That would be a reasonable answer most of the time, but as the topic was sleep tracking I'd disagree. Consensus I've seen seems to be that Apple has better sleep tracking (having used both, I would agree). Even if they don't, one can swap out to use another sleep tracking app. I think you're stuck with what you get out of the box with Garmin. (Though I've not looked at Garmin's app store. Knowing what I do about their SDK, I doubt a 3rd party could write a usable replacement app.)

Oh, I get you. Why today? Why so much? Having traded stocks for many decades, my observation is that sometimes today is the day for something that’s been coming for a while and is an accumulation of reasons.
Or IOW, we all want a “it’s because of this one thing…”, and sometimes it is, but especially in this case it’s probably been coming for a multitude of complex reasons. Doesn’t matter, INTL is down, deal with reality and move in. Knowing why won’t fix your portfolio. :-)

This isn’t one trader buying INTL at a 29% discount. But thanks, Claude(?) for the explainer of the basics of markets, I guess.

The discussion was availability of spare parts, not reliability. And has already been brought up, reliability won't save you from needing parts when someone plows into your rear bumper. Or when suspension parts fail, which they do on every car.

One of my few brushes with fame was when I was in Nevada City, CA for a job interview some twenty years ago. Coming from Seattle, we got there a few days early. Came from the airport, parked and got some coffee, started walking around. Walking down the sidewalk, I see a middle-aged bald guy in a $COLLEGE sweatshirt talking to some folks. Sure enough it is Patrick Stewart, just hanging out. Apparently there was a film festival in town, and he was there to do $SOMETHING I've since forgotten.
I didn't bother him, as much as we both wanted to (he looked busy), what struck me was how casual Sir Patrick Stewart was in his faded sweatshirt talking to some awestruck kid and his mom.

We coincidentally watched that one just last night, The Booby Trap. There's a derelict ship on the view screen reminding the crew that the other crew never figured out a solution to the problem, and there's no indication that the Enterprise crew won't suffer the same fate.
(That one, at least, has Geordi literally saying, "that's impossible", but comes up with a solution. Apologies if that's not the one you're thinking of.)

It lives on while its 90’s cohort Iridium didn’t make it.
Garmin inReach users will be disappointed to hear that: “inReach devices use the Iridium satellite constellation, which forms a mesh with 100% globe coverage.”

About a third took the last buyout offer.

Gotta read the link:
“Eligible employees will receive an email with a link to their Voluntary Exit Offer details within the next few hours.”

Every time there’s a football game? At least that I’m hearing in the case of Spain. No, they don’t throw a switch, but they turn off enough CDNs to effectively turn off the internet.
Again, no personal experience, but have heard enough from folks here to believe it.

I don't see a single TV listed.

Works on latest desktop Safari, macOS 26.7.1 on M5 MBP.

That doesn’t preclude plugging an Apple TV into HDMI1. If it does, then back in the box it goes.

A quick search shows…
I’ve noticed that very few people recommending signage displays as a substitute for a traditional TV ever say, “here’s the one I bought…”
That’s because one will quickly discover that signage displays aren’t very good TVs.

Second time in as many days that I’ve seen someone use that quote without any apparent understanding of the topic at hand nor what they’re copy-pasting.
