This kills any advertising revenue they have and I'm sure twitter blue subscribers won't be happy about this if it keeps going on. I wonder if they will give twitter blue subscribers an even higher limit so that they can actually use it.
Maintaining services that no one knows anything about, management afraid to let anyone touch anything because no one understands what may break. Everyone griping about the systems they don't know, wanting to re-implement from scratch but not having the time to do so.
Not using your Garmin for hiking is very surprising.
Primary reason is that tracking position for the duration drains battery where Garmin can do 50hrs of it. This gives me a .gpx file of the route for future reference and passing to friends.
Second is that while tracking it's 10x easier to check current distance and elevation on a watch vs phone. I head out with a list of mileage for every notable waypoint (water, turns, elevation of passes, etc). I'm constantly checking this and only if I'm questioning my route do I pull out my phone.
Weight: Fenix is heavy- 945 is better, Coros Pace 2 even better.
Maybe I got a lemon but after taking way too long to conclude this was the case, the Fenix 5 just never gave me correct distances and I gave up on using it. Tried all the usual setting changes.
For a day hike, my Apple Watch 3 is adequate but battery life is a bit marginal. I assume the Ultra will be sufficiently better that day hikes (which is mostly what I do) will be fine.
I mean my Apple Watch 3 is spot-on compared to the Fenix 5 which could be off by double-digit percentages. I found the Fenix 5 was pretty accurate on straight paths. But, yeah, tree cover, switchbacking up hills, etc. really threw it off.
I totally get all the arguments in favor of the Fenix 7 or related. It's really a question IMO of whether you want a mostly dedicated watch for relatively hardcore outdoor activities or if you want an Apple Watch and its ecosystem to do routine day-to-day smartwatch things while also doing a lot of outdoor activities better than prior Apple Watches though probably not overall as well as a dedicated device.
I was sort of on the fence prior to the latest announcement but, for me, the Ultra seems the pretty clear choice.
If I invest right now, what are the chances that this round strikes it rich? The problem is that if a breakthrough is not achieved in this particular round then the company essentially goes bankrupt and my investment is worth zero.
Quantum is far enough away that unless you have deep pockets it's a donation to a charitable cause. The capital requirements are large enough that profits will be sucked up by later investors who would sooner let the company go bankrupt than let you get a decent return on your money.
What if the ToS change is to curb abuse? Can users just opt-out and continue their abuse?
What if the abuse is costing Twitter significant money? I see language about decompiling. Do they have to continue providing service to companies who may be exploiting loopholes in the ToS?
Please do not re-implement HTML sanitization. Just replace that escapeForHTML and innerHTML assignment with a later textContent assignment. Please. Pretty please.
