MonkeyType.com is a “a minimalistic and customizable typing test. It features many test modes, an account system to save your typing speed history, and user-configurable features such as themes, sounds, a smooth caret, and more.”

I used to be able to type 140 words per minute with 99 percent accuracy, but I have slowed down a bit as I have advanced in age.

Getting Rid of the Annoying “Cardio Load” Nonsense In the Fitbit App

For some reason, Fitbit decided to roll out a Cardio Load measurement that pretty much no one asked for and almost nobody wants. While it is possible to turn the cardio load feature off, the stupid app will still give you a daily notice about your cardio load target.

At the moment, the only way to get rid of this annoying notice is to first turn off the cardio load feature and then delete all of the cardio load data.

To turn off the feature,

  1. From the Fitbit app home page, click the pencil icon in the upper right.
  2. Turn the Cardio load feature off with the slider under “Activity.”

To delete all cardio load data so the notices stop appearing,

  1. Click on your user icon in the upper right (this will be whatever icon your Google account uses).
  2. From the menu that pops in, click on “Your data in Fitbit.”
  3. Scroll down to “Data and features” and click on “Deletion options.”
  4. Scroll the “Data deletion options” screen and click on “Cardio load.”
  5. Finally, click on “Delete all cardio load data” and then “Confirm and Delete.”

This should prevent any cardio load notices from appearing.

Another step you might want to take after all of this is looking at reviews of other exercise trackers, as Google seems intent on completely degrading the Fitbit experience.
