Repeatedly seeing the fitbit app on my pixel watch randomly decide to revise down my step count by 100-200 steps.

It's extremely fucking shit, whoever decided to show that you did say 3.1k steps so far, then you sit down and it's 2.9k, I hope you fucking step on lego

@ljs @lkundrak it's bit of a weird number, supposedly the original regulations for T-72 say 175 cm

@pony @ljs what about the british mark 1 tank? i mean, i find the idea of being totally sweaty, locked up in a small hot smoky place, loud enough so that you can only coordinate by banging a rod on the metal, controlling one side of a tank, totally disoriented, with slight carbon monoxide poisoning lowering cognitive abilities close to total idiocy, with no idea what is going on on the outside, before finally ending up stuck in a ditch, somewhat charming

@pony @lkundrak haha Czechnology I love it.

Is that basically some automated slow-speaking voice that very deliberately tells you to go fuck yourself?

@lkundrak @pony I do enjoy the parts of tank vids where they say 'don't put your arm there or it'll get broken'

That must have been a fun place to work. Still better than the startup I was at...

@lkundrak @ljs that "turret" supposedly had like a quarter of space inside taken by a ventilation system to prevent the crew from suffocating from the shell propellant fumes after firing of the gun

@ljs have not noticed so far. it has felt pretty reliable to me :-) if i would really want to put cash to training watch I would go for something from Suunto.

My Casio looks rad too: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B09C65FS32?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

And its data connects to Apple's app ecosystem (can upload through bluetooth) so have been happy :-)

@ljs Some day I might invest one of these with some bad excuse related of doing exercise, absolutely premium in training watches ;-) https://www.suunto.com/en-gb/Product-search/See-all-Sports-Watches/
