"Alpha male" victim
I've had a handful of their watches in this line but this is the first time I was waiting for/excited about the new model and jumped at launch.
Like, out of the box no audio apps I use were available because apparently Garmin doesn't release the SDK unti launch day. Just crazy... Live and learn I guess.
I'm gonna say they need to circle the wagons and get the ALREADY RELEASED Fenix 8 out of Beta.
Pretty lousy launch/unboxing experience from someone that's been relying on Garmin watches since 2013 (910xt)
Yes, I'm a bit salty right now...
I'm here, but not doing much with Arduino's ATM... most of the new devices I've been playing with are ESP32's connected to my Home Assistant. Much easier for me as a non programmer to edit/modify a yaml file :)
It's annoying as hell. I can hide shorts on my shield TV YT app from desktop at 30 day increments. It sucks you can't just turn them off
I'll continue to not watch shorts, tik toks, reels or any other ADHD inducing short form content.
Depends on what you do / like to do
There are sailing apps I use a 3rd party watch face (data lover) Playrun for listening to podcasts Spotify (until YouTube music is available for my watch)
Congrats on the watch. I've been using Garmin's since around 2013 starting with a 910xt.
I don't care about any game stats for my phone but it is annoying that my P9P XL lags when it's connected to AA and I want to grab it fast, double click the power button to open the camera and snap a quick picture.
I've experienced the same lag with previous Pixels. Assumed it was a RAM issue and maybe it is, but it's annoying nonetheless.
Ya, I'm not sure that has ever been true as a blanket statement.

The pay bill button on my capital one CC account doesn't work on Firefox. Once a month I have to use a chromium based browser.
So, steal everything or something else? Content isn't free. The ad model exists, but only works if people see the ads.
If everyone blocks all ads, and doesn't pay a subscription, how's that work for those providing the service?
I'm not defending YouTube here, just curious what your solution is to have a service and not pay for it.
I do pay for YT family Premium in the US. I watch mostly YT, and it is my music streaming service. I definitely liked it more when it was costing me $15/mo for that and was mad when that went to $23. I even tried switching to Spotify and using ad blocking on YT. I didn't jive with Spotify, and while ad blockers work for YT, it's a bit of a pain installing them on TV boxes and managing subscriptions across devices, asking with which videos you've seen etc.
