See if you can find a friend who owns a particular model and is comfortable letting you try it on. How it fits is the most important thing IMO.

Samsung ones seem reliable, but one big downside is that the app (Galaxy Wearable), has a number of required permissions. The app does not function without them, even if you don't need those features. I'm not sure what the workarounds are, and maybe you can make do without the app, but here is the list:

  • Calendar
  • Call logs
  • Contacts
  • Nearby Devices
  • Phone
  • SMS

I didn't want to promote any paid tool in the post. I'm currently paying for one of the more well known models, but I want to shop around. My plan right now is to find a pay as you go tool, so that I can use different models depending on what task each one is good at.

If I'm going to pay for something, I want to vote with my wallet and go with the option that's better for consumers

Same for me, on occasion I've discovered decent games by clicking on the ads on mobile. Since I know it's going to open up the play store, it doesn't feel as sketchy.

However, the vast majority of the time I back out after taking a look at the game page.

I was about to recommend Heliboard since that's the best one so far IMO, but it also doesn't have emoji search. Turns out I was using the "recent emojis" menu

That might help in the meantime till a better recommendation comes around

There actually is a bot here for that

For sure! Turns out I was subscribed to two, the later being an automated mirror of a subreddit

There's also a community for the Hermit app it turns out [email protected]. That one seems abandoned

It comes on sale somewhat often, I saw a sale post the other day on Lemmy somewhere.

There's also Native Alpha on Fdroid which does something similar

edit: decided to give it a try. Interestingly, both Lemmy and Mastodon are listed in the "popular" section of the built in apps

This makes me think of people who have trouble in airports because their name is similar to someone else's.

Only this is going to be much harder to deal with

I haven't seen much discussion about the third one, what would that be about?

Wouldn't they be? They could measure how likely it is that someone clicks on the generated link/text

As a follow-up question, what are some open source satellite data sources, maybe orgs like NASA?

It could also be A/B testing, so not everyone will have the AI running in general
