    Apple Watch Update -- July 11, 2026

    Locator: 51145APPLEWATCH. 

    Apple Watch update, link here. 


    Three comments:

    • "Edge AI" is explained, and from my perspective Apple was the first major brand to go all in with Edge AI for security reasons; now almost all others are doing the same for various reasons. In addition, it will cut down on queries that would otherwise go to the LDCs, I assume;
    • Apple Watches account for 90% of all smart watches delivered;
    • the EU will not likely let this pass; the EU does not like Apple (it's American and too successful) and it does not like monopolies (any anything that has 90% of the market would seem to be a monopoly as defined by the EU; one might expect the EU to require Apple to re-brand 50% of their Apple Watch shipments as Android Watches.

    See this post. For unknown reasons, this post is trending right now. This is that post in its entirety and will now be followed here. Originally posted January 24, 2020:

    Maroon Bells Partners: expanding the Bakken Core website.  From the website:
    Our company was formed in 2018, but has been focused on the Bakken since the beginning of the boom in 2011. Our firsthand knowledge of the rock, the people, and the infrastructure that make up this play combined with our passion for the Bakken and over 25 years of engineering experience have produced a team strongly suited and ready to develop a Bakken asset. 
    The team: 
    • J.D. Diamantopoulos: co-founder; 12-year career as a reservoir engineer with ExxonMobil/XTO; seven years specifically dedicated to the Bakken play;
    • Billy Beery, co-founder; 14 years in various petroleum engineering disciplines; XTO's senior drilling engineer, personally overseeing XTO's growth in activity from 2 to 16 rigs during the Bakken boom;
    Maroon Bells? see this site and this wiki site.

    Maroon Bells not yet listed as an operator over at the "well search" site at the NDIC.

    What AI Can Do -- It Never Ends -- July 10, 2026

    Locator: 51143AI. 

    Headline: US files proposed deal with Keystone pipeline owner over 2022 Kansas rupture. When I click on the story, I'm hit with a paywall which I can't cross. So, with that information only, AI provides:

    This speaks volumes about what one can do with AI. 

    On another note, there's another story here but I won't touch it.
