On Whatever you do, don't buy a Fitbit Edge on day one - Android Authority ·
Totally agree. I never use my SmartWatch to make payments or take calls. I inevitably default to my phone. The Fitbit edge is the perfect middle ground for me.

On Whatever you do, don't buy a Fitbit Edge on day one - Android Authority ·
Good god, you people really need to chill out. I'm so tired of reading these articles about how the edge is missing these features. That's not why most people are going to buy it, they're going to buy it for the tracking and sleeping capability. The air is just way too minimal for people who want a screen. The edge is absolutely what I'm looking for. A screen for time and display, and decent tracking from my hikes, cycling, and walks. I also want some sleep tracking. I don't want to have to look at my phone whenever I need to use my tracking device, like the Fitbit air. If I wanted a smartwatch, I would use one of my other three smart watches. I only want this for health and sleep tracking without wearing a large chunky watch. This is the perfect device for many people, including me.

On The one missing feature that stopped me from buying a Fitbit Edge ·
I'm getting so irritated with all of this negativity about NFC on the Fitbit Edge. I remember when the Fitbit Air came out, everybody was complaining there was no GPS or altimeter. Now they've released a fitness tracker at a good price, with a display, GPS, and an altimeter. And now of course everybody's crying about NFC missing. You just can't please everybody. Most people carry their phones and use those when they need to make a payment. I've installed NFC on smartwatches in the past but then never used them. I always have my phone with me and use it for my payments. This is a tracking device and fitness device, it's not meant to make payments. If you want NFC, buy a full-blown smartwatch.

On Plex just proved it has no idea what users want ·
Well said. I've been a Plex lifetime user for years and I'm now investigating Jellyfin for all of the reasons you stated. Will Plex stop this corporate nonsense and get back to basics? Highly unlikely. Their path forward is moving further away from what made them special in the first place, and that will ultimately be their undoing.

On Motorola just proved it still doesn't care about Android updates — and it's only getting worse ·
On the rare occasion, I have purchased a Motorola phone as a backup. I would never use it as a primary phone because updates are so rare. I'll never understand why they don't offer at least 5 years of updates, and make sure that regular OS updates are done in a timely manner. This company would do so much better if they would step up their game.

On Google’s Tensor G5 is ‘good enough’ — but 2026 flagships are leaving the Pixel 10 behind ·
I'm fine with this. I always use my phone as a phone, not a gaming device. That's why I but gaming tablets like the Lenovo Y700 Gen 5 or Legion Go handheld. Who wants to game on such a small screen.

On Samsung DeX or Pixel's Desktop Mode? Survey reveals a surprising favorite ·
Dex is far superior to Google desktop. The fact that you can't plug your pixel phone into XR glasses and use your phone as a mouse, is completely inferior. Not to mention that your display will not turn off when you are wired into XR glasses. Once Google realizes that XR glasses are an actual thing and people use them, and they accommodate the interface accordingly, there's just no comparison.

On Google fixes Pixel Watch step overcounting bug, but there's a catch ·
Actually, consider yourself lucky. They are trying to fix all the bugs on the regular update before it hits the LTE watches.

On 5 months later, the Pixel Watch 4’s GPS is still my favorite upgrade ·
I agree. I've bought and sold every pixel watch and finally, the pixel 4 is the one I'll keep. It's comfortable, accurate, and the battery life and fast charging are excellent 👍
