Gay watch

Is it gay to use this beautiful Xiaomi™ Mi™ Band™ 9™ in the gym? My friends say wearing a $40 smart band with up to 21 days of battery sounds pretty gay. What do you guys think? Am I really gay for having this incredible piece of engineering?

What are some features most people don't realize their phones have?

To convert from JPG/PNG to PDF, share image to Print (the Android service, not the cus

What are some quality of life home purchases or tech products that you've got while living in China?

I'm all in (kinda) in Mi Home stuff. Lights, air purifier, nice speaker, robot vac/mopper, and most important of all A/C companions.

In un mondo in cui tutti hanno un abbonamento a qualcosa, qual è il servizio in abbonamento più assurdo che vi siete trovati a pagare?

allora, io ho sofferto di epilessia e siccome i miei sono molto in pensiero per questa cosa, abbiamo trovato questo dispositivo che di base è un braccialetto con dei sensori e il bluetooth che si collega a un' app sul cellulare ed è in grado di rilevare crisi epilettiche ed allertare dei contatti di

I've had a Mi Band 8 for 2 years and I always bathe with it and I've never had any problems, however, my Mi Band 5's screen came off the capsule.

The HyperOS operating system from Xiaomi is the worst among Android operating systems I've used

I'm using Xiaomi since 2013, and it never had been worse. With every update they fuck it up just more. It doesn't even work properly together with their smart band.

Skin damage on Mi Band 8.

Hi! This looks like seborrheic/other type of dermatitis, most likely caused by friction, sweat, and constant use of the Mi Band. Apply a topical low-potency corticosteroid at night, and should improve over time!

NEVER let your Mi band 8 drop to 0% and die off

Your custom band is beautiful! My mi band 8 stopped working after less than 6 months of use. =.=

My mi band 8 is not "waterproof" afterall

Same happened to me 4 days ago lol, by the way they aren’t water proof but merely water resistant and if you swam with it, the swift currents in the water gives pressure to the mi band which breaks it resistant and enters the circuits
