I’m so close to going pixel again but stuff like this really bothers me.
I’d hope that if they did exchange the watch, they’d at least refurb the broken one that was handed in.

I much prefer written guides for anything that interests me over YouTube videos that are unnecessarily long. Plus the false attempts to get engagement (sometimes by making statements that are maliciously stupid) to appease the algorithm like:
What are your preferred ways to consume content? I prefer carrier pigeon, it’s easily the best. Let me know in the comments below if you have a preferred way, and don’t forget to like and subscribe.
Really annoying, like our sponsor….
That's one for the bookmarks. What an incredible site.
Aah, the good old Motorola Atrix.
One of the earliest Laptop/phone combo devices I remember releasing.
Still playing Starfield.
Game is immense in scale and I’ve been doing random quests and POI hunting and enjoying it thoroughly.
Waiting till October 14th like the European peasant I am, just like I did in 1999.
Starfield. Trying to stay away from some of the negativity online about it to not to make me aware of my own poor standards and am loving it so far.
I’m more invested in using the site as a user aggregated feed with other subjects in interest in thrown in the mix. Probably more like Reddit in that instance but with seemingly more well thought out human comments, less bots and less cringy “and my axe” style bullshit.
I used to own both a Series X, PS5 and have my gaming PC (all in the same room - desktop currently has an i5 13500, RTX 3090 24GB, 4TB of NVME storage & 128GB ram)
Got myself a 5m hdmi lead capable of driving my 4k/120 TV and just ended up using my pc for everything now.
I just switch sources between my monitor and tv when I want to game on the couch. Any mouse/keyboard input needed, I do it on the Unified remote app on my phone and fire up Steam big picture on the tv.
Sold the PS5 and XBOX and ditched two more subscriptions hitting me every month.
No regrets so far.
I was pained to move to iOS when my kids decided they wanted iPhones and I needed one to manage their parental controls, but boy do I love the form factor of the 12 mini I got.
Everything out there seems so huge now.
I’d love to have more options for smaller, manageable phones, especially as my workplace have given out work iPhones now, I could realistically go back to Android again come upgrade time as I can manage their accounts with that.
No problems! 😀
When I was on Android I used to love the F-Droid open source repository. Both Newpipe (3rd party YouTube app) and DNS66 (local VPN on device that blocked ads throughout the phone).
I switched to iOS and really missed those applications and needed a solution for my new phone. Those 5 things above (Vinegar, Banish, AdGuard, WireGuard and PiHole) have worked wonders helping me when I switched.
Wouldn’t be without them now.
Edit:
If anyone happens be be on android or still uses Android devices with their Apple things, here are the apps I used to use:
https://f-droid.org/en/
https://f-droid.org/packages/org.jak_linux.dns66/
https://f-droid.org/packages/org.schabi.newpipe/
Both platforms with compelling solutions to block ads and nagging popups.🤝
To be honest, I’d prefer they did that.
Faster turnaround for the consumer and the old unit get put into the pool for the next refurb.
