Some guy with a computer. Ok, a lot of computers.
I recently switched to using GadgetBridge with my Fossil Hybrid. It was a little annoying to set up, but it works.
I had an LG smartwatch that was rectangular.
I had a Fossil Wear OS smartwatch, I liked it but I barely used any of its features. Basically, I’d use it to notify me of messages and then I could see whether or not to pick up my phone.
I sold it and bought a Fossil hybrid (Collider HR) and I love that thing. The battery lasts about 2 weeks and people always think it’s so cool that it has physical hands.
It shows me whenever I get a message or calendar notification (or whatever notifications I want) and that’s all I care about.
I haven’t looked at the newer generation of watches, but I don’t think I’d upgrade or anything.
I also have other Fossil stuff, like belts. They make cool stuff, but they’ve always been a fashion brand first before a tech brand.
If they stop making smartwatches, are there any other brands that make good hybrid, eink watches?
Also, the article just mentioned they’d stop making Wear OS devices so maybe they’ll still make the hybrid watches?
I didn’t realize people still used AdBlock Plus, or that it even still existed.
I’d suggest the Firefox extension libredirect. Automatically redirects Twitter, Instagram, Reddit and more to alternative front-ends.

I’ve always had location history disabled. I plan to keep it disabled.
What about Lenovo tablets?
Love my Zenfone 8! I’ve had no issues with it, though I think ASUS did just stop updates for it.
Niagara Launcher is great. I used to use Nova, but found myself only using one home screen page and only like one widget. Niagara does take some getting used to, but I also suggest giving it a try.
Some ThinkPads. I have coreboot on my T430, but I don’t think my X270 can run it.
Love my Zenfone 8 :-)
Fair enough. I’m running FLauncher on an Nvidia Shield TV Pro, not on the TV itself.
I recommend giving FLauncher a shot: https://gitlab.com/flauncher/flauncher :-)
Yes, there are a few ways to do it. You need to have logged into the Fossil app with an email/password, it didn’t seem to work with “login with Google.”
I used a python script that I ran on my computer that got the private key from the Fossil servers.

NOTE: You need to add the private key before pairing with GadgetBridge, if you add it after then it won’t work.
