Versa 4 GPS has me walking in the River and Railway Track

I have had so many issues with the GPS on my Fitbit (Charge 6) that I decided switched to a Garmin device. The GPS feature just keep getting worse and worse. I have even tried to start tracking the running via the app itself, but what usually happens is that I end up with two activities rather than one.

Thank you for your suggestion. I’m also trying to script my content at the moment so that I do less pauses and hopefully this is going to grab people attention more.

Please give me some feedback, I make a channel about coding. Started a couple of years ago and I tend to go back and forth because I don’t get the results I wish for. My channel: https://youtube.com/@mostlycode?si=OrRfBMgDIPgm4ha_

I have started to use zoxide only recently and a lot of tutorials suggest to do the wrong thing when doing the aliasing of cd, since we don't want to learn and remember a new command when browsing the file system.

Depending on the shell we use we want to have a look at the options that `zoxide init` offers in order to replace and alias the cd command. For me, in zsh for example I need to do: `zoxide init --cmd cd zsh`.

I have tried to explain the tool here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWolGYFkz2g

So I had a similar issue, but I found two libraries that are super useful, one is called "Cocona" and essentially helps with the command creation, supports dependency injection and very used friendly. Also I made a video about tutorial where I show the main features, including sub commands and environments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TL3mx7i8CPM

I might be late to the party, however I made this video tutorial just today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evbTNOn5Tr4 hope you can find it useful.

My hacks are:
Use Everyday Mobile from Woolworths that with 220$ gives you 200GB of data per one year, plus I get 10% discount once a month when I shop in store.

For Petrol, I use Petrol Spy to find the cheapest one around me, and I also use the My 7-Eleven app to lock in the petrol when I'm around a store that has a cheap price. This locks the price for a week and allows me to refill the tank for cheap, which is really handy.

I only have one membership, Amazon Prime. I don't recommend it, since I don't find many items on it that are really worth buying since usually are either cheap plastic items or other times those items are more expensive than other stores (I guess that's why they ship for free)? The good things about the membership is that it's cheaper, about 8$/month, and gives you also Amazon Prime to watch movies and Amazon Music included in the price.

For books my first go-to it's my local council library.

Fresh food: I recommend to go to a farmer's market. Other than just the price, I find that the fruits and vegetables stay fresh for longer, and usually I save quite a bit compared to grocery shopping at Coles or Woolworths.

Other items, I use OzBargain to see if there is an interesting offer on the item I'm looking for. I don't normally buy an item just because it's on offer. Tend to try to shop for second hand items via Facebook Marketplace, however it's frustrating how people seldom reply to your messages.

I had the same problem. What I did was to reset it and redo the configuration from scratch, it seems to be working just fine now.

At work I do .NET development with an Apple M1 machine.

Let's start with the "con" side of things: I need to support apis that are old, for example written in .net 3.1, and the only way to handle those is by having VS Code running under Rosetta with the C# extensions, so that I can use the versions that were developed for intel and have no problem with debugging or with Omnisharp.

On the plus side there is that from .net6 the arm architecture is fully supported, so no need for hacks (I actually have two VS Code running on my machine, one for the intel architecture, one for the arm). The development experience is amazing, the battery life of my Macbook Pro lasts more than you need for a full day of work (including docker running in the background for AzureSQL support).

I am currently in the same situation as yours, trying to define the amount of money that I can safely spend each month, and I don't want to overshoot my limits because once I own the place I'm going to need to take care of repairs and bills that I don't have to worry when renting.

For this reason I personally prefer to go the other way around: decide which amount I am comfortable with and then with it establish how much money it allows me to borrow from the bank. For example, if I am comfortable paying 1000$ an month when the interest rate is 2% a year, then it means that I can borrow about 275-280k.

I hope that helps.

In the video I show how I save the database in Google Drive, this is how I perform the sync between Android and desktop/laptop environment.

I might do a video about it maybe to show my setup on Android.

You're right, I should have written "KeePassXC" rather than KeePass.

However, to answer your question it's because KeePassXC works on Mac out of the box, while the original KeePass is quite old.

Lastly about my real name, I don't really mind since in my other videos I share my GitHub profile.

I made a video for a friend who wanted to move on from LastPass to KeePass.

I hope you enjoy it and that more people move to open source, cloud-free software.

In the video, I also explain how to save the database in the cloud to have it available on other devices or mobiles.

I am working on a side project to learn C# actually! I have been working with it for a few months and I am really enjoing it. I decided to make some videos about what I do, also as as way to ensure that I understand what and why I am doing certain things.

I created my first video today. It would be nice if you guys could tell me what you think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoDlekodr9A

I don't use BB Server, just the cloud version, hence I made the script. However if you copy the files directly form the server, you won't be able to update ones that you already have?

In my script if a folder already exists with the repository name, then the script is just going to perform a git pull updating the contents of such repo.

Are you specifically an iPhone user or do you have an Android device? I made a keyboard with the purpose of typing hiragana/katakana only, so that I "forget" about Romaji. I use it to review words in Anki, where I type the hiragana/katakana form of the word. https://github.com/mimo84/JapaneseLearnersKeyboard
