It is not emergency situation and in some city you would end up in big trouble/fine.
Being robbed is not an emergency situation?
Emotionally or psychologically it is significant but that's the traditional bar and blindspot.

So your stance is that it’s wrong, but you should be allowed to do it because it makes you very angry? What exactly would you think of anyone else applying that reasoning to anything in society? Would you think that they belong in society?
No, I'm saying it's only human to retroactively want to do extreme fantastical violence against people who have physically harmed you when you live in a society that a: does not care that you were hurt because you're a man and b: pressures men into fending for themselves, sorting out their own problems and "manning up". I'm not the type, myself. But damn, no wonder downtrodden men end up snapping - because they most…
I was running on a treadmill a few weeks back, and was knackered so stopped abruptly by jumping into a straddle position with my legs on the rails either side of the actual band on the treadmill. My smartwatch interpreted this as a fall and sent a red alert to my daughter.

Is it really insane? That is less than 200 per day, in a city of 15 million people.. a single gang of 20 thieves could likely manage that! The real question is, how does this compare to other cities of this size and demographics?
I'd say it's a lot higher than this. This is just the reported numbers. I live in London and I'm fairly careless. Yesterday when I hopped onto a bus a driver told me I was crazy for holding my phone out infront of me and that it would be snatched if I kept that up. I could list 10 people I know that have had their phone stolen at some point in the last few years. I've also seen it happen several times. It's very comm…

Transit directions includes walking on both ends. Because the train doesn't start and end precisely as your destination (this is called a "taxi cab").
Ok that makes sense. My tips would be: check if it mistakenly thinks you can't directly walk to the station or something. In my town there's a particular place i often go to where Google I guess just doesn't know or care that there IS a crossing. if I just pick a point across the street it suggests much better routes And personally if it's more than 5 min of walking i would just look up the way to the station and the…
Problem is when there's multiple stations nearby and which one has the quickest connection varies depending on when exactly you leave. In that case manually checking every combination of stations could be somewhat cumbersome, especially if there's a choice of stations at both ends…

To my knowledge, Apple Health is the only health/fitness data storage with end to end encrypted data, which is one of my main reasons to stay out of other fitness eco systems even if their hardware is way better.
Garmin lets you connect your device as an USB storage device and manage everything manually though. I do this to completely skip online uploading, and am keeping track of stats using a mashup of bash scripts and cli tools.

I feel like there has to be a middle ground between giving everything to an untrusted cloud and manually downloading raw data and building home grown tools to try and process and make sense of it. As a user, I don't want either of those extremes.
