  • 'F1' could be the last Apple TV+ theatrical release

    I don’t know how Apple or the actors view theatrical releases but there’s no chance at all I would have gone to the theater to watch any of the movies.  I did enjoy them at home though.

    What is the meaning of the word wolfs?
    The two main characters are “fixers” who are supposed to work strictly solo, or a lone wolf.  They’re forced to work together but push back on it pretty much throughout.  So instead of being a “pack of wolves” they are 2 lone wolfs.  At least this is how I thought about that.  

    I liked the movie.

    If the Apple Watch had a working oxygen level function at-home studies and monitoring could take place every night. But it sounds like Apple could be using the ECG sensor to detect the predictable impact the stopped-breathing events have on the heart. This is good enough to tell you to talk to your doctor about sleep apnea, but having oxygen saturation data is easier imho to understand the damage that’s being done. Having both sensors available would be even better. 
    Thank you, I knew we would have some folks here are more knowledgeable about this than I am.  I just want to add that I hadn’t complained about sleep apnea and the doctor wasn’t looking specifically for that when he ordered the ECG.  I suspect that was just based on family history or having reached a certain age.  He just saw signs of sleep apnea in the results and then ordered a sleep study. I am sure it’s better to have the oxygen sensors, but it seems possible to detect sleep apnea without them.

  • Doctor decries Apple gift card discount 'scam' after failing to understand the terms of th...

    It is not a scam and it isn't misleading.  The customers are getting exactly what Apple offered.  The only potential for confusion is in looking at the receipt.  Now everyone understands perfectly what you want as anyone would generally prefer that too, but that isn't what Apple offered.

    I want a $100 discount on the item I am buying, now, today, nothing else. I don't want or need a $100 gift card on a FUTURE purchase.

    Essentially, it works out to me paying full price for the item and getting a free $100 that I can ONLY spend at Apple. It's similar to Kohl's dollars...an attempt to lure you back to the retailer to spend more money or "lose" your "free" Kohl's cash.

    Well guess what. I just bought what I wanted. I don't need the gift card.

    In the end, I added it to my Apple account and it paid my next couple of Apple One subscription fees.
