Sweet, will my bill go down?

This was always going to happen, Strava doesn't create enough of their own data to not be beholden to their largest data source.

Is she going to stay in the background not in headlines expressing her views of what's happening now, until a few months before the election and repeat the last run?

I personally think Democrats can do better, but whoever that is needs to be getting and keeping their name out there leading the charge.

 

Who's playing? Bought it last Sunday and have been playing it quite a bit since.

as opposed to those friendly sanctions?

This kind of stuff is cool, but it makes records murky. Like "what could the current record holder do with the previous record holders tech"

Should be pretty easy for those 600k people to find other living wage jobs that will allow them to keep buying stuff off Amazon.

"I will help others in my community, be active, foster communication, and look out for others,” he said."

As long as they're racially and religiously aligned with him he said with his inside voice

Well unless he's a total moron and not just playing one on TV he already made all his money from all the gullible people over the last 25 years so, why's he care?

Unless he pulls a my pillow guy he could just back into the shadows and live his life a lot better off than the rest of us.

(I did not read the article, just making assumptions)

What if they just ask your age as step 1 of the setup?

[–] dmtalon 4 points 1 month ago

Ya I've got a Fenix 8 amoled. But as I said it might be my last. I've looked at Corus and Suunto and both offer decent watches. Garmin makes great hardware, the company is just falling into the more more more penny pinching phase of their existence which annoys the hell out of me.

They're both doing the same thing. And Garmin probably impacts users negatively (financially) more

Garmin watch prices have gone through the roof Garmin doubled the price of their marine chart plotter app for me (Formally Navionics,), so I switched to a competitor.

Garmin added connect+ to their fitness platform so after spending $1000 for a watch you can pay an additional subscription to get the rest of their services

Strava put half their stuff behind a paywall a half dozen years ago causing me to stop sending them my data for free and deleting my account Now they're trying to bite the hand that actually feeds them data by going after Garmin. Pretty sure Garmin users would be 90+% of the data coming into Strava.

Garmin just has to sever syncing to Strava and it would all but shut them down.

It's greed, to keep growing yearly getting fatter and fatter at the consumers expense.

I've been using Garmin watches (runner) since like 2013 and had Navionics since sometime around the same time. I only know how to protest these companies with my wallet or data since they won't listen otherwise. Not sure if I'll buy another Garmin watch when this one is due for replacement. Depends on how much stuff is behind "connect+"

 

There's this...

 

Outside of Cincinnati and noticed I had no service around 11am. Started checking around ant it seems it's pretty widespread.

Sunset (infosec.pub)

Unexpected huge sunset while driving home tonight.

The sun didn't look real in person!

 

Anyone here have a new 9? I wanted to listen to some music on my Pixel Buds Pro 1s and noticed the volume was quite low.

Looked around at various settings, but nothing weird. Swapping to my 8 and I get normal volume. Switching back, low again.

 

So, I never visit McDonald's. Oddly, I have managed to visit them twice this year. Once a month ago while traveling and it just worked out that it made the most sense when we stopped for fuel while traveling.

And second last night. We were at the lake late and coming home just before 9pm. Most non chain places were closing, and the only local spot open was McDonald's. Had the whole family including my visiting parents.

The experience was pretty awful. First, they had 3 employees in the building, and the expectation was that you use the Kiosk. I didn't have 'strong' opinions of having to use it vs. speaking to a human. However after ordering 4 meals on it, it is quite the nightmare for the casual visitor. Probably took 4x as long to order our food.

My parents took their order on a second Kiosk and were not even able to complete their order (Parents are in their mid 70s). Not sure what happened, I wasn't watching them. My dad was quite irritated at this point.

After asking one of the humans multiple times for help, he took their order at the register.

<insert 30 minute wait for food>

Our food was placed in their pickup area in bags with napkins (store napkin holder empty). Nearly every burger was overcooked and quite dry. Both my buns were hard. The fry's were luke warm and not very fresh. The meal for 2 adults and 2 14yos was $40 bux.

I saw a story on Lemmy last week about how McDonald's profits were down and the general consensus was that it was the over priced food. While I'm sure that has an impact I believe the Kiosk, slow 'fast food' and overall experience has to be a huge negative.

My parents were PISSED, and they are historically huge McD Patrons. At least in their case, the price will not be why they do not return. Its the awful experience.

 

Hell of a game!!

Let's gooo!!

Thanks FS2 (self.fccincinnati)
 

That was a joke, way to switch to college basketball in the middle of our game

 

Just got this email from Haier (US) who seems to be distancing themselves from the EU division's decision to block Home Assistance.

Hello , (I changed this)

Thank you for reaching out with your concern.

The Haier brand in the U.S. is independent of Haier Europe and operates separately. hOn is the connected IOT platform for Haier Europe. In the U.S., consumers can use our open IOT platform, SmartHQ. SmartHQ does not prevent integrations with Home Assistant.

We appreciate you reaching out.

Kindest regards,

Digital Engagement Team Haier Appliances

 

Noticed when we got home last night our outside lights were not on, but we have an automation to turn them on if we're gone after dark. Meant to check why, but forgot.

Logged into the companion app this morning to manually toggle a switch and saw Life360 integration was not connected and "requires reconfiguration"

reentering my password and trying to log in is not working. I tried removing and re-adding the integration but the problem remains. Now I cannot re-add the integration as it will not sign in.

Anyone else experiencing this?

 

We seemed a bit quick to want to start fights tonight. I believe while the ref was a bit quick to yellow card a couple of our players, others got lucky.

Moreno could have easily been carded early on. Badji could have gotten a red for his punch.

Otherwise a great game for us, but I hope those yellows don't come back and bite us.
