How about a Screen Time Parental Controls literally do not work, at all, just completely unusable and broken?

How about I can’t connect my AirPods to my watch to play music because my watch insists on acting as a remote control for my phone Music app, and support hasn’t been able to fix it for 5 years, over several watches and AirPods?


If you answer a call on the watch and have AirPods on, it can figure out to switch the audio in/out to AirPods for the call; it just gets handled by the watch. Then you have to awkwardly lean into the watch and listen very carefully because if there is any noise, you won't understand much because of the tiny speaker. Completely defeat the ecosystem argument, and I think the speaker in the watch is largely useless.

The Apple Watch is popular but not very good at anything, really. All the apps are more cumbersome to use than they are worth; you can't properly make a real custom watch face, and sports tracking is extremely basic without additional software.


There are homophones of “record”, such as:

“He’s on record saying he broke the record for spinning a record.”


True.

OTOH my point that the thing being suggested to be tested is not testable by seeing whether or not the system is capable of distinguishing homophones, but might be by seeing whether or not it distingishes heteronyms still stands. (The speculation that the record/record distinction intended was one that is actually a pair of heteronyms and that the error was merely the use of the word “homophone" in place of “heteronym”, rather than the basic logic of the comment is somewhat tangential to the main point.)


> Strangely, a big percentage of these disappearances have clues in common: Huckleberries, dogs, ...

All clues point to Huckleberry Hound, known associate of Jellystone denizen Yogi Bear.
