Garmin is pretty much gold standard when it comes to sports tracking. Most other brands are a step down, and I imagine a FOSS watch like the bangle.js is a significant step down from Garmin watches WRT sports tracking.

Piped isn’t working for me either anymore. I was using piped.adminforge.de before, but I’ve tried other instances too without any luck. It won’t load play any videos at all. I can search and find stuff without issues, but I can’t play anything.

These watches typically come with charging cables, not a docking style station that you put them in. And keeping devices at a perpetual full charge for expended periods of time is a surefire way to kill the capacity quickly.

I mean, I get a full week from my coros pace 2, with 5-6h of GPS cardio tracking (running) and 24h metrics (steps, stress, sleep, etc.) on a 310mAh battery. It takes a whopping 2h to recharge back to full, I would hate having to manage a tiny extra battery to save those 2h of not wearing my watch.

If all you want from a watch is time and alarms, you’re obviously not even remotely in the demographic that any smartwatch is targeting.

I just wish the autocorrect would work…at the moment there is zero difference when I change how aggressive it is in the settings, and it barely makes any suggestions or corrections to typos.

This was my experience as well, it was just way too inconvenient… Which is the crazy part, because it really shouldn’t be.

It’s crazy just how much of a PITA it is to use the internet when using NoScript

This feels like an advertisement article…single port USB-C PD chargers with 20-30W output in the <$10 range are not at all hard to find already.

The “do not track” is really just you asking them politely not to track you, they are not obligated to stop tracking…more often than not, it is completely ignored and they track you anyway.

What if… we just ran them when people weren’t in the room?

This is already a thing in many hospitals, and has been used extensively even before covid.

This is likely an issue with your SD card…Pi’s eat them up, even the good ones that supposedly can handle it get chewed up pretty quickly. It really sucks that they haven’t transitioned to emmc but insist on using SD cards.

I think the stoned look is just her default look, googles or not…maybe “resting stoner face” is a thing 🤷‍♂️

VW and Volvo both make some pretty bad EV’s IME, they have a ton of software issues and the entire infotainment system is insanely slow and buggy, which is a big problem when thats the main interface to the car. The interior is also very low quality. But these are probably general issues for them though and not strictly their EVs.

I find that DDG is terrible at finding anything regionally specific, probably because I’m not in the US. I always get a shitload of US hits and usually some German hits if I try to specify location…neither are useful to me.

Anyone is allowed to mimic or copy anyone’s style. A style is not something that you can copyright, only the individual works.

Whether it’s a voice actor relying on voice acting to not go broke, or a factory worker relying on menial tasks on a production line to not go broke doesn’t really matter IMO. But pretty much no one bats an eye at the latter.

Replacing an assembly line worker with a more efficient machine creates jobs as the machines need to be manufactured, serviced, designed, and replaced. Jobs are created in shipping and logistics as factories are able to create more product. Meanwhile the costs of goods go down and benefits the whole economy.

Ah, but we don’t yet see the repercussions of this technology. Automation initially removed far more jobs that it created, and the people it replaced mostly couldn’t benefit from this change.

I disagree with it on the arbitrary standard that art is sacred.

That kind of opens a completely different discussion on what should be considered “art” or worthwhile of consumption, but I get your point.

Impersonating my voice? Not really something I have an issue with as such. From the article they are using the voice of the actor to impersonate a fictional character. If someone used my voice to create a fictional character like done here, I probably wouldn’t have an issue with that.

I completely agree, but why would there be a skill-component to the ethicalness of impersonation? Is it equally unethical if a person used a voice-changer? It requires the same amount of skill as the AI.
