During the STAT Breakthrough Summit West, experts discussed how wearable health devices, despite FDA approval, still fall short of being useful in clinical practice. Ida Sim, a primary care physician, cited an example where continuous glucose monitor data from a patient's Apple Watch was inaccessible due to technical barriers and data integration issues. Additionally, primary care doctors often struggle to interpret the extensive data these devices produce, making it difficult to apply in patient care. Consequently, the potential benefits of these devices are not yet fully realized in clinical settings.

Simon Batt's article discusses the severe risks of connecting Windows XP to the internet in 2024, as demonstrated by Eric Parker on YouTube. Parker's experiment revealed that even without browsing, simply connecting a Windows XP virtual machine online makes it extremely vulnerable to malware, due to its outdated security measures. Hackers can easily scan and target these systems, flooding them with viruses almost immediately. Despite disabling the firewall, which admittedly increased the risk, Parker's scan using Malwarebytes identified eight distinct viruses that had infiltrated the system merely by being online. The article strongly suggests avoiding the use of such outdated systems and instead indulging nostalgia through non-operational means like old wallpapers.
