Sometimes things are just magic.

I got on an airplane this morning and soon learned my old AirPods were on their last legs. At 30,000 feet, I ordered a new pair and they’re going to be waiting for me at the hotel front desk in a couple of hours.

Meanwhile my flight lands in about 45 minutes.

Crazy.

If I was on Artemis I'd spend the 40 minute radio blackout rigging all the clocks, logs, instrumentts etc to show that 6 hours had passed, then refuse to comment on what I'd seen on the far side.
This is probably why I'm not allowed on the Artemis.

Today it's that none of the continuation APIs support it.

Do I trust this computer?, my iPhone asks me for what has to be the thousandth time using the same computer logged into the same Apple ID. Enter your passcode, it demands once again, reflecting the hardware, software, and services working together in a way only Apple can deliver.
