With products like these you’re paying for convenience

I like the product, but Interesting that they’re selling access to retro games. Seems risky.

I have a Garmin venu 3, it’s positioned as the most smart watch / lifestyle focused of the Garmin lineup. I like it for measuring sleep, body battery, steps, playing golf, and reading notifications without pulling out my phone. The gentle reminders to get steps in for the day, weekly active minutes, and sleep quality have genuinely improved my health.

That said it annoys me that they offer no OS or feature upgrades throughout the life of the watch. They do some bug fixes but that’s it.

Interestingly, focus states are used in accessibility. So while this code isn’t to cure cancer, it likely does improve the lives of those with different needs.

How could you enforce a ban on any kind of user data and how could such a compensation system even work?

I’m so tempted to upgrade but I know I’m going to want a Steam Deck 2 in a couple years. Instead of thinking about it as the LCD vs the OLED model I need to think of it as choosing between the LCD vs the SD2. It’s the only way to stop myself.

What’s weird is Valve has been so good about repairability. Can’t help but think there’s a solid reason for the change.

Someone in that thread posted a guide for getting it working on Linux and Windows without being online.

All these laws seem inconsistently enforced and extremely vague. Imagine every website having to respond to a dozen investigations from countries around the world. Nothing would ever improve.

When forced to make a choice between power or their principles, Reddit moderators are overwhelmingly choosing to abandon the latter.
