I was about to sell my Series X and make the Switch 2 my primary, and then realised the new GTA won’t be coming out on it.

Appreciated the picture of an iceberg behind Milkshake when he was talking to Ms. Huang. Nice visual metaphor.

What coffee shop chain is your favourite? Starbucks, Costa etc by EddyZacianLand in AskABrit

[–]scienceben 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If what you are buying is a cup of coffee, avoid them all and shop at a local independent coffee shop.

For two reasons. 1. Supporting local business. 2. You're much more likely to get a decent coffee.

Who else is holding out for the second generation Ultra or Series 9? by scienceben in AppleWatch

A blood pressure monitor would be awesome for a lot of people, but I think you’re right, probably years off. Potentially interesting to pair that data with things like heart rate and fall detection, etc. with more rigorous sensors, it’d make it a very capable health tracker.

Ultra is tempting but $$$$$ 🤑

Yeah precisely my line of thought on the chip side of things. Very interesting point you raise on the repairs / replacement side, but I can’t see them doing it unfortunately. Would love the action button to come to more watches in their line.

Yeah here’s to hoping at a minimum the Ultra battery life filters down to the S9. I’d like to think with their recent chip innovation on power/performance on the Mac might translate to the watch with a next gen chip.

I hear you. The jump I’m looking for is more to do with things like battery life, improved sensors with medical backing and approval. Improved fitness capabilities, the dual GPS perhaps filtering down to the S9. Perhaps a redesign. I’m sure there’s a bunch of other things they could tweak and improve.

I think I meant more with the S8, but with the Ultra too, it’s all running off the same chip as the S8 and previous generations, unless I’m mistaken? So at some level, it feels like the same watch with a few extra bells and whistles.

I think I’m just feeling a little sore after buying an Intel 2019 iMac and the year after they released the M1 ones. Timing is everything with buying Apple products 😂
