It's annoying as hell. I can hide shorts on my shield TV YT app from desktop at 30 day increments. It sucks you can't just turn them off

I'll continue to not watch shorts, tik toks, reels or any other ADHD inducing short form content.

Depends on what you do / like to do

There are sailing apps I use a 3rd party watch face (data lover) Playrun for listening to podcasts Spotify (until YouTube music is available for my watch)

Congrats on the watch. I've been using Garmin's since around 2013 starting with a 910xt.

I don't care about any game stats for my phone but it is annoying that my P9P XL lags when it's connected to AA and I want to grab it fast, double click the power button to open the camera and snap a quick picture.

I've experienced the same lag with previous Pixels. Assumed it was a RAM issue and maybe it is, but it's annoying nonetheless.

Ya, I'm not sure that has ever been true as a blanket statement.

The pay bill button on my capital one CC account doesn't work on Firefox. Once a month I have to use a chromium based browser.

Something something shocked Pikachu something

My 9 pro did this last Friday when sitting on the AC vent in my car which I too have never seen before.

My 8 pro sat in the same place many times.

AccuBattery. It was some door security app my company uses . I just took away background access.

I'm happy with my choice to upgrade...

The AI stuff is gimmicky of course but for basically questions Gemini is doing ok (quickly getting torque specs for bolts) will out in the garage seems improved over "assistant".

Battery life has been good after finding a stupid app that was running in the background killing it!!

It was too hot this week... Missed my run today because of errands that ran long: (

Got a new watch though! Fenix 8 51mm amoled. Wanted to use it today, but guess it'll be tomorrow it gets it's first run:)

Until tomorrow...

Fenix 6X Pro Solar and Datalover Single field for my running screen.

No idea what I'll end up with on the F8 :). I've been running Datalover a long time

Must get used to walking up hills on trails for long runs unless you're not human :)

Easiest thing to do would likely be join a local running group that has various training distances/pace groups

The one I ran with had two annual sessions for half and full training (a long with 5k/10k ).

When I was training for my first ultra (Yamacraw 50k) I just did the full plan with the training group + 4 miles extra on the long Saturday run. Typically I could find a fool to run them with me :)

At least some of Garmin watches have workout suggestions for daily motivation as well as actual training plans you can do. (Found in the connect app) I don't think the suggestions are always great but what you can do is see your training loads in the different zones and decide if you want/should do some intervals or not. My experience with suggested workouts is I can get multiple days of high intensity in a row which I know makes no sense but the watch is trying to get time in that zone in the "range"

ROFL

I disagree, most of these subscriptions options are all built in and "enabled" if bought. There ain't no car manufacturers looking to reduce their car prices for us. It's profit above everything

I've only experienced real issues when out of network coverage for a long time.

I make sure I download the areas I'll visit especially if the network coverage is spotty.

My Ford sync 3 amd my old Tundra with a Kenwood AA radio bot work fine out of service as long as I have the maps downloaded

I have a 2008 tundra a coworker just bought a new one so I asked for a ride. It was nice to see under the enormous center display, the HVAC controls!

I'm ok with a decent amount of tech in a car. Like I'm fine being able to connect my phone to the car and have android auto take over the infotainment system.

But the HVAC stuff needs to be buttons I can access/control without looking or very minimal looking.

I don't want/need my car to have a SIM card, or connect to wifi, and report what I'm doing. If they want to do that, then they can give me the car for free and I'll drive it around letting them collect my driving habits.

Edit: Oh, and I'm sure as hell not paying some subscription fee on top of the price of the car.

Well, to each his own... I should get $699 for my 8pro as trade-in and already got a $200 store credit. I've actually been waiting for the Pixel Buds Pro 2's and by going with the Pixel 9 I am getting $900 "off" those purchases.

I only toggled it and saw no difference so I turned it back off. So far, the morning reboot fixed it, but I'll be monitoring it closely. I use my headphones a lot. Also Not sure how to turn 'off' the pixel buds. I'm sure there's a way to reboot them I'd just need to search.

I did go into developer settings last night and disabled the audio sync. "Disable absolute volume" and that didn't seem to change anything. (I did not try to raise the volume on my buds after I was at max on phone though)

I've never noticed this 'issue' before. However I realize I did just copy a bunch of crap to this phone, install updates, etc... I'm also having some weird tasker behavior where it is randomly crashing. That was actually the driver of the reboot this morning as I had updated/toggled some permissions that didn't seem to be sticking.

