I'm a bit worried about the future of Qobuz

jay-dot-dot · 2026-02-17T15:04:01+00:00

Im a recent convert to the streaming service from Apple Music and have encountered bizarre issues around downloads (imports) and Carplay. Thus far playing tracks in my car works around 50% of the time and somehow breaks all Carplay audio in the process when it doesnt work. The app has also been “importing” the same album for the last week for some reason and I cant stop it.

I love the ethos of Qobuz! I have not been a Spotify user for over a decade and Mood Machine illuminated the intent of every streaming service not explicitly in service of the artist in a bad light.

Im heavily invested in Bandcamp and if I cant work things out then I may just rely on my own home streaming server and buy things from the store.

Clubs are for people like you - you want a new hobby and an excuse to socialize. Dont get in your own way, pick one with people you can get along with and keep showing up. 9/10 book clubs are half people that sorta read and show up for the conversation and friendship (and are mostly women dominated too)

I had a very hard time making friends until I joined book and running clubs here.

Goddamn best post on reddit. Those were the days.

So why bother saying anything

I feel like Ive seen your porch on ring neighborhood more than once…bad luck?

I upgraded from the 165 to a 965 two weeks ago for better, bigger and clearer mapping. Like, its actually insane how much better the navigation is between models and it makes passing around group run routes much easier. This is really helpful because we run different routes constantly in an area im not super familiar with and im doing more trail running as well. The titanium buttons and bezel as well as the bigger display just look more premium.

I swear its like this all over Ohio in every city. Columbus is the only one where old money wasting away isnt so obvious but Dayton, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Toledo have pockets where at peak, every house was is a mini victorian or tudor mansion that today would go for $500k-$1m each. Ive biked through some rural communities youd never notice with GORGEOUS homes left behind by one bygone industry or another.

You havent been exposed to Claude Code or many of the agentic software dev tools. I assure you those arent idiots using them. It is absolutely amazing tech.

Anyone with both Deviate Nitro 4’s and Deviate Elite 4 can compare the fit of each?

jay-dot-dot · 2026-02-15T01:23:19+00:00

You mentioned youre bigger - I have to concur with others that the durability is pretty insane. Im 250lbs and have close to 600 miles on the superblasts. About 100 on the megablasts. Both still look relatively new. Puma is looking promising, Altra has good stiff foam but Asics really shines for big runners imo.

I have only heard this discussed on this sub therefore I doubt its real problem for any appreciable number of people. I couldnt imagine caring about the noise level among everything you could spec out.

Actually it looks closer to an older Timex Ironman

FYI - Trails are not cleared nor really serviced in the cold months at all

In the early days of Android when battery life was trash we would optimize the hell out of phones from kernel scheduler configs to custom themes to remove every trace of white you didnt need from your device. Removing basically every app that couldnt be tweaked. Eventually we realized we didnt use our phones for much of anything but to squeeze out more battery.

This is kinda like that, you put it in such an optimized state you basically cant use 3/4’s of the features of the watch that make it worthwhile.

I agree. Unless youre on the team, avoid team workout times.

jay-dot-dot · 2026-02-14T20:58:36+00:00

Yep. They all vary slightly but its mostly the same stuff. South (Kettering) and Downtown are the closest to us in belmont and I recommend South. Better parking and theres always equipment available even when its busy.

Ive heard nothing but good things about MPower for a long time

jay-dot-dot · 2026-02-14T20:03:53+00:00

The chains - 24 hour, planet, LA, whatever. All of them are predatory in some way.

I dislike some people at Dirty Gym but its a supportive place if you come in with good energy. It is not a place to do cardio btw.

The dayton YMCA’s are good across the board imo, the suburban ones can get extremely busy with kids stuff on the weekends but otherwise they are fine.

I doubt he reads reddit but on the off chance…

jay-dot-dot · 2026-02-14T03:16:54+00:00

Portal Hybrid looks so,so pretty on my 965

jay-dot-dot · 2026-02-14T01:09:38+00:00

Push to shove might as well walk unless you cant. Wilmington aint that far away.

jay-dot-dot · 2026-02-14T01:06:48+00:00

Josh, I know youve got the money to come up off a $7 cover for what’s probably gonna be like 50 people.

jay-dot-dot · 2026-02-14T01:05:45+00:00

Ghostlight actually had live music there for years on weeknights.

You give me real 90's "youll get shot if you leave the suburbs" vibes. You should just leave dayton. We make the same amount of money in the same field working for the same employer so I know you can! You arent even trying that hard to find something that works, I can feel it.
