@marcoarment @caseyliss maybe give Strava a try.
I started with it and never switched to the Apple workout app. Smart start and stop when the workout is done and you can export GPX files to stitch if you have to combine workouts.
Free version is more than enough for your needs.
Watched WarGames with the kids. Very apropos these days.
Still a great movie.
Marco ArmentI have been a Macintosh user for quite some time now and I have never, not once, not a single time, correctly distinguished "brew update" from "brew upgrade" on the first try
“I don’t give a s*%t about water being cold” says man whose kids have been home from school for a week because of frozen water. 😄 Love the energy @caseyliss
PS - if we wanted to pick things to hate about Americans the measurement systems you use are way down on the list. Canadians use a mix as well due to our proximity. e.g. baking, home renovations, height, and lake and pool temperature for some reason

Martin SeegerThis is a valuable lesson for any manufacturer: never awaken the nerd sleeping inside your customer, because his wrath shall be terrible.
In this case the warning was quite literal.
The company annoyed a buyer enough to push him into full blown nerd mode. He tore the product apart, reverse engineered every part, and then published a step by step guide showing exactly how to disable "kill switch" that prevented the use of the product without the vendor spying on the user.
What started as a minor grievance became a public, technical exposé that left the maker exposed and embarrassed.
Moral of the story: underestimate your users at your own peril.
The Day My Smart Vacuum Turned Against Me
Update: This post seems to have struck a nerve and went very wide. As I will not be able to answer every comment, I want to add a few points:
- The linked article was not written by me. It came to me on a different channel (Discord). I only wrote the post on Mastodon.
- The top image in the article looks AI generated. It is no a good image, but in my view less irritating than an advertisement (which is far more common).
- Some people suggest the article itself is AI generated. I don't think this is the case. I wouldn't rule out he author wrote the text in a different language and used AI for translation assistance.
- The claims in the article are not fully backed by the linked repo, but the general statement is correct and IMHO important.
The Day My Smart Vacuum Turned Against Me
Would you allow a stranger to drive a camera-equipped computer around your living room? You might have already done so without even realizing it. The Beginning: A Curious Experiment It all started innocently enough. I had recently bought an iLife A11 smart vacuum—a sleek, affordable, and technologically advanced robot
Fantastic fall ride up to Nobleton.
Why we have terrible traffic. If you can drive, the experience is as fast and so much better than transit for most. https://apple.news/Ak0LfcHPTRviSrxDhh85TTQ
