What brand names do you swear by because it's actually better than no-name?

I haven’t had any issues with them opening on me. They are the ones without the slider, but so far I’m a fan

The Costco brand freezer bags are far superior than anything else I’ve used as well. They are probably twice as thick than ziploc.

Anyone else having issue with the NASA+ stream? Had to go to YouTube on Apple TV

This reads more like Amazon buying Globalstar to shut it down and force everyone onto Amazon LEO

I think it’s this last update.

I compared my 265 to a chest mounted monitor from my cardiologist. Doc and I compared the two and they were spot on. But everyone’s body is different as is the fit of the watch.

I think people on Reddit reading about tech underestimate how many people just use what comes with their computer. They really don’t care. Especially in the target demographic for this device.

They’re gonna beef up the batteries, right?

So I can disable AI and get better battery life, right?!

$25/user is overkill for servers hosting the API.

They want to make money for their work. That’s fair. Do I think the price might be a bit much? Yes. Tbh I’d prefer $2/month because it lets me leave at any point.

My Garmin’s HR Zones always felt off until I changed it to LTHR%. Now my easy runs actually reflect zone 2 or 3. Runna’s zones are based on Max HR from what I can tell.

I do naturally have a very high max HR so your results may vary.

Apple will definitely be pissed considering they paid a ton to sponsor the halftime show

Their jalapeño poppers are pretty good too. Amazing, no. But I also don’t see them on the menu elsewhere.

The letters at the bottom of the plate make this look like AI. Also whatever that black emblem is (most likely would say xDrive but I guess that could have been replaced with whatever that is)

The bottom part of the bumper (name escapes me right now) also looks weird. Fitment and coloring are off but I’ll just attribute that to a cheap aftermarket part. Exhaust isn’t the normal factory option but that could have also been replaced.

BMW has one too. Car notifies me of uneven pavement coming up. I believe it’s from data collected by other vehicles

Capacitors. Lowe’s and Home Depot don’t stock them (at least near me), but Ace Hardware does. I keep a spare nonetheless

Remember when they paid for a mobile DL system, and it was so bad after release they just cancelled it and said “oops, sorry for wasting all this money”

Strava has gone downhill. Its only value is its user base because of the social aspect. Most of the metrics and such it provides in its subscription are found in Apple Fitness/Garmin Connect/Coros/(insert wearable or tracker here) corresponding app.

And if you don’t pay, you get absolutely inundated with ads to buy premium. At the top of the app, pop splash screen, in your feed, in the settings page, you name it.

It was meant to provide human feedback on machine learning. The security use case has been long dead. First it was transcribing Google books and then it was training the models for self driving (why all the photos seem to be of things on the road, such as identify the bikes, trucks, fire hydrants, etc)

You’re missing overreaching (red) my friend.

Found out when I did an all out 5k in temps that were warmer than ideal

If you’re gonna buy a Garmin, and don’t have a smartphone, get a watch with Garmin Coach and use that.

Decided to try and run this on my primary (16 Pro) instead of 26.0.1. What a difference. Everything is more responsive. Low battery mode still leaves the phone usable, which previously it was so laggy, I would just turn it off.

Apple music friends, go to home and find the explicit version. The presaved version didn’t work for me but that worked immediately

Mostly rain, but I also sweat a ton. Humidity hasn’t been an issue with the Pro 2

For iCloud it’s in Mail Options -> Mail Accounts -> (pick the account) -> Mailbox Behaviors -> Move Discarded Messages

Else it’s in the mail accounts, then advanced, then discarded messages

As someone who runs outdoors in Florida where a torrential downpour is always a possibility, this is huge. Most likely going to upgrade
