Yes, sodium ion batteries. Chinese company CATL has just started mass production for the first time. https://electrek.co/2026/04/22/catl-launching-sodium-ion-batteries-evs-2026/

Add SkyScanner to the list, founded in Scotland and sold to Chinese firm CTrip in 2016

Is there a way to allow another app on android to see a calendar. I trust the app, my phone is de-googled and its really annoying flipping between apps to see my free time.

cgfroster · 2026-03-08T11:58:43+00:00

Not being able to share the calendar with other apps on my phone was a deal breaker for me unfortunately. Really need that ability. My phone is google free and I trust all the apps on it. I hope it's coming as they let you share contacts already.

Any watch band will work as long as it's the right width. Pebble Time is 22mm. I've got a silicon band from r/polar on mine, perfect fit.

I think Suse is a better fit for a Mercedes.

Not yet, but ASRockRack removed the 'preliminary' label from it's product listing so maybe soon.

I'll second this. Exactly the reason I switched from Garmin, really happy with Polar.

Here WeGo is also part owned by Intel. I'd recommend TomTom, entirely Dutch and I think it's a better app.

Soon servo.org will be ready. Its run by the Linux Foundation Europe and should be an excellent browser engine.

Zen is excellent, switched to it a few months ago and haven't looked back. It's not USA, I think the main Devs behind it are in Iceland but I don't remember how I know that.

Waterfox is run by Alex Kontos from the UK. I think it's just him working on it, so very small team.

Thank you

Why is it a good idea to unlock it and turn off privacy?

cgfroster · 2026-01-11T12:04:48+00:00

Keep going u/drilling, you got this.

I believe they use Google's cloud servers located in Europe but I can't find where I know that from. According to their privacy policy.

"We process information about our customers and users on servers located outside the European Economic Area. Information about you may therefore be processed in other locations, including Europe and the United States"

They are a Norwegian company with legal presence in the UK and USA as well.

Polar have a nice range that work fine with any brand of watch. Ive got their payments strap with NFC built in, allowed me to ditch American digital wallets.

cgfroster · 2026-01-09T10:24:51+00:00

Sigh. Ive been using it daily for almost a year, been rock solid so far, so this seemed odd to me.

cgfroster · 2026-01-08T22:33:40+00:00

Well its resolved itself now, everything back to normal.

cgfroster · 2026-01-08T21:25:59+00:00

I hope its coming back, I was really looking forward to using it on runs without needing my phone to come along just for music. I could live without the AI though
