it's 'poo poo device sale' because i thought it was a touchpad and was ready to :goonsay: that's not android and
1 - it's not a touchpad
2 - i still put android on it at one point which eventually ruined the device

Okay so apparently a neighbor just got a Fitbit luxe and my Pixel 3 is trying to setup the device constantly now. Every minute I get a pop up saying to finish setup go to the playstore and download the fitbit app.

I've disabled wifi, Bluetooth, and adaptive connectivity with no luck. Nearby Share is also off.

I'm starting to get really pissed off now. There's no way to make this go away. It shows in the top of settings and says tap to setup device and it just takes me to the play store. There's no option to forget the device or anything.


An image like the below pops up every minute or so now.

i appreciate that most likely their neighbor has no idea the torment theyve inflicted and are just happily wearing around their new fitbit with no intention of pairing it to their phone

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
every interactive object is clearly defined the the active sorting column header in the list view is highlighted.

i love looking at an interface ostensibly designed to convey information for 30 seconds or more trying to find something that should be entirely obvious out of an undifferentiated mass of white space and thin horizontal/vertical lines

there’s an old architecture cliche that goes like “it’s ok to decorate a building but try to avoid building decoration” but we swung the opposite way with uber flat design where functional elements like the doorknobs and windows are intentionally hidden from the user

Excuse me, pardon me, sheer perfection coming through
on discussing that samsing flip folding screen phone

quote:

How good is this phone for playing Pokémon go on? Is the middle of the screen flush where the hinge is? I feel it would make throwing pokeballs harder. I want to grab this, but it's hard enough holding 2-3 regular phones at a time...

This is a serious post btw.

It’s fine for me. I don’t really play much anymore. When I did, Samsung phones where the best since I could play two accounts in split screen. No need to carry two phones around.

my cousin got one of those just before thanksgiving and was showing it off. two days later, he was talking about how he has to take it back to the store because the screen developed a little blob of dead pixels after bumping the screen not particularly hard. there's also a very pronounced line where the hinge is
