Tailwind is my go-to these days

The same reason you don’t carry a camera, a music player, a phone, etc as separate devices in your pocket. Because it’s wildly inconvenient and super frustrating to swap between them. For diabetics in this case, you generally have two separate companies making the pump and the glucose monitor. So at that point you are carrying a phone around, a monitor for your glucose levels, and a controller for your pump. That’s three devices that you need to keep charged and on your person at all times. Not to mention they are generally not slim and sleek and easy to pocket.
The ability to swap between these from a single device and the mental offload that brings can’t be overstated.
That being said, people that use medical services on their phones should not do OS upgrades until they are notified by their makers to be verified and working and should be heavily tested before any updates go out.
They probably still will, as Omaha and Lincoln are the two major cities in Nebraska that are both left leaning.
Minus ad breaks, I missed this aspect of content consumption. Choosing to watch a random episode of a random show just doesn’t happen and I missed being able to just “see what’s on”. I spent a fair amount of time setting up random “channels” I can tune into that play random episodes from tv shows on my media server and it’s great.
This is what I recently did with my grandparents.

We thought their little old dog was ready to go and didn't like to see her suffering.
Oh!
Well that just sent me down a rabbit hole.
My first foray into PWAs was this year but it was a short lived endeavor when I found out I had no hopes of feature parity across devices for core functionality and decided to switch to React Native instead. I didn’t know android did that with PWAs.
Thanks for the explanation.
which does this by generating an APK on google servers and installing it
I’m sorry but that not at all how PWAs work at all. PWAs are just websites. There is no APK. At its core it is a bookmark to a website without the browser UI.
Chrome definitely offers a lot more APIs than other browsers to allow a website to interface with a phone a lot better. Often outside of the standards the web has set. That can make browsers that follow the standards feel behind (Firefox) and really emphasizes browsers that purposely hinder their browser to incentivize native apps (IOS Safari).
You can set up websites to run as standalone apps by adding them to your Home Screen from the browser.
How native an experience you will get with that is dependent on the developer and the work they put in when it comes to caching, implementation of web workers, push notifications, meta data, etc.
The Nvidia shield is the android tv with google play services. It would be your drop in replacement for the Panasonic interface you are currently using.
I mean I definitely travel with more than one, but it’s nice knowing that I don’t have to worry about forgetting to pack a specific charger for that one specific thing and only realizing it when it’s too late.
Your monitor might not be supplying your laptop with power, but that doesn’t mean it can’t do it. If it can output to a display, then it is a thunderbolt port and can definitely charge it.

Technically that’s already the law. But freight lines don’t care because the law isn’t enforced
