This is the best knot. Looks amazing aesthetically and simply does not come undone. Unless you want it to, in which case a quick pull on one end unties it instantly.

Europe is now trying to kill their golden goose, the false scarcity luxury market? Weird way to compete in the world.

An alternative is to just turn off the ability to purchase anything without entering your password each time in settings.

The US banks just won’t do it across the board unless it is mandated like ACH. Many in the banking system feel comfortable with this FedNow rollout taking many years. It’s ridiculous.

Ultra has better battery life, most people don’t wear a watch while sleeping, so it’s easy to charge at night like you do with a phone anyway. It also enables you to do almost everything essential in terms of communication without a phone if you want to leave it. Garmin watches do not.

Yes, because of a horrendous implementation by Microsoft. 3 minutes instead of 30 second TOTP validity and unlimited guesses.

The case was filed by the Trump administration in 2018, not Biden.

Intel should have produced ARM chips for Apple as a foundry. If they’re to be wildly successful again, they will be doing this anyway. They gave up 18+ years out of x86 pride and bad leadership. I hope Gelsinger can beat TSMC at the process technology game and win Apple’s business.

You should email Tim Cook. Executive relations can often fix problems. Edit: amazing that someone downvoted advice. This site has some problems.

As long as you can change your Mx records, it doesn’t matter who is hosting your email. If Apple had a problem, you could switch it to any other provider and request the reset email again, etc.

No degradation at all for me over seven years. It’s a game changer. Car still feels new

Yeah that’s too bad since it’s free everywhere else in the world on the App Store.

My router doesn’t, so with Tailscale I can get the same functionality using an Apple TV. It’s pretty nice.
