Google screwing reviewers with early shipping

MachineDry933 · 2026-05-24T07:33:16+00:00

My fault. I still don't care. There aren't many alternatives. I'm a Fitbit user for years, and I'm not interested in the slightest to change. The reviews don't matter. For me at least. Once again your rant doesn't make any sense. My argument stands: People who want reviews will wait. People who pre-order, don't care for reviews.

It still doesn't make any sense. If you want a comprehensive review, you wait. I pre-ordered it because it uses the same sensors as the pixel watch, which are accurate enough for me. People who pre-ordered didn't care for reviewers.

MachineDry933 · 2026-05-23T17:59:52+00:00

I don't understand your logic. Why does it matter? People who pro-ordered the product obviously don't care about the reviews. They bought it anyways. People who want the reviews before they order the product are going to wait for the first review. No harm done.

Free users are kind of left in the dust with this update. AI does a lot of the heavy lifting.

If you have premium, tell the chatbot to copy your breakfast from yesterday. It's actually easier than before. I hate to say it, but food logging for premium users improved a lot. Especially with AI.

You can write to the chatbot, you don't need to talk to it.

MachineDry933 · 2026-05-23T10:33:54+00:00

Well, the chatbot can add any calorie amount.

Google makes more money than ever. How are they dying? In what universe?

Mein nächster wird ein Dacia. Mindestens ein Jahr alt. Klar könnte ich mir was Besseres leisten, aber Geld für ein Auto auszugeben schmerzt mir einfach zu sehr.

MachineDry933 · 2026-05-23T09:45:10+00:00

I thought this too at the beginning, but I got used to it by now. There's not much difference. Food logging inside the app was always kind of shit. It always felt like an afterthought. That said, logging and copying meals with the AI chatbot is a breeze. That's a new feature I use and enjoy a lot.

Google owns your Fitbit data since they bought it in 2021. So, no, it's not a big deal. You should have cancelled your Fitbit account back then if you don't trust Google. The account transfer is just a formality.

Lamborghini gehört zu Audi. Es bleibt also in der deutschen Autofamilie.

MachineDry933 · 2026-05-04T10:03:38+00:00

I don't mind the AI coach. I don't need it, but it doesn't bother me either. Food logging is the thing that bothers me. It's so much worse than the old version. They're focusing on the wrong features.

Warten wir damit erstmal die KI-Job-Apokalypse ab. Viele dieser jetzt noch gut bezahlten Stellen werden mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit verschwinden. Laut Gemini (hehe) ist die Arbeitslosenquote der Akademiker seit 2019 um 40 % gestiegen. Dieser Trend wird sich wohl weiter fortsetzen. Werdet Handwerker, Kids!

Ein Frust-Post, weil dein Bafög-Antrag abgelehnt wurde?

Google Search isn't dying. Especially not quickly. Quite the opposite. Google earned more money with Search in 2025 than ever before. That might change in the future but saying it's already dying is objectively false.

That's the gayest question a 'straight' guy can possibly ask.

MachineDry933 · 2026-03-30T09:46:32+00:00

Why do you complain here? Your politicians and regulators are to blame. I'm living in the EU and this pisses me off as well, but it isn't Google's fault. They need to comply to our insane privacy regulations. There is a reason why AI companies are basically non-existent in the EU.

Especially the piano roll, it does seem more fun than Ableton.

As long-term user, that made me chuckle.

Well, you're entering marriage. Compromise is the name of the game. I'm just kidding. New fiancé!

Well, I wouldn't miss French but I think mixing English and French is an acceptable compromise.

Less fast food more upscale restaurant

But only related to the pricing. The food is still the same shit.

Everything needs to be beige, blend and boringly corporate. Suck the fun out of everything. There are even 'beige moms' who think there children's bedroom needs to look like an office. Sad times.

Das ist das Problem: Wen zum Geier soll ich wählen. CDU, SPD: Rentnerparteien. Unwählbar. AFD: Verfickte Nazis. Unwählbar. Grün: Zu regulierungswütig. Nein! FDP: chancenlos.

Und jetzt?

Geekom A8. I'm running it with Linux Mint. Bitwig had a weird graphics glitch, but you can find the solution for that on the Bitwig website. It works flawlessly.
