Aw 😕

Seems cool! What are the apps called?

I was interested in the Pine64 for its very low price, i mean, even if I don’t like it, i didn’t spend much on it.

But then… Why would i pay for a device that gives me more notifications??

My phone has no notification sound, not even vibration, I hate being distracted while I am in the middle of something!!

I want less notifications, not more!!

What Garmin are you using?

I could look into a watch that needs to be recharged never every few weeks.

I was also interested in glucose monitoring, but the Samsung watch7 only gives an estimate.

The technology is still way behind.

But then, why not get an external portable monitor connected to the smartphone?

Well, i guess so.

By that logic, an external, portable screen connected to the smartphone is even more functionality!

What do you mean by “weather center”?

I guess that is what I am doing: searching for a use case, but the smartphone remains undefeated!

The only use case that I can find is to use it as a backup laptop: in the event I lose or break the laptop, i could get by with a tablet.

Although i could also get by with the smartphone 🤔

Problem is, smartwatches don’t even track right. The tracking features are symbolic at best, and vary wildly between manufacturers!

This makes no sense.

There is a reason both us are on Lemmy, but It still doesn’t make sense to compare software to hardware.

Its not about opinions. I am asking actively: WHY? why do you use a tablet or smartwatch?

What stava things?

I’ve never used stava, but I do have a bike

Makes sense! In that context, the missing functionality work in its favour:

• kid won’t install apps that steal data and money, or games
• small screen means he won’t be using it 24/7 and develop screen addiction

And he can’t lose it as easily.

In this day and age people forget their phones?

I refuse to believe it.

But you can do a lot less stuff, and in very uncomfortable way!!

Syncthing full allocation also offers conflict resolution 🤷‍♂️🤔

How is this any different from having syncthing application?

Unthinkable. He lives and breathes McDonald’s
