I don't think so in UK. In UK to make someone redundant (ie fired not for cause) then the job has to be removed and only the holder of that job can be fired and not any other person. Of course HR departments and consultants are paid to

What I want is a phone/wifi in a watch - e.g. Dick Tracy like. Then I am free to wander etc. If I need a screen then I can attach an iPad or smart glasses to the wifi from the watch.

What a thing invented (or at least large parts) by DARPA. An agency of the United States Department of Defense. You expect that the whole point of something there not to boost the US military?

Yes but smaller than an iPad mini. My pockets are not wide enough for a mini but would take a folding phone - the depth is much less of an issue.

It is a pain to carry an iPad and a phone if you are walking. You need either large pockets or a handbag. If it is warm then you don't want either,

What are the functions that the EU asks Apple has to supply. 1) Remove access from Android phone to macOS. 2) Remote access from iOS to Windows. Then if both doesn't the EU regs also require remote access from Android phone to Windows

And you get the under reporting of COVID information in the UK as they passed around CSV files with too many rows for the tools they used. An interchnage format needs to include information showing that you have all the data - e.g. a hash o
