Music assistant has Spotify connect integration, so if you have a Spotify connect device, maybe you can use voice command -> regular Spotify Integration -> music assistant Spotify connect device?

Polar and withings are the only ones left. Polar has better biometrics tracking. Withings is a style brand. A guy does a to. of comprehensive heart rste comparisons with the Polar H10 gold standard ECG. He also now does sleep tracking correlations with EEG.
Sadly that is it. Some guys in India I believe just released an open source HealthyPi Move, which is getting closer.
You can also take the route of buying a supported watch by Gadgetbridge which at the very least will get rid of the data mining and constant location tracking of some non-EU smart watches.
Withings, sadly has absolutely horrific heart rate tracking. This guy does correlation tests with the Polar H10 (skip to the graphs).
And I say this whenever this comes up in this sub.
Nothing is European in name only. They only have UK marketing. They have american investors, a shady CEO with a history of lying about his companies (oneplus "starup" BBK controversy anyone?) and everything is designed, coded, manufactured, tested, etc... in China.
They have started to maybe hire some people to possibly take over a bit of the phone design in the future in London, but the smartwatch is 100% a Chinese product. It even looks exactly like the standard ODM smart watches from the dozen Chinese companies that make all of the generic smart watches that get rebranded.
He meant absolutely no free speech, maybe.
Interesting, my girlfriend's friend bought a FP4 because she wanted an eco-friendlyish phone that would last a long time and she says it has been the worst phone of her life with tons of bugs, super slow specifically over 4G, mediocre camera, android auto works badly, etc...
(She uses android, not /e/ or calyx)
I want so hard to believe, but there are just as many reports of it being very bug ridden as positive reviews, so it is difficult, since the negative ones always seem to be detailed and specific.
I would also consider a pixel for graphene, but no SD card and 128GB or 256GB internal memory only is a deal breaker. My SD card + flash in my current phone is already at 245GB
Asbestos is kind of a wonder material.
Easy to manufacture in complex shapes, inert (acid resistant, so great for chemical pipes), flame retardant, great insulator, and fairly cheap.
Shame that it causes really bad cancer...
I have a few of those from 2nd hand stores, but they are getting harder to find. It definitely wouldn't triple the cost new though, maybe 50% more or something, but I only have 10 or so now.
There are a ton of 2nd hand jars with just glass+glads with no fastening mechanic and sloped lips so 3rd party clamps or clips don't work on them, so they can't be held shut. Only good for storing dry grains and stuff.
It definitely is a waste, but companies have spent millions of euros in packaging design to make it that way so you buy more.
Me too, the problem is, there is no way to judge quality effectively until you wear the clothes for a long time.
Just because it is made here in the EU, doesn't mean it is good quality. Tons of shit quality at a high price things exist.
For example couches. There are plenty of 5000€ couches that sink and degrade as fast or faster than ikea 500€ couches. It is a crapshoot for finding actual good quality like couches used to be.
Watch out. A lot of controversy over rustdesk because they do some strange things and route all traffic through their server in China or something.
(Not up to date on it, just have heard it many times in passing, worth looking in to)
I am an electronics engineer, so I work a lot with sensitive components. You basically only need them for a few static sensitive IC's, or when doing production where you handle many many PCBs that may or may not have sensitive components. Generally you only need a desk mat OR an ESD strap OR ESD shoes/heelstrap + an ESD floor (unless you are in a cleanroom) You discharge yourself every time you touch the mat at all.
Pretty much every modern MCU and almost all ICs have ESD diodes on the pins, so they are much more difficult to kill than 10-20 years ago.
Modern computers have so much protection in them that even with an ESD gun, it can be difficult to kill them. Electroboom and LTT did a decent video about it where they tried really hard to kill a PC with static and it took a lot of effort.
Yeah I need an SD card. I have ~160 GB on photos, videos, and a pretty decent music library synced to my other devices via syncthing. My current system apps (no games, just utility apps and messaging caches) + music streaming downloads (18GB) are 87GB. That is right on the boundary of internal storage if I don't take any more pictures or add any more local music.
Just android alone is 21 GB, but yeah if someone doesn't take photos or videos, doesn't listen to much music, and doesn't play any phone games, 128 or 256 is probably more than needed.
