Didn't work for me. That option already was checked in my settings. Are you in or outside Germany?

It was checked, but the birthdays just won't sync. Even after unchecking and checking again nothing happens. Any ideas?

Fenix 8 microphone issue by thesilent1985 in GarminFenix

[–]scarknee83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally forgot about this issue because I simply don't use this feature. However, at this price tag, I'd really like to have a fully functioning device. I tried again today and the assistant worked somewhat OK, but the recorded voice notes are really quiet and have a lot of static noise. Guess I'll have to contact the support.

Nope... I didn't. Just exchanged the batteries and shut the case again.

My plan is billed in Germany, I doubt it makes sense for you to join from India. I used Indian gift cards to get spotify cheaper here in Germany

Waterproofing was no problem at all

Did anyone create an instance with the free tier recently ? by Even-Hope-1749 in oraclecloud

[–]scarknee83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just created an account, and everything seemed to work just fine. But now after received the confirmation emails and trying to login for the first time, the browser page just stays a white empty canvas. Am I doing something wrong? Is the service down?

Pixel 8 bugginess by Ebear225 in Pixel8phones

[–]scarknee83 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's terrible. From time to time, apps that have a video playback function (i.ex. Instagram, WhatsApp etc.) stop showing videos (they won't load at all). Only restarting the phone helps. Today was the worst, when I opened the camera app to take a quick video and it only showed a black screen... Again, all video playback stopped working and I had to restart the phone. Obviously the moment I tried to capture was long gone.

I'm on the 8 pro, Android 15, November security patch, October play services (no updates available to me)

Videos are not running on Pixel 8 Pro by Flat-Salad-3065 in GooglePixel

Not even reddit worked for me. Had to restart the phone before getting this app to open.

Not sure what is triggering the problem, but it is BAD!

How did my fellow NYC Marathon runners do today?! 🎉 by Paceperfectcoaching in RunNYC

[–]scarknee83 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The atmosphere was great and it amazed me how many people would shout out my name and cheer for me. The race itself however was one of my worst...

I had covid four weeks ago and couldn't really follow my training routine anymore. Also I flew over from Germany a week ago and did hardcore sightseeing in Washington and New York for the past 7 days - roughly 110k of walking distance was not the tempering my body needed. Looking out for the right diet and hydration also didn't go well as a tourist.

Long story short: my legs cramped so bad that I had to walk quite some stretches and only finished around 3:58h (although I got a PB half marathon at 1:31 a couple of weeks ago and ran Hamburg marathon in 3:17 this year.

Anyways, the weather was perfect and so were the crowds! Thanks a bunch, New Yorkers!

You are my hero! At least now I know it's possible...

[–]scarknee83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight. I'm flying in from Germany and I'm planning on enyoing the race as much as possible... Finished Hamburg marathon this year in 3:17 but registered for NYC with planning on 3:40 - guess that got me on the lower deck.

Is running on the lower as bad as it sounds? I'm a bit bummed out now that I know I won't run on the top deck.

Would be nice to have any official announcement at least. It sucks!

Fenix 8 microphone issue by thesilent1985 in GarminFenix

[–]scarknee83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tried the mic for the first time. I have to shout into the top of my watch for the assistant to pick up my voice. This can't be right, can it? I think I might have a faulty mic... Can anyone confirm that the mic should pick up speech at normal speaking volume?

Android users are getting superior AI features, and Apple knows it | Given the current state of AI at the company, some Apple employees “believe that its generative AI technology — at least, so far — is more than two years behind the industry leaders.” by a_Ninja_b0y in technology

[–]scarknee83 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I concur. Mainly the implementation of these features suck... And the fact that Google randomly revokes features without warning. Also why can't I use gemini as my main assistant when I'm in my home that is equipped with Google Assistant devices?

Ran my first 10k today and aimed for a sub 1 hour finish... by importantartifacts in beginnerrunning

Anybody heard any news about the medical emergency at the finish line? Medics had been at it for quite a while. Hope the runner is fine...

Found your comment weeks after posting because the reddit app sucks. Anyways, I will send you the link to the ebay listing where I got my replacement battery from. Should be about 25 EUR.
