@Tervy 😏

not that i was wrong

yeah, considering that Xiaomi can't skirt on data protection law

chinese (nfc) one has indeed nfc, xiaomi AI thing less battery and other stuff like that

NFC would be useful if google pay works

and not alipay/wechat/etc

only with wepay

versus the global (international whateveR)

also hope that the music control isnt native to xiaomi's app

and can work with poweramp

fitbit the one that was bought by google?

Yes

if only microsoft bands were cheaper

tho i guess garming vivofit2 is equaly tolerable looking

(like id wear one ever~)

SPEAKING OF have they yet hacked those xiaomi bands to be less malwarey

i think there's a "tools and mi band" app that extends functionality somewhat and i think there's some FOSS app

but to hack the band itself? nah

i could use just foss /opensource app for it not necessary hacket watch i guess

something that does not call home evertime it thinks i have epilepsy in bed

mite work for you

ahh gadgetbridge is still the GoTo thing

nice

i wish they would add more views to miband, like i would want to change the light of my xiaomi led bulb from my wrist

i dont know if it is the goto thing

i havent used it in years

but it does have miband4 support

so clearly its still alive

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

oh huh wow

they fucking hermetically sealed that thing or what?

goddamn chinese

its kind of sad that pebble died

a company that promised the world to power users then did a complete 180

but i guess they gave enough support to show larger players that "these markets exist"

just like oneplus

good riddance

yeah if only some company would ever look at us powerusers on anything

we are just hinderance even if we happen to fix all their shit on their githubs :D
