I disagree, most of these subscriptions options are all built in and "enabled" if bought. There ain't no car manufacturers looking to reduce their car prices for us. It's profit above everything

I've only experienced real issues when out of network coverage for a long time.

I make sure I download the areas I'll visit especially if the network coverage is spotty.

My Ford sync 3 amd my old Tundra with a Kenwood AA radio bot work fine out of service as long as I have the maps downloaded

I have a 2008 tundra a coworker just bought a new one so I asked for a ride. It was nice to see under the enormous center display, the HVAC controls!

I'm ok with a decent amount of tech in a car. Like I'm fine being able to connect my phone to the car and have android auto take over the infotainment system.

But the HVAC stuff needs to be buttons I can access/control without looking or very minimal looking.

I don't want/need my car to have a SIM card, or connect to wifi, and report what I'm doing. If they want to do that, then they can give me the car for free and I'll drive it around letting them collect my driving habits.

Edit: Oh, and I'm sure as hell not paying some subscription fee on top of the price of the car.

Pretty lousy start is going on

Well, to each his own... I should get $699 for my 8pro as trade-in and already got a $200 store credit. I've actually been waiting for the Pixel Buds Pro 2's and by going with the Pixel 9 I am getting $900 "off" those purchases.

I only toggled it and saw no difference so I turned it back off. So far, the morning reboot fixed it, but I'll be monitoring it closely. I use my headphones a lot. Also Not sure how to turn 'off' the pixel buds. I'm sure there's a way to reboot them I'd just need to search.

I did go into developer settings last night and disabled the audio sync. "Disable absolute volume" and that didn't seem to change anything. (I did not try to raise the volume on my buds after I was at max on phone though)

I've never noticed this 'issue' before. However I realize I did just copy a bunch of crap to this phone, install updates, etc... I'm also having some weird tasker behavior where it is randomly crashing. That was actually the driver of the reboot this morning as I had updated/toggled some permissions that didn't seem to be sticking.

Responding to my own post... It was like midnight when I 'discovered' this, and this morning I decided to reboot my phone and then try again. The audio seems normal now. 🙄 I will be paying attention to this close now.

Wondering if there's any setting that adjusts the max volume (like night mode). I wish I had tried before rebooting, but I was just drinking my first cup of coffee haha.

This will 100% not end well. I think we've yet to see even hardened financial / data collection systems be hack-proof. A random gym is not going to safeguard that data and/or monitor it responsibly.

I exclusively run in 2-in-1 shorts that have built in spandex like liners. Some are more 'compression' than others. Most are just supportive, not compression. I like the Nike 2in1s and they last a LOT of miles. I've tried a few cheap amazon brands and not liked them nearly as much. The liners are never as supportive.

I'd guess I get about 10 days which would include 5-6 50 minute GPS activities and, wearing it / tracking HR 24/7.

Watch estimates 21 days on full charge (not accounting for activities).

I just don't have to think about /manage is
