“”There’s lots of reasons to buy the watch even without the blood oxygen sensor””.
I’m sorry but that was the entire reason I was going to trade-in my series 4 for a newer one. So I guess my series 4 that barely last 20hrs will continue to live on my nightstand. I would wear a normal watch if my health wasn’t garbage or if I could ever feel my phone vibrate when it is in my pocket.
I wish to play devil’s advocate for patents. But I first would like to note we need to set aside lawyers, corrupt judges, and anything else surrounding patents.
Patents were made to help the little guy out. They provide a way for someone to come up with a unique idea and protect it from larger entities that could pay to replicate manufacturing cheaply and destroy the little guy before he can make his first sale. Patents provide indisputable proof that someone had the idea first and has the right to make a living off their idea. Ergo, the American dream.
Now to jump back to reality; this entire, wonderful, system that was built to protect the American dream has been ruined by the same thing that ruins society and has pushed all of us into a late-stage capitalistic hellscape… greed.
I don’t wish to accuse Masimo or Apple of being greedy. That is a slippery slope I don’t want to visit right now. But patents are a good idea that have been taken and manipulated to protect a few pocket books.
Oh, I did not know that. I haven’t been following closely but I had heard it was a horrid bait-n-switch for the gameplay. I guess I could not put it past the studio to stoop that low.
I still maintain it would be cool if they open sourced the game. Asset licenses permitting.
IANAL = I Am Not A Lawyer
I can’t tell if you’re making a joke or not so there is the definition of the acronym. I added the comment because AGPL may not be the best suited license for it or any similar project. But from what I can recall, AGPL also requires forks/modifications for SaaS purposes to also make their source code available. Whereas GPL, or any others from what I can tell(again not a lawyer), does not require forks/modifications for SaaS to follow the same license.
Judging by screenshots, such a shame for so much hard work to go to waste. Wish they would open source it. I would suggest AGPL to protect their IP from being stolen(IANAL so don’t quote me), but I would take anything if it meant the work of talented people didn’t go to waste.
Hopefully a modding scene can thrive and make something decent from these ashes.
Adobe could release an open source fork of Figma at time of purchase, then sponsor the project for a set amount of time deemed fit by the EU.
However this is just pie in the sky thinking. I used to use Figma back in its early days and I loved it. After some decisions I didn’t agree with I started using Penpot. I still yearn for features from Figma and unfortunately don’t have time or money to contribute to Penpot.
Yep. I have some 18mm neodymium magnets so I made four little pockets for in the back and hot glued them in.

For the past 8 years I have primarily printed things I found online for D&D and whatever was useful without modifying it, except for scaling of course. Anything more intimidated me because that was getting into an artistic realm that is way outside of my comfort zone. But recently I have been doing a lot of retrospective analysis and decided that I am not going to let my comfort zone limit me anymore.
To paraphrase an analysis that I read awhile ago, Apple’s practices were found to be legal because Apple applied the rules unilaterally whereas Google would make backroom deals to alter the rules on an app-by-app basis.
Please take this with a grain of salt because 1) IANAL and 2) it is the middle of a workday break and I didn’t take the time to search for a source, just basing this off of memory.
If you want I can research this after work to provide sources and update my comment.
