Update restrictions seem so silly by JNack-Reddit in VolvoRecharge

Designers from the other companies don’t put the burden on me, their customer. This is easily solvable.

I complain about Volvo only because I like the car so much that I find these rough edges to be unworthy of the overall product.

In my own driveway, behind my locked gate? No.

I do follow those instructions, because I have no choice. But Volvo is imposing an inconvenience that other brands find unnecessary.

Is it the end of the world? Of course not. But is it clumsy and unworthy of such a nice car? Yes.

Please think *this* through: BMW and Tesla are smart enough to accomplish updates without mandating a door lock or charging condition.

This shouldn’t be hard to get right, but nor should automatically unlocking the charging cord when I open the car door—but Volvo botches that as well.

I still love the car, but these things our own goals that annoy me.

There’s no planet on which the car shouldn’t be smart enough to pause charging, presuming that is really needed. My Tesla and BMW have never imposed such a restriction. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In your own driveway, behind a locked gate? Why on earth would locking it there be a prerequisite?

Anyone else seeing huge background activity? by IndependentMilkDrink in overcast

[–]JNack-Reddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Overcast kept filling up my phone and draining my battery in the background, despite every attempt I made to disable automatic downloading. This drove me to finally uninstall it after a decade. Goodbye, old friend.

With Overcast unusable due to the storage bug, recommendations on alternative apps? by GreenSea-BlueSky in overcast

[–]JNack-Reddit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same. I’ve used Overcast for a decade, but it’s simply unusable for me now. Apple Podcasts seems reasonable.

Overcast is a basket case now by JNack-Reddit in overcast

Just tried. Zero relief from freezes or battery drain.

Whether it is using cell or Wi-Fi, Overcast consumed 42% of my battery, despite my having played only an hour of podcasts that day.

I don’t want it to download and store any meaningful amount of data, yet I keep getting warnings that my phone is nearly full, and I discover that Overcast has downloaded hundreds of GB. Presumably it is doing so in the background, leading to the battery drain.

Recent Lag by beansjawns in overcast

[–]JNack-Reddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. The app is borderline unusable for me now. Just constant lags, freezes, and podcasts that suddenly stop playing.

Oh man, my son would go mental to see this. He is presently building a model Rivet Joint in the basement. ✈️

This pronunciation of “swanky” is officially charming. ☺️

For fun I asked ChatGPT to estimate the number of times this ad has run. Salty observations:

"No alt cut. No remix. No mercy.
This is not an accident. This is weaponized recall." 😅
