So you blame the victim and also admit you haven't explored the author's use case. Very helpful
The victim is complaining that they were hurt. I seek to empower them to not be hurt further. What are you bringing to the table? Snide comments?

#82```The associate agreed with me that they should not deprecate the old app until the new app can handle this configuration. I asked them to raise this up the chain: they need to push back the deprecation date.``` There's no way a CSR has any power over this.
But they can, and do. escalate problems. It’s not like there’s a side entrance for people with problems that a CSR can’t solve.

The Apple Watch isn’t a better product? https://www.apple.com/apple-watch-for-your-kids/
Any Apple kit for your kids is completely useless if you yourself don't use Apple crap.

#85I wonder what the warranty period on this sort of device is. It’s broken without access to the hub, right? And it’s only 2 years old.

> various negative effects of the human body on radio signals I was under the impression radio waves couldn’t interact with biological matter in any meaningful way. Can you share more about this?
Matter of any kind interacts with radio wave on some level. You might be thinking of how radio waves in the bands and power used for cellular don't have a negative health impact. But they still 100% interact and the human body, being both dense and conductive, absorbs radio waves beautifully.

The main way is that literally zero of these watches actually meet the standards that the cell networks require of a cell phone. Every single one of them has a carrier exemption or a lower standard to adhere to, because it turns out that putting a cell phone's RF package into a watch is super hard, both because of size and the various negative effects of the human body on radio signals. This affects cell phones too o…
A few years ago, I signed up for an Apple Watch eSIM plan (which is a special type of eSIM plan that Apple make cell carriers agree to offer as an add-on to a normal cell subscription for your iPhone, and there is no other way go get an eSIM for it). I then started regularly receiving phone calls (to my iPhone) intended for someone else. At first I thought it was a wrong number or an old number and kept telling them…
Not a secret if you have AT&T. The watch and its phone number are listed right there in its own section on the bill.

Not unique to Apple Watches, or any other device.
