I popped into an Apple Store (Covent Garden) recently and directly asked (as I want the heart rate monitor Apple has)... and the assistant's response was that you need an iPhone to set up the watch initially, and that same iPhone must be used periodically for updates (which ruled out using one in-store to set it up, apparently the watch is paired to an iPhone?). I trusted what the Apple person told me.
But you need an iPhone to set one up. It's a weird vestigial requirement at this point, and I suspect it's more about cell carrier limitations than Apple's preferences.
I have used Infuse for years. I just use a basic NAS with a torrent client and a watch folder. I have pretty fast broadband too, so all together it’s a really nice experience. Plus the devices I’m usually watching from are an iPad, Mac or Apple TV anyway, so it works super nicely for me. I’ve never really understood the appeal of Plex to be honest.
This is sad but unsurprising. Microsoft did so well purchasing Xamarin and then systematically ripped it apart and didn’t bother to put any effort behind VS Mac. Then it did early this year and then just gave up.
Ah then the perspective makes more sense. German privacy is something different.
However it tends to be individual privacy. A grainy picture of a pool processed without judgement by an algorithm feels a lot like panorama rights to me. The software sees the same thing I can see on Google Maps.
Checking in on competitors is one thing, monitoring their every move seems borderline obsessive to the point you're not focusing on your own product roadmap.
I wouldn't want Google alerts about competition. That feels like paranoia.

Just as with many other jobs and roles, this might not be what many (or even most) people would want to do, but having somebody (even if the kind of person who would be a good fit for it is rare) do it would still be a good thing for organisation as a whole.
