I think Strava is just popular due to cultural inertia more than anything. Garmin, Coros, Fitbit, Apple, even phone apps. Not really hard to export data and move. 90% of what I saw on Strava before closing the account was Zwift garbage anyway.
They could start by making an example out of a big player like formula 1.
Nah you just have innovation bias. Newer does not automatically mean better. That’s a wild take in 2026 since all of these companies have been marching towards enshitification for a decade.
Plenty of research showing that use of AI is just offloading your cognitive function. We know enough about neuroplasticity to clearly see this will impair those who use it for everything. It’s important to be challenged sometimes, the illusion of intelligence does nothing for us.
It’s definitely a surprise to most students. Not really reasonable to expect people who have never been taught tech to understand tech.
Unregulated capitalism (and probably all power systems) self-selects for mental illness. Not only do they not plan for long-term, the people running a lot of these companies are not capable of it.
Mining is such a dangerous industry still. Feel for the families, every person in a mining town knows what a loud sound can be.
Definitely some cognitive dissonance involved here but I like the overall tone.
The vast majority of the market is made by only three companies who all have dramatically raised prices. Sk Hynix, Samsung and Micron.
Mine is a newer 2X Solar. The solar definitely helps (although obviously only when the sun is out, winter training might not be similar). I have just over 40% remaining after a few weeks and like 3.5 hours of gps tracking time. Im definitely sold on the solar part. My only Apple Watch comparisons are the first few generations but HR seems similar to those (good enough to be useful but probably not as good as a real chest strap).
Part of it might be the simple screen which I like - feels like gshock.
I think the issue isn’t so much you filming runs and rides as GoPros have done that forever, but you know some people will be walking around constantly with these in public, bathrooms, classrooms, and live streaming it to the world while doing antisocial bullshit for content.
A solar Instinct can go for weeks. With gps tracking 3-5 hours a week.
Trained on existing people.
Google is an advertising company. Everything they do is about collecting data to feed their advertising arms.
Objectively their business is doing well. Their social network is clearly dropping off like most others. Real people are posting much less across the board, Reddit is turning into a passive AI fueled entertainment platform.
It’s hilarious if you believe this, the USA is a surveillance state, sure, but China is clearly not any better. They have cameras everywhere and extremely advanced surveillance tech.
Even better if the think tanks had to state their funding sources by human name in the title.
Also the system selects for mental illness so a lot of the worst offenders here literally can’t feel empathy.
Definitely gonna be restrictive contracts so manufacturers can’t sell both and forced advertising for Microsoft services like Google does with Android OEMs.
This is the real crux of the issue. Data collection and algorithmic incentives are destroying society.
Sure but at what point is it unethical to not fight back against those that do? Because let’s be honest, the GOP uses children as a political weapon constantly. Fire with fire and all that but I imagine most normal people actually are horrified by American school shootings.
