If you are a person who cares about the difference between 24-bit / 44.1kHz and 24-bit / 192kHz audio, you probably already left Spotify.

Spotify knows that, they also figured out that's why they couldn't charge more for lossless.

EU is demanding that every site use age verification technology, while insisting it do things it cannot do, and behave in a manner it cannot behave. This is not policy making. This is wishful thinking, with a side of "we'll just blame the tech companies for not waving their magic wand."

If Apple or Garmin came out with a display-free band with GPS, Whoop would be in serious trouble trying to charge this much per month. For now, Whoop is able to play against the downsides of a smart ring, which suffers badly for weightlifting/battery life/etc.

I don't think journalists should get up in arms about being blocked from this hearing, provided there is a backdoor that they can use.

It's a small role for now, just a few hours per week, but may expand. Our immediate need is someone who can work around this time of day (~5pm Pacific), though we may soon need to staff for other hours too.

I can't imagine Google and Apple are going to keep TikTok on their app stores, even if Trump claims he won't enforce the ban - there is no upside.

This is Garmin's biggest long-term weakness. The company needs to cannibalize its InReach offerings to push this tech to the wrist.

Further out, glucose monitoring is going to be a mainstream training metric that will push Apple ahead.

Now, if only Apple could make the Watch battery decent...
