    Do NOT apply the WatchOS 5.1 update

    Apple have pulled 5.1 update for WatchOS - however, if you're invited to install, don't. It will brick the watch (has affected a lot of people already).

      I wondered why I couldn't find it!

      thanks for the tip

      They are using "drop" in the record sense, like "Lady Gaga is about to drop her new album".

        in the Netherlands, "drop" is an eventually addictive type of liquorice that tastes of sweat or worse, micturation [actually NH4Cl , formerly used in fireworks]

          Bah, you make "drop" (salmiak) liquorice sound massively less pleasant than it is!

          (It's a taste not for everybody, admittedly, but I quite like it…)
