As a user of both Garmin (and Suunto, Coros, Polar would be in the same category) and Apple Watch Ultra, you'll find one main difference again and again: battery life. The not-Apple-watches will last a week or more before charging, AW

Yeah, and read the responses to your comments: "but, but, 'professional' is a state of mind, not just a piece of paper" and some crap, completely missing the point. Professionals push back with "I'll lose my li

A PBS tote bag is a “good or service”. The broadcast isn’t, pedantry aside.

Not to be too dismissive, but have you heard of Garmin, Suunto, Coros, or Polar? They all have something similar.

The only thing keeping on a Garmin is that my OG AW Ultra probably won't last a mountain 50 miler (I've used it for easier 50 mile races). If it truly lasts anywhere near 45 hours, even my old, slow ass could knock out 100 miles i

It's flagged and dead but good advice. Flagged, dead, moderator dang weighed in, and you felt the need to repost it verbatim?

Trivializing the problem and victim-blaming? You’re off to a great start, maybe finish up with how the victim should be prosecuted for leaving the account unsecured?

So don't give it your Xfinity creds? My understanding is that Xfinity doesn't let just anyone connect to that network.

That's good that they let you know right out of the box that the TV needs to go back in the box, and back to the store. I mean, c'mon, OP is willing to desolder a board on their brand-new TV, boxing it back up and buying something

Why? Just don't connect it to the internet. (Yeah, yeah, when someone actually demos a TV seeking open WiFi APs, then we'll talk. And anyone bringing up ETH over HDMI gets a spankin'.)

I was surprised that the first thing I was prompted to do was to download an app and sign up for an account. The TV would not work unless I was signed in I missed the part of your comment where you put it back in the box and returned it.

Not because they're much better but because discoveries like these will leave a bad taste in people's mouth whenever they want to buy a new TV. It ain't just TVs. Now that I've found out that my Hyundai is not only spy

Thanks for the confirmation, you two. Amazon's dropping one off today with the rest of our order. I've been using a 2012 Kindle Paperwhite that is long past its expiration date, and I've little interest in continuing with Kin

It's an opinion piece, I'm at a loss as to how it could be "fake". Regardless, the owner of the site is still pissy about...something to do with Tesla, I've since forgotten. Doesn't make him wrong, but it'

Did you know that no one has implemented it? You might as well talk about packet-carrying fairies in your TV. And of course the Apple TV box it’s connected to will be quite happy to share its network connection with arbitrary crap you conne

Here's a concrete one: Enter enters rename mode. I can make the apologetics for just about anything in macOS. After over 20 years of using OS X/macOS, I still can't make the case for this one. Imagine a button has focus, yo

Sibling comment got the definition, but “TFA” comes from “RTFA”: “read the fucking article”, in response to “yeah, but what about ($THING that was discussed at length in the first paragraph)?” Origins: “RTFM”. “What’s the switch for ls th

The local government gets property taxes from these data centers. Not if they get a sweetheart tax deal. Why do you think folks are so pissy? It’s like a sports stadium next to your house in that the principals get tax breaks, eminent dom
