AFAIK you don’t need to install anything to reverse the scrolling direction. Although the natural one is much better when you use the trackpad.

jbj · 2 years ago

you are correct. however this allows you to keep touch pad scrolling separate from mousewheel scrolling that will otherwise be tied together

Especially on my phone I have actively disabeled all spelling control, and successively suggestive typing.

writing a sentence while making it, I feel too much the words are being forced on me.

Where as it can be a great tool, I like to exercise my mind, the same reason I calculated all Matrix determinants with pen and paper when I started my engineering degree.

Some people may go to the gym and work out, but I am like to just squeese in exercise within my bicyle commute.

Sometimes there may be greater projects requiring more heavy tech, but for housekeeping I honestly dont mind harvesting the synergies of planning and doing things by myself.

Anyone got a recommendation for fitness wearables where you can opt out of having to sign up with an account, and can export data out of it in open/standard formats?

jbj · 3 years ago

I am pretty sure you can use the sports tracking functions in garmin without an account, if not, at least without connecting the watch to a phone. You just need to connect with usb to copy the activity file (.fit) which can be converted to tsv.

regarding the passive tracking I dont have a clue

I am a long time Garmin user, and sync to runalyze, when paired with a hear rate chest strap, they also calculate a breathing rate

This is really cool! Would be great to see how things like meditation and anxiety attacks fare over time. I know the Apple Watch can also do ECG. Wonder if they expose similar data to get similar measures

jbj · 3 years ago

dont you need to hold both hands on the watch to get this from apple?
