This was very common back in the day. It’s a form of DRM: it prevents you from playing the game on two computers at once.

It used to be common to make your life easier (even if you weren’t sharing the disc) by downloading an unofficial ‘no-cd’ patch, which was a patched game executable that omitted the ‘disc present’ check.

In 1995 I was in college at the computer lab and all the machines ran windows 3.1 which could exit back to a DOS prompt. The woman behind me accidentally did this. The directory DOS happened to be in was the virus protection software named simply "virus" so the DOS prompt read "C:\virus" and she got up and screamed "THERE'S A VIRUS ON THIS COMPUTER!"

Smartphones drew the same judgmental glares for a few years. If you were holding them up to use them, people'd think you were recording and would be irritated or upset. If you were recording, they're really be unhappy with you. People talking on or looking at cell phones in public at all were usually coded as "asshole" in basically all media in the 90s and 00s, and that pretty much reflected popular opinion.

By the early 20-teens, though, all that was just normal and everyone was doing it.

Interesting. The code for duct insulation in unconditioned spaces in the US is R8, and they're pushing for higher currently.

They also recently undid a long held myth about ducts buried in insulation leading to condensation issues. Most areas now allow ducts to be buried as long as you have R19 above and below, or R30 above. When I just installed a ducted mini for 3 upstairs bedrooms, I surrounded my R8 flex duct with R30 insulation.
What does any of that have to do with Apple requiring people to have an iPhone to use their watch? Maybe you don't want an iPhone and are satisfied with the functionality of the watch alone. Maybe you have one of the zillions of Android phones out there and don't want an iPhone for that reason. Literally no other smart watch that I know of requires that you have a phone of any kind, so I just don't see any reason for Apple to require it with their watch.

I might be the weird one, but a device you stick to your TV to watch contents doesn't feel like an accessory to me.

The market competitors are roku, fire TV, Google TV(is it still called that ?), and plex boxes. Playstation and XBox would be a stretch, but there's overlap. None of them will force you to get ropped into an ecosystem outside of creating an account and paying for the content.

Not OP but I know quite a few people who really do not like to carry their phone around.

I couldn't understand this for the longest time until I asked my sister, who kept handing her phone to me to hold on to while on a family trip, about this one day. Apparently, a lot of women's clothing doesn't have "usable" pockets (they're tiny or fake...)! And with the size of modern phones, it's actually often quite a nuisance to carry around a phone.

While this may not be OP's situation, I would guess this might be one reason for the proliferation of cellular-enabled smart watches...

Apple isn’t interested in that. They want you to “buy in” into their ecosystem wholesale. Making Apple products easier to use independently would also make it easier to leave their ecosystem. They rely on the extra friction caused by combining Apple with non-Apple products.

Details: I own a Mac & no other Apple devices. My TV is an LG. I have the Apple streaming service on the TV, purely because they have some pretty good shows (Ted Lasso, Separation, Acapulco).

I don't like this mandatory tie between the two Apple product lines any more than you do, but as an FYI nit on terminology:

> somehow thought any up-to-date iOS device would work. [...] Got the newest iPad?

iOS 12 was the last version of iOS where that name applied to iPad as well as iPhone. Starting with version 13, the version of the operating system for iPhone had been the only one called iOS, with the iPad OS called iPadOS.

So, yes, I suspect that any up to date iOS device does work, through the magic of terminology peculiarities, unless currently supported Apple Watches don't support all currently supported iPhones (I haven't checked if that is the case).

As for the operating system for Apple Watch, that has always been called watchOS.
WoT was hot garbage from the jump and not even Rosamund Pike could save it. GoT was awesome and did respect the source material. It is just that GRRM hasn't written in 20 years that caused major issues. The writing that he actually did was good. His problem was that he wove too many threads and people started getting bored and wondering if the story in the show would ever end. So they rushed the ending (so it could end) and made some questionable choices. However, it isn't like there were any good options for how to wrap it up.

Epic fantasy is hard. Look at the middle 6 WoT books, almost nothing of relevance happens in 4000 pages. When GoT was signed I'm sure GRRM promised them that the next books were already "done" and ready for release but as is typical, 12 years later they had nothing. Honestly, they should have diverged from the source after season 4 and create a new story that could be concluded satisfactorily.
Netflix does not pay residuals, they pay a lump sum upfront.

So he's right about why WB cancelled and pulled a lot of shows (and the new CEO specifically acknowledged that this was done to avoid residuals) but wrong about why Netflix is cancelling shows.

It's actually very silly for Netflix to cancel shows after 1 season; they generally tie talent to 3-season deals so the cost for a show doesn't significantly increase until a 4th season. Basically, Netflix show financing frontloads all the costs of a new show on its balance sheets. It helped in the beginning to draw talent in, but now it's biting them in the ass because their shows start off more expensive.

