I just got caught by this myself: it doesn't work on an regular iPhone 12 either. It needs to be an iPhone 12 Pro or 12 Pro Max.

The CDC recommends getting vaccinated if you’ve had COVID unless there are medical reasons not. As for there not being enough vaccines around the world: I’m taking the US centric view, sorry, because the whole context of this topic is about

I see that you’re suffering from the common affliction of having a strong opinion about something you have no clue about: vaccines have not been approved for those younger than 12. Now that your knowledge level has increased, will you pleas

You’re not wrong. Eating well and training hard is also racing 101. But that has nothing to do with having a better strategy.

She won deservedly. And it was very entertaining. But there was luck involved, and in 99% of the cases, it’d be terrible advice and strategy to count on a major communications breakdown within the team of top favorites and (apparently) with

It’s easy to underestimate a break-away rider when you don’t know that there is one. The silver medal winner thought she had won the race. They need a kick for not communicating amongst themselves.

Your assumption that a company’s priority is to not share is a possibility, but it is a worst case one, and one that is IMO less of a concern for a programming language: keeping bug fixes or even new language features to themselves may very
