Getting an HRV reading on your Apple Watch is as easy as taking a few deep breaths.

With watchOS 4, Apple introduced a number of new heart rate metrics for the Apple Watch to track, including one called the HRV (Heart Rate Variability) average.

In short, tracking your HRV allows you to learn more about your body’s autonomic nervous system — these are your internal flight/flight and rest/digest triggers, which help manage your stress throughout the day. You can learn more about why it’s an interesting measurement in a deep dive I did on the subject for iMore, but what about tracking it on your Apple Watch? It’s not quite as straightforward as opening the Heart Rate app (though it is pretty simple once you know where to go).

Here are all the Arcade Archives available on the Nintendo Switch.

One of the things that makes the Nintendo Switch more and more appealing as time goes on is the consistently growing catalog of Arcade Archives titles. Just as the name might suggest, the Arcade Archives games make classic titles available to Switch users. If you want to take a trip down a video game memory lane, this is a great way to do it without breaking the bank. Thus far all titles released have cost a paltry eight dollars to buy. That’s less than they originally cost when they were released and for some of these titles, far less than you would pay on eBay to get an original copy.

If you’re looking to see if some of your favorite titles are in the Arcade Archives, here is a list of all currently available titles.

Using the internet is becoming increasingly risky, and many people aren’t taking the precautions necessary to protect their data and ultimately themselves. Using a VPN to protect yourself is never a bad idea, but free services are often unreliable, slow, and unsafe.

What you need is an affordable VPN service with a proven track record to keep your data private while you browse the internet. You have several devices, so you need it to work on multiple platforms, and you need servers close to you so you don’t suffer from slow speeds.

Right now, iMore Digital Offers has a sale on a lifetime subscription to the award-winning VPN Unlimited. While typically offered for a one-time payment of $39.99, use coupon code GETSAFE at checkout and save an additional 20% — that brings the final price down to just $31.99!
