A little help please...
My Fitbit Charge 4 does what I need, until those annoying plastic bits break.
Solutions:
Buy a new one - No.
Super glue - possibly.
Repair - tricky, those two tiny screws have sheared off. ( It's out of warranty).
All suggestions gratefully received, thanks.
@neil It's also because they're not getting materially better.
I use a #Fitbit fitness tracker, and that hasn't gotten a sensor quality update or a new one in years.
Instead, #Google in particular has made the app noticably (without exaggerating) worse, and it supposedly gets most of the smarts from the main compute which now sucks.
Not the most compelling enticement for an new device.
My #FitBit is being inconsistent with metrics. About two and a half hours after getting my 10,000 steps for the day notification I am up to 8,800 steps.
US-Unternehmen meiden – Warum jetzt?
In den #USA boykottieren viele Menschen große Konzerne wegen ihrer politischen Verflechtungen. Wer das auch hier tun will:
US-Firmen: #Amazon, #Microsoft, #Apple, #Google, #Intel, #AMD, #Dell, #HP, #Disney, #Facebook, #Instagram, #Netflix, #Twitter, #Tesla, #Adobe, #eBay, #Snapchat, #Airbnb, #Fitbit, #Activision, #Uber, #Garmin, #Bose.
Alternativen: #Nextcloud, #Fairphone, #Qwant, #DuckDuckGo. #boykott
I'm so pissed right now. I've had 2 Fitbits and 1 Pixel Watch, and they have all failed shortly after the US warranty (1 year) expired..
It's so frustrating. I'm done with devices of these brands.

Fitbit-Dilemma: Zwangsupdate für Versa 3 und Sense löst Überhitzungsprobleme, aber verkürzt Akkulaufzeit drastisch. Nutzer frustriert über eingeschränkte Funktionalität. #Fitbit #Smartwatch https://winfuture.de/news,149021.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia
Received an email from #google #fitbit telling me that they would be forcing an update on my #sense #FitbitSense watch which would shorten the battery life, due to overheating issues.
There's no mention of it in the email, but if you follow the "detailed information link in the email there is a $US50 payment as part of an "appeasement" program.
Very tricky Google, relying on people to click through to detailed information before telling them there's $50 in it for them.
I've started going to the #gym, so have been paying a little more attention to my #Fitbit stats.
I have no fucking clue what this means.
What is my "in range"?
Wtf is a "zone min"?
How can I have "6 of 5 exercise days"?
Is "59 daily readiness" good or bad?
It's all beginning to feel like something from #severance
It's bad #datavis that's for sure.
Not liking the #FitBit update that got rid of splitting midnight-straddling exercise into two day's worth of activity-credit.
For example, last night's #LevelUp/#SmoakLand show: I apparently started dancing around 23:45 (Smoakland started their set at 23:30) and continued for just shy of two hours (Level Up ended her set at 01:40). Prior to the update, that would have given me two days' move-minutes: 15 minutes for Thursday and 100 minutes for Friday (today). Under
current accounting, it's just 115 minutes credited to Thursday.
Guess I need to get off my ass for a bit, today.

To my fellow #privacy focused individuals. I’ve been using a #Fitbit for some time, and as you are aware, #Google purchased the brand a while ago now, and I have been #De-Googling my life.
What solutions have you found for #fitnesstracking? I’d be interested to know about any #OpenSource tracking options that work well with GPS and hiking apps such as #Alltrails, or other alternatives.
I’m new to this area of privacy! Beyond just taking the tracker off completely and going without.
#Fitbit 's metrics and analytics are so bad that I'll not replace it once this device breaks.
The "advice" is contradictory, the tracking is wrong, and some things are just so obvious logic errors that I'd fail the developers in an internship program.
Well done I guess?
I am hoping for #repebble to instead build the few things I want on my own ...
Perhaps a little too much activity today... #fitbit #cardioload
