First of all, these protocols don’t allow for backdoors

Doesn’t matter, tbh. The entire problem of giving governments (or whoever) a backdoor is that there’s no way to make it only available to the “good guys”.

If Apple and co did put in backdoors to satisfy the Brits, the first thing every other government on earth would do is legislate itself access to the backdoor.

With or without a proper backdoor, this law breaks the tech.

Hard disagree. Back in its early days, Google was genuinely decent. They competed by building better stuff than everyone else, and that’s it.

There was no decent free email and no free maps before Google. You used to have to pay hundreds for decent mapping software.

The good old Web 2.0 days, when companies were falling over themselves to provide free APIs and see what people could do with them.

Google started going to shit when they brought out Android and everybody started trying to build walled gardens, and went full evil when that moral vacuum Pichai took over.

I hear he’s lost a bunch of money. That’s a definite positive in my book.

Yeah. It’s the mechanism that defines a vaccine, not when it’s administered.

It trains you own T-cells to recognise the cancer cells, so it’s a vaccine.

I haven’t touched the thing in three years.

I just remember that it had pace where it should have average speed. That is all.

Now go away. I’m not interested in defending myself to someone like you, who’s been nothing but nasty.

That’s not the Vivoactive cycling app.

Nah you’re right and this person has obviously never used a Garmin.

You mean that you didn’t bother to read my comment properly before personally attacking me. Let me guess, you’re from Reddit.

I only cycle, so I couldn’t comment on the other apps.

They were Vivoactives. They had pace, not average speed.

Regardless of what the focus of the watch is, the cycling app should show cycling stats.

It’s incredibly low effort to get something so basic wrong.

I said average speed. Learn to read.

Apple Watch.

I had a couple of Garmins before and the difference is night and day. The Apple Watch isn’t perfect, but it’s clear that a lot of thought went into it.

The Garmins on the other hand, were lowest of low effort.

They blatantly didn’t talk to even a single cyclists while building their cycling app.

Cyclists use average speed, not pace. Even the junkiest $3 cycle computer from Ali Baba gets this right, but not Garmin. They just copy-pasted the running screen.
