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.

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!

I haven’t because I’m always trying to do something, then I do think to troubleshoot after

Super annoying to have to fire up chrome (brave) to pay my CC bill

Haha

That works until it’s your bank or credit card website. I cannot use Capital One’s (CC) “pay bill” any longer.

Appreciate the comment! That said, I’m not looking to find ways to better my McDonald’s experience here :)

I just need to build that time since I was at McDonald’s back up. I wanted to vent after seeing the story about price likely causing their 1/4 results. I think there’s more to it.

It appears they close at midnight, and we got there just before 9pm

I just looked to confirm. They close at midnight and it was just before 9pm.

I didn’t but everyone else thought it made sense. I’d have rather gone home and eaten a sandwich

Well, in all fairness all food prices have gone up, and 4 of us cannot eat for $40 at a non fast food joint.

I am not surprised the service outside the US is better where labor laws are likely also better.

Not that I was there to begin with, but they 100% will push my parents out of there as they do not want to deal with them. I would think their primary long term customers were boomers, and they’re gonna reject Kiosks.

Ya, same. I think I may have gotten a burger one time when I took my kid (now 14) in there for some ice cream 7-8 years ago. Then unfortunately twice this year. But I’m going to go back to normal of actively avoiding the place

They aren’t making money off my content anymore/in the future

The odd bit here is that Pixel phones were not necessarily considered flagship phones. And accordingly we’re priced not as flagship phones but if rumors are correct they are trying to get a flagship phone price for non flagship phone.
