Aaaaand... still down a day and a half later. Moved to another provider yesterday but was curious and checked back. No acknowledgement of the issue, no status update, no blog post, no twitter post.
In early 80s when I was a wee nerd in college a gentleman named Ray who owned Laboratory Microsystems was nice enough to give a poor college kid a copy of his excellent Forth implementation for the then-nascent IBM PC.
I breadboarded a little EPROM programmer (driven by a parallel printer port with the programming code done in Forth because I couldn't afford a real one). Then breadboarded implemented a little Z80 system with a bunch of general purpose I/O and a Forth "OS" in EPROM.
Used that little setup as the basis for a number of projects, including a home alarm system with phone-based control plus voice synthesis phone-based alert calling (which a couple silicon valley VCs were gracious enough to take a meeting about).
Forth gave me wings. Despite it's reputation as a "write-only language". Good times.
Saw your link, did your test and here's my feedback.
No "share" or "download" button in the app? Sure, "apps are cool" and all that - but what about folks who want to archive or share their health data? AFAIK literally no provision to share all those nifty biomarkers with my doctor (except many, many screenshots)?
Nowhere in the "how to get blood test" email instructions does it bother to mention a urine sample will also be needed. Kinda useful to know if you should not pee right before heading to the lab.
A few comments claim the sensors can be triggers by non-smoking events such as hairspray, nail polish remover, perfume...
If that is accurate it seems to me one could exploit that sensor flaw by purposefully triggering a false positives with some benign action - and video record doing so - perhaps a couple of times.
Then if and when smoking is alleged, obtain a log of the alleged event times, then provide video evidence that debunks at least one alleged smoking event.
A relatively small number of activists could probably create a viral nightmare for Hyatt and anyone else implementing this system.
Yet more glossy 'form over function' nonsense from Apple in my opinion. Was hoping '26 would be the release that tackled their massive technical debt around broken/reduced functionality. I did see a Reddit post that summarized it nicely, a screenshot of a Youtube video where the play button overlaps the name so it reads Liquid*ass
If you decide to move your domains from Godaddy, and if your DNS is hosted there too, and if you have enough DNS records to not want to recreate them, there's an undocumented way to export the nameserver records from Godaddy to another DNS provider such as Zerigo. In a nutshell (1) upgrade to Godaddy Premium DNS ($35 but refundable within 5 days) (2) Export each domain's DNS settings (3) Cancel Godaddy Premium DNS. Now you can quickly import your DNS settings at your new registrar or DNS host if they handle importing of bind files. Not everyone imports nicely, but Zerigo worked for me.
