If 100k people do, it will but ya low expectations for sure
- Comment on Garmin adds AI and a subscription tier to its app 4 weeks ago:
Well, that truly sucks and could lead to me swapping to another brand if it adds ads to upgrade to my connect app.
I paid a lit IF 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 a heartbeat

I wouldn’t notice
- Comment on YouTube launches a $7.99 per month, ad-free Premium Lite subscription 1 month ago:
I actually don’t mind paying for stuff I use or get value from.
I do have smartyoutubetv Installed on both an Nvidia Shield and a Google TV, I originally did it when my kid was on a child account but couldn’t sign into the Google yt app. I kinda wish Futo would make a TV version of Grayjay I’d probably use it.
I use premium for both YouTube and yt music and it’s our primary music streaming service too. I even have 11 CCA (Chromcast audios) powering rooms all over the house where we listen to ytm from.
- Comment on YouTube launches a $7.99 per month, ad-free Premium Lite subscription 1 month ago:
There are a few apps you can get for like Google TV (nvidia shield etc…) Like smartyoutubetv. But they’ve gotta be side loaded. So you need to install some way to get the APK on the device. It’s all diable, but it’s a pain.
I’d prefer just paying and losing the ads. Since I’m dreaming, I’d also like a check box to remove shorts all together from my experience.
- Comment on YouTube launches a $7.99 per month, ad-free Premium Lite subscription 1 month ago:
The only problem I have with the premium subscription is the lack of ad control from the content creator. They should have to put them into some kind of wrapper that I, as a premium member can decide to enable or not. As a paying subscriber I should be able to watch it 100% ad free without going through sponsorblock, which is a big pita to do on set-top boxes.
- Comment on Jeep's annoying pop-up nags you to buy an extended warranty at every stop sign 2 months ago:
I’m banking on my 2008 Toyota Tundra will just keep on being a Toyota and not need to be replaced for a LONG LONG time.
- Comment on Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop 2 months ago:
Yep, all connected /same garbage IMHO I was a big DSM (Diamond Star Motors) fan back in the mid/late 90’s had a couple AWD Talons.
- Comment on Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop 2 months ago:
There’s exactly zero chance I’d buy a car that showed me ads.
There was already zero chance I’d buy a Stellantis vehicle anyway after buying a brand new 1999 Dodge Durango that started rusting out sitting on our garage.
And while they did the bare minimum to remove the rust, but they didnt stand behind it. There was no way we were keeping it or buying anything else from them.
- Comment on Got myself some energy monitoring Zigbee plugs and made an interesting discovery 2 months ago:
And why the old “ice boxes” are top load only. And why most boat fridges/freezers are top-load, because energy is scares/finite when disconnected from power.

I’m the same but clearly got lazy and either ok’d it or It still snuck past since it was installed on my phone.
- Comment on Microsoft is cracking down on people upgrading to Windows 11 on unsupported hardware 2 months ago:
And here I am with windows 11 compatible hardware refusing that upgrade. I’m primarily in Linux on my desktop these days, but it dual boots into windows 10.
- Comment on Web Personal Finance App 2 months ago:
I moved to actual about 3 months ago from YNAB4. I’d moved to nYNAB then back to YNAB4 after a second price hike and then to actual.
No regrets. I run it as a docker on unraid and reverse proxy so I can access it remotely.
Feels a ton like YNAB.
- Comment on Strava closes the gates to sharing fitness data with other apps 5 months ago:
I left Strava when they adjusted their ‘freemium’ model and hid a number of things behind a paywall. Now I just use Garmin Connect, for tracking my stuff and an ‘athletic’ social circle of friends via connections/news feed.
- Comment on YouTube Shorts can now run up to three minutes 6 months ago:
Doesn’t help on my Nvidia shield
- Comment on YouTube Shorts can now run up to three minutes 6 months ago:
I primarily watch on a Nvidia shield. We have smarttubenext or something on there but I watch so much I want all the history/subs synced through to all devices. So for my TV it’s a pain.
I can hide them 30 days at a time from the browser but I’d live for them to not ever show up or show up under the subscriptions tab

Top on my premium wish list is a way to disable them completely
