How is the Android compatibility of Apple Airpods? I remember reading the latest one is now certified as a hearing aid.

Loo-wun-tee?

Not after they have been acquired by analytics company Branch

What a wild ride

It is grabbing stereotypes and cliches as fact and spewing that out. AI is the death to nuance and critical thinking ☠️

• No Such Thing As A Fish - amazing facts by hilarious hosts
• Let’s Learn Everything - fascinating, hilarious and great chemistry between hosts
• Dungeons and Daddies (not a BDSM podcast) - stunning story with some actual RPG play
• Ologies - even the topics I felt would be boring were fascinating (like Ursinology)

How long before it requires a subscription?

I’ve never heard of that before. It looks awesome and I’m going to look into it!

Download songs and playlists from your Spotify, Deezer or Amazon Music accounts for phone-free listening.

So it seems it is specifically those services I found more info here

• Can read messages. On Android can reply with canned responses set up in the Connect app
• GPS tracking during workouts without having to have phone within range, has heart rate, sleep tracking and more
• Instinct can control media (play/pause/skip) when phone is in range, though the Forerunner music can store music to play via Bluetooth headphones
• No LTE/eSIM support on any of them that I know of
• Best feature for me by far is the time is always visible and in fact is even more visible in direct sunlight

Garmin Instinct 2 Solar gives me 31 days on a full charge if it doesn’t get any sunlight. It is smart enough to vibrate me awake without waking my partner and receive notifications, no matter what Android/iOS phone I use.

What were your main gripes with the Pixel watch?

The joke in my brain was that Nitro is fast tracking the enshittification of discord

Ironic that traditionally Nitro makes things happen faster, probably in this case as well

Let me know what you think about it. I also loaded the swipe gesture pack and it is super responsive

VRAM?

I sideloaded HeliBoard on Android via F-Droid and the predictive text is coming along nicely the more I type.

No, only EU

The ability to sideload apps looking real important right about now

That’s very Roku of them

Element.io apparently. I’ve never heard of it before
