  • Apple Watch ECG app helps save pregnant woman's life

    Why does the article on here say that the ECG feature saved her? It doesn’t say that in the CBS News article. It wasn’t ECG that alerted her to her high heart rate, it was just the heart rate monitor.

  • UCOMX Nano 3-in-1 Wireless Charger review: Budget-friendly alternative to the MagSafe Duo

    On the Amazon page one of the images says the MagSafe phone charging is only 7.5W, pretty slow. Fine for overnight but if want to fast charge a Watch or Phone (I wear my Watch overnight and fast charge every couple days during the day, you’re out of luck)
    If true I’m sure this isn’t actually MagSafe at all and yet another Qi charger with a magnet around it. I wish AppleInsider would do some more research before posting these product placements articles.

  • Samsung firing up new smartphone chip division to fight Apple dominance

    The real takeaway: Apple better prepare to add more incentives and pay raises to the apple silicon team. Samsungs poachers are coming. 
    Maybe. Where is this chip division going to be located? Unless it’s in the Bay Area I don’t see a lot of engineers jumping ship to move themselves and/or their family to South Korea unless the pay is astronomical.

    We finally got our Model Y in August after waiting 11 months from order date.  It’s the first new car we’ve ever owned. It’s amazing, but would like to have CarPlay on it.  If Rivian is a better car then buy it, but to me it’s idiotic to make (or cancel) a car purchase because of any person at the company.  
    To be fair, Musk isn’t just “any person at the company”, he is the face of the company. From what I can tell he seems to be a fairly loud-voiced and opinionated face of the company.  He also seems to rub a lot of people the wrong way.

    To me it’s similar to that person that cuts me off in traffic while driving a vehicle that has their company name on it.  I’ll remember that Chris’ Custom Closets guy cut me off and when it’s time to redo my closet I won’t be calling them.

    It wouldn’t surprise me in the least to hear that Musk said something in an interview or on Twitter that really annoyed a potential customer and then that potential customer decided to go with another brand. 
    My point was that regardless of the person, even the CEO, if the product is worth buying then buy it. Otherwise you’re just putting the stick in your own eye. I didn’t avoid Disney because Chapek is an idiot. 

     I drove 430 miles yesterday afternoon to night in the Model Y. It took about 8.5 hours with all charging and bathroom stops, averaging about 74mph while on the road. What other electric vehicle can you do that with today (or likely even in 2 years)? The Lucid Air certainly can’t do that on one charge at interstate highway speeds.
    There seems to be some disconnect here. The CEO of the company is making their own product not worth buying in the eyes of many people. This is the part your seem to be missing. It’s wonderful for you that your personal moral or ethical compass allows you to completely ignore the shitbag running the company you bought your car from though.
