Or traveling. I imagine if you wanted to you could position the disc at any point between “on” and “off” by constantly flipping it back and forth.


The Apple Watch Noise app measures loud noises. The Health app on iOS has a section called Environmental Sound Levels that shows the measurements over time on a chart. This of course doesn't help if you can also hear the noises, but it sounds like that is not the case?


We can't hear the noises. Something like the Apple Watch noise monitoring would be great as we could say "see, the decibels haven't gone above x in the last week" but as far as I can see it doesn't give you this info over time


The measurements taken by the watch can be viewed over time in the Health app on iOS. Try image searching for "Environmental Sound Levels" "iOS" "Health" to get an idea of how it looks. e.g. here is a screenshot: https://www.idropnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Apple-H...

It sounds like this iOS app can write noise levels to the Health app too: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/niosh-sound-level-meter/id1096... so maybe that could let you test drive this if you don't already have the watch.


This is great, thanks!

I have a watch and just checked. There is quite granular data there (readings about every 30 seconds)

Nothing jumps out but I will dig through it

Huge thanks for the pointers


Try Decibel Meter Ultra (https://www.decibelmeterultra.com/) if you have an iOS device. It will give you a graph over time and you can leave it running over night. Free version is limited to 2 min duration but has a 7-day free trial.


Great, will check it out - thanks!



> which is arguably worse because not only can you not access your phone backups but your email, calendar, drive, etc. is gone too

Some people use iCloud for email, calendar and storage so for them I imagine losing access to Apple ID would be just as bad.


Yeah, and to stress the point: this is not "can't send vacation pictures to my grandma" bad, this is "might lose my company/my job and my house" bad, as everything else in life treats one's email (and increasingly, app 2FA) as infallible backup.


All the most popular e2e testing frameworks and synthetic testing services will allow you to script interactions like page transitions.

For example here is a WebPageTest article on measuring performance of page transitions:

What are some of the issues?


Can you cite an example of such cherry picking? I’m only aware of counter examples e.g. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherry_picking#:~:text=Cherr....


Literally every study. They will remove a particular earth moment because “it’s not relevant” but adding it in makes their data look like global warming isn’t happening. Or they exclude periods claiming that the data from that period is not good when it goes against their claims.


It is also sometimes called request collapsing.


It's also sometimes called request deduplication


It says "First discovery" e.g. https://i.imgur.com/iagu3WZ.png
