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.

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.

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.

My 9 pro did this last Friday when sitting on the AC vent in my car which I too have never seen before.

My 8 pro sat in the same place many times.

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.

This is my same complaint. I have been using Garmin watches for fitness, and when they got got a little less utilitarian looking I started wearing it full time to be a watch/track steps and continue tracking fitness activities.

I would like a better notification handling and ability to reply to notifications/message but not at the expense of battery life.

I got a Pixel 2 watch ‘free’ with the purchase of a Pixel 8Pro last year. I tried wearing it for a few weeks, and no surprise, the battery life is just not enough for me (non starter). Second, IMHO that watch overall is too small. My Garmin is the largest they have (Fenix 6X Pro) as it had the best battery life. Going down to the tiny screen/battery Pixel watch 2 was just never going to work for me.

The 3 has two sizes now which is nice, but the battery life is still way to short.

A week isn’t bad. I just use mine to track a lot if activities, even sailing. So hours of GPS tracking. I’m really happy with my Garmin.

I’d like their upper watches to have some more smart features, but not at the expense of battery life.

My Fenix has NFC payments, it gets notifications. Holds music/podcasts so I connect headset directly to it.

But reading and responding to notifications is clunky.

Still, for me Garmin is the way to go.

I got a pixel watch 2 last year when I bought a Pixel phone and tried wearing it. Loved the extra smart features but couldn’t stand the battery life. Just a non starter for me

Problem with the smarter fitness watches is battery life. My Fenix can go about 2 weeks with running 4 days a week. I do t want to have to manage charging my watch so often it’s a pain to capture my life. (Sleeping, steeps, activities)

Garmin watches, IMHO more rugged and they do not put their software behind a paywall. You’ll pay for it in the cost of the watch.

I’ve been using Garmin for fitness since about 2013, I have use a Charge HR for steps/fitness alongside my Garmin watches when I used them only for activities.

Eventually I replaced that with a garmin Fenix 3HR that did steps, activities and looked good enough to wear all the time

I have a Fenix 6 now.

So, why is organic maps hidden with the default anti features of f-droid? Which of these that have allowed my other installs does organic maps not comply with?

None of these look like something I’d want to turn off!

ebay a few now before the prices go up and put them in a closet.

I am actively using 11 Chromecast Audios (long since EOL) in my house to send music to multi channel amps feeding speakers in my house. I ordered 5 of them within the last 6mo from Japan (ebay) at an inflated cost, but they are still available.

I’m sure if you used the kiosk often you could learn it. I struggled to just order a 1/4 pounder meal. It wasn’t showing me combos.

But i don’t have any desire to learn it or visit McDonald’s :)

Wife mentioned it today at work and it appears “that” McD’s is notorious for being awful. Again, I’m McD’s expert but the story on here about profits down last quarter was just odd timing for me ending up at one. So ijad my own opinion as to why there may be more issues!
