Our bowl works pretty well, and is not tracking our data!

This would be pretty cool, if you build it I'll come :)

I moved away from Strava when they first started putting stuff behind a paywall, and just keep everything inside Garmin. But can't stand that they've come up with connect+ BS

I won't watch it there either

Ya, good to see for sure but I'll stick with my 5.7 for a bit longer!

They've extended the recall into 2024 models so I guess we'll see how that goes!

So, I see Toyota, expensive Toyota, and Subaru.

I'm a bit of a Toyota fanboy, I own a 2008 Tundra I bought new that's been the best vehicle I've owned, however the new one has not been fairing well in the reliability department (the new engine has issues). I have heard from a few sources (one personal friend) that Toyota quality has dropped the last decade too. If that's the case, what does that say about the others below these three?

You can still be best even if the "whole" group's quality/reliability is going down I guess.

Ya, I get it, and anything smart now needs to be able to work with home assistant locally.

If we had to do it over again we'd have likely gotten something different, but the features you do get can be useful!

Ya, hard disagree here, while 100% the new features could have been kept in device, vs cloud but the difference between our (770?) that just bounces around until it runs out of battery (and gets stuck in the SAME place Everytime it hits that spot vs. the newer one vacuums the whole floor and can be told to avoid the problematic area(s) is pretty huge.

Now, the new one has a host of its own issues but when it works it's a much better product that produces much better results.

All that said I think the software has gone to crap over the years and the newer (i7) actually is less reliable than it was the first 6-8 months we owned it.

I'd have bet against that, but good to hear!

No, we don't buy breeds, we generally rescue our pets, our current two came from SAAP.

Guess the food in their bowls will sit uneaten or when they get fed junk (human) food they'll just not be interested?

 

Who's playing? Bought it last Sunday and have been playing it quite a bit since.

 

There's this...

 

Outside of Cincinnati and noticed I had no service around 11am. Started checking around ant it seems it's pretty widespread.

Sunset (infosec.pub)

Unexpected huge sunset while driving home tonight.

The sun didn't look real in person!

 

Anyone here have a new 9? I wanted to listen to some music on my Pixel Buds Pro 1s and noticed the volume was quite low.

Looked around at various settings, but nothing weird. Swapping to my 8 and I get normal volume. Switching back, low again.

 

So, I never visit McDonald's. Oddly, I have managed to visit them twice this year. Once a month ago while traveling and it just worked out that it made the most sense when we stopped for fuel while traveling.

And second last night. We were at the lake late and coming home just before 9pm. Most non chain places were closing, and the only local spot open was McDonald's. Had the whole family including my visiting parents.

The experience was pretty awful. First, they had 3 employees in the building, and the expectation was that you use the Kiosk. I didn't have 'strong' opinions of having to use it vs. speaking to a human. However after ordering 4 meals on it, it is quite the nightmare for the casual visitor. Probably took 4x as long to order our food.

My parents took their order on a second Kiosk and were not even able to complete their order (Parents are in their mid 70s). Not sure what happened, I wasn't watching them. My dad was quite irritated at this point.

After asking one of the humans multiple times for help, he took their order at the register.

<insert 30 minute wait for food>

Our food was placed in their pickup area in bags with napkins (store napkin holder empty). Nearly every burger was overcooked and quite dry. Both my buns were hard. The fry's were luke warm and not very fresh. The meal for 2 adults and 2 14yos was $40 bux.

I saw a story on Lemmy last week about how McDonald's profits were down and the general consensus was that it was the over priced food. While I'm sure that has an impact I believe the Kiosk, slow 'fast food' and overall experience has to be a huge negative.

My parents were PISSED, and they are historically huge McD Patrons. At least in their case, the price will not be why they do not return. Its the awful experience.

 

Just saw this in "all" and thought I'd share.
