Firefox supports extensions on Android. It's the main reason to use it

@MarcSpctr Месяц назад

seriously. Used to use Chrome, and it is really sh!t. No real time syncing, no extensions, etc So then when Edge launched with that BING AI search, that time I shifted to Edge, so atleast I have proper synced tabs. But then Firefox just brought proper extension support on Android. and since then there is just no looking back, syncing works flawlessly as well between devices. It's just so great.

@TimeLagGaming Месяц назад

Still baffles me that the biggest tech people on the internet don’t know you can use an Apple Watch completely stand alone, not synced to anything. I synced my watch once during set up with a friends phone and I haven’t done it in over a year. I don’t own a phone. Everything syncs up with my iPad including health data, iMessage, music, podcast, etc.

@tomgillotti Месяц назад

Tried this with my son’s watch and couldn’t do basic things like sleep tracking, using RU-vid music, and more. Frustrating that the iPad can’t do everything the iPhone can with the watch.

I know 99% dont care, but Im mad at how hard it is to find an Android phone that works with a usb to hdmi adapter. All iphones can do it. It varies so much for each brand. 5 oneplus phones in my house do not work, maybe newer ones do? My old lg v30 does work. The flagship samsungs work i think. None of the pixels work. Except for the 8 i think because google was turning it on. I dont need samsung dex, just want to mirror my screen without wifi or lag.

Get cellular, throw my phone in the garbage, and take calls, send texts, listen to music, open maps, track my workouts, run my schedule, etc. ALL on my wrist. All the tech is there, why I still have to pay for a phone plan is insane to me

Why would you use an apple watch if you only care about time and health metrics?? There's a whole brand built around that... And garmin even does a good job of it. And both are less expensive.

@cactustweeter2890 Месяц назад

Consumer electronics companies need to make products that differentiate themselves from competitors. This insistence that they must also make their products compatible with competitor devices is ridiculous and does not make good business sense in many cases.

@dominic.j Месяц назад

It's an iPhone accessory and always have been. Why would anyone buy it expecting it to work with a different device? I don't understand why people just don't buy an Android watch if you have an Android phone.

@StaminaMC Месяц назад

Perhaps because they’ve shown us that it can - the watch already works with Macs (granted, in a VERY basic way) to auto-unlock from sleep, authorise software installs instead of typing a password, and even to Apple Pay for purchases. So wanting _(not expecting)_ just as ‘basic’ connectivity elsewhere isn’t totally outlandish. 😊

The problem with needing a phone is an issue that all people with preteens are having... They want a way to communicate with their kids when they are not home but don't want to have to buy a phone to go with a watch. This is a problem for both apple watch and Android watches. Families want a way to get an LTE watch without the need for an additional device.

@wavetraced Месяц назад

No parent is having this issue. You can sync multiple LTE Applewatches for your kids or whomever with one iPhone.

@deezeejoey Месяц назад

@@wavetraced from what I've been told, if you sync it all up the same phone then all the source phone's text messages show up on all the watches. I could be wrong.

Thing is that aside from the Apple ecosystem integrations Apple Watch is a mediocre sports/health/fitness watch with relatively poor battery life compared to e.g. Fitbit and Garmin (the one exception being its superior ecg functionality). So honestly, I don't get being mad about not being able to pair Apple Watch to an Android.

@StaminaMC Месяц назад

Those who own one are okay with the perceived mediocrity, though. So even if not a selling point to go get one it can still be an additional reason to keep one for those that have ‘em, I guess.

@ILoveGrilledCheese Месяц назад

Mediocre is unfair. If you’re comparing it to devices specifically designed for metrics then yes. But if you compare it to direct competitors it’s actually superior.

apple watch would be a nice device if they finally made it round and didn't have 3 applications on the phone to use it effectively. and now it's just a smart bracelet. with poor design.
