I have used a CGM for years now, but I don't know all of the models - only a few of them. In my experience most of the time the manufacturer offers some kind of cloud service to store your data (given your cousin is using a device that is capable of transmitting said data) and there are free to use services like Glooko (it's the one I use - there are others) you can connect different devices to store and visualize these data. It helps a lot exploring patterns and finding ways to improve my therapy.

    It's not much, but I would say pretty much everyone who uses some kind of continuous glucose measurement has a more powerful tool provided by the manufacturer or an open source alternative. The feature is pretty basic in Google Health anyways (it just shows the data), but at least it now is usable by anyone and not just those who happen to use the same units as Google. It opens it up to new integrations.

    You can finally change the unit of blood glucose measurements.

    For those not into this matter: There are two units of measurement that can be easily converted into each other (simple multiplication). But previously Google Health was limited to the one more prevalent in the US - now you can switch.

    Victoria Launcher has barely been my home screen for five days, but I’ve already seen eight updates.

    No thanks. I want my launcher to be stable - I don't want to learn a new way of doing things every day. Nothing against new features, improvements and even experiments, but the core needs to be stable.

    The way you say that it could either mean this is something good or something bad. Just searching for the name just brings up the historical figure (which I guess is not the developer). Would you care to explain?

    In the books Morgoth is gone for over a thousand years before any of the events leading to the forging of the rings even start to happen. In the TV series the timeline is compressed, but even the Elves think that Morgoth's reign of terror is a thing of the past.

    I don't think that is something implied by Tolkien. Morgoth is a name given to the Valar Melkor to mark him forever. The name is not banned it is itself a form of ban.

    Sauron is a similar name and he in fact forbids his servants to speak this name as he dislikes it for that reason.

    If the article described it correctly this happens after DNS on the first connection to the target. So for users of PiHole etc. this won't change anything but - unless their service supports this - they won't benefit from it either.
