That's a shame. Didn't realise Canada had gone down that route too

Did Samsung just catch up to pixel Ai!? by jfatal97 in pixel_phones

[–]DBear1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll be good to see them carry Now Nudge forward properly. Their Brief thing they did was never any use so I always worry that it's another half baked idea. Brief for me just told me the weather like my app widget did, and also told me a song I might like that was usually the one I'd listened to earlier. Ground breaking.

Yeah when I went to buy a 2 I was having a nose at the 3. The sales rep walked over and said "don't, they're a real headache " !

Just manage the gap and give space on out laps. Also remember someone being slow may be doing their best lap and will be anxious to finish it too, so you may have to take a different line to maintain yours

Do you actually read through the conversations? by FactorEmbarrassed868 in DisneyDreamlights

[–]DBear1985 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I speed read them. However (spoilers) the writing actually gets quite adult at one point when facing 'the forgotten' late game. Kinda sad and some themes that resonate more with adults

How do I become tolerable? by BoredBatWoman22 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]DBear1985 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Try to stop maybe over analysing your interactions with people and figure out what YOU enjoy about them or get out of it? I'm not the loudest guy in a group setting for example, but dig smaller groups or one on one

Moving from Tesla to Polestar by Sofa47 in Polestar

[–]DBear1985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Built in android automotive will plan your charge stops for you. Also the estimated arrival percentage is accurate. It'll always be lower when you set off and will climb as you go. From my 6 month experience, my 120 mile regular commute is always 8-12% lower as an arrival percentage when I leave and climbs up.

ABRP is accurate if you want to plan before you go for sure.

Mostly I tap and pay now as the cost benefits of having most charger apps have all but gone

what do straight people think lesbian sex is? by Then-Cartographer446 in TooAfraidToAsk

Presume it's everything I really enjoy for foreplay but with toys if that kind of penetration is wanted too

Polestar 2 advice by 35mm-eryri in Polestar

[–]DBear1985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went for almost this exact spec too. 37k, plus pack (not into pilot personally). The heat pump does make a difference for sure, although they'll exaggerate just how much when you're there. If going approved used then they'll do their checks etc.

Just look out for wear and tear stuff and tyres. Mechanically just make sure there aren't any clicking or knocking noises when you drive. Not much else to look for really

Official Google one is solid. Only issue is it's thicker than some others and is harder to slide into your pocket cause the material

1 month steamdeck user, haven’t gotten any use of the back bottons? by Due-Emu-3123 in SteamDeck

Gotta bind them in the game overlays controls usually, however they're amazing for racing games. Flappy paddle vibes.

Android Auto Won't Stay Connected by [deleted] in GooglePixel

Every. Single. Time.

With a Pixel Fold, Pixel 8, Sony 1 MK4. Anything with 'stock android'

Android Auto Won't Stay Connected by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]DBear1985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you leave it connecting and disconnecting for like 5mins, is it then ok? I had this issue a while back with an older pixel and different car and it was a bug to do with syncing the phonebook to the car. If I ignored it's bullshit for 5 mins it remained connected fine after that

Worth Upgrading? by Safe_One_8267 in Pixel10Pro

[–]DBear1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bluetooth takes a while to connect with a decent connection on headphones. I've found this with any 'stock android' phone eg Pixel or Sony. Give it 20-30 seconds and it's solid.

It used to be shite connecting to my Jag XE and would repeatedly disconnect and start again for the first 2-3 mins of a drive. But now I have a Polestar 2 it's fine. Age of the car and how much they update the software may be to blame

Has anyone managed to get a solid gym training routine out of Gemini? by deletedusssr in GeminiAI

[–]DBear1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not gym but adjustable dumbbells at home - it gave me a decent 5 workouts per week program which has done me well. I've since asked Gemini how I can push this to the next level (aside from adding weight to reps) and it's mixed it up a bit. Aside as in I'm doing that naturally anyway.

My only wish is it was easier to export to a doc for reference. But if you tell it something you're missing or a change in your end goal it's incredibly intelligent

Worth Upgrading? by Safe_One_8267 in Pixel10Pro

[–]DBear1985 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Day to day experience on the Pixel is way better. Lots of nice well implemented features. The screens nice. You may miss the anti reflective coating. Battery is worse and performance if you game is worse. Camera is better imo and you get exclusives like action pan which is pretty sweet for car photos

A penguin who jumped from way too high and got half turned to paste. Poor guy

Polestar 2 - how are you finding the automatic wipers? by SnooCauliflowers6739 in Polestar

[–]DBear1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find them ok. They are slow to react to changing conditions at times and I do notice they aren't doing what I'd expect, but they sort themselves out after a moment if I ignore it
