«Lessons in humility & simplicity for 'data science': Garmin's health status»

I blogged about how another #wearable manufacturer went down the road of leaving up data interpretation to humans instead of automating it – and how that relates to "AI" or "automated decision making"

(Responses to this toot become blog comments too)

Da bestellst du dir ein #Wearable, das ganz gut besprochen ist, auch in Sachen Datenschutz, erstellst extra einen Account beim Anbieter - und der will neben deinen Gesundheitsdaten auch Zugriff auf alle Kontakte, Anrufe und SMS und so ziemlich alles. Sonst koppelt er das Handy nicht mit der Uhr.

Ich wollte keine totale Verwaltung auf dem Teil, sondern NUR die Gesundheitsfunktionen.

Rücksendung.

Sorry, I'm a bit out of the loop on this. I'm in the market for parts to assemble my own #Wearable computer and the display is a part of that struggle. How much of this thing is assembled from existing off-the-shelf parts? Do we have a parts list? Are they taking a loss on the hardware price? How much do we know about the capability to repurpose the components?

Let me guess… you’re worried because you’re finding your mobile phone too big, unwieldy and unmanageable? You also dream of walking the streets wearing a pair of specs feeding you unnecessary details about everything you look at?

I guess innovation’s good, but I’m reaching the conclusion they’re trying to make tech simply because they can, not because we need it…

Can you *even imagine *
the right wing freak out if this was proposed by a Biden or Obama cabinet member. Holy Dogshit! Fox News would be so spun up with "government tracking" "government control" "they're going to demand you wear it at all times" "Government mind control" it would be really something to see.

Galaxy Watch6 receives a new update

After Samsung rolled out the stability update to the Galaxy Watch7 series, Samsung has started rolling out a new software update that is rather massive to the Galaxy Watch6 series, starting from Korea. The flagship watches will be updated to the following versions:

  • Galaxy Watch6 40mm (BT and Cellular, SM-R930/R935x): BYD1
  • Galaxy Watch6 44mm (BT and Cellular, SM-R940/R945x): BYD1
  • Galaxy Watch6 Classic 40mm (BT and Cellular, SM-R950/R955x): BYD1
  • Galaxy Watch6 Classic 44mm (BT and Cellular, SM-R960/R965x): BYD1

You can now update your smartwatch, but if you still didn’t receive any update, you’ll have to wait for a few days as this rollout is a gradual rollout that starts from Korea. You can periodically check for updates to see if this update has reached your device. We recommend that you update your watch manager in your phone to ensure compatibility with the latest software.

To update your watch, follow these steps:

  • With your phone
    1. Open Galaxy Wearable
    2. Select your watch
    3. Open Watch settings
    4. Navigate to Software Update
    5. Tap Download and Install
    6. Wait until the update shows up, then press Download
    7. Wait until the update gets downloaded and copied to your watch, then press Install
  • With your watch
    1. Open Settings
    2. Navigate to Software update
    3. Tap Download and Install
    4. Wait until the update shows up, then press Download
    5. Wait until it gets downloaded to your watch, then press Install

In an event that something went wrong with copying the update, disconnect your phone from your watch by turning Bluetooth off or by disconnecting it through Galaxy Wearable, then try again from your watch. Make sure to turn Wi-Fi on in your watch to download the update faster.

Make sure that both your phone and your watch are charged before performing the update, and that your internet connection is stable. Never interrupt the update process, or there could be problems later. The update process may take a few minutes to finish, and if it appears to be stuck, just wait for more minutes.

[#TLDR: JUST TELL ME IF YOUR TABLET CAN DO #CALLS!]

#DearVendors of #Android-#Tablets:

Off all the #Functions you can put into a #Specifications Sheet of your Devices there's one you should ALWAYS answer clearly on your #Website:

DOES YOUR TABLET [with #4G / #5G / …) SUPPORT MAKE PHONE CALLS?

Like: IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK TO HAVE THAT INFO IN THE SPECSHEETS?

You're obviously able to list all the #Codecs natively supported and the user-available storage as well as supported Frequency Bands, WWAN modes, WiFi channel width and the Display Glass vs. Panel dimensions including DPI of the latter and whether or not it has a hall effect sensor to detect your overpriced 1st party tablet covers!

Now some folks may ask: "WHY does this matter?" or outright dismiss this as a problem.

Listen:
Not everyone is able or willing to carry two devices when 1 SHOULD BE ENOUGH and also some places (i.e. #Turkey) have #ImportRestrictions re: #MobileDevices, so having more than 1 #IMEI is already a "NOPE!" by the authorities.

  • Also this isn't something one can "fix" post-purchase like installing #VLC to decode some obscure file format in Software: Either the #Baseband and #ROM support #PhoneCalls or they don't!

So why do NONE of the #Tablet manufacturers allow to #search or #filter for that???

NO, instead one has to download an obscenely huge #PDF just to then read on page 34 that for any "#telephony" function you NEED YET ANOTHER DEVICE FROM THE SAME MANUFACTURER AND HAVE TO SIGNUP WITH AN ACCOUNT and even that level of #abuse WON'T GUARANTEE THAT IT WORKS...

  • I mean, come on, this ain't some obscure functionality like #OMAPI to do some "evil sourcery" like managing an #eSIM that is in a #SIM-Card form factor!

Pretty shure A LOT of other folks have the same question and ain't willing to get yet another device & #SIM just to recieve the occasional call because #TechIlliterates can't be assed to send an #eMail or learn #XMPP+#OMEMO to message one...

  • Obviously they same manufacturers are able and willing to specify f-stops of the built-in cameras and list EVERY SINGLE #WEARABLE they made and certify as 'compatible' with, as if anyone is gonna take their non-#waterproof #Tablet for a marathon or god forbid triathlon...

The scene in _Snow Crash_ where Hiro Protagonist, having temporarily become a gargoyle, socially engineers a motorcycle salesman and scams the fuck out of him... is now possible in this reality.
