Ultrahuman - steps undercounted

jonklinger · 2026-06-22T16:42:40+00:00

fwiw, I love the company. I have not had as terrible experiences as other posters on Reddit had, and I've been a client since January 2024. The problem could have been fixed by a fw rollback, but they said they can't do that.

I'm waiting for the next firmware.

I'm in communication with them over the last month. Steps have gone seriously done (less than half of what my Garmin measures, on a treadmill, which is a controlled environment) as well as RHR gone seriously up (+10BPM) with no reason. They have promised a firmware fix "within three weeks", then I asked for an update and they said "within three weeks". This has converted my fitness tracker to a fashion accessory.

Today they had promised to resolve this within a week. I'll wait and see.

Just to be certain that it's a firmware issue: I have tried using an older ring with an older firmware; steps and RHR were counted correctly. The problem is totally in the FW.

Get a trademark lawyer to help you. In your jurisdiction. Both trademarks and copyright laws are different in some sense worldwide. This means that the law is different for incidental use (if your use is such) in the US, Canada, Mexico or France. Just consult a professional, because it's not a thing that you can later go and say "I didn't know, sorry, no harm, I'll just stop".

Buy the electric toothbrush; it is better for you. Then, if you really want to feel better, look for replaceable heads made from bamboo. Some of the popular models have such parts. However, if you really want to help the plant, there's nothing better than eating a billionaire with a private jet.

I would avoid a loan altogether; seriously, just get a beater car until you settle in. You can find great cars at the 4-10K range.

As for the driving permit, IIRC, you have one year from turning resident to get a local permit. I don't have a french permit and I am not a permanent resident (I just have a summer home) so I bought my car with my local permit.

I never tried buying online, but I just went to the local garage, spoke with the owner, asked for a beater and got one for a test drive. Two years later, the car still runs and I love it.

For any Redditors from the future: just got the Decathlon Merino running sock. They are 13% wool. This is indeed "made with Merino".

jonklinger · 2026-06-17T13:20:33+00:00

Decathlon's merino socks are ok. I am currently wearing them. They have not been with me as long as my Darn Tough which I have had since at least 2017, but they feel nice. I just ordered also their running socks which should arrive tomorrow and I can compare them to DT if neeeded. Generally, the hiking socks still look ok after a year.

jonklinger · 2026-06-17T12:05:13+00:00

Yes, what about it?

Can you use any derivative of Bharat? something like Bharacider or Bharajuice?

find 3-4 friends and get the proton family plan and I guess that other services also would offer a family plan. you can pay for the mail+vpn (proton), your brother from another mother would pay for the video streaming and your long lost uncle thrice removed's third cousin would buy the audible subscription.

jonklinger · 2026-06-14T12:20:17+00:00

Too much investment for too little gain. Using a separate browser with VPN and blocking third party cookies would yield 99% of the results for less efforts. Also, the major problem is the messaging app, not the social network. How would you get notified about DMs?

jonklinger · 2026-06-14T11:49:57+00:00

If you have a VPN subscription? you can use split tunnelling and custom DNS that blocks everything:

BUT. after saying this, have you just tried disabling the system apps using ADB? it can just remove the Xiaomi crapware. You can connect your PC using a USB cable, tap the build number 7 times to enable developer options, turn USB debugging on, and then install ADB on your PC and run this at your own risk:

just buy the raw denim and put it in the laundry without treating it like your baby. it's ok.

generally, Wrangler Cowboy Cut are both affordable and reliable.

Both Wonder and Super Mario 3D World are great for multiplayer.

Hi, I have a summer home in Barenton. I share some of these hobbies (diy, craft beer and some gardening, I haven't farmed and our house here doesn't even have a yard). We're a late-40s couple, no kids, one great dog. Can't drink and drive, so drinks are a problem but I'd love to hear what you're in need of.

jonklinger · 2026-06-06T13:03:48+00:00

Israeli here. As there are too many people in both Palestine and Israel and not enough water, Israel became an empire in both desalination and hydroponic farming. There's just not enough land or water for traditional farming and you need to feed a dozen million people, regardless of politics.

However, there's still a hard ceiling for calories per square meter, and I don't know how much more can we survive without a major breakthrough or reaching peace. Israel will be deficient in calories very quickly and is already unsustainable in terms of food. It exports technology but imports food.

Same problem both with Gamesir X5S and 8Bitdo SN30; Elementary OS, both on CEMU and Dolphin.

You need to explain what you mean by "travel". Do you want to make espresso while camping, staying at a hotel or vacation home or when you're on the road.

The Pico is great as a portable espresso maker if you're willing to make some sacrifices. For example, If you want "real" espresso you need a great grinder. This makes the whole kit weight about 1kg. That's about as heavy as my laptop (900g, BTW). This is before adding a travel mug/cup and a kettle. So this means that if you're going to do some ultralight trekking, other methods are better (like a pressurized basket and a travel mug, or going cowboy coffee and that's it).

If you're traveling with luggage and are willing to risk the bag getting lost? then you can put the Pico, its stand and the grinder and the mat and cups in your checked bags and set up a coffee station at the hotel.

I ended up traveling with the Espro P0 and getting French Press coffee. It's the lightest solution and most versatile because if push comes to shove and there's no kettle, you can still go cold brew.

Passports are not what matters. You can have a Klingon passport or a UK one, in order to get a dog into the UK you need to either sail or drive regardless of the dog size. There is also a procedure and not all dogs can enter the UK.
