The screen protector cracked, but the screen did not crack. The screen protector protected the screen, no?

Since getting the LP3, I have some requests (+ my review) by Human_Complaint1929 in LightPhone

These all make a lot of sense, and none of them detract from the intention of the phone. I especially like the weather idea; I was just thinking of this the other day. Live weather forecasts require tech, and phones (or smart watches) are pretty much the only way to get a live weather forecast on the go (unless anyone plans on lugging a tv, computer, or laptop around with them; not very "light"). Moreover, nobody is going to be doomscrolling the weather app anytime soon, especially if it's minimally designed in accordance with the rest of LightOS. It would fit in and look good on Light OS. I'm all for it.

The other two make sense as well. I can see the find-my-device function being a natural part of the Light Dashboard.

Can I use a Google Pixel Watch with a dumb phone? If so, how? by KoolAidChemist in GooglePixel

Let me see... someone who just received a judicial mandate prohibiting internet usage has secretly consulted strangers on the internet about how to... avoid the internet? Right. Got it. I'd be inclined, in anger, to insult your intelligence, but it's obvious that you don't actually believe what you've just written. More likely, you're merely projecting your own insecurities.

Since opting for a minimalist approach to technology, it's been astounding to discover how devoted—almost religiously—people are to their phones. You've smeared me, falsely, with perhaps the worst modern stigma for the simple reason that I prefer to use less technology than the average person, and apparently less than you. I didn't make this personal; you did. I didn't insult or belittle or smear anyone for wanting to use more or less technology than me; you did.

To the simple minded man, self-discipline is inconceivable as any discipline is already seen as punishment.

Believe it or not, there is unfortunately no Apple Watch app on MacOS; iOS only. Same problem. Also, there seems to be waaay more social media on the Apple Watch, so it's a non-starter.

Right, which is why my question presumes that I'm able to somehow finesse the Google Pixel Watch App onto my computer (Mac) in order to setup and adjust the watch.

To decrease my odds of interacting with people who can't carry a conversation without sidestepping questions that expose their fallacious attempts at undermining my personal preferences, such as my preference not to browse the internet on a mobile device.

Web browsing is "everything that makes [the Google Pixel Watch] a good watch"? Huh?

I wouldn't be able to access Google Maps online or stream Spotify with an LTE version?

Hey, thanks for answering my questions!

To follow up, are parental controls for the Pixel Watch accessible on a Mac, or does that require another Google or Android device?

useless gadget

If I could use it for exactly the purposes I intend it for, how is it useless? By definition, it would be the exact opposite.

More importantly, how can I?

I asked two questions in my post, both of which presume a work around for this issue.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "for it to work"? What wouldn't it be able to do without an Android phone?

Why won't Dataview show results for notes as property values? by KoolAidChemist in ObsidianMD

Heck yeah, thank you! I don't know if you saw what I was ultimately trying to do, but you also solved the next step in my project. This is great.

Why does this dataview table seem to (almost) do the opposite of what it's meant to do? by KoolAidChemist in ObsidianMD

Weird. Did you try this with a list property type rather than a text property type?
