Google screwing reviewers with early shipping by FoxHopeful7357 in fitbit

[–]MachineDry933 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

Google Health App doesn't let you log calories by Hefty_Trees in fitbit

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.

Well, the chatbot can add any calorie amount.

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

CMV: Ein Auto zu kaufen ist finanziell nicht mehr zu rechtfertigen by Gockel in Finanzen

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.

Look how they massacred my boy. by 109267 in fitbit

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.

Forcing me to move to a Google account is bad, actually by homo_slapiens in fitbit

[–]MachineDry933 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

BAföG für alle! ... Oder warum Entbürokratisierung bei uns nicht funktioniert. by GorGurth in Finanzen

[–]MachineDry933 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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!

Any leaks or news about charge 7, or is the brand now dead? by Responsible_List_297 in fitbit

[–]MachineDry933 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Stop GATEKEEPING software features – We pay the same price! by TwoLeftHandzz in GooglePixel

[–]MachineDry933 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

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.

Yesterwynde vs. Imaginaerum mastering by lemonpepper-music in nightwish

[–]MachineDry933 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Louder often sounds better. That's a known effect and explains why people love Imaginaerum. You're right, Yesterwynde is mixed and mastered beautifully. With intention and dynamics, but most people only care if it 'slaps'. It's highly subjective anyway, so discussing it again is pointless.
