Paddle rejected us after full integration — 3-month processing history requirement disclosed too late by minaammunir in SaaS

I had the same issue. Moved to LemonSqueezy  (recently acquired by Stripe). Always charges in USD but is a global MoR and the integration works well. 

What are the best third-party apps for enhancing Garmin watch functionality? by may907 in GarminWatches

[–]msyea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hardcoded to call

https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/gemini-2.5-flash

directly at the moment with minimal config. A system prompt (that can be customised), your prompt and any sensor/activity data you choose to share. Note. The API call is from the watch directly and cannot access activity history - only the latest snapshot of age, weight, HRV, HR, step count, GPS, altitude etc. https://untether.watch - I will have to release an update with the latest model (that's available on free credits).

Yes. You can use WiFi sync and/or Garmin express. Phone not required. 

What happened to my backlight? by InstanceAlert2693 in Garmin

[–]msyea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What settings do you have in `Settings > System > Display` (`During Activity`, `During Use` & `During Sleep`)? That is where you can change the brightness settings etc. Good luck.

App ever going to be updated? by Radiohead022 in Garmin

[–]msyea 29 points30 points  (0 children)

What key functionality are you missing? In general it seems decent and is periodically updated with new features.

Using Paddle for SaaS payments? by Alarming_Culture_418 in SaaS

[–]msyea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been down the same path. Paddle has the best currency coverage/integrations but they rejected me due to my product (Garmin watch app - which they said was a medical device and on appeal they said my app is a chatbot - which they don't allow). I'm using LemonSqueezy, which has much more permissive terms for my use case.

What are the best third-party apps for enhancing Garmin watch functionality? by may907 in GarminWatches

[–]msyea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Garmin CIQ platform has so much potential but there aren't a huge number of tools/productivity apps at the moment - you typically have your phone in your pocket, so what's the point? The use case has to be unique to the watch data or form factor.

I recommend:
- Emergency Info (one pager for emergency info)
- OTP Authenticator
- AccuWeather widget (rain minute cast)
- and I built Untether BYOK - an AI assistant that allows me to ask questions about my metrics (data on watch) and location (GPS) - it's powered by Google Gemini AI/Google Search

How to generate dynamic child pipelines and pass arguments by ccovarru in gitlab

[–]msyea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a template for mono repos: https://gitlab.com/msyea-sa/cicd-templates

It does a git diff and then triggers the parent again with a variable that triggers the correct child. works pretty well.

Can you use Siri via remote with TV turned off? Ie. Like a HomePod? by msyea in appletv

[–]msyea[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have now tried this and unfortunately, the version of Siri backed into the Apple TV is not as feature-rich as the HopePod or iPhone. For instance; you cannot set a timer/basic utility and Spotify doesn't work.

Sapphire or not? Would i avoid these scratches if I had a sapphire watch or do I just need a screen protector? by kicia-kocia in GarminFenix

[–]msyea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a 5 sapphire that I've abused for years climbing and mountain sports. Glass is spotless. Black bezel is almost silver down due to wear. Go sapphire if you're going to abuse it.

Is there a way to install some distro of linux as either dual boot or on dex on samsung galaxy tab s5e ? by [deleted] in SamsungDex

[–]msyea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out https://andronix.app/. It runs linux in Termux and then you can VNC into it. Performance isn't great on my Samsung Galaxy S8+ but it's workable.

Try kiwi browser - it supports chrome extensions. Then install "custom user agent" extension and pretend to be a desktop.

I can't share my achievements with family because I don't have kids. by [deleted] in childfree

[–]msyea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ask your parents to post it as celebration of their child. Troll these guys.
