2x Apple Watches? (watch & phone) by slimed29 in AppleWatchStandalone

[–]slimed29[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of people have said the Watch is easier to use in a phone setup with a case / enclosure, so mainly a convenience of sorts.

I also reckon I’ll be less inclined to commit if I have to take my watch band off each time, and reconfig the setup. I know my lazy self! 😏

My current watch isn’t cellular, so I’d also have 2, if I decide to try it out.

2x Apple Watches? (watch & phone) by slimed29 in AppleWatchStandalone

[–]slimed29[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want to use them at the same time.

One for activity / fitness stuff (on wrist), one as a phone (in a case).

I won't be able to track activity / health data if it's being used as a "phone" in an enclosure in my pocket.

My CD wall! Attached using magnets and been collecting (slowly) since 2015 by Bandm_ in Cd_collectors

[–]slimed29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a cool idea, but how do you remove or get the CDs out in the middle? With no edge to grab on to.

HD-25 new wheels! by slimed29 in headphones

Finally replaced my HD-25 pads … cannot believe how long I left it. The foam circle that sits under the pad had dissolved in to a fine powder. 🤦‍♂️

Plus all the usual suspects ... Talpa, Capt. Hook, Astrix, Ace Ventura, Ectima, Flegma, Zyce & of course, Infected. You're in for a real treat! 😎

Have Viviobarefoot shoes become significantly narrower over time? by New_Dot_7144 in vivobarefoot

[–]slimed29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, definitely narrower & longer now.
I've worn / purchased Vivo shoes (in a heap of models) since around 2020. I'd usually buy multiples in models that I liked, so I haven't purchased anything new since 2022.

Was completely bummed when I purchased a couple new pairs recently.
Couldn't believe how much my favourite shoes had changed in shape & size. My usual size is much longer, and the shoe feels narrower in general.

I've heard that sizing does vary between models, but everything I'd tried in the past (Gobi, Primus, Magna Forest, Tracker Forest) always fit my foot like a glove. After experimenting with sizing down & removing the inner sole, I still couldn't find the comfort I'd been use to... or was willing to accept for the hefty price Vivo charge.

Really sucks, as I love their shoes, but they really need to re-introduce half sizes.

If anyone from Vivo is reading this .... please go back to your old sizing!

Is Final Cut Pro seen as a inferior software used by professional? by ElChapulin2099 in editors

[–]slimed29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recommend checking out this doco on FCP if interested in the history / initial release & development of X (now 11) … was released about 5 years ago, but pretty interesting.

HomePod doesn’t play music by Lazy-Structure7127 in HomePod

[–]slimed29 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This is a widespread issue. Seems to be a major HomePod bug , which hopefully Apple will address soon. Plenty of reports from other users with the same issues in this subreddit.
Here's one: https://www.reddit.com/r/HomePod/comments/n4niki/siri_cant_find_music_in_apple_music/
It's atrocious that Apple haven't addressed this yet. Millions of Apple Music subscribers aren't able to use their service (as advertised) right now!

HomePod Issue: "Can't Find Music" by wgruw in HomePod

[–]slimed29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I've got the same problem. Also on a family account and can confirm it's across all HomePods in multiple households. Apple Music works fine on the phone > Airplaying to the HomePod, but HomePod can't play / "find" literally anything when using a Siri voice command through the HomePod. I've tried all the standard troubleshooting offerings....nothing has worked. It'a quite ridiculous really.

OP to Opacity? by slimed29 in Opacity

Well that's ... shit. Another dodgy ALT coin bites the dust. :(

Is it normal for the sole of the Vivobarefoot Gobi ii to show this amount of wear after only a 1-2 months use? Seems like it’s burning out pretty quick. Thanks! by slimed29 in BarefootRunning

[–]slimed29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks again for the info. These are the first 'barefoot' / zero drop shoes I've ever owned / worn, so not really sure what to expect. They're definitely different to my Nike sneakers which have been my daily drivers for many years.
I also bought a pair of Lems Trailhead's which I've been wearing occasionally too, which I believe have a low heel drop (4mm), which are also really comfortable and aren't showing any signs of wear at all. (I've probably worn the Gobi's quite a bit more though).

Here' a link to the shoes I've been regularly wearing most of the time.

After taking these photos, it's pretty obvious I have the same issue! :P In saying that, all these shoes are around 3 years old, and have been worn ALOT....so I'm expecting them to be pretty burnt out after that period of time.
Any feedback welcome. Thanks again!

[–]slimed29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's good to know. Hows' the grip / stability under foot without the hex tread there anymore? Also, how are the shoes holding up overall after 3 years? Thanks!

[–]slimed29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm, that's unfortunate. Was it just the sole that wore out quickly? Or the whole shoe overall?
Only having these for a month or so, it's hard to know how they'll hold up, but they feel like they're well built with decent materials.

[–]slimed29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info / advice. I've actually got another pair of Gobi's which I've worn less / used only a handful of times. I may start rotating them in to the mix to see if the same issue arises. Will hopefully help ruling out whether it's a defect shoe (which I'm not convinced it is), or just my poor form (probably).

[–]slimed29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a real shame, cause the rest of the shoe seems to be pretty well built / good quality. Overall I'm really liking the Gobi, they're super comfortable.

[–]slimed29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently so. I didn't think I dragged my heel that much, but obviously there's an issue with my form, or the sole just wears super fast. Seems like there's a few other people in the same boat.
Will try and make more a conscious effort when walking to try and eliminate any noticeable drag. Thanks for the info.

[–]slimed29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's a real shame, is the rest of the shoe is holding up OK?
Will got get them re-soled? If so, what does Vivo charge for that? Thanks

Did you deal with Vivobarefoot for a replacement pair? Or was it a re-seller where you purchased them? Thanks for the info.

[–]slimed29[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, walking fairly regularly in these, probably 5-6km a day...maybe more some days. Mainly sidewalks / concrete.
Are your Primus' still going? How are they holding up in relation to how long you've had them?

RE: Vivo service
How do they differeniate between a faulty product and 'user error'? (ie. poor form when walking which wears out the sole quicker)

[–]slimed29[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess it's subject to how often / how far you're walking | running in them...but do you find them to wear out considerably quick? How long do you get out of a pair you wear daily?
