That's a pretty big problem, with varying consequences of the Apple Watch's reliance on streaks. At best, a person might feel slightly dejected or let down after missing a ring or two and losing their streak. At worst, a person decides to over-train in order to keep their streak, causing a serious injury that prevents them for closing their rings for a much longer period of time. After using the Whoop 4.0 for a few weeks — a minimalist fitness tracker that's entire goal is to provide insight on strain, rest, and recovery — it's abundantly clear that the Apple Watch is disregarding an important part of long-term fitness.
Passkeys are the way of the future in basic internet security as they're intrinsically more secure and phishing resistant, according to Kathleen Moriarty, the chief technology officer at the Center for Internet Security. As major companies including Apple, Google and Microsoft work with the standards developed by the FIDO Alliance and World Wide Web Consortium — two organizations that create password authentication standards — to provide support for passkeys on their platforms, the list of organizations offering passkeys as an alternative to passwords is continuing to grow.
"Passkeys are an example of what security should be: seamless and invisible to the end user," said Moriarty.
But for digital collectors like me, there is a big drawback to accumulating our movies through iTunes: the Apple TV app. To be clear, I’m talking about the TV desktop and laptop app for macOS and, now, Windows (Apple uses the “Apple TV” brand, confusingly, for its hardware, software, and services offerings). It’s the primary app that collectors use to organize and manage their iTunes-bought movies, though you can also do so, to a more limited degree, via the TV app for iPhone.
Unlike Apple’s other media management apps, which include Books, Podcasts, and Music, and which are capable, full-featured, and excellent repositories where collectors can manage their libraries, the TV app for Mac, despite being four years old, still feels like a bare-bones and frustrating experience for film lovers. These are our most common gripes.
For the last several months, a large number of Apple TV users have been battling connectivity issues with the Siri Remote. Despite growing complaints, however, Apple still hasn’t rolled out a fix for these problems — even in recent tvOS 16.3 and tvOS 16.3.1 updates.
The app, which has become essential to my recovery, allows you to track your sobriety, build positive habits and connect with other members of the community.
As someone who has been sober for just over three years, I find the way I’m helped to celebrate milestones incredibly empowering.
Some 625 of the top 1,000 Twitter advertisers, including major brands such as Coca-Cola, Unilever, Jeep and Merck, had pulled their ad dollars as of January, according to estimates from Pathmatics, based on data running through January 25. The brands did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

A small number of Twitter’s top advertisers spent more on the platform in January than they did the month prior to Musk’s takeover, including ESPN, Salesforce and Apple, the latter of which Musk briefly and publicly feuded with for allegedly threatening to block Twitter from its app store. ESPN, Salesforce and Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Tomorrow, here where I live, the requirement for wearing masks while taking public transports will be dropped. This marks the end of one of few remaining Covid rules. (The masking requirement in hospitals and health institutes remains.)
It has been three long years.
Certain things have changed. I no longer have the urge to go sit alone in a coffeeshop, a cup of coffee in my hands, earphones piping in audiobooks and podcasts, and watch the rain (if I am lucky) outside.
I have lowered my daily step-count goals from 10,000 down to 7,000, and occasionally you will see me walking around my dining table in the evening, trying to catch up.
It is easier to work at home than before, but I do have to learn a bit about VPNs and firewalls and such. And my workplace has also gone hybrid, just like the fruit company.
Updating this little website is one constant I have that I cherish.
I am sad to have to go through these three years, losing some along the way. My instinct (and all the science news articles) tells me it's not over, but I'm glad there had been three years of progress.
Glad to see you here, and thanks for reading.
