By locking their products "in", they're also locking third parties "out". How on earth would they be able to "lock-in" the Apple Watch to the iPhone while at the same time NOT "locking-out" third parties?

It's the same thing.

> This is awful. It's cutting out any money going to the news agencies that go out there and write news. If they didn't exist, Kagi wouldn't work.

Why would Kagi stop working if news didn't exist? Kagi is a search engine first and foremost, Kagi News is not a money making product of theirs. Kagi would still be making money with their search engine.

Also, this should entice news writers to write better news. The main reason people use products such as this is that they are sick and tired of going to news sites only to have to power through filler material to get the 10% that actually matters...

It automatically marks stuff you've seen - it's just a visual cue. Similar to how search engines (like Google) show visited links with a different color.

I think keeping them on the page instead of automatically hiding them makes more sense for a product that's trying to update their news feed once per day. You feel more in control, as if it's not a stream of never-ending stories, but rather a fixed amount of stories that you can realistically power through. Seeing all items checked sort-of supports this philosophy.

I don't find it too much. For $10 I get a search engine better than all the others, I get access to many AI models via Kagi Assistant and Kagi Translate.

While I understand different people find value in different things, dismissing Kagi generally as "too expensive" is ignorant IMO.

I think it also depends what you use it for. I use both their search and their AI models for software development and it saves me precious time when looking for information - in a way it pays for itself.

That's not how the economy works...

Been using React for many years, yet I have never came across this one. Pretty interesting, thanks!

Try turning off sleep schedule and automatic sleep focus on/off. AFAIK sleep tracking uses sleep focus to determine if you try to sleep or not, it gives off false positives a lot. For example I was watching a movie, sleep focus turned on automatically at 9pm (due to my sleep schedule being set to start then), movie was boring, I had a low HR and the watch thought I was asleep. Managing sleep focus manually made the measurements pretty much spotless as I turn it on whenever I lay down to sleep and turn it off as soon as I wake up.

Exactly. Them releasing a new model every year with small, incremental updates is not for people to upgrade from the latest model (although it is obvious Apple tries to frame the newer models as large upgrades, they haven’t been that for the past 5 or so years), but rather for people who have been wanting to upgrade for a while from their 3-4-5 year old iPhones, and whenever they do they get the latest and greatest. Would the new models feel bigger upgrades if Apple only released one every 2-3 year? Sure. Would that be better for the average consumer looking to upgrade from whatever iPhone they have? Not sure. Incremental updates are nice IMO, stop caring about them if your iPhone is less than 3 year old…

With iOS 17 I started experiencing something similar. Whenever I use Control Center to decrease volume to zero, two out of ten times or so it moves it back to 15-20% (seems random). I have no idea if an app running in the background is causing this, or the OS, but is very annoying...
