Mostly heart rate tracking and scheduling reminders so I don't forget things. Also good for step tracking and stuff, realistically I'll just get a Garmin next time cause I still want the long battery life and that's not really a thing with Android based smart watches.

I miss when the Galaxy Watch ran Tizen instead of Android. I still have the original Galaxy Watch and the battery life is just unbeatable. Likely because it's not constantly phoning home about the most benign metrics.

I didn't see it in the article, but doesn't Ireland have comically low tax rates to start with?

I like the concept and generally it works well, unfortunately I've had to disable it because of how sluggish it can make a lot of pages feel. The playlist view in particular becomes hard to use when the extension is enabled.

Hopefully they fix stuff like that longer term so I can turn it back on.

They're looking for subsidies it seems, they're getting some pretty generous benefits from the Canadian government so might as well take advantage of it.

This article feels like it was written by an AI trying to get to a word count.

Intel's current CEO is Pat Gelsinger, he's an engineer who was the chief architect of the i486.

It's not just who's at the top, the issue is that the company has gotten too big. There's a reason why AMD with such a lower staff count has managed to leapfrog Intel.

TNT is server side, so no not really.

Yeah it's annoying as hell, wish they'd stop killing their own OS. I honestly think the first few builds of Windows 11 were a decent step in the right direction in terms of actually getting everything feeling relatively cohesive again. But the AI push and everything that happened right after release has started to let the rot creep back in again.

Next GPU I get I'm just going to run Linux as my main OS and have a VM with a GPU pass through so I can stop losing my mind.

I think this is likely to be what I saw others mention on earlier posts. Lots of enterprise or business software that hooks into the control panel.

So even if Microsoft does migrate all the Windows options over to settings there's still going to be software that uses control panel to manage their own settings.

Unless Microsoft is going to make it possible to hook into the new settings app just as easily then they're going to have to keep the old one around even though they keep crippling it.
