Wann iOS-Integration mit der #Pebble und #PineTime? 🤪

Nachgebaute Apple Watch verbindet sich mit iPhones

Random #pinetime question: so my pinetime bugged out yesterday: first screen frozen, then glitching, then assumably stuck in bootloader when I resigned to letting the battery drain. Read online that this happens sometimes... but then this morning it was just working again? (Which I'm glad about, but also weirded out by...)

In case anyone reads this, how often does this tend to happen? I'd like to use it mainly as a step counter, but that does mean it needs to work pretty consistently.

When I get a chance, I'll read up how I can maybe get a log file to report the issue. Until then, let's hope it doesn't glitch again.

The heartrate sensor on the #pinetime its something, as soon as you start moving it badically never gets your pulse anymore.

This is on #InfiniTime eith the kost recent version.

Is #waspos any better?

Over migreren van iPhone en iWatch naar #Fairphone met e/OS en (bijvoorbeeld) een #PineTime watch. Interessant artikel dat me wat geruststelt over het naderend afscheid nemen van mijn Apple spullen. Maar ik hik er toch nog ff tegenaan...

Not Friday anymore, but my #FreeCADFriday was about getting some #QualityOfLife things together.

Got my rotating hanging bar up again after a small redesign of the bearing holders. Also designed and #3DPrinted an end stop for my nieces' hang bar since they're worried that it'll fall out of the bearing.

Haven't had my #PineTime on my arm for a few days since the strap broke. Printed a small loop in ASA and cut the zip flap off a discarded rain jacket to make myself a new one.

#FreeCAD #DIY

alternatively, does anyone happen to know how “complicated” the #PineTime charger is? maybe I can just apply 5 V to the two terminals if I can find a source of that here?

@Elantris Eine #pinetime oder #pinetimePro könnte passend sein: https://pine64.org/devices/pinetime/

Recently purchased some pine time watches, specifically for my kids. It was so nice that they just worked out of the box, no accounts, no privacy policies to accept.

And it does just what I need it to do, time, alarm, and a few bonuses.

Why not get an analog or digital watch, most suck these days, and the kids relentlessly want "smart watches" like their friends.

#pine64 #pinetime

@cynical13 I have two #Pinetime smartwatches. One died after a year or so, one after one week (!). To this day, @pine64eu ghosts these warranty cases. We also had to trash a now broken #PinePower USB charging station. My #Pinephone is still working though. But the quality is pretty subpar.

For a while, I had a #PineTime watch. It worked... fine, but there were definite limitations.

The charger stopped reliably charging it and I couldn't get it to sync back up to my phone.

That kind of killed my interest in smart watches in general and in #Pine64 specifically.

It seems like Pine decided that what they had was good enough and they haven't really worked to improve anything since. Their webpage is still copyrighted 2022.

How about on my #PineTime watch?

#Pine64

Looks like I've got 5,000 steps in today. #PineTime

Ubuntu MATE is on the lookout for a new maintainer, running Sonic Unleashed

A couple of years ago I forgot to take off my #PineTime smart watch when bouldering. Smashed it hard against one of he holds and cracked the screen. It's still working fine, but it's a little annoying.

Figured that I'd get a new one once this one finally gives up.

Now there's a #PineTimePro in the works and as soon as that's out it's very likely I'll upgrade. Or maybe stick to the simplicity of the OG. Or go back to #BangleJS. Who knows... The new watch from #Pine64 seems interesting at least.

PineTime Pro will be a bigger, faster, more capable open source smartwatch

More than six years after Pine64 introduced a cheap smartwatch designed to run open source firmware, the company is preparing to launch a new model. The PineTime Pro isn’t a replacement for the original PineTime (which is still available for $27). But it brings a bunch of upgrades that could make it a better platform for users that want a better screen or support for more complex […]

My #BangleJS2 #smartwatch finally broke. Before that I used #PineTime. Here in the UK, both are now really tough to buy or way higher in price than what I can ideally afford. I have used these primarily so I'd get notifications when I'm needed by my partner, who I care for. Anyone know of a good value #FOSS #smartwatch that I've somehow missed news of? #AskMastodon #AskFedi #HiveMind

@geekland

I really just want something that can adequately record if I'm asleep or awake and that can also send notifications from my (preferably #MobileLinux) phone.

That's it.

I'm guessing that's a combo of SPO2,(?) heartrate and movement sensors.

I got bit hard by one of only 2 proprietary apps I had installed for sleep tracking. This could help break that dependency, as long as there's some FOSS app out there with a decent algo for turning these sensors into sleep data.

PineTime Pro is an open source smartwatch with an OLED display and GPS

Pine64 is a company that produces inexpensive single-board computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones designed to run open source software, usually aimed at developers and open source enthusiasts.

In response to the current RAM shortage, the company has paused production of some devices, including the PinePhone, PineNote, and PineTab2. But the company is also introducing a new device: The […]

I'm not wearing my #PineTime today since the battery is low and the charging cable broke. I had to order a new one and it's going to take a couple of days for it to get here.

For reasons that are too complicated to delve into, I have found myself in possession of a PineTime FOSS smart watch.

What exciting things shall I do with it?

It's never going to replace my rather lovely Tissot automatic, which though neither Smart nor digital is a really clever traditional timepiece. #PineTime
