As a burner, I find calling it a "tech bro party" pretty reductive.

I do my regional burn every year for like $600 including ticket costs which basically go straight to paying for a venue. Ticket costs for the big burn can range massively, but it's based on a pay-what-you-can structure, with tickets going to theme camps first and the rest being lottery-ed off. Please don't let salty media trick you into hating these people.

Most people have no idea how much work is put into building things just for other people. We erect an entire city by hand for free so people can come enjoy it and have wild experiences. Everyone always talks big game about wanting more art and less corpo shit, yet will absolutely dogpile burning man, one of the largest art festivals with no corpo shit and no ads or anyone trying to sell you something.

I keep getting an error saying "You can't have two different pieces of information in one place.", which I assume is something to do with the fact that you can also have it link to twitch, but I have the twitch functionality disabled

As someone who’s used basically every smart and fitness watch out there, I can tell you that this is totally not true. So long as you’re not looking for something super fitness focused (in which case go for the garmin, Coros, etc) then the Apple Watch is unparalleled in how good it is at being a smart watch AND how trustworthy the fitness data is. It’s literally one of the best optical heart rate monitors out there by a long shot
