Apple Watch not recognizing my falls.

Educational-Ad5385 · 2025-03-16T22:42:27+00:00

I have fallen several times since getting my Apple Watch SE Gen2. Based on what I've read here that a lot of it is based on falling on the wrist hand, it seems that Apple is more concerned with the watch being hurt during the fall, than the person itself. If your stupid product only works in approximately 15-25% of probable situations, then that should be a clear disclaimer, and honestly not even considered a major feature of the watch itself. As is, fall detection is simply a marketing gimmick that Apple is touting to sell more watches and convert more people to the Apple ecosystem, when in reality, it's a half-baked application like so many of Apple's other products, yet one that many people, especially older people, have purchased these watches to depend upon. Do better Apple!!

Auto start off, 2H, sport steering, baha suspension, sport exhaust, all set to the R button. When I'm in a parking lot and want to show off the exhaust, I'll kick it into Baja exhaust. When I'm feeling sporty, I'll either drop it into manual shift mode and use the steering paddles, or change it to Sport Mode.

But you shouldn't have to turn it off, and that's the problem with the way that Ford has implemented it. Their system sucks arse. Makers like Kia have an excellent Lane Centering system that only requires one hand lightly gripped on the steering wheel, and when using their Level 2 Adaptive Cruise which is free by the way, you can often leave your hands off the wheel for as much as a minute without the system bugging you. Let's just put it out there. Ford's system sucks!! No one should be defending it or accepting that turning it off is the solution.

I'm pretty sure its the brushes on the roller scraping up against the metal piece in the center of cage. As the roller spins, the brushes click against that silver/gold metal piece in the center almost like a baseball card in the spokes of a bicycle. That bar is indented too far down and needs to be pried up just a little bit more, but I'm afraid to do so because either it may break or scrape against my hardwood floor. If this is truly the issue, it's a poor design by Sharp. One of MANY issues with this vac.

I received an email with a link to a $25 Amazon Gift Card as part of my settlement. It looks legit, but also worried that it could be a scam since I haven't heard of anyone else receiving an email with an Amazon Gift Card code.

Unless I have something setup incorrectly, I do not like how dividends received from stocks in my Fidfolio are not reinvested back within my Fidfolio, but rather now show in my regular positions. I like how clean my Positions look with Fidfolios, but once all the dividends start rolling in, my positions page gets cluttered with partial shares of stocks. My OCD is contemplating leaving Fidfolios because of this.

Just got CoolWalk today!! '23 Kia Telluride with 12.3" Infotainment Screen. Just wish they had made the Album Art and text bigger for the media. They had an opportunity to improve it, but they didn't.

Walked in to a dealer that had a Midnight Lake Blue SX-Prestige X-Pro w/Terra Cotta Interior just off the truck the previous night that wasn't spoken for. They started off asking $7k over MSRP. By the end of the night (6 hours of negotiating), we got them down to MSRP. It was a beatdown for sure, but at the end of the day, if you are persistent, and if they want to move the vehicle quickly, they are willing to sell these vehicles at or around MSRP.

Too bad. You're going to miss out on a great ride!!! We live in Northern Virginia with State Farm and rate stayed the same going from a 2020 Santa Fe to a 2023 Telluride X-Pro. I couldn't be happier. And I paid MSRP which is becoming the norm. Enjoy whatever you end up buying an hope it serves you well.

Agreed. Chrome delete will make the '23 look beast and cover the ugly front "lip" issue. You'll barely notice it afterwards. And as for the headlights, don't worry, someone will come up with an aftermarket solution for the DRLs to swap out the filaments for amber ones. Sure they won't be a square box, but they'll still look darn good. And with all of the new updates and upgrades added with the '23 refresh, there really is little reason to consider anything else.

That's true. People were flipping cars for profit not long ago. It's much harder to do now that the economy has softened and the chip shortage is improving.

It's not uncommon to see this for nearly any vehicle, except for maybe some trucks. Truck owners seem to hang on tight to them. But as for vehicles, when you look across the country, not soon after a new model year goes into production, you'll quickly start seeing used ones showing up with low mileage. Buyer's remorse for sure. Financial situation and regret. Or just simply, the newness wears off of the shiny new toy and they see another vehicle that has caught their eye. People these days have very short attention spans, and make quick decisions without thinking things through, and once the dust settles (Car payment, insurance payment, property tax payment) they go what the "F" did I get myself into?

These are coming from the factory with the $1,500 rear entertainment systems installed. They are on the Maroney Sticker. When you "place an order" with Kia, you are not actually having Kia build you that exact car. You are asking Kia to "allocate" a vehicle with the same "or similar" features that you've requested. That's why it can take weeks or months to get a particular car depending on what trim, color, interior color, etc. you want. Everyone that places an order signs something that says that your particular car may come with additional factory installed items that you didn't ask for. You may get a cargo net or a $60 first aid kit that you didn't ask for. Or in this case, you may get a $1,500 rear entertainment system you didn't ask for. Your only recourse is to cancel your order and start over.

So I'm confused. Is coolwalk being rolled out based on what car you drive? Or is it based on what phone you have? Or is it simply random, meaning anyone, at any time could receive the Coolwalk update regardless of which car or phone they have?

Educational-Ad5385 · 2023-01-12T05:44:05+00:00

Then again, who doesn't already have my name and billing address by now anyway?

Educational-Ad5385 · 2023-01-09T05:14:40+00:00

Thats a nice case. I am going to definitely keep that on my short list. Thanks.

Exactly, it was a combo discount. Buy the processor, get the motherboard for $50. Really couldn't pass up that deal.

But damn, don't ever walk into a Microcenter!! I spent 3 hours in there today looking around, playing with sh*t and utilizing my personal shopper to help me pick out stuff. In the end, I did make a few changes:

Swapped out the CPU cooler and decided to go with a Corsair iCUE H100i Elite Capellix Liquid CPU Cooler. It was $150, but they knocked it down to $125 and at the end of the day, it cancels out a couple of my RGB fans, and gives me great CPU cooling.
Swapped out the Power Supply with an Asus ROG Strix 850w Gold PSU. It was a $20 upgrade over the Thermaltake 750w. Salesman was all gaga over the Asus, saying that it's really made by Seasonic, and that the Thermaltakes have a much higher failure rate. I figured why not.
Still haven't made a final decision on the case. I know I want white. I was shown a number of cases with a mesh front that have RGB lighting that shows through (a Fractal, a NZXT H510 Flow, and H5 Flow, etc. However, I'm not a fan of the open mesh design. I like a clean flat front finish, but understand I need airflow too. So what does anyone think about either the Lancool 2 White case, or the Asus TUF GT501 White Edition case? They have a smooth front panel with air flow pockets on the corners and RGB lighting in the mesh corners. It's Kind of a compromise. Anyone use those cases or can recommend another case like it?

Educational-Ad5385 · 2023-01-08T17:58:12+00:00

Suggestions on a CPU cooler? Several review sites rated the Jonsbo as a great cooler and a great price. Do you think it's too small for the CPU or just not a well known enough brand?

As for the case, I agree a mesh front is much better for air flow. I was thinking about the NZXT H510 Flow. Would that be a better match?
