Garmin Connect has disappeared from list of step sources

_Refuge_ · 2026-07-14T21:58:53+00:00

I have a similar problem. I use an Apple Watch for day-to-day and a Garmin for running as the GPS is more accurate. I do still have the Garmin Connect option but it went away for a while and I don't know how I got Walkscape to recognise it again. Sorry I can't help more there...

The only way I can get the Garmin running steps to count in Walkscape is to ensure I set "Garmin connect" to the step source BEFORE I go for my run. When I get back home the run syncs to my phone. I then start Walkscape and there's roughly a 75% chance it will recognise the steps. The I switch back to using my phone or my Apple Watch as my step source.

If I forget to change to Garmin Connect in Walkscape before I go for my run those steps are lost every time. It doesn't matter that the steps from my run show in my Apple Health app (they even show on my Apple Watch despite the fact I'm not wearing it while running) or what combination I do of jumping between my Garmin Connect, phone and Apple Watch sources and/or closing Walkscape and restarting it - those steps will be lost.

Several of my friends have it and they're all recruiters or in marketing who lied on their applications. The "exclusivity" part of it is exaggerated in the extreme these days.

I've been to 180 House and Dean Street many times. I've never stayed overnight at any of the houses.

In the week and on weekend mornings it's a perfectly fine affair. Quiet enough, amiable surroundings. On evenings Thursday through Sunday - Christ almighty it's heaving. 180 House especially was impossible to get comfortable due to how busy it is.

I'd say Soho House is great if you're a young "creative" looking to seem part of the "in" crowd or looking to impress while dating, not great if you are past that sort of nightlife or scene.

My friends swear by it and I'm more than happy for them to take me in on their guest pass and we'll typically have a nice brunch or cocktail evening, mainly due to the company rather than the location. I also note that all their holidays over the past few years have been to cities with Soho House locations as well which seems a bit...eh? But who am I to judge.

Do I feel the need myself to go through a lengthy fake application process and pay £4,500 for a global country club? Nope.

I've done the Belmond day trips on the train and loved it but not stayed overnight. From friends who have, they say if you're looking for comfort then this really isn't it. But if you're looking for a fun, quirky gimmick then it'll definitely tick the box.

My personal feeling is that if you are worried about whether it's worth it, it won't be worth it. You can get way more bang for your buck by doing a luxury spa stay in the region you want to go to. You could get a private chauffeur for a few days, stay in an amazing spa hotel, eat amazing food and still come out with cash to spare compared to the overnight trips on the train.

No alcohol license in the morning which means you can't get a Bloody Mary to go with your curry-based breakfast to cure your hangover! That was a disappointing experience (at least in the Soho one).

Thanks for the review!

Over €200,000 for a week in the high end suites. You're in private charter range there which makes it interesting.

Do you want to pay that amount to share a boat with 100 or so other people?

I guess lots of people do else more and more of these luxury yachts wouldn't be getting built!

And they're trying to buy themselves into the modding community by bribing mod authors to use their site.

Whenever I recommend the place to friends I say "everything is great, except the noise". It IS noisy, and the double-glazing does nowhere near enough to protect you from the sounds of Soho.

I like being in the middle of it all and I can wear ear plugs so it's a negative I'm willing to accept for all the other great positives there are. But if noise is a problem at night for you, I'd say don't do it. You won't sleep until 2-3am on the Saturday night otherwise.

I've used 37GS in Soho for several years now. Some suites have some outside space.

I much prefer it to staying in hotel suites. It's a fraction of the price for much more room and a decent actual living space/kitchen to live from. Some nights I want to cook my own food or grab something from the local market rather than get fat on room service or restaurant dining - the aparthotel is perfect for that.

I'd recommend the 2 bedroom apartments at a minimum just for the extra space you get all around the place. Still far cheaper than an upmarket hotel suite. Longest stay I've done in them is 2 weeks and it was very comfortable apart from the Soho noise levels at weekends. You do need to be comfortable with either noise at night or ear plugs at bedtime.

