (macOS only)

This article mentions VPN generally. The above quote from Apple indicates the VPN protocols supported. I take this to imply there may be certain VPN apps for iOS, iPadOS and MacOS which may not fully protect communications. 

The article is about VPN and its various protocols in general. The protocols are irrelevant in this discussion.
What is happening is that on an operating system level the VPN tunnel gets ignored for some data streams and is going through the regular ‘channels’. 

That isn’t supposed to work like that. VPN turned on, regardless of the protocol, means no data should move outside the tunnel, which is very problematic.

More money flushed down the toilet. There is never any follow to determine the return on money spent. Like other commenters I am sure there is a pile of unrelated garbage spending in it.
