Wtf are they doing.

The Fitbit paywall is bullshit too. I don't miss it at all with my pw1.

I have the first Google home with the screen. The second generation with sleep tracking looked nice but you need a monthly subscription... For using the damn sensor that you bought.

For the watches, it's a shame that Google doesn't seem to do anything to improve the amount of apps. There's almost no apps for wearos. Maybe they could bribe some popular apps for a wearos version. Maybe try to create a momentum.

I like having a smart watch but it's basically just for notifications, "fitness", the weather and seeing my next calendar event.

Fuck you Google. I buy your premium pro phones and watches (that you barely improve) and you want me to pay for basic features like PiP or the sleep timer?

Don't be surprised that I use smartube, pipepipe, newpipe and others instead.

Note that medium mode is a good compromise and is a lot less painful than hard mode.

Does shelterjs have a big impact on performance?

I use home-assistant and a esphome device as a Bluetooth proxy to track plants with some Bluetooth devices (MiFlora I think)

Last commit is 11 months old. That's a lot in dog years.

Tbh I don't know if they would cost 3x as much without ads. The hardware is kinda shit. It's slow are barely working.

Start with limited ads on a free or cheap service, then open things up to a monetization team milk it.

Yeah that is probably they plan all along to lock us in and then enshitify it as time go on but even if they sell them at loss, we consume a lot of YouTube (I even rent movies from Google). They can make their money without ads, if they actually cared about having a great product and not just milk us.

Yeah I already use Projectivy. It's pretty nice. Thanks.

I'll also check other alternatives. I hope there is way to use the Chromecast protocol with Foss servers.
