When you add a server endpoint in the settings, you’re pointing it at your own existing server (Dawarich, Home Assistant, Traccar or any HTTP endpoint).
Ok please forgive me, I’m unfamiliar with this terminology.
Colota actually has automatic file export (Settings > Export Data > Auto-Export)
Oh, sick, I missed that somehow, thanks.
Sorry for the confusion on my part.
I still don’t see a way to import data? Doesn’t do any good to back it up if I can’t import it back in?
There is no backup server. Users can create and add one if they like.
No I understood the server is self-hosted…?
Colota offers out of the box file export
I see that but this should be an automatic backup process. Plus there’s no way I can see to IMPORT that data somewhere else.
When I use an app like Fitotrack, it automatically makes a backup file periodically and then is automatically backed up to my server with Nextcloud or Syncthing. I don’t need a dedicated server for it.
Colota already uses WiFi for home detection (WiFi pause in geofence zones)
How can it do that when it didn’t ask me for an SSID? And what’s the point of the geofence if it doesn’t even use it anyway? I am cornfuse.
When wifi disconnects or/and motion is recognized the GPS starts again.
How is motion recognized without GPS?
Why a dedicated backup server instead of just backing up to a local file that can then be backed up to a service of choice?
Also for profiles, it would make more sense to use Bluetooth to detect a vehicle or WiFi to detect when you’re home vs. Geofencing or Android Auto or speed. How can it tell when you leave the geofence if the GPS is off?
It’s kind of a shitty thing about modern gaming, is that the game revolves around the community, and if you’re not part of the community, you don’t know WTF is going on, because they never explain anything in the game.
I got pretty sucked into it playing Destiny 1 like 10 years ago but eventually it was too much fucking work and not enough fun.
I hope to never ever see this kind of behavior happen within the Fediverse, because we are supposed to be better than this.
That’s pretty naive, honestly.
That would feel even sweeter if they were losing money on every Helix sold.
They wouldn’t lose money for the same reason Steam doesn’t lose money; they sell them at market value. That’s (part of) why they’re so expensive.
They’re going to do what Steam is doing and just open up Xbox branding for licensing on PC hardware, much like they did with XBOX Ally. So there will be something for everyone.
Except people who hate Microsoft, but they were never going to buy it anyway.
In what way?
Yes she does LOL
You said they don’t need to be a gamer. How can someone not be a gamer and know absolutely anything about XBOX? That seems like a bare minimum?
I’m honestly completely blown away at the number of people who think a CEO does not need to know absolutely anything about the product they’re supposed to be selling…
“She has zero experience but at least she’s not lying, I guess?”
Yeah I don’t get what you’re trying to say here at all.
I think being an active gamer is an important quality but it certainly doesn’t guarantee success. Certainly having never played an XBOX before in your life is a BAD BAD quality for XBOX leadership.
Former Xbox leadership Phil Spencer, whom Sharma was succeeding, was a prolific collector of achievements with a rich gamercard that was a popular subject of discussion among Xbox communities.
Scrolling to the bottom, Sharma’s very first achievement was unlocked in The Master Chief Collection and was the aptly titled “Your Journey Begins” on January 15 of this year

Sounds like they are taking the loss. Subsidizing the increased cost of production with funds from online subscriptions…
…those are 2 opposite things.
I mean you could just take the loss? But I guess shareholders wouldn’t be happy about that.
Reminder that the new Remedy CEO comes from the sports betting industry:

Ok, not good advice
I…disagree?
You ignored the main questions I had
…I didn’t ignore them, I just wasn’t trying to answer them.
Also 4k players for PC’s are fucked and have tons of issues.
Been using them for years, no idea what you mean.
Look around on your local classifieds. Anything you find there should be better than an Xbox. Put Bazzite on it and you got the console experience.
Cool, thank you!
