#Mozilla is going in an alarming direction..., more and more occupied in showing itself as some kind of rotten-bourgeois-democracy's "transparency watchdog" at the service of the #FAANG business, using its users-base as non-paid work-force to give feedback and "fix" proprietary-software-big-corporations while #Firefox is becoming less and less, and the #workers, #developers, etc., at Mozilla gone fired and see their numbers reduced... Really worrisome.

The Haylou Solar smartwatch (it’s pronounced “hello”, by the way) has reached its crowdfunding goals and will start shipping on May 18 later this year. By the way, if you thought that the name “Haylou” was not the best, just wait until you find out that the watch called “Solar” has no solar cell. No, you only get a 340mAh battery. To be fair, that battery will last a fairly impressive 30 days, half that if you have the 24-hour heart rate tracking enabled. Not bad at all. Naming aside, this is actually a great smartwatch as you get plenty of hardware for not much money. The Solar is CNY 150 - $21 or €20. That’s smart band money, but you get a large 1.28” circular LCD with 240 x 240px resolution. The watch body measures 45.3mm across and comes with 22mm silicone straps. The body itself is metal. It’s also IP68-rated, so you can take it in the shower and even swim in the pool with it. As mentioned, it has heart rate tracking and multiple exercise modes (no swim tracking, but still). The watch can also track the quality of your sleep and help you with some breathing exercises. The Haylou Solar (LS5) connects to your Android or iOS smartphone over Bluetooth 5.0 and does the usual smartwatch-y things – notifications, music controls, weather info and son on. Note that this runs proprietary software rather than Google Wear OS or similar. You’ll be using the Haylou Fit app to sync the watch with your phone. Haylou was one of the first companies to join the Xiaomi ecosystem, by the way, though it mostly focused on audio accessories until releasing its first smartwatch last year (the Solar is its second). And if you're thinking that this pricing is too good to last, it probably is. . . #haylou #haylousolarsmartwatch #solar #solarsmartwatch #crowdfunding #solarcell #xiaomi #smartwatch #cny #usa #unitedstates #uk #unitedkingdom #ip68 #android #ios #haylousolar #bluetooth ##notifications #hayloufitapp #techies_page #techies #tech #technology #proprietarysoftware #google #googlewearos #wearos #hello #lcd https://www.instagram.com/p/B-ph7e-gi06/?igshid=4vy4yizfm33y

Where exactly is proprietary software used in terms of computers?

First of all, proprietary software is software that is branded, patented, copyrighted, trademark…in short it is exclusive software that is  used to help operate your computer. The most well-known proprietary software  is Windows OS and Apple’s Mac OS X.  You as a consumer have to pay for this software to help operate your computer or most of the time you have no say and it is already installed in a new phone or laptop you bought (will have a blog about this).

I have included the link to a new Apple OS software called: OS X Mountain Lion (click on the title to this post). It is marketed on the website as a OS that will “make your Mac work better…even better with your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.” This OS system boasts 200 features. In reality, Apple’s software restricts users from using its operating systems on other devices that are non-Apple products. This is an example of companies fighting against free or open source software movements. They are creating enclosures to their own software by using compatibility as a way to create and maintain enclosures. Since they are struggling to maintain control in the virtual world, companies are instead using physical products and hardware as another alternative. This seems to be succeeding for companies...for now.
