"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.

(I did not read the article, just making assumptions)

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+"

Luckily I live out where nobody rings my door bell :)

Unless it changed recently if you already have 3rd party cameras, it's all but useless for any of those features. I am using Blue Iris/amcrest cameras and when I upgraded to a UDMP I was excited to try it with the new 3rd party camera support, but I can't really do anything but record. No detection stuff. Ended up only adding one camera and giving up.

And their cameras, are damn expensive. I have 6 cameras outside covering most of my house. Entireity, swapping over to unifi ones is not in the budget.

If true, that's depressing

Not this guy. I'm ok with one less subscription.

It was 86° here... Crazy

I know JBL has wifi enabled bt speakers that would be an all in one. You'd still need your phone to initiate it. But being wifi it should be fine to walk away after starting the stream.

Any assistant (assuming they're still available) would be able to play music at night (a used Google mini) or similar.

We were building our house when my wife was pregnant, I put ceiling speakers in all the bedrooms so that is what we used. I built a diy whole house audio system which we did use to play sounds/music at night in my kids room.

I'll be waiting by the mail for my piece of that pie.
