And what if the windshield cracks due to temperature fluctuations? It happens. And on a rental car? Not my problem.

Windshields crack sometimes. Tough titties. It's a giant pane of fragile glass exposed to the elements.

If it's clearly not malicious, then yes, they should suck it up and pay for it. That's cost of doing business.

A pebble flung up from a passing car cracked my van's windshield the other day.

It's easy to armchair quarterback when you have the benefit of hindsight.

Go ride a motorcycle and then come back and tell us how many pebbles got enough in your direction, despite following at safe distances. I can assure you that you will be very surprised.

I do think, like you that having some into IS useful and in that no government Left or rRght leaning should have your ior my nfo.

Yeah, data mining is a huge deal for a reason haha. I use Gadgetbridge for my Pinetime, which is nice. Steps, battery, heart rate - and it's all locally stored.

Yes, I am projecting, I will fully admit that. Which is why, as a watch person, I went with a smart watch solution that doesn't mine my data.

[–] lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 months ago

Ahh, that makes sense.

[–] lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 months ago

I agree wholeheartedly. I like my watches. I also recognize that many others don't.

Interesting. I've never had an issue with it over multiple insurances. Maybe it's just the plans my employers went with ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Same, I loved my Pebble Time Steel. I still do, and I still wear it sometimes (still got a week long battery life), but my daily driver is my PineTime.

I have a decent sense of time

I don't lol. I mean can check outside, even out in the middle of nowhere, and have a rough idea; but I like knowing it because that's just how my brain works.

and an abundance of options to verify it

Sure. Phone, computer, microwave, oven, TV, wall clock, city clock tower, someone else's watch, etc. But again, I like having it right on my wrist. I've worn watches by my own choice since I was a kid, and now I've got a small collection.

Pine64's Pinetime is pretty close. I use one. I like it.
