The promo video looks like to be shot in Prague, but feels somehow 'off', does it have some ai edits?


From wiki:

* born with cerebral palsy

* adopted, parents separated while 2 mths old, raised only by his mother

* his mother disabled since he was 13, had to assume financial responsibility for her and his then 2yr old sister

That must have been a very difficult life, hats off to him.

Unlike other commenters, I do not mind the ai-ness of this app. This is a quick solution to a problem that we should not have had in the first place.


They launch from Guiana afaik


French Guiana to be exact, which is a different country


Edit: Misread


They meant French Guiana is a different country to Guyana... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guianas


How can you verify, that the model that you are buying is the one that you are actually getting?


You basically can't. This episode from Syntax[0] shows one provider that he tried to go through to showcase this, and he was fairly certain it wasn't Claude, but of course that was all speculation on his part.

^ Great observation.

I have a Garmin Fenix 8, but if it would not have a flashlight, vibration alarm and sleep tracking, I'd happily swap it for a mechanical watch as a daily driver.

(obviously still using the Garmin for workouts)


How do you like the AMOLED screen? I have a Fenix 6, which has the old screen. While it doesn't have a flashlight, I'm very happy with the ability to toggle the backlight on with a single button, which is more than enough for me to see in the dark where I'm going.

I feel that I'm lucky as my Fenix 6 still works as I would not want to switch to an AMOLED screen, which draws too much power to be kept on 24/7.


I would have preferred the old one because of battery life. I wear watch to know the time by just glancing on it, so always on is a must for me. It looks nice though.

Still, even with always on, I do 4-5 days between charges with normal use. I recommend watch face 'portal hybrid', which seems to have a slightly lower refresh rate (who cares), but you gain a day of battery compared to stock.


Kinda curious why You didn't go for the Fenix 7 / 7Pro line? AFAIK the "big" addition on the 8 was phonecalls/microphone on the watch and some increased water resistance for diving. All that for maybe 200-300USD price hike.


I actually had Fenix 6 before and did and impulsive upgrade to Fenix 8 while diving on holidays. I'm very happy with it, including the microphone, sometimes even use it to take calls, it is surprisingly handy when e.g. holding a kid in one hand.


Recently I was shopping for curtains. Even though the shop I found has great reviews and a physical showroom with a real person, I took my business elsewhere when the web looks like this: https://en.vorhangbox.ch/curtain-home-consultation/ .

Why would you do this to your business? I always found generic photobank stuff to be the worst, but apparently the bar can go lower.


So how did the website of the place you moved to looks like?

I don't understand what is so wrong with that website. I don't love it, I don't have it either. If you were looking for a business that makes websites and you don't like their website I would understand, but this is not the case here.


The creepy ai slop woman?


> Why would you do this to your business?

Maybe they hired someone to get a website and they were sold this AI slop?

I've seen a lot of SMB in my area get terrible AI slop websites recently. After looking at the footer some "web agency" sold them. They claim to sell "hand crafted, no framework" websites, but it looks super terrible.


Many small businesses have websites made by a nephew or similar - and I’d expect lots of them love using AI now.
