Totally agree, and still chuckle at the fact that it's an AI summary of a video about how artists are leaving a platform due to AI.

He's the one who ordered all the zoom employees to RTO right? Are we supposed to expect him to let people go to the beach?
That's not useful for me when I want a 6.35mm size though. We need more granularity!
Came here to say this. Companies send refurbished devices out, they usually make it really clear that you should wipe your device and not expect to get data back exactly because once they receive the device and verify its condition within reason, they send a replacement. Nintendo, Apple, Pixel, Samsung have all done it to me.
Pixel is doing this because they can't send someone else a phone with a non-oem part. If they do in the US they take liability if it's a cheap Alibaba knockoff that does something stupid like make the battery explode. As screwed up as the US laws are, it's difficult to fault them for CYA.
Bottom line is, if the phone has a non-oem part they can't vouch for it, so they need to put your phone in the queue to get fixed is how it reads to me.
At the launch a lot of the features like sleep tracking were paywalled behind Fitbit, and you had to use Fitbit instead of Google Fit which I had been using.
After a week of using the Fitbit app I just found it annoying and pushed the social media aspect far too much for my liking. It felt more like a Fitbit than an Android Watch and that's not what I was looking for.
Prior to trying the Pixel I had an LG Watch Sport that I really enjoyed.
The Garmin while it lacks the ability to do things like control smart lights or integrate heavily into phone controls like the Pixel Watch did, its battery life is amazing, the sensors are great, it gets the alerts I need from the phone, and I've actually become very very fond of the gimmicky flashlight that's built in.
I can easily export health and data to CSVs, and move it if I want to.
The full offline map capabilities are also big if I go backpacking.
A Pixel, minor gripes with it. I'm considering a Samsung for my next one though, last non-pixel or Nexus phone I've used was a Samsung Note 2 over a decade ago.
The term AI bothers me with what we currently have.
LLMs are complicated versions of auto complete like you on a phone's keyboard.
Diffusion modules are more interesting but suffer the same limitations.
AI's current iterations are just regurgitation models devoid of any true original thought.
Once we see a true General AI, that will be something to champion.
It still burns me that a McKinsey shrill runs it now.
Garmin watches are semi-smart and have great sensors. My Epix 2 Sapphire runs for 11 days on a charge as well.
Tried a Pixel, returned it for refund. Don't use iPhone or Samsung phone so their bespoke software wouldn't work for me.
Six digits, that's old school.
Did you notice the US President from 16 to 20?
Even after felony convictions, there is no accountability or consequences.
Have you seen the US Supreme Court?
Don't tell me a government has any accountability when minds are twisted by misinformation engines like Fox & Friends.
Not that a company is any better, yet alone google.
And they say Not a Cult....
