It's bulky but it is made to last so ok. But the health stuff I don't use. My use case is: leave my bulky brick iPhone at home but still enjoy digital life - payments, messaging, apps and music on the go. It works great - but I have to ignore the bulk that I don't use.

How come nobody makes a watch that has LTE, payments, App Store integration - not only Apple - without the health tracking - which would result in a nice slim, normal watch that does not bruise my wrist if it's too lose or my arm if it's too tight :)) you know like a normal watch experience?

Is there no market for such a thing ?","time":1691344757,"title":"Am I the only one who wants an Apple Watch without the whole health hardware?","type":"story"}],[36187590,{"by":"tbolt","descendants":11,"id":36187590,"kids":[36193830,36187904,36204037,36190483,36189134,36188055,36192182,36188651],"score":6,"text":"If you are like me and have to install gross “enterprise” software, do you install it on personal machines?

I imagine the common answer is a physical “work-provided” laptop but I’m curious, does anyone run VMs or another solution?

Edit: what I’m interested in trying is finding a good way to run a macOS VM on an Apple Silicon Mac that doesn’t suffer much performance hit.

Some may know that large corporate employers have publicly and internally announced return dates for the office, and also announced vaccine mandates for all employees.

While I would like to receive the vaccine, I am medically unable. I have had very severe allergic reactions to different vaccines and medications in the past which required hospitalization due to hives and difficulty breathing/swallowing.
