  • 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).

  • When do the TV advertisements for pharmaceuticals stop? Pretty sure during his confirmation he explained how easy it would be and how it would be one of the 100 things he was going to do FIRST THING when taking office.

  • Well, that truly sucks and could lead to me swapping to another brand if it adds ads to upgrade in my connect app.

    I paid a lot of freaking money for my watch and included services.

    INFACT I am going to email them my opinion on this and warn them I will absolutely leave in one Garmin recorded heartbeat

    Edit: I submitted the below response here: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/forms/ideas/. Not sure that's the best place but that's where I did it.

    *This is what I just sent them from their contact page

    I switched to Garmin fitness watches in 2013

    910xt followed by 920xt, Fenix 3HR, Fenix 5X, Fenix 6X, and now own possibly my last Garmin the Fenix 8X amoled.

    I just saw a story about a subscription tier for connect.

    1. total crap that nobody is asking for
    2. If I have to see or dismiss an ad for connect plus in my app that will be the beginning of the end of our relationship
    3. I'm about 90% sure, regardless of ads it will be anyway because it will be hard to convince me that the next set of new watches won't be directly impacted by a subscription tier. At least one feature the watch(s) would have gotten will be pushed into the pay tier.*

    This is EXTREMELY disappointing

  • What would be fun is to go test drive one, and when the ad pops up, snap a picture and go back and ask the salesman what its about.

    Then go, oh.. Well that's a deal breaker and walk out. Get enough people to do that, and not buy a car with pop up ads and it'll go away.

  • I looked at and look at it as an investment. 13 years ago it could have been a good decision or a bad one.

    The idea behind a lifetime membership is a means to spark fund raising, and I thought then "I use this a lot, it works for me I'm gonna pay for it".

  • So, you've got option. You can just roll your own, or go to jellyfin.

    I'm one of the first people to complain about the incessant need to grow 20% a year to appease shareholders and how unsustainable that is. But I also realize as I said, stuff cost money and "just breaking even" will also grow in cost every year with everything else, so... Even in that perfect world you were describing, there would be an increase in cost applied to that project.

    Much like I am sure you expect at the very least a cost of living raise each year. I'm also guessing you're glad your paycheck to bills ratio isn't what it was 20y ago. (or I can say, that for me that is true). I'm pretty happy my discretionary money is more now than it was then. I bet those developers also want that same thing.

  • Glad I bought the Plex Pass like 13 years ago. While I understand everyone seems to think everything should be free, I'm sure your boss wishes you worked for free too, but the world doesn't work that way.

    I'm OK supporting products I use , and Plex is an example of this for me. It was a well spend $75 in 2013

  • Do WiiM Pro devices show up as speakers/streamable devices in apps (for casting) or can Google Home see them. Can they be assigned as the default speaker of a google home device?

    I've got 11 CCAs in operation right now... That would be a pricey swap. Might be worth buying one and playing around. Also need to see if it supports yt music
