mctoasterson , to technology in Nothing's budget-friendly brand CMF debuts a $69 smartwatch and $49 earbuds

Anyone have any suggestions for a relatively inexpensive smart watch that can be used with GadgetBridge? I don’t need many features besides push notifications, maybe an alarm etc.

AngryDemonoid ,

I use an Amazfit GTR 2e, and it works almost perfectly with gadgetbridge. The only difficulty I have is i’m unable to manually update A-GPS data, so getting a GPS lock can take a while. But I don’t use it a lot, and honestly, the Fitbit Versa I came from wasn’t all that much better.

PineTime checks these boxes for under $30. The caveat being that it’s an open source project without fancy features. Also, the heart rate monitor doesn’t work well on my skin, but it works for some people.

I love my PineTime, but I stopped using it because I wanted sleep tracking.

Sounds good on paper, but I’ll bet good money they slip in some Ashit Pie level bullshit.

That is a crazy price tag. You could buy multiple better scooters for that price. They won’t look as sleek but they’ll be way more functional.

It's still a scooter though.

A non-folding scooter is like a bucket with a hole in the bottom.

megopie , to technology in Bo’s sublime e-scooter of the future is finally ready to buy

I mean, it looks pretty, but not being able to fold it up really is a non-starter. Like, even if you have a secure charging dock like they claim, if you have to go in somewhere where you don’t have a dock for an extended period of time (like an office) it would be way to easy for someone to pick a lock or just bolt cut it, then walk off with it.

Except you can’t. People can deactivate this for each contact in their address book really easily. You can even create your own for each person and have that override theirs on your own phone.

What happened to all the people who used to contribute quality content before?

eee ,

they left (and hopefully some ended up here).

I used to post almost daily (although i wouldn’t classify much of it as “quality”) for the last few years, and less frequently for about a decade before that. I’ve posted exactly 0 times since the app-pocalypse.

same, I left over that and I would like to think my posts were quality, but I did not honestly expect everyone to go.

Gone. Reduced to downvotes.

simple , to technology in Reddit details how their Contributor Program will promote engagement

I’m sure this will end very well and people will make quality content and totally not botfarm and karmawhore everywhere.

They already botfarm and karmawhore everywhere. This is just going to amplify that problem.

I imagine corporations will see gold as a way of promoting their advertising in a cheap way. What a terrible concept for a platform that was struggling anyway.

partial_accumen ,

See quality original content.

Copy original content to a post of your own.

Report original post as SPAM, CSAM, or otherwise abuse.

Profit

Since now that there is a straight up monetary profit motive, would stealing someone else’s original content actually make the thief open to a civil suit? Does that mean you could subpoena Reddit for the thief’s contact info?

SzethFriendOfNimi ,

There’s already a copyright claim regardless of profit. Whether it’s worth the hassle and cost is another matter.

eee ,

people will make quality content and totally not botfarm and karmawhore everywhere

You’re assuming that botfarming and karma whoring isn’t considered “quality”.

I mean, look at this shining beacon of quality: “Reddit, what’s the sexiest sex you’ve ever sexed? [Serious]”
