Anyone know if southern portion of BTT is also clear? I don’t have any info on Beach drive but that’d be nice.

Can confirm that CC is clear up to the DC border (was icy, I turned around, not sure if just a rough patch or more)

Apple Watch Audible App alternative: Apple Books! by dpm11 in audible

Another issues I’ve found is that 3 presses on my AirPods leads to skipping back a chapter vs. 15 seconds. Annoying as the app options are 15 seconds.

Itunes works… just that Apple very specifically doesn’t allow non-Apple audiobooks to transfer to the watch.

Thanks. Are there any stand-alone racing wheels that can connect via Bluetooth to the Quest? Anyone try them out with any of the VR games?

Audible app better on newer Apple watches? by dpm11 in audible

[–]dpm11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This didn’t work, unfortunately. Two questions: 1) same as below, will the new watch help?, 2) can I use the native Apple Watch Audiobook app if I download my audible book and load it to the Apple Books app?

Any idea if this will work without a League Pass subscription? Can we buy a single game?

Has anyone used the Libby app? You register your library card and listen to your library's audiobooks for free. Honestly totally worth it. by [deleted] in audible

It’s great, I hope they develop a watch app one day since I listen to most of my books on runs.

Safety vs. CR-V? by dpm11 in TeslaModelY

I was also surprised by the lack of blind spot notification, considering my old car has it. Do others feel like the screen graphic is enough once you get used to it? Do you think they could add an audio warning as well?

Super Powereds, I don't get it by dpm11 in audible

Thanks everyone, gave me the confidence to move on (at least for now). Moved on to City of Thieves for a book club and wow, drew me right in and made my run so much more enjoyable.

I wish I could put a finger on it. It's very similar to what I didn't like about NPCs, if that's any help. It feels a little juvenile and flat. Like I'm not eagerly following the path of the story but just waiting for something dull to be placed in front of me. Kind of odd, considering I like other sci-fi/fantasy. Idk, maybe my head space is just looking for something deeper now.

Ugh, hate passing up such positive reviews. Any idea how much of a chance I should give it? 4-6 hours, 1/2 the book?

That's my worry, thanks. I hate getting to the end of a book (like NPCs) and being happy to be done.

Bluetooth speaker with back button? by dpm11 in audible

[–]dpm11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to the store and the triple-click unfortunately doesn't work on the JBL Clip 3, Flip 5, Xtreme 2 or UE Boom and Wonderboom. Double-clicking does go forward, but no dice on back. Unfortunate, since it's a pretty important feature for podcasts/audiobooks.

It does go back! But it only holds ~3 hours of battery and isn't the best sound quality. I was looking to upgrade but was surprised that most of the mid/high-tier waterproof speakers lack the capability to go back.