Having sunk the money in, Netflix is faced with 2 choices: throw good money after bad and hope that the show can attract new viewers over the remainder of the initial 3-year contract, or just cancel the show. Most networks will give shows that are on the "bubble" of profitability additional time to try and gain an audience if the shows are cheap enough to justify the risk. But since Netflix frontloads the costs, the financial calculus rarely pencils out.
Too soon. There will still be at least 3 cycles (so a decade or two) before that happens. But I think we touched the bottom this time so it probably won't get back to last week's price.

> There is absolutely no reason to impose such a limit.

regardless, I'm pretty sure that somewhere within Apple, they think it makes them more money this way, for the immediate term at least.
I would be more concerned about this if the competition in this space was not so disappointing this far. I think there are good smartwatches in the Android space, but none of them are great, and none of them have challenged the Apple Watch in terms of feature set and quality. And Apple hasn’t sat on its laurels here. They keep making the watch a more desirable device. To me, it seems like they know they can get people to consider switching if they want the watch. And the market keeps rewarding them. I had a Moto360 early on and loved it. It was a competitor to the Apple Watch only by virtue of being an electronic watch.

It would be nice if Apple would make the watch accessible to people without iPhones. I would certainly believe their rhetoric about the importance of health tech if they did that.

Actually, I know many people who do this: create a temporary email address, register for a Netflix trial, and cancel it after you watched your favorite show. It's not really that much of the hassle, other than having to type in your credit card details when you register.
it is so easy to forget we're in this together. it's nice to be reminded. peace and joy fellow travelers.
Which is disappointing, because there is stuff out there like Wonderfalls - the writers from the beginning understood the premise was so weird that they wrote the first season as self-contained, just in case it was canceled. And it was. And because of how they wrote it, it still works as a one-off thing to watch even now.
Why wouldn't I? While I'm not surprised by Apple's shennenigans, I haven't foreseen this. I can spin up servers, manage smart home, check my car's fuel through browser, surely I should be able to set daily time limit on my kid's phone through browser too.
If those "others" are a small minority, then the parent's point still stands.
I’ve built my product career working on projects that present risks to the status quo for companies.

This isn’t unique to Apple. Not to defend them specifically, but a company willing to focus on long term is the exception.

Most companies have leaders that are given goals that constrain them to short term gains. It drives truly suboptimal long-term decision making, but it also usually aligns with their incentives.

Changing that view takes (1) an existential threat, (2) a lot of data, and (3) a team that can execute quickly and reliably once a window opens.
The overwhelming majority of users have been voting with their dollars: they want bigger and bigger smartphone screens.

Look at what people do on their phones all day. Most of that makes no sense on a watch screen.
As of a year ago or so, Roku now supports AirPlay, which allowed me to finally decommission my 3rd Gen Apple TV. I had no interest in the overpriced 4th Gen.
> there's still a lot of work to be done

This is huge mistake. Looks like You don't understand enterprise economy and recession.

In reality, enterprise economy divided to two semi-connected parts:

1. making (sell) new products (new and existing services).

2. support of existing products (services), support subscribers.

Part 2 is near constant when recession (in reality it slow declining, but not much, typical 5% decline per year for US large enterprises).

And by definition, part 2 grow, when have activities on part 1.

But! By definition, activities of part 1 need investments, for development and for marketing.

Exists one exclusion - when Your competitor fail, You could try to gather his customers. This could be very cheap. Sometimes You will decide to pay money, to somebody, so You could avoid these customers, because now You don't have free resources and don't want to invest (read next).

Mean, to grow business, You should invest something, but when recession, money become expensive (fees are raising, inflation happen, but without grow), so You must cut costs, and first thing doing typical business - stop all development, and cut marketing activity.

You are partially right, support is also huge, but it cannot substitute development.

And by definition, development and support are very different types of work, so when recession, people must learn different things than when grow.

Sure, not all people learn well, and learning is very time-consuming process, so appear gap on market, between supply and demand. And because of this gap, appears illusion of lot work.
That was a major issue. They were told some general things that needed to happen but super high level. The other issue is that the story as written had sprawled uncontrollably and there was no way to reign it back in to a reasonable ending.
> Apple's forced to open its ecosystem

I can almost guarantee this won't happen. Apple will do everything possible to stick to the wording of any laws and regulations, while making the actual process as complex as possible. "I'm afraid to pair with an android phone, you need to take your Apple TV into an Apple Store, where they can generate a pairing code, which will then be valid until the next update before requiring re-pairing, which must again be done at an Apple Store"

I think for in the range of 98% of smartphone users the phone is the least useful feature.

