All regulation is written in blood. If there was no regulation, everyone would be cutting corners and we'd get daily titan submersible-like situations.

Do you want a piece of suspension up your ass because a cab driver hit a road bump too hard?

Do you want your legs amputated? Because we can make bumpers go lower and more pointy to improve fuel efficiency.

If manufacturers could, they'd drop the catalytic converter and we'd be back to seeing/breathing cars spewing thick black smoke.

All that and they would still charge you the same as now.

Do you have a computer telling you that speed or are you just making a guess? Because I find it unrealistic to be +30 kph on flat ground with a mountain bike for 30 minutes.

I say this because I have a gravel bike and can only keep +30kph for long periods if I'm on a slight incline and I'm pedaling with a purpose (not full sprint, but you wouldn't see a commuter pedal that hard)

On average people in commuting bikes will most likely be at around 15kph, low 20s on descents.

Only a couple of the final pod nanos had built-in radio, the other iPods all required additional hardware to be plugged in. I found that the hard way with an iPod classic... Even my shitty flip phone had built-in radio with an earpiece connected lol.

I just want to point out that 50,000k = 50,000000.

Not to mention that they did start with the narrative that they start enforcing this on a certain date, but it took me 2 months over that to receive the warning/being locked out. I remember seeing people from Canada (one of the countries in the first wave) that still had not been forced off 4 months into the date they had set.

They appear to be taking it slow (not booting off everyone at the same time) to build this narrative that it's working fantastically so to not get a massive drop off in users (stock price drop) and waiting out for their competition to also move forward with this change. All of this while also adding more markets, dropping the prices in others and removing the cheaper plans.

Pretty sure the "lite" version were just decluttered versions with features missing and better optimization (usually aimed at developing countries). They likely track as much (well, probably not as much because there's no point in tracking stuff that the app doesn't support).

I've actually noticed they started decluttering the messenger app. Rooms are gone and they've also removed the chat suggestion bubbles at the top. So when you launch the app you only see the conversations you have active.

That, low Vitamin D levels (I suffered from exactly this due to being a shut-in + pandemic quarantine) or a bunch different things.

You definitely should not be waking up tired from just working. Get checked.
