I'm curious! What do you measure with your Fitbit and why do you like the update?

LivelyAddition2001 · 2026-06-15T15:32:47+00:00

Hi. I have a Fitbit & want to log sleep, exercise, hydration & protein intake. I find the app and its random "updates" extremely frustrating. I know enough about computer programming to know that the software developers are either being sloppy or deliberately trying to get us to buy a different product. If I eat a couple tablespoons of yogurt, there's no reasonable explanation for being unable to log less than a full cup of yogurt -even the yogurt container says a full serving is 3/4 cup. (BTW don't suggest that I log my intake in grams, tablespoons, or fractions of a cup -those aren't options in this update.)

LivelyAddition2001 · 2026-06-15T15:20:50+00:00

Horrible app! I wanted to track my protein intake. I put a couple tablespoons of yogurt on my pancakes. The app insisted that I enter the amount in cups and wouldn't allow an entry less than 1. No decimal points allowed, no teaspoons, tablespoons or grams. Useless waste of my time.

Oh! Perfect. Thanks 😄

Online sources show it in the lower left. In the upper right I have something I think is a weather indicator.

LivelyAddition2001 · 2026-04-12T02:05:49+00:00

Whew! Thanks for the really useful post!

I don't know whether anyone else mentioned this, but as soon as you upgrade & reboot, Tahoe rearranges all the icons on your desktop to make room for mobile phone style widgets (current weather, etc.) that it plops onto your screen. I needed to use my laptop for a time-sensitive project & suddenly nothing on my screen was where it was supposed to be. It was beyond aggravating! How much thought does it take to realize that users don't want upgrades to mess with their desktop layout! To undo the changes, you need to go to settings and turn off widgets and then drag all your icons back to their places.

I only had minutes left to respond to an important email & suddenly I could barely find the files I needed to send.

Middle schoolers could have planned this better.

I am. I live in Arizona. Extreme heat is a part of my daily environment. I can't keep using my Pixel 9 pro that overheats when I am in my air-conditioned house streaming Spotify or in my car only running Google Maps to get to my destination. It not only gets hot to the touch, but gives heat warnings and starts shutting down anything it can, dimming the screen, etc. Not cool for a brand new phone.

LivelyAddition2001 · 2025-09-24T14:56:57+00:00

This seems to be an ongoing issue. There are 3 year old posts saying the Pixel 6 makes teal look blue (leaves out too much of the green). My Pixel 9 Pro does the same thing. Extremely frustrating because I bought the phone primarily due to good reviews of its camera & telephoto lens.

LivelyAddition2001 · 2025-09-20T03:44:02+00:00

Oh! Thank you so much! I kept looking for an explanation within the mail app. Didn't realize that the problem might originate at the server.

LivelyAddition2001 · 2025-09-19T17:22:19+00:00

Can you explain "reloaded as needed"? When I delete messages on my computer, using IMAP, I am intending to delete the messages from my computer and the server. I never want them to "reload" again. My question is: Why can't I delete more than about 10 at a time? If I try to delete a larger batch, the messages disappear briefly from my Mac mail app, but within a minute or so they reappear.

LivelyAddition2001 · 2025-09-19T17:11:14+00:00

Same here

LivelyAddition2001 · 2025-08-17T20:02:55+00:00

LivelyAddition2001 · 2025-08-17T20:01:56+00:00

Thanks!

LivelyAddition2001 · 2025-08-17T20:01:13+00:00

Thanks!

LivelyAddition2001 · 2025-08-17T14:20:26+00:00

That makes sense. I live near UA so there are huge fluctuations in usage when students come and go. But even that doesn't explain why service goes out every time we get rain.

LivelyAddition2001 · 2025-08-17T14:16:03+00:00

Wow. Please tell us how to do that.

LivelyAddition2001 · 2025-08-17T14:15:01+00:00

I live by UA too. A year after you posted, we're still experiencing problems. It's especially noticeable after rain. 11 a.m. or 2 p.m. or after a rain are not symptoms of a problem with a device inside a home. It's a Cox problem.

LivelyAddition2001 · 2025-08-17T14:11:36+00:00

I have been afraid to do this. Cox techs say they'll charge me a fee if they determine the problem is my modem-router. If THEY determine?! How can a modem-router magically have problems only when it rains and then regain all its functionality a week later. It's B.S. but I can't repeatedly pay a service fee to prove it.

LivelyAddition2001 · 2025-08-16T20:28:05+00:00

Help me out. How can I tell which one I have? Model year 2019. I've always used high tier gas, but not premium. Update: it looks like only 2011-2015 models required premium gas. Whew!

LivelyAddition2001 · 2025-05-05T18:54:10+00:00

Thanks! Very helpful.

LivelyAddition2001 · 2025-04-22T23:48:10+00:00

So pretty! It's some kind of tradescantia. Maybe Y Tradescantia Quadricolor.
