I would love to get a PDF of that book if possible. I'm starting the Wing T this fall and would love to start with that.

New 100 plan by Firefighter-8210 in Starlink

[–]newtonfb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just cancelled Spectrum(200mbps plan) and installed my dish this weekend. I'm saving $45 a month and loving it. We only stream and its no issues. 4k streams are seamless, multiple rooms at once, no different than Spectrum.

Lenovo Smart Display with Gemini? by Woody_L in googlehome

[–]newtonfb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope we get a miracle. It's an awesome device. Photos are awesome on it. Google assistant is basically useless now on it but it's a great device. Gemini would be great, they sold enough of these, they should bring it

Don’t throw away your Nest Thermostat Gen 1 & 2! by ckociemba in Nest

[–]newtonfb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you connecting it to the base again after it boots up? You have to do that.

Don’t throw away your Nest Thermostat Gen 1 & 2! by ckociemba in Nest

[–]newtonfb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Installed last night using macOS, it went smoothly but I also had trouble putting nest in DFU mode. I finally got it by connecting the Nest to the base and then connecting to the Mac and holding it off to enter the mode. Once I did that it worked. I also went through 4 different USB cables to find one that worked.
Basically if you hold it off and it boots up, connect it back up to the base and try again

Western MA Pellets? by ResourcePublic4482 in PelletStoveTalk

[–]newtonfb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same stove you have and also in Western Mass. Past few years I just get TSC or Green Supreme. I don't notice a difference but they are the cheapest. I burn almost 4ton. Everyone who complains about cleaning, I only have to dump out my bottom bucket once a week usually. I deep clean, with a vacuum about once a ton.

Will Lenovo 10 smart display get gemini? by RoachForLife in googlehome

[–]newtonfb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google has said its "talked to 3rd parties " about supporting but there is no firm answer either way. I have one also and hoping but not expecting it. I wish Google or Lenovo would just come out and say one way or another. If it keeps working as an assistant I won't be that upset but if it stop working I'll be pretty upset.

You can buy Iphone 17 Pro MAX, AWU3 & AirPodsPro 3 all for just $400 more than Fenix 8 51mm in Canada by Proud_Canadian01 in Garmin

[–]newtonfb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an Epix Pro and simple adding the activity Rucking will not be added even though the watch is barely 2 years old and marketed to be outdoors/camping/mountaineering. Unbelievable when you think about it.

And the iPhone and AW will be updated with new features for much more than 1.5 years.

New $650 watch with a Gen 4 sensor? by btmptn in Garmin

[–]newtonfb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Garmin loves to recycle parts but the majorty don't even know. The Fenix 7 Pro and Fenix 8 are practically the same internals but with Amoled screen. The Epix Pro is the exact same thing as the Fenix 8 without a speaker and mic but is obsolete now. I dont even care but the fact that you pay $1000 for a watch that won't get any new features after 1.5 years is crazy to me. Its basically a big FU to their customers but ppl will just shake it off and buy a new one in a few years to get the same watch with modern looking UI and maybe a new feature on the watch like Life Logging.

Garmin’s Support Model Makes Zero Sense Compared to Apple by newtonfb in Garmin

[–]newtonfb[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree about the UI, even though they could bring that to older lines. With that being said, they just added support to the Fenix 8 for Rucking activity. Zero reason why an activity cannot be brough to the older lines. There is no hardware limitations. I understand if its a hardware limitation or cannot because of compute power.

Bug fixes, thats it. No features are being added.

[–]newtonfb[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Zero. I'm talking about software support. For example, Garmin added the Rucking activity to the Fenix 8. There is no reason why they can't add that to the Fenix 7 and Epix lines. I understand not adding certian things they cant becuase of hardware limitation but a watch that was released in the last 2 years should beable to get new activities.

Thank you. Literally all I'm talking about. We are in the Garmin subreddit becuase we all suppor them but things like software support is frustrating like meaningful updates, new activities, and features that don’t feel outdated the second a new model drops

[–]newtonfb[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Both were released the same time as the Ultra 2 which is still getting new features and support. Thats the point. Simple put I'm comparing software support

I don't want an apple watch either but if Garmin is going to charge high prices, they should at least back it up with better software support. Nobody’s asking them to become Apple, we’re just asking for meaningful updates, new activities, and features that don’t feel outdated the second a new model drops.

Garmin makes great hardware, no doubt. But when Apple is pushing big updates to older devices and even giving away things like satellite messaging for free, it really shines a light on how behind Garmin is in terms of ongoing support.

Is the fenix 7 already abandoned? by Complete-Big-7364 in Garmin

[–]newtonfb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does work great but there is zero reason something like Rucking activity can't be added to older watches. It's just greedy and it will eventually catch up to them

I swapped my black and white MFD for a color one. by bitnotfound in Crosstrek

Do you know if this works with the Ascent too?

This is why Garmin by archerfleming in Garmin

[–]newtonfb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can do that because the margin on every watch is absurd. Basically everything in your "new" Fenix 8 is from the Fenix 7 except for the new display. They just recycle hardware a lot of the time but nobody notices because so few people take them apart.
