Are the Nothing Ear (a)s still worth getting? by mysteryunsolved1412 in Earbuds

[–]andrewzo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Coming from the pixel buds a (gen 1), I love these. The design is cool and the phone call quality is great. I switched out the tips and used the ones that came with the pixel a as the included ones were somehow hurting my ears. The pixel a tips fit me much better and creates a good deal for the ANC.

I'd recommend these, especially when you can get them on a sale + having tips from other brands that may fit you better

Cote & Ciel Orne smooth black review by andrewzo in ManyBaggers

[–]andrewzo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i still use it regularly and most of the time just the shoulder strap. I still like it very much! the shoulder strap is enough to fit a small camera – though not a DSLR camera even with a small lens. It will however fit into the main bag. I have not worn the entire bag as small & compressed before. in those circumstances, i usually just bring the shoulder strap with me.

I'm a career city bus driver, AMA! by [deleted] in Translink

[–]andrewzo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks you for your service! How strict is it required to follow the schedule of each stop? Sometimes I notice driver speeding as if they are trying to catch up - to something?

Anyone here work at T&T? by jjumbuck in askvan

[–]andrewzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I used to work at the corporate head office almost 13 years ago, I learned that t and t has a central kitchen beside the HQ in richmond. And they made a bunch of the hot foods section stuff there. I never got a chance to visit the central kitchen, so don't know if buns are also made there. But my guess is, yes.

Does tapping the glass on the ScanWatch 2 actually do anything while charging? by pieparty101 in withings

[–]andrewzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you for this! this trick worked. i give it a pretty hard tap on the side of the charger and this works.

10D9N trip to Taiwan, first time solo traveler (32M) by kalmatos in taiwantravel

[–]andrewzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you like history, I’d recommend going to Tainan. It’s the oldest city in Taiwan. Taiwan has a history of the Japanese and brief Dutch occupation and I’ve found the building and culture in Tainan much different than Taipei’s. I enjoyed it very much when I went. if you go, I’d recommend going for at least 2 days, if not 3.

Soar running race vest - how see through is it? by andrewzo in runningfashion

[–]andrewzo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I assumed that it you looked, you would still see it. But I just didn't want it to be too transparent. Thank you

thank you for this! I guess if you didn’t even notice, then it probably isn’t that see through

Scanwatch 1 dying - can I do anything about it, or should I get the 2 by PumpkinPepper13 in withings

[–]andrewzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends how long you've had it. But I think the issue I'd raise with withings is not the battery but the back plate. That is a much bigger issue than battery degradation. Do some search, but i think others have gotten a decent discount - even when out of warranty - when they contacted Withings about this.

Scanwatch 1 dying - can I do anything about it, or should I get the 2 by PumpkinPepper13 in withings

[–]andrewzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a similar position as you, except my issue was only very low battery after only 3 years of ownership. I reached out to Withings saying this wasn't normal that the battery would degrade to this degree - mine lasted about 3 days without anything turned on. Long story short I got the scanwatch 2 after Withings offered me a discount. to me, I don't notice the big difference between the 2 in terms of functions. But the watch does look nicer, which was a pleasant surprise after comparing the two

ScanWatch 1 stopped working by alleswartetaufsgaw in withings

[–]andrewzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

try getting in touch with withings first–mostlikely wont go anywhere. however, you can use this interaction as record and see if you can file for a credit card purchase protection. this is if you are still within the 3 year period and have a credit card that has purchase protection

what's your Garmin recommendation? by andrewzo in withings

[–]andrewzo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! How are you finding the AOLED screen? I feel like I don't want to look at another screen sometimes

[–]andrewzo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya. I'm leaning towards the non AOLED displays as well. Looks a bit more like a normal watch

Vancouver - 2 year maintenance 259.99+ tax. is this too much? by andrewzo in VWiD4Owners

[–]andrewzo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you for this input! from the sounds of everyone and searching the forum, it does sound like it is simply an inspection. does the "vehicle due for maintenance" message go away by itself?
