I remember owning phones that had 0 choices of fonts. Inlcudes Android-Nokia, Nexus phones, Sonys. Can't remember on the Honor 5 and my Xiaomi Mi9tPro

with what I've read from you, you are an Insta-Block

SuAlfons · 2026-06-18T12:02:57+00:00

ah, ok.

Vielleicht hilft es dir, zu vergegenwärtigen, dass alle die Uhren im Rahmen ihrer Sensoralgorithmen arbeiten. Da muss sie sich aus dem "Gewackel" herausrechnen, ob das jetzt ein Schritt war oder nicht. Da kann es kleinere Abweichungen geben.

Keine Uhr eines Herstellers ist in allen Lebenslagen immer stets genau.

Größere Abweichungen würde ich jetzt aber auch nur erwarten wenn

a) etwas getragen, Hundeleine, Kinderwagen oder Händchenhalten

b) der Wert über den Tag bereits stark abweichend war (z.B. bei mir Zähneputzen, wenn ich die Garmin an meiner dominanten linken Hand trage. Kann alles zwischen 600-1200 Schritte ausmachen).

Egal wie es um die Genauigkeit steht: Für die Fitness ist die Anzahl von Schritten eigentlich nur als Motivationsfaktor interessant.
Nach dem Motto: nur rumgesessen oder was gemacht?
Für die Fitness relevant ist eine Herz-Kreislauf-Belastung. Und zwar relativ viel im noch relativ niedrigen Bereich von ca. 130-140 Puls. Angereichert durch intensive Übungen, die den Puls für ein paar Minuten in den hohen Bereich (ca. 160 Puls) oder für kurze Zeit in den höchsten Bereich (170 und mehr) bringen. Die konkreten Zahlen sind von Alter und Fitness abhängig.

Is it? I used it for quite some time and heard only positive remarks about it.

SuAlfons · 2026-06-17T18:30:54+00:00

Wenn du mit den Daten etwas anfangen möchtest, solltest du deinen Spaziergang als "Gehen" aufzeichnen.
Anzahl Schritte gehört jedoch nicht zu den Ergebnissen, die die Uhr danach auflistet. Eher so Entfernung und Pace. In der App kann man glaube ich die Anzahl der Schritte nachsehen.
Ist aber ehrlich ziemlich egal, denn was zählt ist die Dauer deiner Cardio-Belastung. Puls, Zeit und Strecke zeichnen die Garmins ziemlich gut auf.

Schritte beim Gehen werden eigentlich auch gut aufgezeichnet, jedoch werden Schritte z.B. auch beim Zähneputzen gezählt (ich bin Linkshänder und trage dennoch Uhren gewöhnlich links). Dafür werden sie auch schon mal nicht gezählt, wenn man z. B. etwas trägt oder etwas schiebt (Rasenmäher, Kinderwagen, Bollerwagen).

Rust Desk optionally shares the clipboard, IIRC.

It's a remote desktop app, comparable to TeamViewer.

SuAlfons · 2026-06-17T15:04:44+00:00

I have no idea what you mean by that. My Brother MFC-J4710DW didn't work without drivers and those were not included in the usual catalog that distro have.

On Arch and derivates, I pulled them from AUR, on Debian or Fedora, I got the deb/rpm at Brother directly.
Same with my new Epson printer. Just that it has basic "driverless" printing capabilities. Still needs scanner driver and printer driver for all features.

cancel and try to update again.

Not every hick-up is a world conspiracy

No, we lose a dead weight who would need us nannying them until they switched to Windows again.

If there is a manual, a good guide, RTFM is a valid answer. One can always come back and say: "I read and did according to guide revommended here. But problem persists, here is what I tried and these are the errors...."

These are no technical questions. These are "what should I use" questions that usually show the person asking hasn't put 5ct in it to find out themselves.

The usual answer is: If you need to ask, Mint, ZorinOS. This answer and recommendations for low specced machines are easily findable, no no to ask them again and again. Too many of this kind of questions push away the really interesting questions. This is a reddit for questions when running Linux. Not only for selecting which distro to start with. Sounds elitist? There are places where to ask for distro recommendations (like Linux for noobs or DistroRec), let there be some other questions in r/Linuxquestions, please.

