Simple solution...stop using health trackers or anthing that requires an app. Be brave, be bold and realistic. Does this crap really improve your little wage slave life. Just like Nancy Reagan "Just say no" betas
What? The technology is not the problem. The devices are great in general and can help a lot of people. I don't get this kind of thought process: "This tech doesn't help me therefore it is useless for everyone you are just dumb for using it!". For people with ADHD and other neurodivergence aspects this kind of device help plenty, and there's plenty of other use cases out there aside of those.
The tech can provide a fully private and good service, but we need to make sure that companies cannot abuse their power which clearly right now it is an issue in most cases.
OP, check the pebble devices, they are bringing them back and they have always proven to be very good for any of us that used them. Now the devices are completely opensourced and even when the company went down all devices kept working. They are probably one of the few that can actually be trusted.
I wanted something that reminds me every time I have been sedentary for too long by vibrating so I can get up and move. I often get lost in my research and I don’t want it to affect my health. There are other ways to deal with this yes.
Yeah I don’t understand why people buy this crap. I’m pretty sure people can organise an exercise routine and get fit without the help of a data tracker and collector.
It’s like all the Amazon and Google bullshit people put in their house for a bit of convenience.
There is a ton of information that smart watches can tell you, I don't think you fully understand the scope. I have a Huawei one.
