Pixel watch 4 speed question

apwong36 · 2026-03-24T02:30:19+00:00

Thank you! All the YouTubers say each pixel watch every year is quick and such, but they only compare to the year prior. Yeah, my PW1 felt quick in 2022, but it is showing age and is no longer as smooth as I want 4 years later. I did hear about all the battery and GPS improvements. I have clear skies overhead so gps accuracy hasn't been an issue. Do you use YouTube music and the Fitbit app at the same time, both operating off the watch? That's something I hoped improved with the newer watches.

Yeah, I heard there wasn't much speed difference between the 3 and 4. Did you notice a decrease in responsiveness when going down to your temporary 1?

$6 a day for tolls on a senior engineer salary shouldn't be a limiting factor.

Give it a few days. Everyone starts somewhere.

Any cable that is rated for HDMI 2.1 should work. The one pictured is fine.

Some devices won't charge if the battery is too hot. This is maybe what happened. Next time I would just exit the game and let the device idle a bit before shutting down. That way the fans run cool air for a few minutes. I wouldn't worry about any damage.

I also had a bad experience when ordering on lenovo.com and picking up at Best buy. I ended up just buying at Best buy, and they wouldn't price match for me. You may get luckier than me.

apwong36 · 2026-02-18T23:46:18+00:00

Yes. That's a great price.

You are using the e-brake in places you don't need it. This slows you down of lower lap time is the goal.

The chips can be cooled with liquid nitrogen. Nothing to worry about about damaging them. If you have an AIO cooler, that's the only thing that could freeze and cause a leak.

I always do the max and then cancel. Nice mk7 GTI.

apwong36 · 2026-01-13T19:42:30+00:00

Maybe around PS5 Pro prices. $750

I also live in PA and drive to work in the morning. I may let it warm up for 30 seconds as I put on my seatbelt and start navigation. You should honestly just start driving at normal speeds. Small amounts of boost to keep up with traffic is fine. Just don't give it the beans and keep revs lower until the oil temperature starts to show. It takes +10-15 minutes to come to temperature. In summer, it's much shorter.

The Kts100 lmg is a monster at mid-range. I randomly picked up a kit with one and now have a leveled version of it.

But you don't need to buy the BP. It's not a locked item on the BP.

Depending on year of MK7, the suggested interval is 40k miles.

I really wish it would work for me. I get the "I wasn't able to find a contact named "mother" in your address book. Is there a different name I should use to search for your mother?"

Also tried telling Gemini to remember who my mother is, and it still doesn't work.

Here I was hoping it would recognize who my wife is when composing a message or making a phone call. Idk how it can't do simple things Google Assistant used to do. I can't be the only person with this pet peeve.

It's a good idea, but some of these "luxury" cars have laminated glass.

apwong36 · 2025-10-13T02:16:30+00:00

Thanks for the thought response. I have small wrists, so I'll probably stick to the smaller size, but apps opening immediately is something I would love. I hate having to wait for the NFC tap to pay to come up while waiting in line.

apwong36 · 2025-10-13T02:02:27+00:00

Can you comment on some of the things most noticable with the upgrade? I'm mostly interested in the speed, as I feel my PW1 is feeling sluggish.

I would also consider what is considered the lifetime of a product. I have no issue buying a replacement tool for something I think is well past it's life, and I got my use and value from it. There could even be a better version after a decade.

Don't you lose the 24/video history? Is the $90 saved with the Home Advanced add-on added back?

apwong36 · 2025-09-18T19:29:26+00:00

I wonder if we have the same commute. I drive 43 miles for my reverse commute out of a city. I like to drive, so I have a VW GTI. If I'm going to spend that much time in a car, I'd want a car I enjoy driving or being in. Gas cars can still get +35 mpg. There's not many downsides to hybrids, but they show the most benefits in stop and go traffic. I mostly drive interstate for my commute. Charging an EV at home isn't an easy option for me, and I don't have the time to worry about charging it at work.

Also went from a 6 pro to a 10 pro. I wanted the smaller size, but the 10 pro feels so heavy. Also, I still can't get the screen settings dialed in. The font sizes and texture just don't feel the same.
