I tested the 4 most popular health trackers for a year - here's my buying advice now

The Oura Ring is, in my opinion, the sleep and health tracker to rule them all. Not only does it track your sleep, stress, activity, and more, it also creates helpful data illustrations that encourages healthy habits, whether that's a consistent bedtime routine, daily activity, or reduced alcohol consumption. Many users, myself included, have reported changing their drinking habits after seeing their heart rate's response to a few beers late at night on Oura's graphs. Earning high sleep scores

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-09-11 13:15:58

Germany just became the latest country to move against DeepSeek over mounting data privacy concerns. Here’s why this keeps happening. As you probably guessed, it’s a China thing When DeepSeek took the world by storm earlier this year, it wasn’t long before it found itself in the crosshairs of governments in the West.
