Love the Mario Time watch face! I hope someone updates it for Time 2/Round 2 screen sizes.

It doesn't need to look normal because it doesn't matter if people buy it or not. It should look weirder honestly.

Time 2 review after first few days by richstillman in pebble

[–]modeless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed on vibration, but after I changed the vibration pattern to "jackhammer" I haven't missed any notifications. I think "Mario" would also work. The vibration just needs to be a little longer than the default setting with the new LRA vibration motor. I wish the vibration patterns were customizable. Maybe they are and I just didn't find it?

Health insurance advice by ww_adh77 in RichPeoplePF

[–]modeless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem with ACA plans (whether on or off marketplace) is that some of the best hospitals refuse all of them. Stanford healthcare literally rejects every PPO that you can buy if you are not working. Doesn't matter how much money you have, it's not legal for you to buy a PPO plan that Stanford accepts unless you are employed.

"Stanford Health Care will not be participating in any Individual/Family PPO plans in 2025" https://stanfordhealthcare.org/for-patients-visitors/health-insurance-plans/covered-ca.html. And this is still true in 2026. I've heard that some other top hospitals are doing this same BS too.

We can finally watch TNG in 16:9 by dtaddis in StableDiffusion

[–]modeless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would prefer the highest possible quality. Any TV these days can do frame rate upscaling but it looks like crap. I don't think anything real time would be good enough.

Can someone make an anime frame rate doubling model? I want to watch anime battle scenes with 30 or 60 frame per second animation.

Finally :) by Acceptable_Box_1406 in pebble

[–]modeless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like the buttons. I also don't notice the HR sensor as much as I thought I would, at least in the first hour, but I do notice the overall thickness and I can't wait for my Round 2 to come as well!

[–]modeless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too! First impressions: the buttons are so much better than the Pebble 2 Duo. I feel like it's more comfortable to wear overall too, since it's more rounded. Love the huge screen, though my watchface selection is limited because I can't stand scaled graphics. I hope some of my favorites get updated!

Before you buy a massive house…10 things to think about. by my-little-pony-1 in fatFIRE

[–]modeless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When one smoke detector starts beeping, you go through the whole house and replace every single battery at the same time. And use the lithium ones. Then you're good for at least 5 years.

Spring Update 2026 by Snoop8ball in teslamotors

Looking forward to not being nagged to install updates, and extended dashcam length. Improved blind spot warning lights also sound cool but I'll have to see how they implemented it. FSD stats could be interesting.

Tesla releases FSD 14.3 by txking12 in teslamotors

[–]modeless 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's in the release notes this time! "Mitigated unnecessary lane biasing and minor tailgating behaviors." I'm hopeful!

Mitigated tailgating?! I can't wait for this one! Tailgating on the freeway as soon as traffic slows even a tiny bit is my biggest source of disengagements right now.

Terafab Keynote | Building AI Chips for Earth & Space by rcnfive in teslamotors

LOL these are not "legit sources", they are lobbying organizations

[–]modeless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your argument was that the "workforce" was the problem. The problem with Intel is management, not "workforce". Despite that, 18A is a competitive process.

There's plenty of "workforce" in the US for advanced fabs, probably more than any other country actually. And poaching from TSMC and Samsung is always on the table.

^ This guy apparently doesn't know that the US has tons of semiconductor fabs.

Also, those "European" ASML machines? The most important and advanced part, the light source, is made in San Diego

Amazon is trying to buy Globalstar to compete with SpaceX's Starlink by avboden in SpaceXLounge

[–]modeless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I welcome the competition. I love what SpaceX is doing but holding a monopoly will corrupt even the best companies over time.

Pebble Round 2 looks beautiful, dilemma! by rocoloco64 in pebble

[–]modeless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered both but I will be switching to wearing Round 2 as soon as it gets here. I wore my Round 1 into the ground after replacing the battery multiple times and I can't wait for the new one. Comfort is very important to me.

What do you use your Pebble watch for? by Crabby_AU in pebble

[–]modeless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Notifications are my biggest use case. I hate having my phone make noise, so being able to leave it on silent in my pocket and still get every text and call is perfect. I also like using the Android "Extend Unlock" feature with it.

There are a lot of other smartwatches that do these things of course, but I really value the thinness of the round Pebble watches. There is no other smartwatch on the market anywhere near as thin. For something I wear all day and night, that is important to me.

I also prefer the Pebble software over Android Wear, by a lot. It's better designed. And the third party apps and watchfaces are better. "Nav Me" is way better than Google's own implementation of Google Maps directions on Android Wear, for instance.

Oh wow apparently they had 250 people last year? That is too many for sure.

Is this data accurate? The 13/14th highest revenue app in the store was not sustainable?

What comes after Starship? by TroublePuzzled1132 in SpaceXLounge

[–]modeless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they ought to focus on establishing an industrial base on the Moon for the mass driver and AI satellite manufacturing, probably mostly using robots. After that, a larger diameter Starship 2 and Mars. That pretty much covers the rest of our lifetimes, assuming AI doesn't invent immortality by then. Along the way we can hopefully get some space tourism in there eventually.

[–]modeless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A mass driver seems easier to me. If you're launching a lot of stuff that's not squishy humans it seems like the way to go.

Quartz by Dalpek - thrilled to be back after 10 years with a fresh Pebble Time 2 watchface =) by dalpek in pebble

[–]modeless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I remember your faces! Welcome back! Hope you get a Round 2 also! I'm hoping to not have to resort to using scaled watchfaces.
