I am not a Tao hater but also not a fanboy but this is spot on! He is right, I don't love AI in many states and feel it is used for pointless task, however the beauty of that helping hand supporting you do tasks that you have no idea how to do is the magic in it. As a child we all asked questions regularly of what if we did this instead of this, why do we do things this way, why not try something else. Work and adult life gets us stuck in a rut, so anything that gets us out of a rut is welcome.

Exactly, breadth not depth of knowledge, from a tutor with no ego

To do the first one perhaps, although how many have really explored locally in full. To have fun is all dependent on your view on life and have human to human experiences can be had any time you step outside the door. Just talk to people and be friendly.

Blows them away? I haven't seen anything that is not just one or two features that other watches don't have. But all the.features require the watch to be on.

Data accuracy most certainly is not in relation to GPS which often cuts distances on the Apple Watch.


To be pedantic it's not just GPS anymore. Newer smartwatches from Apple and competitors generally support multiple GNSS constellations including GPS (USA), Galileo (EU), GLONASS (Russia), Beidou (China), and QZSS (Japan). Some devices also support multi-band GPS which further increases accuracy in areas with degraded satellite signals, although at the cost of higher power usage.

Tracking performance on the previous Apple Watch Ultra 3 was "solid" in an independent test. A little worse than competitors in some activities, a little better in others.

People like to complain about the GPS but I use it when running and it'll easily show me what side of the path I was on at any given point. And the path distance matches precisely with other sources of truth. Maybe there was a time when Garmin had an advantage on some of their watches but I am far from convinced that this has been true anytime in the past few years.

Two days is so poor for a ultra watch. The fact it won't last a full weekend let alone any significant hike just means it doesn't fit the market it is aiming at.

A weekend? How about a full week at the absolute bare minimum, if not more.

3 days is a complete joke. Competitors have battery lives measured in weeks rather than days (a famous, and still 100% appropriate, quote by Garmin. Now 5 years old and counting, and the situation is still as ridiculously bad).

Seriously what is it even doing to justify going through the battery so fast? Are they just bad at programming?


I completely agree with you, I was just trying to avoid being attacked by a certain group. I assume it's the processor as it isn't designed specifically for battery life etc.

That is a huge market that they are ignoring.

I never trust the later with Apple. Too often have they failed to deliver. Why release this without the obvious benefit?

As a reading device that is great, but as a phone that is wide.

You won't get compensation for ATC issues, but you will be reimbursed.

Yeah but I don't think it's that legislation you'd rely on: you paid for a service they didn't deliver.

Compensation yeah, only applies if the reason for the delay/cancellation was under the airline's control. Nats down is pretty clearly a reason to reject compensation claims.


Delays yes... But once an airline cancels the flight, they become liable.

Do you expect them to employ enough staff to answer passenger calls for this rare occasion? That is not good business.

The trailer for the documentary is such a draw, due to the subject, and also how close they were able to get. She is a mythical character in many ways yet a tech Lance Armstrong.

She's not mythical. She's a female psychopath and that characteristic is fascinating for many people.

Her incredibly low-rate of eye blinks is extremely off-putting/disturbing for me.

Anyone else get the same vibe?


Only the female part is fascinating to them. Otherwise we'd see more high level dude psychopath scammers in prison.

Her lackey got more prison time than she did, even though he was following her orders.

even though he was following her orders.

I guess you missed World War II, and the trials that followed. "Following orders" isn't an excuse for anything.


It's not an excuse, but we hanged the guys giving the orders, too.

But it's not the justice system; it's TV. And we have lots of psycho male scammers on TV.

SBF. Lance Armstrong. Both in a similar vein and both as fascinating.

> and also how close they were able to get

... How close they were able to get to what? What they were promising was _literally impossible_.
