The person they responded to was beyond dismissive but invalidating of their comment. The responder's message "I don't give a shit" was in poor taste and discourages community interaction
Echoing others, I don't think this will have a huge impact as iPhone SOS is a last resort for those who are unprepared
Garmin inReach is a robust and rugged satellite communicator that out classes iPhone emergency SOS greatly
- inreach doesn't require "tracking" the satellite as it has a stronger antenna
- inreach is more waterproof, dust proof atd shock resistant (no touch screen)
- inreach has higher battery life, SOS can be activated while the device is off
- ability to send messages, which can be critical if there are no cell towers that can be boosned/activated
That said, it is a great innovation; I think the Apple Watch Ultra will cut more into the diving watch market than the iPhone into the satellite communicator market
I definitely agree with you. Even my Garmin Phoenix 5x plus will last multiple days with GPS usage for Backcountry camping. Another factor I worry about is the durability of the screen. Although you should always travel with backup Maps nobody wants to lose their primary navigation tool because a touch screen is nicer than Sapphire glass displays.
That said the Apple watch is a nicer experience than the Phoenix which I don't tend to take out of the house too often outside of activities now. Indeed the Apple watch is claiming to be usable for recreational scuba for which the Phoenix is not and you would need to use an alternative Garmin watch
Perhaps the next iteration of the ultra watch will have features to extend battery life beyond the 60 hours in low battery mode it claims and hopefully towards 100 hours (14 hours * 7 days) of usage on low battery
This would definitely be a game changer. I have a Garmin Fenix and the only thing it locks is the ability to use it for diving to 40m. Although Garmin has a similar watch for diving it locks the features I would use for Backcountry camping. If I can switch to an Apple Watch Over a sunnto or similar it would be a big boon
Meetup was a great platform but has totally lost it in the user experience. Out of all popular consumer apps, I would argue Meetup has the highest friction for both organizers and participants
My problems meeting cyclists in Toronto led me to make a Toronto cycling discord of almost 1000 users
I actually took the solution and have just launched an app for many more hobbies and anyplace! https://radar.ac
We'lr be adding events/plans by end end of Q4. Zero friction to create or join an event!
by default they have it so S3 requests with wrong headers are still sent
I didn't know this and one day I changed the send header but not receive header
Turned out the cache-control was wrong when uploading an image to a presigned url, but this was never caught until it hit staging env since local tests and CI/CD tests showed a pass
For what its worth, this seems to be a global occurrence -- there's been quite a lot of talk about Air Canada & Toronto's Pearson airport. Presumptively, people will continue to blame the federal government like they do for gasoline while failing to see it as part of a global trend.
FWIW the 1 week every 4 months is on top of your vacation, not "encouraged vacation", but rather a company wide recharge week
I agree those who started in the 6 months after IPO got the short end of a stick. The current packages are based on 90 day moving average IIRC. At least the grants being yearly helps in this case
I've wondered this myself. As far as I can tell: they will use conventional ballistic missile defense (with improved/modified operations); lazers; railguns; or hypersonic misses themself
The greatest threat is tracking since hypersonic can change course rapidly