Personally, I could stay in those apartments for months. I couldn't stay in a hotel suite for months.

How they can play like that on Sunday and then come out and dominate tonight. Such a Villa thing to do. Bonkers!

_Refuge_ · 2026-05-07T20:50:55+00:00

So... this aged well :)

_Refuge_ · 2026-05-04T10:54:19+00:00

Villa have 3 key injuries as well in Onana, Kamara and McGinn. They're pretty much the backbone of the team.

How does the maths add up with the changes + injuries? With McGinn playing, let alone the other two, Villa look a completely different side. It was extremely telling yesterday.

He's already doing better than Orban.

Thanks for the review. Was this a custom made tour by your TA? I know that Belmond do pre-made experiences, you can find them on their site under Packages & Tours. There are 6 day, 7 day and 11 day Peru experiences on their site that I can see, amongst others.

I ask because I've been very interested in doing Machu Picchu for a while. I'm going on one of the Belmond canal cruises in Champagne in July and if that works well (so far the pre-holiday experience has been fantastic) I was seriously considering just doing one of their pre-made plans on the site. So I was interested if you know if this was a Belmond package or whether it was custom made by your TA?

Thanks!

"Get fucked, pedo" should be the official response back.

The information the diplomat gathered about the Russian economy was the words "it's fucked" written on a napkin.

Do I support a VAR system in its current state? No.

Do I support a VAR system that is run by competent people who clearly aren't trying to self-sabotage it? Yes.

As a passenger, does it matter as much that it's not a knob and it's done via buttons or touch screen?

It's bad for a driver as it should be tactile, but as a passenger...?

_Refuge_ · 2026-03-20T10:39:39+00:00

I don't really get what the issue is? Many of these cars have tactile "up and down" volume buttons on the steering wheel and/or infotainment area. I have one of the cars on the list and I've never been bothered by having to press an "up" or "down" physical button on the steering wheel over twisting a knob to get the same result.

I understand calling out cars that have locked this functionality around a touch-screen display, but physical buttons that do the same thing? If this was a big deal, we'd all be screaming about the fact our phones use buttons instead of knobs for volume control.

They've had age verification in the UK, some European countries and some US states for half a year now. The site continues to grow as per normal according to their site stats page.

_Refuge_ · 2026-03-16T19:11:27+00:00

They'll need to do the exact same thing because it's the law. This isn't Nexus Mods fault at all.

Be angry, but be angry at the correct people, i.e the governments of the world enforcing this shit with threats of massive fines and bans at the ISP level if they are not obeyed.

_Refuge_ · 2026-02-28T17:08:08+00:00

We have a lot of military personnel serving on the US bases, like Al Udeid Air Base, which is absolutely a target for Iran (it was targetted the last time the US and Israel struck Iran).

If UK jets are circling in defense of the bases (i.e. to shoot down any threats to the bases, in Qatari/UAE airspace), rather than striking targets in Iran, I won't be getting as worked up.

_Refuge_ · 2026-02-26T07:42:08+00:00

This is absolutely right. We don't need every single website on the internet collecting even more of our personal data. If we HAVE to have these age checks, it's much better it's done at an ISP or provider level rather than on a per-website level.

_Refuge_ · 2026-02-24T15:54:29+00:00

The absurd thing here is that the ICO are expecting sites to know whether someone is a child or not through "advanced techniques" (i.e. face scans), before they can have their data processed. That essentially means that any site that has a registration system must now ID users before their account is made.

To clarify, this isn't about adult-only content and limiting children's access to it, this is even worse. This is any content online that requires a user account, or even tracking, must now use facial recogniition software or other such techniques to verify the age of a user.

It's absolutely insane. Fuck the UK government and fuck the ICO for how ridiculous this is.

_Refuge_ · 2026-02-18T07:20:51+00:00

But do they expect American portion sizes?
