Being based on the Mac mini doesn't mean it has to look like the mini. What I want to see is more ports than the mini. I don't care if there are no Type-A ports, just USB4 and T3 ports. And the latest HDMI, not one or two steps behind. Apple uses "Pro" indiscriminately so I'm not sure what to expect from Studio-Lite. 

Today, the Honorable Emmet G. Sullivan sentenced Wu to the time he already has served in custody, which amounts to approximately 26 months.

It's not uncommon at all to give credit for time served when a defendant has waited a lengthy time for sentencing. That's not a requirement though and the amount of money stolen as a result of the fraud should have received a sentence beyond time served IMO. The amount of profit realized shouldn't be a consideration.

What should be/should have been considered is the ability and likelihood of making the required restitution, as I imagine that will not happen. So half of the conditional sentencing would not be met. The time served portion of the sentence was probably a result of a plea deal, something else that bothers me. Plea bargains can be very useful, but used just to get a conviction and resolve the case as quickly as possible doesn't serve justice, at least to me.

I’m pretty sure that this works with any Apple Watch paired to an iPhone,

No, it doesn't.

This article doesn't make it clear that a cellular Watch  or a qualifying Watch paired to a nearby qualifying iPhone is required.

But this one does:

To use Emergency SOS on an Apple Watch that doesn't have cellular, your iPhone needs to be nearby. If your iPhone isn't nearby, your Apple Watch needs to be connected to a known Wi-Fi network and you must set up Wi-Fi Calling.

If this ad doesn’t move you, check your pulse — you’re at the very least dead inside.

Amazingly, not even mentioned in the ad is the Watch’s ability to call emergency services and your designated emergency contact if you are unable to respond in the event of a fall or crash. For all it can do and the difference it can make in your quality of life, the Apple Watch is invaluable.

It is an ad but is as much a mini-documentary. Yeah there have been accidental false alarms and they can be annoying, but I'd rather respond to ten false ones then not respond to one good one. For those who don't feel it, it only takes one save to change their mind.

AI did have an article about an older bicyclist who left the roadway and disappeared down an embankment losing consciousness. Because his Watch detected the fall, an ambo was called, he was found, his son was alerted, and dad woke up in a hospital with his son present. All occurring while dad was unconscious.

There are many cases where a simple accident turned deadly only because the victim wasn't found in time. In the above instance I believe the victim's Watch was a gift from his son.

I've tried the Locate Wallet thing with a Trackr device is it was dismal. This card might be worth looking into.

One problem for me is the distance required before getting a notification. I  set up a Left Behind alert for my phone so if I left the house without it, I'd get an alert on my watch, and vice versa. But it takes an enabling run for the alert to trigger. I get several blocks away before getting a notifications.

Since Left Behind uses Bluetooth which under the best of conditions has a max range of about 100' line of sight (usually much less) I was hoping to get an alert as soon as I got in my car. No dice. This is a great feature but I wish the range was more adjustable.

The AirTag beep is barely audible in many circumstances so I wonder how well that works buried in a wallet.
