Assuming you're in the US, I 100% would've done a credit card chargeback. Bank would've taken your side on that one.

Worth noting that ATC is unusual in that there is both a maximum age that you can start (30) as well as a mandatory retirement age (56).

“Canceled” is a term assholes came up with to rebrand “consequences” to make it seem like something that isn’t their own fault.

Not sure I agree with this particular take. My recollection is that this usage of cancelled started in progressive internet spaces and was absolutely used to describe consequences for being an asshole.

It's the exact same trajectory woke took -- it was language used by left-leaning people that got co-opted and intentionally diluted by conservatives.

That's a really great point and another reason I've really enjoyed the Garmin experience -- Garmin doesn't try to sell your own data back to you.

Getting anything more than the absolute most basic of real time data out of a Fitbit requires an annual subscription. With Garmin, it's just there.

Fitbit is owned by Google and has the same policy of not repairing cracked screens.

I owned a Sense 2 and was in a bicycle crash. Screen hit the pavement and shattered. Absolutely no options from Fitibit/Google to get it repaired.

I switched to Garmin and couldn't be happier.

Something like a body panel is going to expand/contract a couple of orders of magnitude more than 10 microns just from the weather changing day-to-day.
