Remember how I was looking for a project a while back?
Well Garmin just dump one on me. They recently changed the login so all python packages stopped working.
They might go back to life, but it is time to dig again into those horrible FIT files and get the data out that way.
In the mean time all my tracking is dead.
F* you garmin for not providing a public api. My next watch will not be a Garmin 🤬
