    Do you have an alternative you prefer?

    Some VPN providers provide free dns that is just as “fast” and doesn’t block archive today. If you’re using unbound/pihole. You can set archive today domains specifically to use some other dns, but everything else remains cf.

    >Archive.today actively sabotages requests from CloudFlare / Quad9 users. Can you explain more about exactly what you mean by this?

      I will say that today, for the first time in a long time, I seem to be able to click this link and actually get the page to load... But it has been an issue for a long time. But, as an explanation: https://jarv.is/notes/cloudflare-dns-archive-is-blocked/ https://jarv.is/notes/cloudflare-dns-archive-is-blocked/ > ... Archive.is’s owner is actively refusing to resolve their own website for 1.1.1.1 users because Cloudflare’s DNS offers too much privacy.

        Weird. It's a first for me as well (Cloudflare DNS and getting through to archive.is).

Is Masimo a Patent troll or legit?
- henriquez 3y ago
  Legit - they’re a biomedical device company with many products. Apple met with them prior to copying their tech.

    Ah. So Apple just stole the technology. Apple can still make watches. Just not with blood-oxygen sensors.

      ...and hired away the CTO of a Masimo sister company (whose name was referenced in several Apple patents) as well as Masimo's Chief Medical Officer. https://www.macrumors.com/2023/04/18/apple-masimo-legal-battle/ https://www.macrumors.com/2023/04/18/apple-masimo-legal-batt...

    It worked for Steve Jobs so why not try it again!

Note that only Apple is required to stop selling them; Amazon, Best Buy, others with Apple watches in stock can still sell from existing inventory even after the deadline. And the SE is still available!
