I have a video of Natalie indoors at 240 FPS. Not too bad.

Those portable charges, for me, are lifesavers. You can charge an iPhone 3-4 times on one charge, but they're heavy and bulky, however they have gotten smaller and lighter: http://www.bhphotovide

Apple watch app.

While the GPS app is pretty cool I worry about battery life. Keeping the GPS on all the time along with the display may run down the battery.

The GPS is in your phone at least.

I'd like to know how useful the Apple Watch is without your iPhone.  If you aren't carrying your iPhone with you, what can you do with it?  Or do you have to have your iPhone with you at all times?

I think it's pretty limited w/o the iPhone. There's definitely no cell radio in it, no gps. Probably no wifi. Only the LE Bluetooth.

Yes. You are right.

The Samsung watches all require you to own a Samsung phone. They won't even boot up without the phone. I imagine the iWatch will be the same.

But I think the end game is to get it all in there one day.

Today I learned you can append to a video by dropping another one into Quicktime. Very useful especially if you're too lazy to go into iMovie or Final Cut Pro or whatever monster video editing app. I need take time and find out all the little Quicktime tricks I'm missing, jeez.

Apple Granted 25 Patents Today Covering Camera Stabilization, Wi-Fi + Cellular MacBook and an Audio User Interface

Quote:

Apple Granted Patent for a Cellular MacBook

Apple has been granted a patent today for their invention relating to cavity antennas for the iPhone and future MacBooks designed for cellular telephone bands. There have been many patents on this possible future product and you could review them in our Cellular MacBook archive.

Whether the idea is to design a MacBook with cellular data capabilities like the iPad Wi-Fi + Cellular offers today or to go beyond that to offering a telephone application, as the patent suggests, is unknown at this time.

Cool Mac app to unlock MacBook/iMac via Touch ID, some technical issues going on now, but when it's fixed should be a nifty little nice to have.

Why?

Stuff like this makes no sense.

Yeah, read more of the description - you have to unlock your phone to go into an app, unlock that to unlock laptop/desktop. I thought there would be fewer steps, like straight from the control center but that's locked down I think.

      Garmin R50 Launch Monitor

      By iacas ·

      You can pre-order an R50 here for pretty rapid shipping (these are back-ordered almost everywhere): https://www.playbetter.com/products/garmin-approach-r50-golf-launch-monitor-simulator?ghref=2301%3A700794. This is an affiliate purchase, and I'm willing to kick back lifetime ad-free Supporter membership here on TST or a 90-minute GEARS session for the cost of a regular member lesson (about 1/3 the cost). Also, I'll record a video myself soon when I get an R50.

      Day 58 - 2024-11-27 Some quick 90-yard shots on a particular hole… before a lesson and testing out multiple Foresight Launch Monitors on GSPro.

      Day 209 (27 Nov 24) - Easy session with the LW - short pitches replicating greens side up and downs. Finished up with the 7i and hard foam balls - making 1/2 to 3/4 swings with deliberately slowed tempo…from varied lies.

      Best Budget Golf Ball

      By NHpro ·

      Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.
