Walmart alone is a scary good at this. They have dedicated teams towards facial and item theft recognition. They won’t even report your theft until it reaches grand larceny they will simply tally the theft. Because there is no point in arresting a 20 dollar theft or having a case to prosecute with teams of lawyers.
What an ignorant comment. Just because your Russian doesn’t automatically mean your an insane moron based on where you were born and raised. There’s people from all walks of life in all countries. Not everyone or everything is tied in a black and white box. Plenty of Russians are against war and the current geopolitcal climate.
I’m surprised this series of games isn’t bigger on Lemmy just due to the whole computer, hacking, type aspect of the game.
Bees are such good pollinators that we can’t still decipher how they know how to travel so efficiently.
With all this hysteria going around it seems like the general population has forgotten how we live in the real world and where we came from, how we got here.
Had To scroll way too far to find Cinnamon so here’s back to the top.
Its almost like it can’t forever be going up…
Solar charging isn’t an optional gimmick. Everything else is opinionated mixed with some facts.
Garmin and Apple watches are very different for the core purposes. The best apple watch costs as much as one of the best Garmin models.
The Apple watch lasts roughly 18 hours give or take before charging. Where as the best Garmins last 1 to 2 months with Solar charging. But again different uses and feature sets too.
I’d argue Apple is the bigger cancer here due to battery and hardware cycles, models, skus, as a whole companies footprint goes. Eco friendliness to Garmin no question. This could go deeper but I’ll leave it this brief. Apple’s to Oranges.
Garmin is at the top of the game for health tracking and fitness bar none but if your looking to monitor traffic a different type of smart watch would suit you better.
I loathe saying this but a pixel watch with Gmaps might be your best bet. Someone else could offer an open source option though perhaps.
I’ve had several Garmin Venu’s and GPS devices inside the car. But for specifically health trackers I have yet to find a more comprehensive coverage of overall health data. That’s easily accessible to anyone. I seen you mentioned spot data is what you prefer. A Polar H10 might serve the niche better for heart data. Self hosting options for them.
Sure I’d like it fully open source and more on device functionality rather than APIs and algorithms in the cloud. But pound for pound Garmin still runs the fitness and health tracking sector. There are some newer companies popping up with promising options but the tech and IP just isn’t mainstream yet.
In time we will see, hopefully we keep a solid company around and chop this up to the whole land grab for AI thing.
The green mile. A great movie for those wondering.
Garmin feedback is taken seriously. You likely will get a response if you added contact info.
Their customer service are top notch. I’ve gotten new watches, bands and free shipping to and from for different issues.
This change is no different than any other company on the planet. Land grabbing for AI. It’s a paid tier. None of their free or core feature sets have changed at all.
They haven’t paywalled anything that I have seen. This is a paid tier.
No reason not to still, nothing has changed for users. This is a paid tier. This is wildly overblown as of right now. Every company on the planet is cramming AI into some trash.
For all those clammering to sell and throw away, stick on the shelf, I will keep, buy, or what have you all your Garmin watches so long as they aren’t trashed and are relatively newer models.
Yes I am serious. PM me so we can discuss further if your done with Garmin.
Not true and none of their features or use has changed. Simply don’t get the paid feature. Everything works as it should. This is massively overblown. Everyone’s pushing AI this and that because it’s the hot thing right now.
This is taking it to heart for sure. Nothing wrong with your POV but it’s opinion and their tech has no comparison currently. Literally zero has changed. They added a paid tier and done what every company on the planet is doing. Trying to land grab AI because it’s the latest and greatest.
Gave me a captcha wtf
