New study reveals where the Apple Watch gets fitness data right -- and wrong
I've wondered about its accuracy for sleep statistics as well. I've no specific reason to doubt them, just curious, since it's obviously not going to be as robust as even the home sleep study devices that have a finger O2 meter and a chest sensor.

'Fortnite' CEO thought he'd beat Apple in weeks, not years
He... didn't expect a court battle targeting the core of Apple's app store revenue to drag out? He thought it'd be over in a few weeks? Holy crap, fire that guy immediately.

How to use MacDisk software to read vintage Mac floppies on your Windows PC
If the emulator works with a dd image file of the disk, that would be pretty trivial to create on a Mac with a USB 3.5" floppy drive.shamino said:A USB 3.5" floppy drive will work with a modern Mac. For reading PC floppies.Unfortunately, all Mac floppies were formatted in the HFS file system, which Apple no longer supports in macOS, so you'll have to use third-party software to copy files from those discs to some other (HFS+ or APFS) storage device before you can open them in current versions of macOS.Ironically, it is often easier to access these files (especially old HFS-formatted CD-ROMs) from a Linux PC than from a modern Mac.Ordinarily, I would say that a good workaround might be emulation, but the last time I checked, Mac emulators/VMs could not be configured to read from physical CD/floppy media, only from disk images.If the situation has improved recently, either via better emulators or a third-party file system driver with HFS support, please share some links here. -
Apple's Messages app won't send audio messages with an ampersand
This sounds like a band-aid solution to block malware when they're not sure if text strings are securely handled throughout the iMessage system. Because if strings were secure, Blastdoor wouldn't need to block ampersands, no matter how they're encoded.I'd wager that other characters commonly used in injection attacks, such as # or % or ; or even quotes, may also trigger this.

SanDisk Extreme Pro with USB 4 review: Good for Mac, avoid for Windows
"It's safe to say that content creators and others who work in video are very familiar with SanDisk's range of external drives."Yes, but not in a good way...
