Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNET My Apple Watch Ultra 2 is, as of today, 626 days old, and apart from charging, it has been on my wrist pretty much continuously. It's accompanied me on many an adventure, been in several countries, found itself deep inside loads of car engine bays, been covered in dirt and mud, and it still looks like new. Regular readers will have seen it in countless photos here on ZDNET. But the other day, something broke, and while it wasn't serious, it could have been really bad.

ZDNET's key takeaways This Type-C to Magsafe 3 Converter is available for around $15. It turns any USB-C cable into a MagSafe 3 cable, with the same charging speeds and same magnetic breakaway. It's far cheaper than buying a replacement cable from Apple. I think Apple's MagSafe charging system for its MacBook line is a fantastic idea. The breakaway magnetic connector not only makes attaching the cable to the MacBook a snap -- literally.

ZDNET's key takeaways The magnetic USB-C connector now supports a 180-degree swivel, and it's only $12 at Amazon. It can pump out as much as 240W of power. I just wish it was suitable for data transferring or powering monitors. These handy 240W USB-C magnetic adapters are on sale for just $12 (with the added coupon) for one on Amazon. A hill I'm always willing to fight on -- and maybe even die on -- is that the magnetic breakaway USB-C connector is one of the best USB accessories out there.

Really odd that if a dispensing optician at @Specsavers tweaks your prescription, you have to make a request to get your personal information from the company to find out about the tweaked prescription because the staff say they can't tell you because of GDPR.

We're moments away from the birth of "woke math" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Excuse me, Apple, why is the calculator wrong? When you key in 50 + 50 and hit the equals key, it’ll give you 100. Multiply that by 2 and you get 200. That’s correct. But type in 50 + 50 * 2 and it spits out 150. What gives? https://t.co/NCXDLRSy8c
