Somewhat related.

I just unsubscribed from the USPS "Informed Delivery" email which used to just send an email if you were getting mail and it would contain the scanned fronts of those mail pieces.

Now you get it every day, and it has ads. Sometimes one, sometimes more. But, you have to look past/through the ads to get to the data, so they just won't get my eyeballs at all.

The new normal (double dipping / selling your data). I wasn't massively invested in Strava so I just left/deleted my account. Added more connections to Garmin and use the feed for social interaction (which I don't do a ton)

Good questions, I'm all in on Garmin for tracking my life by doing everything with my watch, but I too am quite upset with Garmin+ and will have a hard time buying the next Gen watch from them. Garmin is cash grabbing all over. They doubled the Navionics app subscription last year too.

I've been with them since 2013 with watches and am not looking forward to the idea of changing to another ecosystem. Introducing a + subscription has really soured me.

5 years ago I'd probably have recommended Strava but they paywalled me away.

I haven't screamed that loud in a while!! What an incredible goal, and outcome for FCC!

Ya, I'm sure, but I'd bet your odds of being harassed are greatly reduced. That is a special kind of CBP agent that required them to recite that to continue... What a world we're in...

Just be white, and you'll be fine. Kinda like my other advice. Just be rich and you'll be fine.

YouTube should allow us to do that with the click of a setting. Problem solved...

I have one that doesn't expire for a few years. And the requirement to get a real ID is more work than just grabbing my passport.

I don't understand why if I can fly with my passport, I cannot get a real ID with my passport

[–] dmtalon 10 points 6 months ago (3 children)

That's my opinion... I'm not going out of my way to get a real id when my passport works fine.

They seem to be in the mix along with some budget competitors like Amazfit. Coros is likely what I'd look at hard. I know a few people using them.

Send them feedback, and next round buy a different watch if it sticks around.

I've been here since 2013 (910xt) and own a 51mm F8 AMOLED now. I'll be considering competitors products now when it's update time.

I left Navionics last year (Garmin owned marine navigation app they doubled the annual subscription for).
