 title: "My Thoughts on the Mobvoi TicWatch E3"
 description: "If you're looking for a decent Android-compatible smart watch for a good price, the TicWatch E3 might be the one for you!"

 I've never been a huge fan of smartwatches ever since their inception in the early 2010's or so. Whether it's the inexplicably poor battery life from a device that's super low-powered and should last forever, or the lack of *good* support from mobile apps, I always seem to be annoyed when looking at watches. Plus it's yet another device to charge daily-ish just to carry around all day. But I do try to keep my head in the game at least for a good value-oriented watch that helps me manage my notifications more easily so I don't have to open my phone every time it chimes.
 ## Accessories
 One other important aspect of a device you use pretty much daily is the ecosystem. And not just what the first-party manufacturer provides but also what the community and other companies sell to go along with it. 
 ## Price
 Now it comes down to the all-important price. Regardless of what features a watch may offer, ultimately the price is what dictates if it's a good purchase or not. 
 And that's where the TicWatch shines: it costs only $150 if you buy from Mobvoi directly, and they even offer an extra 2% discont if you're willing to create an account with them. 
 ## Conclusion
 Obviously, based on the price alone and how the watch is holding 
 ... it's not going to truly compete with the Apple Watch or Samsung Galaxy in a competion for the **best** smart watch. *But* those watches cost at least twice as much new, and it is a competitive option when you're looking at other watches in the same price range.

 Back in the day, even as far back as the late 90's, you needed a website to be seen as a participant in the web. And

 ## The Hardware
 Honestly, anything will do. From options as expensive and powerful as multi-server AMD Epyc- or Intel Xeon-backed clusters, all the way down to Single-Board Computers like the Raspberry Pi or Orange Pi, you can use anything that is supported by your Linux distribution of choice.
 ## The Operating System
 Today we're going to go with Debian Bookworm. Ubuntu, OpenSUSE Leap, and AlmaLinux are just as good, but I'm more familiar with Debian and I love the community-backed distro. And Bookworm (aka Debian 12) is the current stable version of Debian as of the writing of this article.
 ## The Web Server
 Nginx! Or Apache, both are cool. But I'm more familiar with Nginx and it's faster anyway.

 title: Welcome to Bit Goblin!

 Welcome! My name is Greg Ballantine and Bit Goblin is my passion project for creating YouTube videos on tech. I love tinkering with all things related to computers, and I enjoy documenting the things that I do so that others can use my struggles to ease their own. Whether it's buildings PCs, playing with networking gear, or exploring the beauty of Linux, there are lots of things to play with and try to help others with.
