Sounds goofy. It still needs the finish machining. They are basically
3D printing a slab of metal.

And why would anyone want an Apple watch? Or any watch? Next we can
have Apple Bluetooth-enabled earrings and shoes and belt buckles and
wedding rings and baseball caps and sunglasses and wallets.

I was messing with my iPhone settings this morning. It has a setting that supposedly warns of possible Covid
exposure. Anyone who thinks they\'ve been exposed or have had it can put a warning on their phones. It\'s supposed to warn people nearby.

People should stay at home in their basement. There is precedent.
