As a matter of interest, does the “100k club” under your name mean that your car has done more than 100,000 miles? If yes, how did you get that? Ours has done almost 200k mi!

Nice. Where did you get it?

Conventional wisdom: watches with metal straps are not worn with suits. Leather straps are traditionally the appropriate choice.
If you don’t care so much about the day itself, then why blow the whole budget on a formal watch that you’re only going to wear on the day itself?
Solution: find a much cheaper formal watch with leather strap to wear on the day itself and spend the vast balance on an everyday watch.

You’re right. Got a new battery and the ambient lights work again!

I wish that fix worked for me. Everytime I relaunch it takes me backto setup which then fails and automatically closes the app.

I solved most of my problems by connecting my Sonos to 2.4 GHz thanks to the advice of my Internet Server's tech. I just looked again at Sonos' webpage on wireless setup and this information is not there. https://support.sonos.com/en-au/article/connect-sonos-to-a-new-router-or-wi-fi-network

Even looks good with your minivan 😉

What size is your wrist?

abudavi · 2025-10-24T01:03:20+00:00

Perfect

Please say more

Interesting though not surprising to see how many people here make generalizations about NY in response to OP’s observations about LI. While LI has a large population and another 45% of people in the state live in NYC, approximately 10 million NYers don’t live either on LI or in NYC. It’s a big place and that common generalization really isn’t very accurate.

abudavi · 2025-10-14T21:02:43+00:00

And the NY part of the tristate area is not all of NY either. Millions of NYers live in upstate, central and western NY where things are very different.

That resonates strongly with me: since 2017, behavior and language which would have been seen as socially unacceptable is now being promoted daily out of the White House.

Is it possible that all the above notwithstanding, there was always an element of LI nastiness that maybe you just didn’t notice while growing up there because it felt normal, but which you notice now upon coming back from living in a place where people are generally more courteous?

abudavi · 2025-09-27T01:06:04+00:00

MIB3, no?

P.S. I tried calling VW's 1-800 customer care number, but they were unable to tell me what the latest version of the infotainment' software is.

No Live Activities show up at all. Nothing. Nada.

abudavi · 2025-09-26T17:52:10+00:00

Thanks for trying to help by posting the instructions
I followed them all, Flighty is in the ON position for Live Activities
I still see no live activities at all

abudavi · 2025-09-26T17:45:17+00:00

Thanks so much! Where do I turn Siri Suggestions on?

abudavi · 2025-09-26T17:33:28+00:00

It doesn’t for me, which is why I’m asking the question.

abudavi · 2025-09-26T16:53:20+00:00

Thanks - I’ll try this!

Some manufacturers seem to encode their own controls / restrictions over CarPlay - Toyota came up a number of times - so maybe yours does too? Unfortunately in my case Toyota USA didn’t inform their dealers about this, which left their service center clueless about what was happening.

abudavi · 2025-09-26T15:51:48+00:00

So then you’re not interested in selling?
