I've been using their app for some time now and really like the concept: Basically it allows restaurants, bakeries, supermarkets etc to announce when they have stuff leftover that they'd usually throw away at the end of the day. You can browse those nearby shops in the app and reserve a "surprise bag" for a small amount, usually around a third of the regular price, but it varies. In the pickup timeframe (usally around 30-60min before their closing time) you go there, show that you've reserved the bag in your app, confirm that you've received it and happily walk home with a ton of surprise food for super cheap.

After using it for a while I can especially recommend looking for food stalls at farmers markets as they often have lots of stuff leftover that they don't want to take back home when packing up so they're often super generous. Bakeries are also great, I regularly get a week's supply of bread, buns, pastries and cake for like 3-5€.

EDIT: While it's made in Denmark the app works globally or at least all of EuropeAFAIK, definitely works fine with lots of participating shops in Germany.

• All analyzed AI chatbot apps collect some form of user data. The average number of collected types of data is 11 out of a possible 35 for the analyzed apps. 40% of the apps collect users' locations. Additionally, 30% of these apps track user data. Tracking refers to linking user or device data collected from the app with third-party data for targeted advertising or advertising measurement purposes or sharing it with a data broker.
• Google Gemini collects the most information, gathering 22 out of 35 possible data types. This includes precise location data, which only Gemini, Copilot, and Perplexity collect. Gemini also collects a significant amount of data across various other categories, such as contact info (name, email address, phone number, etc.), user content, contacts (such as a list of contacts in the user’s phone), search history, browsing history, and several other types of data. This extensive data collection may be seen as excessive and intrusive by those concerned about data privacy and security.
• ChatGPT collects 10 types of data, such as contact information, user content, identifiers, usage data, and diagnostics, while avoiding tracking data or using third-party advertising within the app. While ChatGPT collects chat history, it is possible to use temporary chats, which auto-delete all data after 30 days, or to request the removal of personal data from training sets. Overall, ChatGPT collects slightly fewer types of data than some other analyzed apps, but users should still review the privacy policy to understand how this data is used and protected.
• Copilot, Poe, and Jasper are the three apps that collect data used to track you. This data could be sold to data brokers or used to display targeted advertisements in your app¹. While Copilot and Poe only collect device IDs, Jasper collects device IDs, product interaction data, advertising data, and other usage data, which refers to “any other data about user activity in the app”.
• DeepSeek's data collection practices stand comfortably in the middle ground among other AI chatbot apps. DeepSeek collects 11 unique types of data, such as user input, including chat history, and claims to retain information for as long as necessary, storing it on servers located in the People's Republic of China.
• Don't let your guard down, as chats stored on servers are always at risk of being breached. According to The Hacker News, DeepSeek has already experienced a breach where more than 1 million records of chat history, API keys, and other information were leaked. It is generally a good idea to be mindful of the information provided.

I bought a Garmin Forerunner 255 watch that I want to use only with Gadgetbridge. There is an old software version on the watch and I want to update it and I don't want to connect it with Garmin Connect or Garmin Express app?

I have looked for the possibility to do an “offline” update but have not found it. Maybe the community will help?

The Süddeutsche Zeitung is reporting on the buy European movement. And thus time it is not a newspaper with questionable reporting, but one of the largest German daily newspapers and arguably one of the best.

The article is likely paywalled.
