Would love to know what you guys think and your reasoning for it. I’m starting to see a lot of Apple Watches/Fitbits/Galaxy Watches in my area compared to more traditional timepieces.
I use a Garmin Venu 2. It’s a “smart enough” watch where it’s not annoying in terms of notifications, but it provides all of the data I could imagine needing relating to my fitness activities. I started using it after Mozilla reviewed Garmin’s stance on privacy.
I also have a Seiko kinetic watch I wear for nice or more formal events.
Woah! I don’t follow this kind of stuff too closely, but I never saw this coming. Also, having been to both, I like Cedar Fair parks a lot more than Six Flags, so I see the CEO news as a positive.
Am I doing something wrong? I’ve been on Pixel devices since the first one, and on Android since Donut. For some reason it feels like I’m at the bottom of the roll out list. At this point everyone I personally know has received the 14 update and I’m still waiting (on my 7 Pro)....
Are you using T-Mobile at all? I wasn’t seeing the Android 14 update on my p7, but then I swapped to a US Mobile Sim and the download was available. I kicked it off and swapped back to the T-Mobile sim and the download stopped and returned to saying no update was available. While I’d like the update to be available to all users regardless, it seems carriers still may have a say.
Just was notified this AM that my P8P is enroute and should be here today. Though, it is FedEx and they don’t have the best track record for meeting their estimates. Package is coming from Carol Stream, IL to SE WI.
Edit: and just like that, it got changed back to the 12th.
The more rare, obscure, or just a guilty pleasure, the better. Maybe you grew up with it, maybe it’s just the nostalgia talking, any reason is fine....
Radar Mission. I can hear the music in my head from both game types whenever I think about it, right down to the music when the carrier launches the fighter. I enjoyed both game types a lot, though I remember getting frustrated as a kid until I learned the nuances of the opponents.
I have been using a Pebble Time Steel for years even after their acquisition by Garmin Someone corrected me it was FitBit not Garmin thanks to Rebble, a modded firmware that gives it new life, but I would like a smartwatch that can track my heart rate....
Fitbit acquired Pebble, not Garmin, so any of that tech is now with Google.
Garmin devices can be cheap, reliable, and work for a long time. There’s a bit of a community for them online, but I am not aware of any custom firmware.
I use Tidal. I have no issues with the app or anything it recommends to me. In fact, it does a really great job at mentioning new music from bands that I haven’t heard from in a while. Econoline Crush and Filter are 2 that had a recent release that even Apple Music didn’t tell me about, even though I have both bands music in my library with Apple.
I’ve tried to like Spotify, but I just couldn’t get into it. There was just a feeling that it’s not a music first app, but a user data collection app that happens to provide music. I don’t get that feeling with Tidal.
If I had to complain about Tidal for something, it would be the Live feature. I have the toggle off for showing live sessions, but I’d love to just turn it completely off and remove all traces of that feature. No one cares what I’m listening to, and I have no intention of being “social” in my music app.
I can’t seem to upload an image of my current mount, but it mounts flat on the top of my dashboard on a little plastic sheet that’s permanently affixed to the dashboard....
I have this mount from Scosche and it’s been fine with my P7 in a Spigen thin case: www.scosche.com/…/magicgrip-mount-double-pivotI have it mounted in a lower cubby in front of my shifter with the suction/sticky attached to the top inside of said cubby, and it has never fallen off or sagged.
Last I played, the arc was humans attempted firing a weapon targeting Thargoids and it failed. Thargoids got mad and attacked human systems in the bubble.
There was also some unhappiness around their spacelegs expansion and the subsequent end of development for console versions. I stopped playing since then not because of any problems but because I got into other games.
Sounds a lot like what my company did. They made going in on Mon, Tue, Wed mandatory for everyone not designated as “Remote” beginning the day after Labor Day. The dumb thing here is that people don’t have a desk to go to.
They announced a construction project on one of the buildings a few months ago, and have since closed that building completely, moving those people into the main building, and announced at the same time the closure of 2 more buildings for “reasons.” This forced the need for “Flex Desks” as well as the installation of “bench desks” in what used to be common areas, just to fit people in. Further stupidity was introduced when they said that teams would have designated “neighborhoods” to sit together in, which is anything but. It’s really a floor or part of a floor for an entire organization - “figure it out.” So now when we arrive after our shitty commute, we have to wander around for a place to sit.
Then there’s parking, which, if you didn’t get into one of the 2 parking garages that are company owned and paid for by pre-tax deductions, then you have to find your own parking with your post-tax pay, because the agreement with the local garages wasn’t renewed during the pandemic.
All dictated to us by someone who regularly joins video conferences from his car, home, or Yacht.
Sounds about the same. We heard “record profits” every year during the pandemic when everyone was home. Suddenly it’s “we’re better together” and “culture.”
A coworker in another city going into the office the company has floors in, who is also the only one from our team there: “nothing is different. I’m still on zoom all day.”
I appreciate posting this follow-up, and I’m happy the slot is sticking around if this news holds. As I said in the linked context above, it’s still a bit too rough relying on the carriers to be helpful in transferring eSim.
This song is so epic to me. I have it in a playlist I listen to while running, and the beat matches my cadence. When it comes on, I get chills, extra motivated, and end up pushing even harder.
Exactly. Despite making it incredibly frustrating for existing customers who want/need to manage their sim cards, they continue to have these sim swap attacks.
I enjoy seeing these. I still have the HBO Max “Integration Test Email #1” from 6/17/2021. It’s one of the oldest emails in my inbox, and its presence there motivates me to clear my inbox just to have a giggle.
After years of eSim, wanting eSim, asking for nothing but eSim, I’m done with eSim. Having an argument with a T-Mobile rep in store on whether or not my Pixel 7 has an eSim made me no longer want eSim. I want my phone and its service to be as self service as possible, and managing my own sim seems to be my best option.
Clear difference (startrek.website)
Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?
Would love to know what you guys think and your reasoning for it. I’m starting to see a lot of Apple Watches/Fitbits/Galaxy Watches in my area compared to more traditional timepieces.

Richard Zimmerman becomes CEO and the majority of the company will be half and half. The new company will use FUN but will retain the Six Flags name.
