I finally replaced my pebble with a Garmin. Pleasantly surprised. I still miss voice response and proper tasker integration, but otherwise it’s a solid smart watch.

Needing a credit card just to use Roku has always been nonsense. I bought a gift card, spent all but $1 of it, and registered with that.

There are devices like the Netgear lm1200 that can do it inline by themselves.
