Exactly. The CSS construction is smart but not that ingenious. In this way, you could slap any number of fixed images there, I was hoping for some inventive transformation.

Add automatic normalization to the box (you know, you type "05" and it drops the leading zero, you type "0.70" and it drops the trailing zero, etc.) and it often gets completely impossible to write anything valid. Some banking apps do something similar. :-)

I understand the idea. But many people have hugely mistaken beliefs about what the C[++] languages are and how they work. When you write ADC EAX, R13 in assembly, that's it. But C is not a "portable assembler"! It has its own complicated logic. You might think that by writing ++i, you are writing just some INC [i] ot whatnot. You are not. To make a silly example, writing int i=INT_MAX; ++i; you are not telling the compiler to produce INT_MIN. You are just telling it complete nonsense. And it would be better if the compiler "prevented" you from doing it, forcing you to explain yourself better.

If you are asking whether you can use Garmin Connect without Garmin, I don't think so. But you can use a different non-Garmin app with your watch, see https://gadgetbridge.org/ Obviously, it does not have the full functionality of Garmin, and even more obviously, you would lose the Garmin social functions without Garmin Connect (but there are open-source projects for that as well). (Also, with Garmin, maybe you will lose some of the functions anyway to the Garmin Connect+ subscription, right? :-) )

While googling around to gather clues for reverse-engineering the protocol for a Garmin smart watch, I stumbled upon an e-mail on a listserv, discussing pieces of Garmin BT communication. Only after a while I noticed it had been written by Linus, who apparently worked on diving software.

Sure thing, see https://pivot-to-ai.com/2025/06/05/generative-ai-runs-on-gambling-addiction-just-one-more-prompt-bro/

Its written vibe.

That's an aladeen idea!
