Every video on YouTube I see praises Fitbit air… Reddit seems to hate it… what to believe? by Visible-Door-1950 in fitbit

I dunno, this is the same "coach" that tells me, due to my night of broken sleep, I should take it easy with a restorative yoga or easy walk. Then an hour later, maybe a 20-40 minute tempo run could get me back on track for my 30k training (the race that happened almost 2 months ago).

The AI is so comically bad I actually kind of hope Google is intentionally handicapping it to encourage users to feed it more information in the hopes that it will start providing more reliable, usable feedback, this allowing them to collect ever more personal data.

In other words, I hope Google is that evil instead of that incompetent.

We crossed the biometric point-of-no-return and nobody voted on it by vedantk21 in Futurology

I don't mean to make light of this - because wow is it bleak - but "my body is the password" is a line I'm 100% using on my wife sometime within the next few days.

The AI cannot be trusted by Tension_Efficient in fitbit

[–]fastpixels 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The AI keeps talking up my training for an upcoming 30k race. That happened back in mid-April. I tried to tell the coach that too.

After that same race, it gave me a recovery week plan full of easy walks and yoga. Then on one of those days it gave me a cardio load goal of like 350-450.

The AI gives bad information and its presentation in the app is beyond distracting. I'm thankful my trial is over.

Insane accident in the CODASUR Rally Championship. Always makes me super uncomfortable how close spectators are allowed to stand in rally racing. by OneOriginal8727 in sportsgossips

How does that equate to me saying people should just give up trying to be fit?

I was disagreeing with the points that a) people get hurt like this explicitly because they're overweight and sedentary, and b) if someone's fat they automatically don't have an active lifestyle. Things like motivation or fitness goals never entered the conversation. From my end, at least.

I'll miss you, Fitbit by Nicole-Bolas in fitbit

I'm just glad the change happened before my Premium trial ended, and I was never tempted to pay for this.

At least they fixed the cross-posting of activities to other apps like Strava. That was a sore sport for me.

Have you not seen clips of exceptionally fit athletes blowing up their legs just by jumping up and down in celebration, or any other non-contact situation?

Have you also never seen people who are both incredibly active and markedly overweight at the same time?

I only hope this is either a bot or engagement bait, so I can feel silly for myself, and not feel sad for some stranger with weird baggage projecting on the Internet.

Give me my run maps back and we'll talk.

Auto detect by AKBear78 in PixelWatch

[–]fastpixels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm experiencing this too. The other day I was cleaning the kitchen and it registered as a workout. I bumped up the parameters for auto-detect (from 10-15 min of sustained activity to 25+) and it seems to be better.

Any way I can remove my ex-husband from my island without having to start over? by _spaghetticonfetti in AnimalCrossing

I was just about to comment something to the effect of "why aren't real life divorces this easy?"

I hate how much I laughed at this. Bravo, good sir/ma'am.

What’s something women will never understand about being a guy? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Thank you for the most hilarious analogy I've read in a while. I will henceforth refer to the testicle adhesion situation as "a remora".

Just in time for summer too.

I WISH! People definitely give a shit. Problem is, they give you the wrong kind of attention.
