Holy crap the mood tracker has scales now? I thought only the other tracker had scales. Cool.


Fuck right off with over the air updates to my life saving devices. I have enough over the air updates to my regular devices that break things thank you very much. I don’t want my ribs or life to be next.


It still sort of baffles me we haven’t designed a better braking system for the heaviest and most dangerous vehicles on the road. I’m sure it’s not easy but it seems to me like society is taking the “eh, it’s dangerous but a good truck driver will prevent it” stance instead of “the breaks shouldn’t fail”.


Mmm. Thank you. Much better and not running in a weird integrated browser tab.


I stopped auto-updates when the last death happened. Now I’m exploring Lawnchair.


Yeah I’ve been just refusing the prompts and using a standard 2FA code app instead.


Except that Windows routinely breaks my passkeys :) Use it to login once, works great. Try again the next day, “Something went wrong”. Now I can’t use that 2FA; it never starts working again. Then I have extra steps of trying the passkey, having it fail, logging in on another device, removing the passkey, …


I was worried enough about buying a used car in five years, thanks. Nov I have to worry about having the shit infotainment systems that were disappearing on top of having to pay a subscription to release my parking breaks??


Do you disagree with me thinking it’s silly to through around credentials on the internet or just how I communicated it?
I did edit after posting to tone it down some but perhaps not enough?


It’s pretty silly to through around credentials.
Here’s a video of an OLED TV updating in slow motion. The pixels are on in between updates so it really doesn’t matter how fast it’s updating it’s not going to cause headaches or any of the problems that we used to associate with strobing style displays. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=54E3uUEryZM


No, I meant what I said. The article says “hz” and so do other phone manufacturers offering the same feature. It may be marketing wank or technically incorrect but that’s what it’s referred to as.
But, hz of a monitor is not like a car blinker or CRT televisions where it’s off in between the updates. It is on in between the updates, it’s just not the new image. In which case it doesn’t matter how slow your performing the updates because the pixels are just on with a static picture in between the updates.


They might mean down to 1hz like some smart phones do, to save battery.
Ditto. I guess they both just hate this particular accent ¯_(ツ)_/¯
They do look very spacy compared to the other buttons.
