@BillW6251 I am not a runner but I did take it on a handful of 5mi+ bike rides, compared to Apple Watch and Garmin chest-mounted heart rate sensor + 830 bike computer. Galaxy Watch accurate for heart, off by about 5% on GPS. As for steps, can't say I wore two watches for the week, sry! — PolitiTweet.org

What's baffling is that when it comes to Wear OS 3 watches, the great hope for Android users who want just a competent smartwatch, the Galaxy Watch 4 ...is it right now. It's totally unclear when a non-Samsung watch will be released. — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

But if you're NOT a Samsung Galaxy user, the Galaxy Watch's Android compatibility is only halfway there. You will need to install lots of Samsung apps on your phone to take full advantage of it, move some of your digital life (esp health) into the Samsung garden. — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

Sincerely, if you're a Samsung Galaxy user and intend to stay one, I can't emphasize enough what a breath of fresh air it is to have a good smartwatch on Android, one with an app ecosystem and a future. One that's responsive and full-featured. — PolitiTweet.org

I reviewed the Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 4 classic. TLDR: it’s Google’s OS but Samsung’s watch. Samsung apps are the default for most things, difficult or impossible to change. Very good watches! But only for Samsung users. Bixby’s the captain now. https://t.co/7bckOvimAZ — PolitiTweet.org

Remember how there was a big monopoloy case against Microsoft in the 90s about browser bundling and then later Apple said no third party browser engines allowed on iOS and everybody was like “hm let’s see how this goes” and it was and is very obvious how it would go and is going? — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

Sometimes I wonder if it’s weird to discuss both User Interface and also monopoly policy in the same episode of The Vergecast and the answer is that they are often the same thing. — PolitiTweet.org

Microsoft’s statement about the change is from oppositeland. Just baldy pretending it’s doing something that makes it easier for consumers to choose when in fact it’s doing things that make it harder. https://t.co/0oHuUZnvqw — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

This is some shady dark pattern garbage, Microsoft. Not only is it making it hard to change the default browser in Windows in several different ways, it’s also STILL ignoring that (now harder to set) default and throwing you to Edge too often. https://t.co/UvdkiFIw1Q — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

@allisonjo1 However, there are no carrier partners for the 5A and limited regions of availability. Which means Google will sell about 46 of them. Which makes me wonder why it …made this phone? — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

Pixel 5A AAAYYY. @allisonjo1 with the full review and video. Google finishes the job it started with the 3A and 4A, checking the last boxes of the basics you want in an all-arounder cheapish midrange. Is it exciting? Nah? Is it easy to recommend? Yah. https://t.co/5Dle9683HC — PolitiTweet.org

Might one say that Apple and Samsung have EMBRACED Bluetooth and then EXTENDED its capabilities for their platforms in order to nah nevermind everybody hates history lessons https://t.co/GCpG1y3pLl — PolitiTweet.org

Here is another chart: https://t.co/9pbx0s3xYw — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

This is a CHART of how BLUETOOTH HEADPHONES lock you in to either Apple or Samsung ecosystems. It is complicated enough that we HAD TO MAKE A CHART. For TINY WIRELESS SPEAKERS. Knowing how headphones work (or don’t) now requries a CHART. https://t.co/Wz3mv6U08P https://t.co/lR2BhVbnp4 — PolitiTweet.org
