Time zones are a problem. It will be 5am for me next time this will be open which is too early but since it opens for 3 hours, I might be able to check in for the second half of the remaining time.

This is a huge problem that could be solved by using local timezones instead of just EST.

The Xiaomi Bands are quite poor according this tester[1]. Huawei Bands are slightly better but I guess you can't complain much for the price.

The MiBand7 is fairly far on the right, based on the price. But you're right, I thought more of the Mi products where higher.

This is the second verge article I opened this month and I already hit the paywall

[nottorp → FrequentLurker]

I didn't count, but if i ever open a verge article it's from being linked to on here. And the title has to be non click baity.

So... pretty sure i don't read verge a lot either. And I get the paywall.

Except the automobile in this case only reaches the destination correctly sometimes. They are less likely to reach the destination as the path becomes longer or more complex.

Ho, boy, you should read about the 1919 Motor Transport convoy -- the military sent a team across the United States by truck and car. It took them almost two months, and over 10% of the vehicles and many of the men didn't complete the journey.
