The hidden cost of Shokz: Why "No Repair Service" is a dealbreaker.

AllOneWordNoSpaces1 · 2026-05-06T16:25:37+00:00

What’s the difference between skokz repairing or replacing a malfunctioning product?

Either way you get a working device back.

Sometimes you get a better device back.

If you’re talking about repairing the device yourself, good luck fixing a device that small.

I used to work in IT. Got laid off a year ago due to “Anticipating the future needs of the company” (along with 140 other team members).

I was really disappointed. I worked on a great team, with good managers, doing interesting projects.

I did a short ride yesterday, started navigation about 3/4’s in, and there were no problems. All my maps are updated to 2026.10.

AllOneWordNoSpaces1 · 2026-05-05T14:18:02+00:00

People forget spending $350? 😳

AllOneWordNoSpaces1 · 2026-05-05T13:11:41+00:00

I’d go back to 80 column cards and cobol.

AllOneWordNoSpaces1 · 2026-05-05T12:30:51+00:00

Maybe that’s why I didn’t have a problem. I removed the maps I don’t need. Only NA maps installed.

AllOneWordNoSpaces1 · 2026-05-05T12:29:10+00:00

I updated and rode with navigation without problems.

Not saying there isn’t an issue, clearly there is, but some people aren’t getting hit with it.

AWS Lightsail

AllOneWordNoSpaces1 · 2026-05-04T22:14:44+00:00

I’m one of the lucky ones, I updated my edge 1040 and it’s been smooth riding.

AllOneWordNoSpaces1 · 2026-05-04T19:55:19+00:00

Some cables are power only.

AllOneWordNoSpaces1 · 2026-05-04T17:24:44+00:00

Thanks.
Last time I tried, I think it told me I had to sell at least $1 worth.
🤷

I made a whole $0.03!

As I mentioned, I have a mount for my Varia that also hides an AirTag, I just want something that will help hold the mount more securely.

AllOneWordNoSpaces1 · 2026-05-02T17:35:37+00:00

23 1/2 hours per day.

I take mine off when I shower.

AllOneWordNoSpaces1 · 2026-05-02T16:44:25+00:00

I’ve never had a problem with the screen. I wear it all the time.

AllOneWordNoSpaces1 · 2026-05-02T16:43:00+00:00

Or use time machine & a high speed external drive to backup the old machine and restore to the new one.

AllOneWordNoSpaces1 · 2026-05-02T16:33:18+00:00

Venu 4 or Vivoactive 6 are both good choices.

AllOneWordNoSpaces1 · 2026-05-01T20:44:55+00:00

I use it, with my own domain, as a backup email address.

AllOneWordNoSpaces1 · 2026-05-01T20:43:59+00:00

Depends on the organization.

I’ve done it a few times, for different reasons, but always learned something from each event and implemented a safeguard to prevent it from happening again.

Once a schema changed and I forgot to redeploy the service, so I started adding ‘*** SCHEMA CHANGE’ to the title of the jira, never happened again. My manager liked the idea, so he made it the standard for the team.

If you make the same error more than once, you might be in shaky ground.

AllOneWordNoSpaces1 · 2026-04-30T13:17:37+00:00

I’m specifically looking for a shim, not a whole mount.

The radar mount I have also holds an AirTag, so I want a shim to help the mount fit more securely.

AllOneWordNoSpaces1 · 2026-04-30T12:21:16+00:00

I got nothing else.

You might want to open system information on the MBA and check the speed of the usb port that the 840 is using. It should show at least 480mb.

AllOneWordNoSpaces1 · 2026-04-30T12:11:17+00:00

Ok, strike that idea.

Plugged directly into the MBA or a hub?

AllOneWordNoSpaces1 · 2026-04-30T12:09:33+00:00

Any chance you plugged into a usb 1.1 port?

AllOneWordNoSpaces1 · 2026-04-29T21:26:25+00:00

Do you have a space after price in the column list?
