#pebble — Public Fediverse posts

Trading the Galaxy Watch8 for a Core Pebble Time 2.

After years of “standalone” features that were just too clunky to use, I am moving back to the open ecosystem that started it all. Why?

- 30-day battery (estimated) vs. 30 hours
- No more charger-hunting
- Digital sovereignty & ease of dev
- Physical buttons for the win

It is time to stop charging the watch every night and get back to basics. ⌚️🔓

Everyone seems to be getting their new #pebble except me. So Rockpool for #sailfishos is going to have to wait until I do, especially as the official app has stopped even trying to use BLE with the og watches. I guess the more stable they get that, the less work I have to do to replicate it on a proper operating system.

Lilbits: Pebble Time 2 smartwatch adds touchscreen app support, entry-level Pixel 11 could have less RAM than Pixel 10

Before the Apple Watch or Samsung Galaxy Watch, there was Pebble. The pioneering smartwatch brand disappeared for a while after it was acquired by Fitbit… which was later acquired by Google. But last year Pebble founder Eric Migicovsky launched a new company called Core Devices and revived the brand.

For the most part, new Pebble-branded watches are a lot like the ones that shipped a decade […]

I'm not excited about putting on my #PixelWatch anymore. I can't wait for my #Pebble Time 2 to arrive in the next month or so. I really want to try out all the cool new apps and watch faces that have flooded into the store.

6/6 I feel like a goober wearing two watches, but it's what you do for data comparisons. I am going to switch arms because I worry the left vs right might be throwing off the data.

1/6 Pebble vs Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic: some early thoughts.

First thing that hits you: the weight. Samsung is 63.5g, Pebble is 33g. That difference is incredibly noticeable. After wearing the Samsung for years, the Pebble feels like nothing on the wrist. Genuinely surprising how much of a difference 30g makes.

My Skagen Jorn (= Fossil) hybrid watch is dying from eroded charging pads, but TIL Pebble Time Round is enhanced and manufactured again. Just preordered one at $224 (including shipping to Germany). https://repebble.com/watch. No cloud, no internet connection required, perfect fit for a #di_day, 100% #opensource.

Lilbits: Arm’s first silicon, Chuwi’s not-quite-apology, and Pebble’s Time 2 smartwatch ships soon

Arm has just introduced a new processor for data centers. There’s nothing too unusual in that statement… except that for the first time the chip designer is actually making its own processor. The company has been licensing its designs to third party chip makers for decades, but the new Arm AGI CPU is an Arm-branded processor that Meta plans to use in data centers.

Lilbits: Pebble smartwatches, Linux 7.0, and the uncertain future for Lenovo Legion Go graphics drivers

If you’ve got a PC that works, there’s not that much reason to worry about getting frequent driver updates unless you want to plug in some currently unsupported hardware. But if you’ve got a gaming PC, then frequent driver updates can be pretty important, as NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel often tweak graphics drivers to add support for new games and improve performance for existing titles.

Lilbits: If you’re not paying for it, you’re not the customer

Folks have been making a rather persuasive argument for decades that if you watch “free” TV that’s supported by advertising, maybe you’re not actually the customer… advertisers are. And you’re the product they’re paying to reach.

So it was probably just a matter of time before someone took that to the next level and decided that not only should TV programs be free to watch, the TV hardware […]

@debacle @joeycastillo it looks interesting. But I've got a Bandle.js 2 for a discount (at 80 €) at last FOSDEM, and I'm very happy with it : working very well, simple, good ecosystem and easy to hack.

I'm not sure that the price difference worth it (to be compared to Core Time 2 duo to color and touch screen).

Core Time 2 has microphone/speaker and targets IPX8 (Bandlej.js 2 is IP67, so no shower or swimming), but besides that, they seem very similar.

@erebion I will. I'm carrying it right now. During the test, the screen is fixed with some tape.

Thanks for asking regarding the battery connector 😄 I was very careful and used kapton tape to isolate all contacts I wasn't working on. I think that working on the old (swollen) battery is less critical than working on the the new battery. I wasn't able to measure a voltage on the old battery. Both batteries are equipped with a protection circuit.

@Helene I'll answer this one here. ^_^

> That illustrate my main feeling on Mastodon : so many instances, I'm missing so much from all those places I will never see. And I don't have time to duplicate myself like you do, it's already too much with T2-Bluesky-Mastodon 😬

It's a good question.

At first, it appears that one is missing a lot because there are different instances or servers. However, if we consider it from the #Facebook + #Twitter + #Instagram + #Tumblr + #Goodreads + #Twitch + #YouTube + #Blogspot era/setup, it is actually the same thing.

1. Even on these non-federated platforms, for example Twitter / #X, you actually miss a lot too. Or from Facebook, you actually see only those that Facebook's algorithms want you to see (you don't even see everything from your 1st Level connections [i.e. those you added as friends and those you chose to follow are also filtered by their algorithm]).

2. If you want to follow someone using Instagram but doesn't have a presence on Twitter, you will be forced to create an Instagram account.

Or, they have a Twitter account, but they are not updating it because they chose to make Instagram their main #SNS presence.

---

This is where the #Fediverse has an advantage: you don't have to create a #Pixelfed account to follow someone who prefers to share images and photos.

Or if you want to follow a #WordPress blog, you don't have to create a #WordPressDotCom account, if they added the #ActivityPub / Fediverse add-on, you can follow them from your own fediverse account.

In the old way, you have to create an account for each platform. However, in the Fediverse way, you don't have to.

---

I have a Pixelfed and #BookWyrm account, to mention a few, for my images and #bookshelves needs. If you like to follow images I upload and/or books I've read, you can follow me at @[email protected] and @[email protected] using your existing @Helene fediverse account.

You don't have to create accounts there, like how you would for Instagram and Goodreads.

People like me, who have multiple accounts in the fediverse network, are advance users and who have specific needs and reasons.

It is like having multiple emails: I have a separate email per service/platform. I have a separate email per games.
