Solar charging isn’t an optional gimmick. Everything else is opinionated mixed with some facts.

Garmin and Apple watches are very different for the core purposes. The best apple watch costs as much as one of the best Garmin models.

The Apple watch lasts roughly 18 hours give or take before charging. Where as the best Garmins last 1 to 2 months with Solar charging. But again different uses and feature sets too.

I’d argue Apple is the bigger cancer here due to battery and hardware cycles, models, skus, as a whole companies footprint goes. Eco friendliness to Garmin no question. This could go deeper but I’ll leave it this brief. Apple’s to Oranges.

Garmin is at the top of the game for health tracking and fitness bar none but if your looking to monitor traffic a different type of smart watch would suit you better.

I loathe saying this but a pixel watch with Gmaps might be your best bet. Someone else could offer an open source option though perhaps.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Garmin adds AI and a subscription tier to its app⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
I’ve had several Garmin Venu’s and GPS devices inside the car. But for specifically health trackers I have yet to find a more comprehensive coverage of overall health data. That’s easily accessible to anyone.

Sure I’d like it fully open source and more on device functionality rather than APIs and algorithms in the cloud. But pound for pound Garmin still runs the fitness and health tracking sector. There are some newer companies popping up with promising options but the tech and IP just isn’t mainstream yet.

In time we will see, hopefully we keep a solid company around and chop this up to the whole land grab for AI thing.

The green mile. A great movie for those wondering.

Garmin feedback is taken seriously. You likely will get a response if you added contact info.

Their customer service are top notch. I’ve gotten new watches, bands and free shipping to and from for different issues.

This change is no different than any other company on the planet. Land grabbing for AI. It’s a paid tier. None of their free or core feature sets have changed at all.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Garmin adds AI and a subscription tier to its app⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
They haven’t paywalled anything that I have seen. This is a paid tier.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Garmin adds AI and a subscription tier to its app⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
No reason not to still, nothing has changed for users. This is a paid tier. This is wildly overblown as of right now. Every company on the planet is cramming AI into some trash.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Garmin adds AI and a subscription tier to its app⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
For all those clammering to sell and throw away, stick on the shelf, I will keep, buy, or what have you all your Garmin watches so long as they aren’t trashed and are relatively newer models.

Yes I am serious. PM me so we can discuss further if your done with Garmin.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Garmin adds AI and a subscription tier to its app⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Not true. Simply don’t get the paid feature. Everything works as it should. This is massively overblown. Everyone’s pushing AI this and that because it’s the hot thing right now.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Garmin adds AI and a subscription tier to its app⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
This is taking it to heart for sure. Nothing wrong with your POV but it’s opinion and their tech has no comoarison currently.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Garmin adds AI and a subscription tier to its app⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Don’t worry. Nothing compares to their battery life and feature set for health data. They are a stand up company anytime I ever needed support.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Garmin adds AI and a subscription tier to its app⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Months of battery on their new models and last gen models.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Garmin adds AI and a subscription tier to its app⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
I’ve had and seen several last for years with daily use and never had an issue. Their support has been top notch anytime I had an issue I’ve gotten a new watch or several bands free of charge. They even paid for the return shipping of my old device.

Do you still get the historic health data overtime? Similar to the connect app. So your not losing any usuability?

Compiling medical documents into one, any thing of that sort, summarizing, compiling, coding issues, it saves a wild amounts of time compiling lab results that a human could do but it would take multitudes longer.

Definitely needs to be cross referenced and fact checked as the image processing or general response aren’t always perfect. It’ll get you 80 to 90 percent of the way there. For me it falls under the solve 20 percent of the problem gets you 80 percent to your goal. It needs a shitload more refinement. It’s a start, and it hasn’t been a straight progress path as nothing is.

More weather events. Storms are worse, what used to be the storm of a few years now seems to come every few months.

Fuck no they don’t sound good as regular headphones. They leak raw sound it. I’ve tried many major brands and the top devices. Plugins to bluetooth and more all best brands and models. It was thousands but worth it. I learned a lot about technology along the way.

USPS isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. I know multiple regional managers and local district managers as well as post masters. It’s a very tough demanding and long job.

A single delivery driver can deliver 630am till 1030pm and still not have all the mail out. While head quarters will deny adding drivers to routes or changing anything to ease the loads.

Its gut wrenching. No amount of lawsuit money could give true justice. Lives were taken. You can’t give those back.

Change is the only positive outcome, and money to the families sure. But to prevent that horrible atrocity and to give power back to the people. Where they aren’t in fear to go home for fear of losing their jobs or what ever the punishment was.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brave CEO rants about "lefties," "glowies," George Soros⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
The thing I’ve started to notice is the further you stray away from a big box products and into micro custom solutions there is always trade-offs. So far as being unique and the hassle that comes with it maintenance.

The more hands off you are big corpo and I agree they aren’t your friends, the more you have to maintain the software or setup personally. Or trust the person or people doing it all day everyday and never let up.

I trust other people mostly, who’s job it is to do these things all day everyday. Having 3rd parties to audit them, than I could be able to, or would want to, consistently maintain software at the standard it requires with the fast changing landscape we have today.

While you gain more features to some degree, you lose in others like security against vulnerabilities and sheer eyes and minds on the code.

Fuck their CEO if he is off the wall. Focus on the goal of privacy and the tool you need, the rest is fluff. Use what you need first then want.

Turn it all off and it’s no more in your face. The browser itself functions great when configured according to your needs.

Fuck their CEO though. Focus on the product. It works and consistently ranks as one of the highest orivacy based browser according to the EFF and multiple non profit sources.

I know many local bee keepers and it’s depressing as hell when the colonies collapse for no real reason. They steadily have been in decline for years cutting in half then half again. Bouncing back is rare. It’s very stressful and turbulent.
