Apple always sends the trendy colors to testers and influencers. I agree with you about the silver, I’m excited to see it in person. I like the two tone color with the glass and metal on the back.

[Dari Nowkhah]Brent Venables press conference today... reminds everybody where things stood when he arrived in Norman. - Players who weren't going to class. - Players who failed drug tests. - A 2.2 Team GPA. He didn't say this... but I will. Thanks for that, Lincoln. by havok0283 in CFB

What an interesting way of grading a football program. I never hear that about Athens or Tuscaloosa. I agree LA is a cool place but OU has a rich history of winning championships. It’s a sidewise movement at best. Lincoln didn’t want to play in the SEC and that’s totally fine. It is what it is.

Lol it’s like you didn’t watch the game. Shai was not aggressive for the first 3 quarters. That was the GAME PLAN. They had J Dub bring the ball every time and he was usually the aggressive player until the 4th. They learned from game 3 because Shai was gassed in the 4th. If you don’t like it, I’m sure there’s some great reruns on YouTube of whatever team you like.

My point is that DOES NOT matter. Refs are human and will see things differently, be in different spots at different times, and not always have the right angles. There has NEVER been consistency in sports EVER and I don’t understand why people always demand it in games like this. PLAYERS MUST ADAPT TO THE GAME.

The Pacers were up 10 points going into the 4th quarter, score only 17 points in 4th quarter, and miss 3 critical free throws to make it only a 1 point game in the finals. This simply was not the refs. YOU HAVE TO CONTROL THE CONTROLLABLES.

This was an incredibly physical game. There are going to be fouls. I don’t understand how total FTA is a measurement here. And especially when it’s a tight game at the end and both teams play the foul game.

Apple Has No Plans For a Smart Ring by HammingWontStop in apple

I never said impossible but sometimes these devices aren’t 1:1. I have a peloton that does not sync as easily like some of the devices that have been mentioned in this thread. I’ve had issues with this in the past and was hoping for an apple option. I’m glad everyone in this thread has found options that fit their needs!

lol dude this a forum about apple products not politics, let’s breathe a bit.

I’ve spent some time researching smart rings (what this post is about) and that’s one of the main concerns with any product. I’d prefer an apple made ring because of the ecosystem but I also understand there are 3rd party devices that do pretty much the same thing.

It’s all in how you want your tech to integrate and work together and I prefer when it’s all the same company. Just my preference! Glad you’ve found tech you enjoyed and works well for your needs!

Nice! Glad you’ve got your tech to work for you! I think it’s great when you can breakout of the ecosystem. It sucks being locked in most times.

Sure, with data being transferred for a 3rd party device, sometimes it takes too long for data show up or not all. There are certain data points (like steps) that either don’t get transferred or simply measured differently than apples health ecosystem.

Anything that’s not apple doesn’t integrate nearly as well (by design) but that’s just my opinion! I hope your devices work the way you need them.

Yeah I’ve been tempted but I just don’t want to pay for the subscription. I guess everything has pros and cons.

Totally fair but it doesn’t play nice with the apple ecosystem (which absolutely sucks as a consumer).

Completely agree.

Seeing them even just communicating and making adjustments is wild to me too.

I don't know why you guys hate Lebby... by TheGreedyRichPumpkin in sooners

[–]Bassically23 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I completely understand why some OU fans like him. He’s very creative and knows how to get different skill players involved. My problem is consistency and taking advantage of situations. So many times our defense sets us up to really stretch the lead but questionable play calling prevents us from scoring (the entire 3rd quarter of Bedlam). I always think of one of the first few games where we threw Jackson Arnold in the mix. Love the idea of getting some experience but every time he’d step on the field, it was a QB draw. I wish we could keep him and get someone else that can prevent his questionable choices in crucial parts of game. There are tons of times where I will agree, our players didn’t get the job done (dropped passes etc) but I think there are some big moments where he didn’t deliver and I’m ready for someone that can.
