Apple Ring: Two decades of rumors and speculation about a smart ring
Had two generations of Oura (pre subscription). Data collection was good but masking it with “scores” was lame. Then it’s decreasing battery life led them to a trash can. Got a RingConn and battery life of 7+ days is excellent with no subscription. Still too much “scoring” instead of just reporting standard metrics but does report a lot more. Unobtrusive and, at 55, appreciate having more data points to add to my Apple Watch, Qardio, and other tools.Health ain’t just visiting a doctor once or twice per year. If you get into your sixties in bad health, the latter years are going to be absolutely awful. -
The metaverse is 'off limits' on Apple's VR headset, claims report
starof80 said:If the rumors about this is true, Apple would be smart to reconsider about getting in the Metaverse. They will be left behind.
I actually hope Apple keeps any AR/VR headset as a 100% closed system without any third party access. That way we won't have to hear about any of this crap that every computing product sold needs to be 100% open to other vendors selling their wares on it. -
LastPass denies claims that master passwords may have been compromised
MustSeeUHDTV said:Hehe....people put their passwords lists in the cloud.....
You win Ridiculous Comment of the Day.
This is most surely someone using leaked account credentials that were reused on LastPass accounts. That’s the mistake some people probably made. Password managers don’t store the master password anywhere. Not the cloud. Not locally. It’s the “thing you know”. -
Epic appealing Apple's 'resounding victory' in App Store trial
The judge ruled that app developers can link to external payment processes, but explicitly also ruled Apple is still entitled to its contractually agreed commissions (e.g. 30%) regardless of using an external payment process. So that “free” app with an external subscription won’t save the developer any money. It only creates a friction point for a consumer to subscribe. -
