Almost all the stuff Garmin leaves out is the stuff I don't want to do on my watch anyway. I bought an Apple Watch and it was so fiddly and always trying to get my attention to the point I returned it.

Most Garmin users wouldn't ever be using Apple Fitness+ to workout. Totally different markets. The lack of sensor compatibility and lack of battery life make the Apple Watch a non-starter for a lot of the really serious fitness/

One thing I don't get about this is say DOJ wins and significantly weakens Apple. They'll basically hand the market to foreign companies. Seems odd. Google does not need an assist here, last I checked they are doing great, and c

Interesting, I've had 2 Garmin Smart Watches and never felt like Apple was restricting them. I am curious what things the iPhone does that others aren't allowed to do. Most of the differences between Garmin and Apple Watch seem li

Your video is crazy. I have never seen anything like that up here in New England. That towel has more ticks on it than I've seen in my life, and we're not exactly a low-Lyme area. Good luck!

For it's time the way X did things was incredibly elegant and it worked really well and did things that seemed very sophisticated long before other systems could handle remote desktops. There's a lot of stuff that seems hackish ab

A lot of those gauges were on airplanes decades and decades ago, they just weren't in cheap GA airplanes. EGT, Manifold Pressure, etc.. were on planes before WWII IIRC.

I took lessons in the early 90s, didn't finish, then took lessons again in the early 2000s and again quit. The second time I took lessons at Hanscom field. In both cases things had not really progressed much at all beyond his experie

So many of these small businesses are certified but break the law like crazy. Part 107 means you can apply for waivers with the FAA for specific activities. They almost never do for routine stuff because it would be a huge extra cost for t

White tail deer are definitely not scared of drone noise. Heck they are not scared of road noise, which is much much louder.

Same with mountain bikes. Ride up to the deer on a bike and it's not scared. Get off to take a picture and it bolts.

North Korea has a major beef with Japan. They’re still holding a grudge over being occupied in WW2. Interestingly a bunch of NK’s aging infrastructure was supposedly built by the Japanese.

I'm not sure I ever saw a height adjustable monitor till LCD screens started appearing. My first desktop LCD was a Sony and did not height adjust. Some people had furniture that raised the monitor up. Other people had the monitor sta

I don't think I've ever seen this or heard anyone talk about it. I've had at least one Mac since 2006 and all the engineering departments I've worked in since 2014 have been all Mac. Mostly at work I'm not doing

You want to look for some kind of social hobby that naturally attracts a wide range of people, both men and women, is in person, and makes you happy regardless of whether you're actually meeting people. Certain sports qualify. Volunte

This kind of thing has actually existed for a long time. They predated dating sites and had even worked off paper as far as I understand. The problem is they cost a lot more, and still had basically zero guarantee of any success. IIRC t

The Office 365 Mac version refuses to open it. You can recover text but the result is horrible. No graphics and all formatting lost.

It's cause the track has to shut down for a fire. Yes maybe they can figure out a way to get the burning EV bike off the track but if they can't get it out they probably still have to stay shut down for a while. I used to go to

Yep.. I had an SV650 too, and IIRC I would typically turn in 50-55mpg any place except doing laps at the racetrack. I get they need to get something out to start this process but this seems very underwhelming given the price, the weirdness

Our limbs evolved to be efficient for life on earth. Then we built all this artificial stuff and designed it to be as optimal as possible for human hands. So intentionally making prosthetics really different from the human norm might make t

Android is probably a big part of the problem here as the eInk phone manufacturer doesn't have the ability to refactor Android for ultra low power usage. Even so, getting it to shut down as much as eReader would probably be very hard i

Let me just praise the well reasoned and civil discussion here. I don't have a lot to add but I'm impressed at the level of discourse. I have read both versions of the book and seen the movie several times, there are lots of inter

If you've ever had the pleasure of running a Daktronics scoreboard... Holy cow is there some bad UI there! Looks like a 1970s military interface. With cards that you overlay on the controller for different sports, but the schools, e

This is the obvious answer assuming the designer of SQL was a native english speaker. Most of these arguments that it should work some way logical to the DB make too many assumptions about how the internals of the database work and don&#x27

I think this is just expected. Google hired way too many people during the pandemic. Really a question of why they thought that was a good idea. They added like 70k employees in about 4 years. For what?

This stuff sounds amazing.. I also think the noise and such in the original is part of the charm. Just so much historical charm, hard to put into words.

This problem existed way before 2010.. it might not have been a problem in companies like Google but it had already been a problem in previous waves of big tech companies. For example in lots of the Telecommunications giants that were buil

Exactly. It can't be ignored that these new lenses are much bigger & heavier and much more expensive as a result. That helps a lot. But it makes them worse if a) you need to carry them a long way for your type of photography b)

The fluorite lenses also allow them to shrink the lens design and make it easier to carry around. They do this by reducing the # of elements required. It's why you mostly see them in big long focal length lenses since that's wh