Responding to my own post... It was like midnight when I 'discovered' this, and this morning I decided to reboot my phone and then try again. The audio seems normal now. 🙄 I will be paying attention to this close now.

Wondering if there's any setting that adjusts the max volume (like night mode). I wish I had tried before rebooting, but I was just drinking my first cup of coffee haha.

This will 100% not end well. I think we've yet to see even hardened financial / data collection systems be hack-proof. A random gym is not going to safeguard that data and/or monitor it responsibly.

I exclusively run in 2-in-1 shorts that have built in spandex like liners. Some are more 'compression' than others. Most are just supportive, not compression. I like the Nike 2in1s and they last a LOT of miles. I've tried a few cheap amazon brands and not liked them nearly as much. The liners are never as supportive.

I'd guess I get about 10 days which would include 5-6 50 minute GPS activities and, wearing it / tracking HR 24/7.

Watch estimates 21 days on full charge (not accounting for activities).

I just don't have to think about /manage is

This is my same complaint. I have been using Garmin watches for fitness, and when they got got a little less utilitarian looking I started wearing it full time to be a watch/track steps and continue tracking fitness activities.

I would like a better notification handling and ability to reply to notifications/message but not at the expense of battery life.

I got a Pixel 2 watch 'free' with the purchase of a Pixel 8Pro last year. I tried wearing it for a few weeks, and no surprise, the battery life is just not enough for me (non starter). Second, IMHO that watch overall is too small. My Garmin is the largest they have (Fenix 6X Pro) as it had the best battery life. Going down to the tiny screen/battery Pixel watch 2 was just never going to work for me.

The 3 has two sizes now which is nice, but the battery life is still way to short.

A week isn't bad. I just use mine to track a lot if activities, even sailing. So hours of GPS tracking. I'm really happy with my Garmin.

I'd like their upper watches to have some more smart features, but not at the expense of battery life.

My Fenix has NFC payments, it gets notifications. Holds music/podcasts so I connect headset directly to it.

But reading and responding to notifications is clunky.

Still, for me Garmin is the way to go.

I got a pixel watch 2 last year when I bought a Pixel phone and tried wearing it. Loved the extra smart features but couldn't stand the battery life. Just a non starter for me

Problem with the smarter fitness watches is battery life. My Fenix can go about 2 weeks with running 4 days a week. I do t want to have to manage charging my watch so often it's a pain to capture my life. (Sleeping, steeps, activities)

Garmin watches, IMHO more rugged and they do not put their software behind a paywall. You'll pay for it in the cost of the watch.

I've been using Garmin for fitness since about 2013, I have use a Charge HR for steps/fitness alongside my Garmin watches when I used them only for activities.

Eventually I replaced that with a garmin Fenix 3HR that did steps, activities and looked good enough to wear all the time

I have a Fenix 6 now.

Thanks!

So, why is organic maps hidden with the default anti features of f-droid? Which of these that have allowed my other installs does organic maps not comply with?

None of these look like something I'd want to turn off!

I need to drop weight I picked up last Christmas when I was injured. Just don't want to diet :)

So, I need to get motivated for the next 7 years :)

I literally could not get off the floor for around 2h and was panicking quite a bit. Never ever felt so vulnerable before. Do not recommend whatever happened to me :). Good thing is it was just muscle and once healed I was back to 100% It just prevented me from running for over a month.

Oh ya... Marathons have come and gone for me :) Initially because they were just expensive but COVID had me WFH full time and the group I ran with was near my work office. So I sort of morphed into running alone and just as maintenance vs. Training for something.

I'm about to hit 53 and try to run between 15-20/miles a week still but I did fall behind on my fitness the end of last year when I had some crazy back spasms after sneezing (of all things) that really set me back. Takes forever to get back. Luckily I do not have any physical issues (knees etc) most if my issues now are not eating healthy enough and general motivation to improve. Sounds like I've got about 7 years to get on top of it so I can cruise through that age too :)

Interestingly enough, a random couple things happened when I was between 43-44 that lead to me start distance running and run my first full marathon about 4 months before I turned 44.

I was decently fit before, but didn't run any distance above a maybe 5 miles. I do not remember anything negative happening around that time or shortly after. I was actually increasing my cardio endurance dramatically over the next 5 years or so.
