I bought one. The touch screen was not good. The heart rate sensor was wild inaccurate at times. It was a pain to sync with my phone. And the strap gave me a rash.
Not that I expect the watch in the article to be any better.
There is also huawei band, which has similar low price but with seemingly better software than the xiaomi smart band. At the very least, the sync process is easy on both android and ios.
It also works with Gadgetbridge without having to pair it in the official app first (for Xiaomi bands, you need to do it to extract a key, not sure how consistently it's doable nowadays). Apparently the supported featureset is not as complete as for Xiaomi devices, but seems to be enough to cover the basics.
So Huawei are also easier to use without having to send your data anywhere.
I do. AMD has done me dirty many times in the past so I will continue buying Intel for the foreseeable future. The only thing that matters to me is single core performance and when you compare Intel and AMD in that regard they are similarly priced anyway.
That's how my smoking went. I tried a cigar and my conclusion was that blowing the smoke out was somewhat amusing, but absolutely none of the other parts appealed to me at all.
Smoked half of it before putting it out and determining I was good never bothering with it again.
I always found this funny too, I smoked half a cig once in high school and still to this day remember how awful it was, I've long wondered how it is people actually get into smoking.
Precisely the problem with systems like the government is that their hunger never ends.
