These smart watches are garbage. Even Apple watches have rather short lifetimes
My Garmin is going strong 5 years later, and I’ve got no incentive to upgrade

Honeycomb was a tablet only ui. Google ditched the more effective ux in a fit of unification, that I believe is significantly responsible for killing Android tablets
Time is a flat circle. I remember when honeycomb launched with a bottom navbar, only for Google to delete it later in favor of a (terrible) phone like gui
Almost like using a single giant wiper is a bad idea
Bbbbbbbut it looks cool!
Google has been doing on device stuff since at least the pixel 3
Can we just have both entities annihilate each other? Please? They’re both shit
It’s not a now thing. It’s already here. My thermostat, sprinkler controller, and rice cooker all run Android
And if that public company has stock in the toilet it’s worth fuck all to unload
Federated directories. We’re going back to Yahoo like it’s 1995
And it’s still worse than a picture of a hill in Sonoma
Replace the CEO with an AI. They’re both good at lying and telling people what they want to hear, until they get caught
Can’t wait for them to never roll it out
Alexa and Google home came out nearly a decade ago
I quite like kagis universal summarizer, for example. It let’s me know if a long ass YouTube video is worth watching
So you want Kagi
Kagi generated key points:
- The new Find My Device network on Android was designed with a strong focus on user security and privacy.
- The network uses a crowdsourced approach to locate lost or misplaced devices and belongings, even when they are offline.
- The location data reported by participating Android devices is end-to-end encrypted, ensuring Google cannot access or use the location information.
- The network has “aggregation by default” as a safety feature, requiring multiple nearby devices to detect a Bluetooth tag before reporting its location to the owner.
- The network also has protections to avoid contributing location reports when near the user’s home address.
- Rate limiting and throttling are used to prevent malicious real-time tracking, while still allowing the network to be useful for finding lost items.
- The network is compliant with industry standards for unwanted tracking, triggering alerts on both Android and iOS devices.
- Users have full control over which of their devices participate in the network and how.
- The network design has undergone internal security testing and is part of Android’s vulnerability rewards program.
- Prioritizing user safety and privacy is an ongoing commitment as the team continues to improve the Find My Device protections.
During my most recent job search, the most annoying thing I saw was “resume consultants”
They’d reach out like an interested recruiter, but very quickly get to the sales pitch
Apologies are free and valueless
But you don’t have to go sketchy off brand. You can get Ubiquiti if you want a really good system, or eufy or reolink if you don’t want to muck about with the sysadmin stuff Ubiquiti requires
We seriously need a way to sandbox apps, where they cant see shit outside their sandbox
