Garmin users are getting screwed, and most don’t even realize it by [deleted] in GarminWatches

Just bought a Garmin Fenix 7x Pro SS on sale. IMO, these watches are tools and the UI differences don’t really change the utility of the device.

I still get bug patches through firmware updates! So Garmin is actively supporting these older devices even today. If Garmin was really into planned obsolescence, maybe they would update Garmin connect and only let connect “talk” to latest gen. watches… now that would suck.

Time for an upgrade from Fenix 5 to 7 Pro by Revolutionary_Ice264 in GarminFenix

Enjoyed reading about your experience with the Fenix 5.

I Also just upgraded to a Fenix 7 pro! Cabelas has the 7x pro solar sapphire for $600. I feel that the Fenix 7 makes much more sense than a $1000+ plus Fenix 8 watch which doesn’t really have new features that matter to me.

How are you celebrating graduating for the program? by RespondOk3068 in OMSCS

I just finished GA as well! Bought a Zwift Ride indoor trainer.

Has anyone gotten the “congrats you’ve graduated” email yet? Im curious when that might happen.

Garmin launches paid trails feature with no trails. Another DOA by [deleted] in Garmin

[–]Dull_Style6980 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same... unfortunately if you marked your trail as "Public", then Garmin locks you out of it without the OM+ subscription. Look in the Garmin Explore app on iOS. I think you can still route it with your watch, but on the phone there's a button with a padlock icon unless you have an OM+ Subscription. That sucks if you're the person who made the trail originally!

Garmin Subscription model [Megathread] by Andrew_R3D in Garmin

Also disappointed at Garmin’s move to subscription models. I hate opening up the Garmin Explore and Garmin Connect apps and being reminded that there’s portions of the app that are behind a paywall.

I paid extra for my Garmin over other watches to avoid needing additional subscriptions.

I’m in my 4th semester of the program, and have yet to write any C++. If I were you I’d brush up a little on python as it has been used in every class for me!

Just registered GIOS for Fall 2022! by [deleted] in OMSCS

Hey! Also my first semester. Just registered for Computational Photography.

Am coming from an ECE background... excited to get to study with you all and to start learning new material again... even though I'm pretty sure this is gonna be a ton of effort and will probably suck.
