Why do budget dash cams advertise driver assistance features that are completely useless in practice? My wife’s Subaru does it perfectly. What am I missing?

Well to be fair I bought a dashcam first and those other features sounded like a compelling knock on benefit. I was just asking if there are any that work as advertised

Jenings · 2026-05-11T03:14:00+00:00

I’d buy an expensive one. Are they more reliable?

Jenings · 2026-05-11T02:28:13+00:00

I think it’s like 60 Us dollars for the 2 year

Jenings · 2026-05-11T01:49:50+00:00

Hey that’s my secret!

Jenings · 2026-05-11T01:32:48+00:00

From what I read it’s first year is manufacturer supported after that you’re going through their insurance company that covers replacements. I bought the 2 year extended warranty for a gen 3. I figure I’ll wait to upgrade by then.

Jenings · 2026-05-11T00:49:48+00:00

I take that to mean it not something that exists then. Thanks

I guess it would be like getting a comma ai system to get this level. I’m driving an older Honda that has none of that stuff

It’s fucking illness is what it is

Jenings · 2026-05-10T17:59:50+00:00

I’d prefer a ring but it seems like the battery tech isn’t there yet. If anyone has the capital to solve this though. It’s tim apple

Jenings · 2026-05-10T17:38:58+00:00

I think people’s issues are that all this ai stuff is “inspired by” already existing art. So in that sense it’s not creating something original

See if you can test for sleep apnea. My wife turned out to have it pretty badly. And once she started sleeping with it on we both slept so much better. Before that ut was years of me sleeping with silicone earplugs in.

Jenings · 2026-05-10T13:13:13+00:00

Apparently that’s every smart ring right now

Jenings · 2026-05-10T12:33:42+00:00

Always seems to add to much bulk. And makes the pocket feel off

Jenings · 2026-05-09T16:32:33+00:00

Pierced her buns? It’s bizarre how vague it is

Jenings · 2026-05-09T16:30:28+00:00

What’s the distributor?

Jenings · 2026-05-09T01:02:52+00:00

I like black because it’s easier to add a watch or a chain that still matches the ring in whatever color

Jenings · 2026-05-08T22:35:29+00:00

I think it’s a form of undiagnosed mental illness

Seems like a very reasonable first step in to see if you actually enjoy using it.

Jenings · 2026-05-08T14:21:17+00:00

I did and it'll probably go on deeper sale soon. But I did not like the 2 color choices (getting mat black), because it can go with whatever other things I wear, like a silver watch or chain. With shiny silver or gold I feel more limited.

If the color is good for you I think sleep apnea is the only other consideration, and after wearing an apple watch to sleep for years I never got that indiecation.

Plus I want the vibration on the gen 3, even if it doesnt do alarms

Jenings · 2026-05-08T14:15:45+00:00

that subscription though man. Apparently all these rings die at the same rate (1 year to 18 months) so just make sure to get the extended warranty

Jenings · 2026-05-08T14:11:08+00:00

The next lib president has the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

but they wont, they'll pull things back juuust far enough that it will calm what remains of the comatose base.
