This meme looks ai generated.

Scam/wish text is back and some elements looks off in the picture (hand, eyes teeth…).

The thing written in the first sentence in the f-droid store. Just there go look, it’s soo hard… You also have all the codeberg link there…

More seriously, it’s a fork from infinity for reddit but for Lemmy. https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Eternity

This tech seems cool for people who may need it, or even just for fitness or other things.

But if Google is behind using the data to whatever money purpose (like selling ads), it becomes a bit bad.

Tho they would already do so with watches or other health tech connecting to their services. So 🤷. If people have already choose a Google product for health, it doesn’t change much, it’s just another cool tech to the collection.

Currently, there are some alternatives, or bluetooth versions which work pretty well.

Often wireless gaming brands offer a usb dongle. That dongle often uses a proprietary protocol over 2.4ghz. And allow enough bandwidth for audio and mic. Some brand give more or less bandwidth to the mic, or have better compression, or bandwidth.

And currently, there is a fairly “new”, already here since bt 5.3 : LC3. It’s a very well optimised protocol which allows for about the same quality at lower bandwidth than other protocol. It also has lower latency. This protocol has started to be used by gaming brands, like Creative, in a usb dongle. Or even in standalone headphones. On the Creative headset, it would allow enough bandwidth for audio and mic without much compromise (like if it wad a proprietary dongle).

Obviously the quality may not be as good as wired. But it should be enough for most people.

Huawei also seems to have announced (not sure if yet released, it should be in an honor phone), their bluetooth competitor. They say 6x faster (more bandwidth I guess) https://newatlas.com/mobile-technology/nearlink-wireless-huawei/.

The battery optimisation and app prediction (loading apps into memory so they start faster).

Charging optimisation on some phones.

And maybe other things. Can depend on the brand, software and used apps.

Am I mistaken, or did you want to say 50mbps and 10mbps? 50gbps seems way above what a wireless network can do.

For a vpn, your connection through wireless or fiber is exactly the same. The city only provides the fiber infrastructure. When you get Internet, it’s through a provider which will use their equipments and main network (they link their network to the city infrastructure, using their devices. At least, it’s how it works in France). Unless the provider is the city.

Tho I guess that providers do give data to the state so whatever the case, it would be the same thing.

Not sure where winlator 2.0 is…

I only see version 1.1.

But anyway, looks interesting, but with limited reach.
