Some guy with a computer. Ok, a lot of computers.
Yes, there are a few ways to do it. You need to have logged into the Fossil app with an email/password, it didn’t seem to work with “login with Google.”
I used a python script that I ran on my computer that got the private key from the Fossil servers.

NOTE: You need to add the private key before pairing with GadgetBridge, if you add it after then it won’t work.
I recently switched to using GadgetBridge with my Fossil Hybrid. It was a little annoying to set up, but it works.
I had an LG smartwatch that was rectangular.
I had a Fossil Wear OS smartwatch, I liked it but I barely used any of its features. Basically, I’d use it to notify me of messages and then I could see whether or not to pick up my phone.
I sold it and bought a Fossil hybrid (Collider HR) and I love that thing. The battery lasts about 2 weeks and people always think it’s so cool that it has physical hands.
It shows me whenever I get a message or calendar notification (or whatever notifications I want) and that’s all I care about.
I haven’t looked at the newer generation of watches, but I don’t think I’d upgrade or anything.
I also have other Fossil stuff, like belts. They make cool stuff, but they’ve always been a fashion brand first before a tech brand.
If they stop making smartwatches, are there any other brands that make good hybrid, eink watches?
Also, the article just mentioned they’d stop making Wear OS devices so maybe they’ll still make the hybrid watches?

I’ve always had location history disabled. I plan to keep it disabled.
Google couldn’t care less about the content of the ads. If you pay them, they’ll put up the ad. There’s no checking or moderation. That would cost money.

So, poorly built, hard to fix, and will happily run over other people?
Oh boy, yet another reskinned Chrome/Chromium browser.
I’ll stick with the real “Chrome alternative,” Firefox.
That seems right up my alley, I’ll subscribe to that.
Runners up:
What about Lenovo tablets?
I didn’t know Spotify changed this. I opened up the app, and sure enough it popped up with “the heart is now a plus.”
Yeah, I don’t like it. Just a random plus sign on the “now playing” screen isn’t obvious what it does. Yes, the app told me, but that only appears once.
I wonder if we can complain and get them to change it back.
Some ThinkPads. I have coreboot on my T430, but I don’t think my X270 can run it.
