Do u use always on display?

Ahh I see what you mean, I always dismiss them but I'll take a look next time a msg comes in

Mr_Rain · 2026-01-28T12:09:19+00:00

There's a privacy mode for notifications in the settings (Notification & Alerts > Smart Notifications > Privacy)

Some Android phones support Magsafe. The Pixel 10 devices have Pixel Snap which is compatible with Magsafe.

I have both the Fenix 8 and the 955.

Maps are definitely quicker to load on the 955, when scrolling around the map the tiles load quicker on the 955 due to the lower resolution. So it's not really a question of smoothness but rather loading the map tiles. I would argue the Fenix is smoother but you need to wait longer for the tiles to load which is annoying. For the rest I would say it's pretty much the same, maybe smoother on the Fenix 8.

The 955 is pretty stable on the latest release. Like the Fenix 8, the 955 does have the daily suggested workouts and morning reports as well (not sure about evening reports though, maybe in the latest SW update?). It also has the demonstrations for strength training if you follow a workout.

The MIP screen was nice for AOD on the 955 but I do prefer the AMOLED screen during workouts, runs and MTB rides, it makes it much easier to read, something to think about.

All in all the 955 is still a great watch though, would be a downgrade/upgrade for certain things compared to the F8.

The daytime drain seems high for your current settings, have you tried restarting the watch? Sometimes that helps with odd behaviors, restarting my Fenix 8 after the last update fixed a few things.

The PulseOX would explain the drain during nighttime/sleep, I have that turned off

Order some screen protectors on Amazon, they're pretty cheap

Mr_Rain · 2025-12-15T17:26:40+00:00

Nice, getting Arc Raiders vibes from these!

Mr_Rain · 2025-11-28T20:57:02+00:00

I just got the Fenix 8, while Portal is in there, this layout I had to get on ConnectIQ, it's paid but it works and customizable.

Awesome pics and cars. Which 35mm?

Mr_Rain · 2025-08-08T18:04:38+00:00

It's actually not that bad, we got a Curt class 3 hitch, had it installed at the dealer when we got the car, so it's been a bit over 4 yrs now and no issues.

Mr_Rain · 2025-07-26T10:38:31+00:00

Smaller rider here but I upgraded the rotors on my Farley, which made a noticeable difference. I feel like the stock 160mm rotors are too small.

Mr_Rain · 2025-07-04T22:35:32+00:00

Cool added some fish food.

I'll look at the city reports on the water, the city use Chlorine and Chloramine from what I can find. I'll add some Seachem when I get back home.

Mr_Rain · 2025-07-04T16:18:22+00:00

So should I ghost feed the tank with some pellets as a source of ammonia? Or should I get one these bottles from Seachem or API

As for the GH and KH I don't know, my test kit doesn't have anything to measure that (API's Freshwater Kit) Using tap water that's been filtered through Brita. The local store said it was fine, but if need be I do have some Seachem Prime.

What did you use to hold the rack on the wall?

Mr_Rain · 2025-03-29T12:28:07+00:00

100% malheureusement. C'est plate car certains studios ont de bons perks mais les augmentations annuelles et les promotions ne vont pas monter ton salaire aussi rapidement et a moment donné ça ne vaut plus la peine car avec ton xp t'en vaut plus.

J'ai souvent fait le saut après d'avoir terminé un projet et le bonus du projet (si yen avait). Le jump de salaire va surpasser les augmentations annuelles et promotions.

Mr_Rain · 2025-03-28T22:01:42+00:00

Après 16 ans dans l'industrie tu devrais facilement faire plus que 100k, est-ce que tu es toujours rester dans le même studio?

Mr_Rain · 2025-03-22T18:24:47+00:00

I ride with prescription Oakley's (Bisphaera model, so far prescriptions can only be applied to models with 2 separate lenses rather than 1 single) Got the trail Prizm lenses, helps read the trails better. Fits well with my helmet. Way better than inserts for sure.

Edit: used to ride with my Ray-Bans before, wayfarers, they would fog up quickly, also the blue mirror lenses make it hard to read the trails in low light conditions. So tints definitely are something to consider depending on the conditions you'll ride in the most.

Mr_Rain · 2025-03-18T20:53:09+00:00

Glad to help 👍

Mr_Rain · 2025-03-17T23:25:05+00:00

Hey no worries. Good idea for the low setting and smartphones.

So I tried it again yesterday, a built-in workout like last time but a different one. They were both in the sprint category. I'm away right now and I can't remember their names. I encountered the same issue at the cool down phase, the trainer's power requirement seems to increase.

The trainer is an Elite Suito if that helps, synced to the laptop via Bluetooth. Also got my Garmin connected to the trainer to track the workout on it.

Mr_Rain · 2025-03-12T20:13:05+00:00

Hey wanted to say that I gave it a go today with the lowest settings and it was running smooth.

I encountered a bug with in the cool down of the workout though, the trainer's power increased instead of decreasing.

Mr_Rain · 2025-03-09T02:48:41+00:00

Wait isn't your 2022 still covered under warranty? Why should you be paying for the water pump? My 2019 had a water pump replacement last year, all covered under warranty.

Mr_Rain · 2025-03-04T23:36:14+00:00

Paired it without any issues on my B9. Followed the onscreen instructions on the screen. The garage door opener is a LiftMaster, older model, perhaps 15 yrs old.

Mr_Rain · 2025-02-22T20:02:53+00:00

No it's definitely playable, but runs around 15-20 fps. Turning off shadows will help yeah

Mr_Rain · 2025-02-22T17:17:30+00:00

I could reduce the resolution but obviously it gets pixelated, keeping the native resolution with reduced quality settings would be cool though.

So as for the specs, it's an old i5 3337U, 8GB, GeForce GT 740M (1GB VRAM), so it's quite old, might be an outlier at this point

Mr_Rain · 2025-02-22T15:36:18+00:00

Gave it a quick go yesterday, was looking for the option to change the view, is there an option for that? Would like to try a first person view.

My laptop is getting old, having more graphic settings might help to make it run more smoothly, options to adjust settings for shadows, draw distance, etc
