New watch who this.
Took me five years to draw a dick with my weight data.
One day I might even accept being a two phone person.
Never change iOS widgets. Never change.
I wish new hobbies wouldn’t cost about $100 to start. I’m looking at used iPods and some of them are very cheap but need some tinkering…
Leaving Apple Watch behind will be problematic for sure, but holy shit I will not miss my wrist vibrating whenever there’s a notification from an app that I forgot to turn off on the AW. Too old to being easily bothered with access to myself.
Made up my mind. Just paid for a year of Whoop (thanks to Cyber Monday discount I saved about €60) and bought a normal, regular watch. Now I’m gonna be able to track all of my activity, be less dependent on Apple ecosystem and finally rock a watch that could work for my entire life. I’d say that’s a good thing.
I don’t want to but I have to admit - Windows is as buggy/crashy as it was advertised on reddit and such. My MacBook’s uptime is like 7 days and that’s because I updated it a week ago. I’m feeling happy when my Windows machine works a couple days without crash.
Frank Ocean.
I don’t get why Apple Watch doesn’t do the same shit Whoop is doing. They have the same data, but Whoop is like thousand times more helpful. I tries to understand my patterns and gives me actionable advices that - seems like are good. Damn you Apple because I wanted to return that Whoop and I’m not so sure anymore.
Back to my regular tech rambling. Whoop would be much more useful if it could vibrate on call.
I’m not able to actually say anything, speechless.
I can’t thank anyone enough for helping out. Seriously. Thank you.
My mother has liver cancer. We have started a fundraiser to help cover some of the treatment costs. I would be grateful for any shares or donations.
Sorry, not sorry—another iOS vs. Android thing. Basically, because I’ve changed my lifestyle over the past year—losing a lot of weight, gaining muscle, and going to the gym regularly—I find myself using my Apple Watch much more than I did, say, two years ago.
I’ve been testing Whoop, and it’s really nice, but the Apple Watch provides almost the same experience without requiring a subscription. That makes it hard for me to fully move away from the iPhone, because in the long run, the Apple Watch + iPhone combo ends up being more cost-effective.
This is never going to be not funny. Apple Music works great on Android but on the iPhone is just freaking slow.
Because I can, I’m sometimes moving between iPhone and Pixel. Most of the time it’s pixel but there are moments in which I find myself wanting to use iPhone (mostly because of Apple Watch and ability to be notified on my wrist when something REALLY IMPORTANT happens or because our apartment still has some automations based on Homekit).
But what pains me this time - I felt that notification wise I’m missing a lot on iOS. Action buttons in android notifications are golden. Somebody sends me a link? I can open it from notifications without even opening the communicator app. New YouTube video? I can just add it to watch later from notifications.
I find myself more and more saying yes to notifications on Android because I can control them better and I can easily get rid of them if needed (something that never works on iOS because you can click X and mass prune them but some of the notifications are above that X area and they won’t be deleted and I have no idea what the rule is).
That’s another one for you from my OS battles.

I wanted to break myself a bit more from Apple ecosystem with a non-Apple fitness tracker. Can’t wait till it gets here!
