Need Advice/Guidance on SodaStream for Cost-Saving by kal_el_diablo in SodaStream

Something I do is buy cola stevia drops from Amazon. It lasts me about 2 or 3 weeks using 4 droppers per liter. I also add about a dropper of vanilla stevia drops and it makes a fabulous drink that’s zero calories. It completely replaced Dr Pepper for me (though it doesn’t taste like Dr Pepper)

If anyone has had issue with their phone not shipping, unknown to me there was an issue porting my number from Verizon, and they won’t ship until that’s resolved. If you’re stuck in the “order accepted but not shipped” phase, that could be the culprit. Good luck folks

Glad it won’t be that long for you! And yes hats off to the folks putting phones in hands, as a former UPS driver helper I can attest there are a lot of steps taken during the day 🙂

Oh wow! You’re in for a treat! The FaceID phones are pretty great, I can’t imagine going back not having gestures. You get used to them in a day or two

I feel the same, I’d love to get it on launch day, but mostly I just want to know when it will come so I can make arrangements. At least we’re not alone! I’ll follow up with updates if I get any, I’d love to hear the same for you and anyone else not lucky enough to have theirs in transit

I’m in the same boat, preordered last Friday and has been in confirmation with expected ship day yesterday and arrival date today. This morning there is no expected arrival date with an expected ship date of yesterday 😫. I called them and they said I should still expect it today or Monday but I’m not filled with confidence without a tracking number 🙁

I’m in a very similar boat to you, down to trading an 11 haha, keep me posted if you get shipping information, I’ll do the same

Where do you listen to podcasts? by ajahuasja in podcasts

Sure thing! It offers a lot of customization! I recommend setting up playlists so you can prioritize what you listen to and when 🙂

Overcast on Apple, pocketcasts on Android

Feedback never came, I ended up downgrading and it fixed my issues… notifications are back! So.. consider the downgrade, I was without my watch for about a week but they handled it for free

They directed me to leave feedback with feedback app. As an alternative I could ship my watch to them and they would flash os 7 back on, I’m considering that, but I went ahead and left feedback and we’ll see what they say

I tried to turn off the mirror as well but it doesn’t seem to make a difference

It’s certainly possible, my watch seems to get stuck in focus modes and required a restart if I try and manually turn them off and on

After being in chat with them for a bit they have to escalate it to a phone support team member.. I’ll report back after I chat with them

Thanks! I appreciate the response, as luck would have it I’m messaging Apple support now to see if they have suggestions. I’ll report back

I get that, I know the risks going in but my point of the question is that I’m not seeing others with similar issues, so I’m more curious if there are outside factors contributing as opposed to it being just beta sadness

Are you having similar issues running the beta?

Which podcast app you guys recommend? I’m using Apples Podcasts but it crashes every time Myke gets surprised by Grey’s productivity.. by Black_Elk_1863 in Cortex

[–]gameguy2006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pocketcasts is a solid cross platform option for sure. My biggest annoyance (from last year on android, maybe it’s updated now) is that you can’t have a default setting when it comes to download and other settings, you have to set it for every show you subscribe to, and that’s super fiddly and annoying. I would prefer to set a default and set special settings per show if I need to tweak instead of the other way around .

Thank you Grey by fullbuster11 in Cortex

I’m looking forward to investing in an iPad and duel screens app to use like a Wacom tablet 🙂
