Consumerlab is great for this. They test for heavy metal content and accuracy of nutrition labels. They've only tested 4 algae-based ones and they all passed. Carlson, DEVA, and Ovega are the brands they looked at (two from Carlson) with DEVA being their "top pick"
Or catch itself that it's hallucinating? I feel like humans would do that a fair bit.
How often do we sit somewhere thinking about random scenarios that won't ever happen and are filled with wild thoughts and sometimes completely out of the world situations.. then we shake our heads and throw away the impossible from that thought train and only use what was based in reality
It never ceases to amaze me how blatantly incompetent Google is when it comes to software, blind and stupid is not hyperbole, the proper thing to do here is absolutely crystal clear, users are begging for it (I know, I've googled trying to find a desktop solution that works and doesn't cost $5/month ffs), and they just keep releasing pieces of crap over and over. It's hard to believe this is real life sometimes.
You're talking about company, you expect coherent product vision/strategy of a single entity.
Reality is that all these products are result of autonomy given to teams - it's not really pushed top-down, so new 'innovative' ideas are spearheaded and pushed up for strategy's adoption.
Are you actually calling out arguably the most successful web software company of all time (primarily through search and adwords) for being incompetent? A company that profits billions a...quarter?
Maybe chat just doesn't make them any money so they don't really give a shit and all of these things are pet projects that get shut down on a whim?
The key to Google is that their real Users are advertisers. That's it. The "users" you're talking about are the product they're selling to their real Users(Advertisers).
Boom. This is why Slack and Discord expand so much. Usability plus availability. Sad people at Google get paid a lot of money to not figure these simple things out. Know your enemy and then reimplement their work in your own better way. Allo needed a desktop client and the video stuff should of been built in stop trying to copy Apple in that regard.
honestly, i don't they they were aesthetic enough. everyone I saw was incredibly ugly. I think most smart watch companies had this problem and by the time some had solved it, the novelty had worn off.
I bought a second hand moto 360 and got tired of having to charge it and my phone for what was practically the same return.
Obviously this is your opinion, but I will counter with mine..
I think the Pebble Time Steel [0][1] is actually the only good looking fully-functional smartwatch on the market, even to this day..
The Apple Watch looks like a wrist computer (yeah I know), and most of the other ones out there are either HUGE (I'm not into massive watch faces), or also look clunky and un-appealing. Or they are very blatantly "sport watches". I want a watch I can wear to work (where I have to dress up somewhat), or wear out at night..
Combine that with once-a-week charging, and I'm still super sad that mine will one day stop working and there won't be anything I can do about it. :-(
I have a Huawei Watch which is round, all-black and has a black steel band [0]. It fits in at work or basically any social situation. I ended up building my own watch face, which is quite subtle and mostly black. Mainly bought it because it was the first round one I liked (round, without 'flat tire' LCD).
Primarily use for seeing my agenda and message notifications, and to see the time.
It's AMOLED. I can get somewhere between 1.75 and 2.75 days, depending on how much I actively use it (and presumably, how much my movements cause the full face to light up). According to Watchmaker, my face has an OPR [1] of 5.5% bright, and 1.3% dim (idle) mode, and I leave it in 'always on' mode (where it is in the 'dim' mode most of the time). If you use a watchface with more stuff on the screen, battery decreases. If you change the face to turn off instead of dim, you get a lot more.
I've never had trouble getting through a full day and most days it has 50-60% left. If I'm not wearing it, I stick it on the charger (magnetic) which is always sitting beside my bed. I will say if I travelled a lot, the extra hassle of worrying about charging it and not forgetting/losing the charger would probably make me not bother with it, but I only am away for more than a night a handful of times a year (and either bring the charger, or wear a different non-smart watch).
Agree, but I think they were getting better in the later models. I use a pebble se with a eulit palma pacific watch band and it blends away very well compared to the original pebble. I’m actually afraid of switching to an Apple Watch since it’ll be heavier.
How do they communicate when placed Infront of a computer? I see the appeal of snap with the younger crowd but the fact that it lives in a phone seems like a major con, sure it's easily fixed by allowing browser access. As someone who grew up on MSN & ICQ I couldn't imagine having to stop what I'm doing to pick up my phone every time I want to message someone.
I would say "computer people" ie spend a significant portion of their time on a computer with a physical qwerty keyboard tend to use FB messenger to chat or discord if they play games.
My preference is probably steam chat. The new signal desktop is a dumpster fire.
Most people in my age group simply don't spend very much time in front of a computer. Their phone is their portal to the internet and has generally everything they're looking for.
Pretty interface, easy to use, voice is pretty low latency (although I miss my mumble server), and it uses ~80mb of ram to sit in like 5 groups, which while not fantastic blows "rather open it in chrome" slack out of the water.
New signal desktop instantly uses 200mb and has to "loading messages" for 3s every single startup :(
It's not buggy for you? The tab on the left is always glitching out on me, and things just simply don't work like they should, whether I'm using Firefox or Chrome. It incorrectly says "<so and so> is typing..." when the person is typing in a different subchat.
On the whole, for a product proudly marketing itself as a Slack replacement, it does a terrible job actually providing the same functionality.
I'm a strong believer of crypto and see it as a much needed distribution of wealth. It really seems like good people are finding great ways to spend their money. Rather than locking it all up in a bank account somewhere.
