Yup! Bought an android phone on Amazon. I got a bunch of ads for phones or incompatible accessories. Amazon... You know I bought a android phone, why are you selling me a lightning cable? You know it was a pixel phone, why are you selling me a phone case for a Samsung s series phone?

I'll piss off a bunch of lemmy users with this but... I don't mind ads. I hate useless ads. As you said, ads about teas or coffees would of been useful for you. 99% of the time if I buy something I don't need more of that, maybe some associated stuff but not that. If I buy a video card yesterday I don't need another one. Sell me the latest games. Sell me da monitor with high fps/resolution to show off what the video card can do. I buy a clothes washer, I don't need another one. Sell me detergent. Sell me fabric softener.

How have all the advertising companies missed this?

Question on your feelings about accounts

Ok, so what other solutions are there? I want the ability to record medication doses given and seizure incidents from multiple sources into one collection and potentially pull that data to make reports?

While it is horrible to steal that from Gaza and take it as your own... It really is a gorgeous chair. I wish the gazan people who had it still did

The whole idea behind having it hosted is to be able to record stuff when not at home. For example he had a seizure in the bathroom of a gas station the other day. I'd like to be able to use an app on my phone to generate a json file and send it to a server where it's recorded in a dB.

The big thing I want is to be able to go to a doctor's appointment and have a list of all seizures with applicable details. Like "in the last 6 months he had 84 seizures but you added medication X 4 months ago and as you can see that resulted in a 80% reduction in seizures on a weekly basis" or "he had 45 seizures in 3 months but they mostly happen just after lunch, can we adjust the medication schedule to account for lunch time?"

I don't want it locally on my phone completely because I want his mother(my girlfriend) to also be able to record incidents if I'm not around and have everything sync to one source of truth. Yeah I guess it's possible to record on my phone, record on her phone and then do some sort of merge to generate the full report but that seems really messy.

The problem is most people don't want to be hundred billionaires in 20 years, they want to be 10 millionaires by the end of the month. To do that you don't go for great products, you go for good products you can make sound great to other people and hope other people are stupider than you.
