First day training back with @endomondo — more a walk today, but I ran a bit during the “fast-walk” intervals.
I used Endomondo for the voice prompts, but tracked the main workout with my fitbit. This led to my graph being a bit out of sync with the workout graph…
Next run is on Thursday. Well, it’s a walk rather than run…. But start slow, and build up, I guess
Training – 16th August 2018
Did the 2x 10 minute runs today and topped 5km according to the ZenLabs app, but only hit 4.85km according to Fitbit (and I kinda trust FitBit more than ZenLabs in terms of distance tracking)
Set two Strava Segment PRs during this run
This run was done on Lineage OS 14. I downgraded back to 14 from 15 after finding a few quirks with that version that don’t sit well with me.
- The ADB connection is very flaky, cutting out a lot, and the charge LED blinks during this time, like something is restarting. I don’t get that with 14
- The general battery usage is really bad. I lose between 20% and 40% battery life overnight, whereras I lose only 15-20% on 14.
I might decided to try again at some point, but on a clean (empty) install.
Your Android Phone Has a Built-In Childproofing Feature
VERY useful feature to stop accidentally breaking out of an app. Useful also for people streaming from their phones
Ever needed to hand your phone to a kid? Even if you don’t want to, sometimes you’re trying to keep them quiet at a restaurant, or calm them down at the doctor’s. But handing over an unlocked phone is just asking for the kid to delete all your home screen shortcuts (or, worse, work emails). Fortunately there’s a way to fix this.

The Meitu selfie app unlocks your anime beauty and personal data
Meitu has been taking off — everywhere I look on my Facebook, Twitter, I see pictures run through the app.
But do you actually check to see what permissions it asks for? A crazy amount it seems. I just checked on Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mt.mtxx.mtxx) and these are the current permissions
