I'd be happy with 2010 era desktop Linux level of support. It doesn't need to get everybody to switch, just needs to be good enough for my needs.

I only learned to touch type properly because I was bored one summer and went cold turkey and learned Colemak. Before that, I had this weird pseudo touch typing technique with some keys being touch typed and others not, and because of the muscle memory, it was difficult to change.

Userbenchmark have a long running grudge against AMD. I'm not sure why, but they therefore aren't a trustworthy source.

A major improvement already happened in 5.2+ but few devices support it yet (LE Audio with LC3 codec).

LDAC is a very inefficient codec, and isn't lossless even at its highest bitrate. But they are all close to perceptually lossless even at relatively low bitrates so it's a much of muchness.

nixos-anywhere also works well for this use case.

four- or five-episode series.

It was six episodes. That's how much was needed to cover how much of a piece of shit Vince is.

Not at exactly the same time since the app and watch communicate over Bluetooth. You should be able to pair and repair between the apps, but I haven't tested it myself.

Basically, gadgetbridge is a third party open-source application that replaces the manufacturer app for a bunch of fitness watches (and other devices of that kind).

So you can use it to replace the phone connectivity functions (like receiving notifications etc) as well as getting visualisations of the data etc. And since it all happens locally, none of your data is stored on the manufacturer's servers. If you understand how to work with SQL and statistics, you can also run your own statistical analyses, since it's just a sqlite DB.

The downside is that you can expect it to be limited in functionality compared to e.g. Garmin's cloud functionality. Personally I find there's enough data to be useful, but other's might have different needs.

Popularity has little to do with quality. And that applies to iMessage as much as WhatsApp, Facebook, or any of the other communication channels that dominate due to network effects and switching costs.

Garmin watches are now increasingly supported by GadgetBridge too, so you can have a fully offline setup.

I'd just leave for a different bank at that point, although I get that it's not always practical.
