what happened to the free market capitalism that he espouses?  

It's going the same way of the "free speech" he espouses. 

I connected my AirPods 4 to my MBA via cable and they were updated in less than two minutes, probably less. I've done this since it was first mentioned at AI many years ago. It's worked very quickly every time, but this is by far the quickest I've seen any of my AirPods get updated.

As always I have no idea if the updated firmware is a welcome update.

It looks like Apple pulled the 11.4 update. Maybe it wasn't supposed to be released yet because something else wasn't ready or maybe there was a bug discovered that needs to be squashed?

9TO5Mac is reporting that Watch 11.4 was pulled after being listed on Apple's website. So something's up. By the way: gotta wonder why someone disliked your completely anodyne post. 

They were an abused child. 9TO5Mac is where I got the info for the first sentence. The second was my conjecture, and yeah, I don't know why that would trigger someone. As you say something's up.

I thought Silent Mode silences everything but alarms and haptics. Even Do Not Disturb doesn't silence alarms. If set they go off and you have to silence them. So maybe this toggle does let you prevent alarms from sounding? That would seem to actually make more sense. Same toggle different purpose.


EDIT: I found this (but AI won't let me edit my previous posts)

Most people who wear their Apple Watch to bed either have Sleep Focus enabled or Silent Mode turned on. Both options silence all notifications to not wake you up during the night. This includes alarms, which vibrate instead.
