You calm down
-
Telling people "calm down" is a very unconstructive de-escalation tactic because it has no substance. People respond much better if you address specific conduct, explain a potential consequence, ask for something else, and then give space.
For example, when someone needs to calm down, I tell them "You'd better fix that attitude problem of yours before it gets you into trouble", and then as soon as they begin to respond I interrupt with "Close your mouth" and I walk away. This makes people realize they're overreacting and they calm down right away. -
My Fitbit like to congratulate me on getting so many In The Zone minutes. I'm not working out, but thanks I guess?
My Fitbit does this because my resting HR is so high, lol

None of that sounds productive to me. It seems accusatory and self-satisfied to the point of being abusive. Sounds like the kind of things infuriatingly rude people say and do to try and deflect from their own toxicity.
Calm down.

The number of people addressing this post as serious advice is troubling.
Laughing when I got to "Close your mouth"!
It is, but keep in mind that if you don't intentionally misinterpret things you know to be jokes, you won't get to act smug about how awful they are. It's good to see we have some people bringing the core aspect of reddit culture here.

Did you tell it to fuck off? I ask because that's the same response I got when I did that.

You better fix that attitude problem before it lands you in some trouble.

Because they use fitness trackers or for clicking that dodgy-ass link?

It's not that dodgy. Backblaze is a cloud storage company and the this is their endpoint for serving S3 object storage. Piefied links straight to that instead of proxying it themselves.

In order to test this I have determined that there are various different profane terms that it will respond to with this particular message. At this point I'm not sure what I said to it originally.
I just did it again and it says "I'm a virtual assistant but your words are still very real, please be respectful"

I kinda like it when my watch tells me that im stressed out and to do a breathing exercise. it helps me realize that I'm probably upset over absolutely nothing in the heat of a moment.
After I learning I'm physically stressed almost all the time and didn't realize it, I decided to save battery life by turning that feature off.

Garmin is neat because it waits till you calm down to tell you you were stressed. Then you’re like „huh, yeah, I guess I was. Thanks for noticing!”
I should switch to Garmin.
My current smartwatch is getting old and kinda sucks....
Aah well.
