I find them invaluable capturing my toddler. Having the spontaneous ability to record hands-free is indispensable. I do not wear it in public, however again only when it calls for capturing my toddler. Of course, I do incidentally capture strangers but I minimize this by staying close to my subject and only looking at my subject. Yeah I find it creepy but being able to be hands free and capture at great quality fast ... Indispensable.

Don't see Pholandia or anything more west? You got me salivating but I'm in SW and east is quite a trek for just pho but dang...bc of your reviews. I'm taking me familia and doing some Particularly your #1!! Thx!

PS. "DM" me if you're interested in further talk. lakota gmail

Co-conspirator. Having someone you can bounce ideas, talk through things I found to be key. Even if it means talking to your toddler :) But in all seriousness, I found that's the only method that has in the past made me make the right decisions regardless of subject. They don't need necessarily need to hold you to your commitments but just the idea of telling them what you're trying to focus on helps tremendously. Currently, not having anyone yet having moved recently. Using my therapist ;-) One thing I found; the "co-conspirator" does not need to be a subject matter expect to any level. Just someone who's willing to listen is key.

Here are things I tried to do:

   1. Having a sounding "board" person.
   2. Taking only 5sec to help you decide.
   3. Post-it the thought/idea/notion all over the house to make focus.
   4. Talking it through to yourself.  Using yourself in a 2/3rd person.

Maybe yet another AI focused idea to solely help you stay focused and on task.

I need all of this...

My observations are from doing the grandma test. Just trying to figure out how to reduce or eliminate the pain points I've observed.

Have you tried to exchange photos from iOS to Android? Also Google drive requires you to have a Gmail address.

Not well versed in all platforms but whenever I talk to others to exchange photos of events and such. It's always a tremendous pain point to figure out how/where to.

Just my observations as I am trying to figure out the most frictionless way to exchange pics.

Also reminder that each versions of iOS and Android has their own limits based on app level that tops out at their versions.

Just a big huge mess.

PS. imho. Policies don't mean jack when there is absolutely no way for you to know if they have or haven't scraped. Gmail eng already got caught using his level of access to harass ppl. And Ring /Tesla were both caught sharing what should have been private and anon videos. I understand from dev point one must be able to decrypt to debug but nevertheless, you use their service, it's theirs to do whatever they want.

Not that I'm peddling anything illegal but my family photos I've already had random files including pictures and videos that wasn't mine in my Google drive and it also wasn't wrongly shared.

CV+ML with AI now don't need human intervention to id the materials.

Yes but I'm inclined to not allow "public" cloud of personal photos. I'm almost positive all your files are being used to train AI. Not to mention nothing works on iOS except apps from aapl.

So long term, I'm thinking of private cloud and a cross platform app where its sole purpose in life is to xfer all files in a particular folder on the device to the private cloud.

Most are not tech savvy enough to setup that backup. Not to mention I'll need access to aquire.

Long list of why's.....

Yeah great question. With family members including not living with you. It's virtually impossible to backup from iPad/Phones to android phones and tablets and multitudes of PC's Linux to iOS to Wintel.

Eagerly awaiting answers from you all but for now...

  1. rsync from where I can.
  2. manually copy whenever I get the device in hand.
  3. backup cronjobs from omv server
  4. my main desktop use Timeshift
  5. LocalSend

Also trying to use Immich once I can get a stabilized build. Had to rescrape entire pic/vid family lib of 3TB multiple times.

Also cronjobs to attached USB and NAS to have backups of backups of backups.

No one seems to realize every household is a micro enterprise!

Then make matter worse, with all the tightening of security. It's harder and harder to remote into and recv/xfer files l.

I'm in a similar mindset although can't get my side project(s) going. Since 2019, my son was born, my brother died, and my mother is getting to the point where she won't be able to care for herself. We moved out of the Bayarea to my chagrin, to be closer to my wife's ageing parents in Portland. Didn't had any before, but having moved and new, it's even harder to make social connections no tech here. I feel you, and I believe you and are in the same place mentally; lacking passion, motivation, sense of belonging, purpose. I suspect maybe midlife sort of crisis? If you wanna have a convo. Ping me Lakota gmail.

Without a doubt, for self help and discovery or just want to understand people better.

I highly recommend: Hidden Brain

Where you located? I feel the very same. Have a toddler, unemployed by choice although hate the loneliness that comes putting family 1st then realize you have no mental energy, motivation for yourself. All of my friends are also busy and geolocated too far for f2f. Trying to find/figure out how to get out of conundrum. I'm the S. Bay area if you wanna connect.

TL'DR: friends..if you can find any.

I'm in the same place. After TED talks and much self guiding/discovery materials. I realize it really comes down to friends or at least someone you can confide in without judgement. Although therapist can help, but that just a guide. You still need to find friendships. I can't lose faith in humanity but omg...it's so *ukin hard. Worse for me as fulltime dad of a toddler where my times are mostly preoccupied so ideally for me. Need someone else who's going through the same.

Ex prgm mgr, coder from FAANGM now triaging my zillion side prj ideas for gold, but same..everyday is a struggle. Can't focus, lack motivation and direction.

Fasting. Without a single doubt. What you need to do is minimally 5 day water fast. This will help you correct your microbiome balance. It is hard but just the 1st day when you're depleting yourself of sugar. Then on 2nd day onwards you're on fat burn but most importantly you're in autophagy mode. Then for couple of days if you can't do longer fast, eat keto-ish meals then do it again. When on water only, make sure you get electrolytes. And btw you can drink things like coke zero and of course black coffee, tea etc. but obviously no meaningful food like carbs, fiber or protein of any kind. But your holy Grail is to correct your microbiome. Absolute worse case, you could spend that money on FMT from a very fit person . Needless to say, don't start fasting unless your doc says you can do something like it. Most doc have no clue. "Water" only fasting is the key to 95% of all aliments we in western culture deal with. Then afterwards like any other "diet.". Maintain healthy Mediterranean diet and do water fasting once a month. You will be weak on day one, but consecutive days, you will be at your max mental acuity and even physical. I do anaerobic while doing water fasting.
