I hate to sound like an apologist but it seems unfair to me to lump MS and Apple into the same bucket here. Yes, Apple has a 'walled garden' to an extent, but I've never once worried about MacOS serving me an ad from a third

I almost fell into this trap when buying a 'smart ring' for my spouse this year. Oura wanted $349 for the silver (!) and a subscription fee on top of that. RingConn was cheaper, the build quality seems great, and there's no

The next natural progression of this line of discussion between "the business" and engineering is for them to agree on a time range as an estimate. Engineering doesn't want to say it'll be done in 6 weeks, but they feel
