Raising a child is noteworthy. Same for the millions of people who do it now, and the millions of people who did it before them. Just because millions of people do it doesn't diminish the significance of it. Framing it as such, is like saying there's no point running a race if you don't come first. A personal victory is still a victory. If it matters to you, then that's all that matters. All of those things like authoring papers, winning great prizes, setting records, will all be eventually be lost to time.

One use case is the web view allows you to check emails of a workspace that requires a Google Device policy to be installed to use the native apps. Of course, the simple solution is to be given a workplace phone or don't check emails when away from a computer.

That's not the impression I have from the article. The overwhelming % of execs are pushing for positive change. At the end of the day, it's the "put your own mask on first" principle. Execs are humans just like everyone else, with their own job pressures and stresses, not robots that can automatically compartmentalise and supress their own feelings and emotions.

Re:Active noise cancellation is not for me

The Airpod Pros and Airpod Max Pros definitely changed my sentitment towards active noise cancellation. Transparency is great when I want more awareness of my surroundings without having to take out my earphones. The Maxs also don't seem to have any of ear pressure that had led me to sell my Bose QC35s a couple of weeks after buying them.
Re:Peloton cuts back on Apple Watch support

My Peloton is one of the best fitness purchases I've made in years. And thats after a couple of years on a Wahoo Kickr Snap and a year on a Wahoo Kickr Core, mostly using Zwift with a bit of TrainerRoad mixed in. The classes on Peloton are just so much fun, motivating and uplifting.
