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

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

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:)

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”

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.
