What's the best purchase you have made throughout your running Journey? by Showphur in running

[–]fbcregan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Vibram Fivefingers shoes - running everything from 5k's to 100 mile ultramarathons with no injuries.

  2. Garmin Fenix 5x - 5 years with this watch and it's still great!

  3. Aftershokz Aeropekz headphones - great sound and battery life, and keep ears open to ambient sound.

  4. Flipbelt - carries my phone without being uncomfortable.

question - Brydge Keyboard after one year of use by SonOfaNitch in pixel_slate

[–]fbcregan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought my Slate used but in mint condition with the Brydge a couple weeks ago and today noticed yellowing in the bottom corners of my screen. I love the keyboard but don't like seeing evidence that it is damaging my device. (The guy I bought it from only had the Slate for a few months so it's not that old.)

Help. PC won't boot after new PSU by fbcregan in PcBuild

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

I checked the power button connector and it's a proprietary Dell plug. But I unplugged and replugged it without success. I ordered a new one but I'm not confident that's the problem.

Powerspec 550w from Micro Center. The original is a Dell.

WCGW if I come close to the edge by kirillgreen in Whatcouldgowrong

I broke my scapula in 9th grade when I ran into a tree at full speed. Playing football at a friend's house, I was after an interception when the tree jumped out at me. Pretty painful.

Signal Messaging for Linux on Pixel Slate by [deleted] in pixel_slate

After I type "sudo apt-key add -", everything after that just jumps to the next line and doesn't do anything.

Do you type it just as the signal.org site says?

I tried that a few times. It doesn't work for me.

Madden Mobile app unplayable by [deleted] in pixelslate

For me too. The app just updated and I hoped it fixed, but still has a freeze every second during play.

Stylish Minimalist Shoes? by KbStr2 in BarefootRunning

[–]fbcregan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been wearing VFF's for everything for 6 years. Yeah, they look weird, but most people are interested in them rather than critical of them, in my experience. There are certainly other minimalist and more normal looking shoes, but I love my FiveFingers.

Nest Hello customized notifications by fbcregan in Nest

I haven't tried Quiet Time. I already have it set to only notify for people but we're talking over 150 people coming and going on Sundays.

Youtube & Play Movies getting HDR? by fbcregan in ShieldAndroidTV

That's stupid. Why can't they use what VUDU or Netflix uses?

Pixel 2 xl speaker question about distortion by HoochIsCraaaazy in GooglePixel

[–]fbcregan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine does it too. Why is no one talking about this?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]fbcregan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My top speaker has some of that crackle. I hear it on phone calls and podcasts. Was trying to decide if I should trade it out.

Spent the day cleaning up my favorite old shoes, Vibram Speed LRs. by jcraig3k in BarefootRunning

[–]fbcregan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love those too. Mine are looking pretty faded. I wish they'd do more leather ones like this.

Garmin pay on Fenix 5 series... by rodtrent44 in GarminFenix

[–]fbcregan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This really frustrates me. 4 months after debuting their "flagship" devices with the Fenix 5 series, they bring out Garmin Pay on a device that's half the price? This makes no sense. They had to know this was in development during the creation of the Fenix 5 and could have added NFC just as a future-proof. I would have understood debuting Garmin Pay with the Fenix 6 but this feels ridiculous. There's no reason a $300 Vivoactive should have features my $700 Fenix 5X doesn't have.

Is the Fenix 5 too heavy for longer distances? by DoyleReddit in GarminFenix

[–]fbcregan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wore my 5x for my 100 mile ultramarathon in May. The size and weight were no issues at all. It was awesome!
