>You said “medical help”

No, I didn't say that either. You're trying so hard to shoehorn words into my mouth and you're failing because this is text.

The entire gist of my statements are that an Apple Watch is not a medical device, shouldn't be trusted as one, and people referring to it as such should not be trusted either.

You've literally made up everything else here.

>If you don’t know what the Apple Watch does why are you saying it has no medical benefits?

I know what an Apple watch is and what it's capable of doing. I said it's not a medical device. Medical benefits are a different story. Many non-medical devices have medical benefits. There's a big difference there.

Do you generally reply to people without actually reading their words? I said nothing about medical benefits.

>An Apple Watch has sensors that can help in predicting afib

The article does not cover afib at all. What are you talking about? I only engaged with the AED because it's an actual medical device, which an Apple watch is not.

>smoothbrain

Sophomoric insults are a sure sign of a loser losing an argument.

Have a great day.

>A sensor that tells you if you might be having afib.

Yeah a sensor in the actual medical device called an AED - Automatic Electronic Defibrillator - determines that, not an Apple smartwatch.

>Right just like a stethoscope does.

The stethoscope is useless without a trained professional using it because anyone else is simply guessing at what they hear.

It's a sensor, that's all.

It's like wearing a stethoscope and claiming that it's saving your life.

>Assuming you didn't actually read the article and aren't actually in the legal profession.

I read the article. I don't have to be a legal expert or any other kind of expert to express my opinion, which is what I did. What's the point in you even stating this unless you're a legal expert yourself because you're rendering your own opinion here as well.

>A study, conducted by researchers, says "hey we may be able to use this to do this!"

A study was conducted using their watch as a data collection tool and nothing else. They were probably paid for the brand mention. Basically they used the watch as a sensor, that's all. A different brand watch could be used in exactly the same way or perhaps some actual medical sensors so there's nothing special about that claim, it's simply branding.

>Not Apple saying "use our watch to treat sickle cell!" at all. It's researchers saying the device may assist with early warning signs.

I didn't say Apple claimed anything. I said that claims of this thing being medically beneficial were spurious and possibly legally actionable.

An Apple Watch isn't a medical device and they know it.

Any claim of medical help using an Apple Watch is spurious and possibly legally actionable.

New regulations don't get rid of old equipment that's been stuck in orbit and is drifting around causing problems.

There are no solutions to this problem right now, and it's a big problem.

Space X isn't the only entity that's been delivering payloads to orbit for the last 60 years or so, is it?

This problem isn't over-sensationalized, if anything it's been ignored.

Most of the stuff that was put up there remains up there even though it died years ago. That's the nature of putting things in orbit - They tend to stay there.

Oh yeah. That must be the only thing that's up there in what they referred to as "a bad neighborhood," huh?

What happens to decommissioned satellites? Most of them are just abandoned in place and then they just slowly drift out of orbit.

I read the article. You should look past it. This isn't just the result of a handful of recent launches. This stuff has been building up in orbit for decades.

There are no neighborhoods in space, not even in quotation marks.

This is the direct result of corporations and governments not cleaning up after themselves, which is now just normal and depressing. They've all known what would happen if they didn't take action but they all made the decision to kick that can down the road multiple times and now here we are.

How long do we have before they start offloading the blame for orbital debris on rank and file citizens like they've done with carbon emissions?
