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.

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.

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

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+"