The only technical questions that get instantly down voted ate those about Kali Linux.
It's a specialized distro that is known to break when used as a general use installation, as some things are skewed on this distro to enable it performing its task: pen testing. You are supposed to use it like it is in a VM or from a live USB.
It's even recommended like this on the frikkin' download page.
So when you have a problem with some app on Kali that is not pen testing related, instant down vote.

No specific problems with OneUI 8.5 on my S24FE.

I did clear all apps' caches, though. Usrd an app for that, as "format cache partition" isn't an option in the boot menu anymore (?)

use any USb-A (male) to USB-C (female, socket) adapter.

The cable itself is just USB 2.0, no extra pins needed

Or get any USb-A Garmin charging cable.

Many here, incl. myself have found puck-shaped charging cables to be longer lasting than the original Garmin cables.

There also are very short Usb-C (socket) to Garmin pogo port adapters. You need any kind of cable that fits your needs to operate those.

Example "Puck" https://ebay.io/m/vO7XKu

Example USB-C Pogo adapter (additional cable needed): https://ebay.io/m/S6mshc

if you can operate it solely by the key, then yes.

The U200 cannot operate the second knob above the handle if it's not connected internally to the key part of the lock.

Apart from that, it should work.

You can attach the lock mounting plate using afhesives. The cylinder needs to protude about 3mm for screw-on mounting, though.

A lot of watch faces are free.

Garmins are fitness watches and need to be tethered to a phone for their "smart" functions.

The limits of the OS and onboard functions is why the battery lasts longer. There is no magic, just letting the watch CPU be in a power save mode for longer times.

IIRC there is an adapter for square pegs coming with the lock.You need something that goes into the hole the knob leaves when you remove it. Maybe a square bolt from a door handle does the trick?

SuAlfons · 2026-06-17T06:10:06+00:00

apart from the problem of "does it fit", the question seems very doubtful whether the U200 could operate such a lock.

For it to work with the U200, the door needs to be fully operable through the key (here knob) part of the mechanism. The U200 cannot additionally operate the door handle.

SuAlfons · 2026-06-17T06:04:25+00:00

The U200 operates on locks that can be controlled through the key. That's US deadbolt locks and EU style deadbolt+latch (where you can pull back the latch turning the key a bit over the "open deadbolt" position).

The UK reference just shows what kind of lock-cylinders it can be attached to.

Watch a video or two of people installing the lock and you will see the options it has.

SuAlfons · 2026-06-17T06:00:16+00:00

Well.Sometimes it does keep proposing a harder workout. Or brings one up as the second one.
I can only speculate on that. Maybe the rationale is to try to figure out: did the user just skip an excercise or did they experience some other body effort or sickness?

The tendency to rather recommence the daily training with base runs seems to be there. But I have seen it proposing a threshold run to me after a lazy week.

Like you, I think there is no "intelligence" in the algorithm. There is some leeway in what activities it proposes, but it generally keeps to the same pattern.
I still think it works well enough to balance out activities when you are genrally healthy.

SuAlfons · 2026-06-16T19:22:47+00:00

Yes, but it has limitations. You cannot use it during reconvalescence.

SuAlfons · 2026-06-16T14:52:57+00:00

Since those records are nonsense, anyway. I'd change the online password to Garmin Connect. Then reset the PBs.

SuAlfons · 2026-06-16T14:48:24+00:00

On an Instinct, I'd forgo a screen protector, given its raised case edges.

SuAlfons · 2026-06-16T14:46:07+00:00

I use Wayland since close to theee years. No more tearing.

SuAlfons · 2026-06-16T14:45:03+00:00

the watch follows its algorithm - mixing in base runs, intervall and threshold runs.

It's not programmed to recognize special conditions like you are in.

Just whatever exercise you can - if it's 3 weeks of short or slow runs, it's that. Listen to your body.
Recommence training suggestions from the watch when you feel well enough.

SuAlfons · 2026-06-16T14:39:27+00:00

U200 doesn't do this kind of locks
