You never saw an IRC chatroom archive?

That's one of the main draws of socialism and communism for me. Doing shit because you want to do it, not because you have to. Automate everything nobody wants to do.

Years ago I've read a brilliant short story about an American immigrant moving to socialist post-scarcity Australia. I tried finding it again many times, but never could. From what I remember it showed the mental transition really well.

It shouldn't restart the stopwatch when you want to check the time on your watch, or receive a notification. Also, it was fixed in 2021 pr, rebased a year later, and it's still not accepted.

I meant that they aren't synced with the device they originated from. Also, am I misremembering or did they remove the new notification icon?

Isn't the whole point of a heart rate monitor on a watch to take periodic measurements and record them so you can track your BPM during exercise? It works much better if you wear it on the inside of your arm.

A watch isn't going to exactly count the number of steps you did, but it will tell you how active you were on what days and at what time. That can be useful.

For $75 it's janky as hell

It's just bad coding. Half a year ago they released a patch to more than double the battery life. 2 weeks is reasonable, especially when you limit the useless notifications.

My battery life is about 3 days.

Have you updated it this year? 1.13 improved the battery life from 3-5 days to 10+

The stopwatch is only working while it's on the screen and the screen is active. Notifications stay there until you manually discard them. The heart rate sensor is a complete toy since you can only manually trigger it, and it took 2 years for the infinitime devs to read the sensor docs and realise their algorithm is bad. The step counter can only automatically sync, so when it fails to do so for half a day you need to walk around and shake your wrist while keeping you phone and watch screens active. And the list of fails continues beyond that.

On top of that it costs 65€ ($75) when ordering from the European warehouse, and they don't allow you to order from the main one because it would end up cheaper. Don't waste your money unless you need a reason to practice cpp.

Nah, that was Thales. Pythagoras just invented a triangle with a 90° angle.