If I were meant to speak to people I wouldn’t have been born an engineer.

I agree with you. I guess the question is the overlap / and or market.

I don’t know about anything at the scale of Apple.

But my simplified imagination of any product is: focus on core customer/demo, once you’ve captured a significant portion, expand.

But I also wonder if at apples level, if the customer is “everyone” which I always think of as folly for most business.

Example (which may partially disprove this): I know some people in developing countries, who consider an iPad an essential device. (They have a cheap android phone) and for them, it’s much more valuable than a computer.

(Though, the people I am thinking of are “high” earners in their country, making 20-40k a year. Even if an iPad is almost double the cost.)
> Epic fantasy is hard. Look at the middle 6 WoT books, almost nothing of relevance happens in 4000 pages

Reading this makes me kind of sad because the industry right now wouldn’t support that. That author would get pushed right out, epub-only releases, less marketing, etc. I wonder if we’ll ever have a long epic like this again.
Related - is there a way I can download pictures from an Iphone to a Linux computer locally? Not interested in using any form of cloud intermediary. Evidently, if I plug a cable from an Iphone into a computer, enter my password, this still represents a threat if it is not overseen by iTunes. The device is in my hand, connected to the intended destination, and it is non-trivial to retrieve my data.

Just absurd behavior from Apple.

Edit: I should add -the IPhone does mount. For instance, it lets me view my Firefox Downloads folder or VLC folder to which you could move media in and out of the device. However, access to my personal photos is a step too far.
It's unfortunate that Apple can't figure out how to enable the algorithm they designed themselves on Android devices so the second device doesn't need to be an iPhone. I'm sure those smart engineers will figure out their own protocol choices some day if we just give them enough time.
If you haven't read the source material it's a fine show. Yes, just like all other shows nowadays diversity is the most important feature, but once you look past that it's not bad. Certainly better than rings of power in my opinion.

Apple removed support for my wifi receiver one day out of the blue.

Apple removed youtube from my appletv one day just out of the blue.

A lot of people prefer standalone streaming boxes over integrated "smarts" because they tend to run more smoothly due to having vastly more powerful hardware and tend to receive software updates for a much longer period (see Samsung smart TVs where features stop working in 1-2 years). A dedicated streaming box also sometimes makes it easier to cut out the egregious data harvesting that smart TV makers employ to subsidize their TVs (though Roku and Amazon Fire devices are still data vacuums).

My personal setup is a 2018 Sony TV with an Apple TV 4K. The smarts on the TV aren't the worst, but the Apple TV handily beats it in fluidity, so the TV has never been connected to the internet and never will be.

Netflix’s incentives are all out of whack. The more a customer uses the service, the more they cost. Meanwhile revenue per customer is essentially fixed. Your biggest fans are your worst liabilities!
Being a mobile computer repair guy, I had some similar experiences. Two stand out.

We'll call the first Chris K. He was an older gentlemen who could barely walk in a straight line, stooped over so far as he was. But his energy was far greater than that which is body would let him express. He was a writer who usually needed help figuring out something with his latest book, which he was self-publishing.

The computer was tucked into a corner of a large room above his garage where the walls were lined with hundreds of books. This was his lair, his private place where he ruled as king. He told me stories of emigrating from France to the US, becoming a naturalized citizen so that he could join the draft and fight in Vietnam. Of having enough damage done to the right side of his face that he had to have a skin graft, sourced from his buttocks. He told of the joy he had when he invited somebody he didn't like to give him a kiss on the cheek! I would often finish the job and then just listen to his stories for a while until I had to go to the next.

His wife on the other hand was a quiet woman. You could see a twinkle in their eyes when they were together. I admired them for that. I really loved that old fellow. I'd been going to his home, a two story home up on a hill, for about a year.

One day I saw his name on my schedule, and automatically went to his home. But when the car stopped at his driveway, it was empty. Quickly the realization came that something was wrong. It dawned on me that the address on the schedule wasn't his home address.

I did recognize the address, however, and when my brain put the puzzle together, my heart sank.

When I walked into the his room at the assisted living home, I very nearly wept. His once vast library shrank to a small book shelf in a corner. A few belongings were his own, but this was clearly a temporary arrangement, and likely his last home. The most heartbreaking moment though, was when we made eye contact. The fire was gone. The once vibrant man, full of piss and vinegar, was now a broken shell.

Chris's beloved wife had died suddenly, leaving him without a care taker. His children opted to send him to an assisted living home. That was the last time I saw him. I moved away soon after that, and I never knew what happened next, but I didn't need to find out. The outcome was obvious enough.

The look in his eyes that day is still hard to think about, but I am grateful for the chance to have made any modicum of a difference in his life.
