I just went to the App Store and installed that version and it just replaced the test flight version. Nothing was lost and I didn’t need to sign in again or anything

It probably has to do with routing cables through the wall more than anything

I had this from alarm clock from 3rd grade all the way until I graduated high school. The night light had stopped functioning and the clock set button on the back was janky AF by the end of it. Lost it at some point during a move or else I’d still have it. Now they go for a pretty penny.

Loose could really be tightened up if it could just lose one of those Os

At the very least shows that the police were incompetent and none of the evidence against him should be trusted

It’s like Olive Garden up in this thread

“Wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which one fills up first.” - Find a way to do it yourself, because it isn’t happening otherwise

I fell into this situation a couple years ago and I’m going to ride it as long as I can. The whole system of savings cards is so convoluted that it’s no surprise these kind of loopholes happen.

The same reason you don’t carry a camera, a music player, a phone, etc as separate devices in your pocket. Because it’s wildly inconvenient and super frustrating to swap between them. For diabetics in this case, you generally have two separate companies making the pump and the glucose monitor. So at that point you are carrying a phone around, a monitor for your glucose levels, and a controller for your pump. That’s three devices that you need to keep charged and on your person at all times. Not to mention they are generally not slim and sleek and easy to pocket.

The ability to swap between these from a single device and the mental offload that brings can’t be overstated.

That being said, people that use medical services on their phones should not do OS upgrades until they are notified by their makers to be verified and working and should be heavily tested before any updates go out.

Minus ad breaks, I missed this aspect of content consumption. Choosing to watch a random episode of a random show just doesn’t happen and I missed being able to just “see what’s on”. I spent a fair amount of time setting up random “channels” I can tune into that play random episodes from tv shows on my media server and it’s great.

Well that just sent me down a rabbit hole.

My first foray into PWAs was this year but it was a short lived endeavor when I found out I had no hopes of feature parity across devices for core functionality and decided to switch to React Native instead. I didn’t know android did that with PWAs.

Thanks for the explanation.
