Was a good mix of funny and frustrating here. Adding input lag would definitely have made it infuriating.

Not the OP, but I guess they meant non-Swiss as someone who might be used to a different set of tipping norms?

Any good pointers on how/where to get started?

Oof that looks brutal

He’s a cycling journalist (specialized in tech), not a shop owner.

Just to add some context: e-bike commuters in a hilly city would go through the stock organic brake pads in <500 km sometimes. Could be as little as 6 weeks. The shop I worked at (back in the day) would replace them with longer wearing third-party pads.

Good point! I’ll be more careful before quick posting.

Yeah, I suspect “Melissa” fed Lowe’s article to an LLM to get a quick article that’s sure to get views.

Oh but no worries, FSD is a “solved problem” and should be done in 18 months or so…

They didn’t offer free repairs, but they also didn’t limit it to five countries.

Not an applicant, but thanks for your app!

I enjoy using both, but you’re leaving out microphonics (especially on zippers), cable tangle and getting frayed/damaged/caught on clothing, just to name a few.

I’m on Garmin watches as well but this line of thinking is getting old. Partner has an Apple Watch and they charge it while in the shower/getting dressed and occasionally 10-15 minutes in the evening to make sure it gets through the night. Charger is in a convenient location and it’s dead easy to drop the watch on it. If you’re running ultras, then by all means stay on Garmin. But honestly for the day to day I’ve rarely seen it be an issue.

ETA: there’s plenty of valid reasons to prefer other watches (ANT+ compatibility being one of mine) but honestly the battery life thing is really not that bad for most users.

I guess creativity and technical advancements take longer than the yearly upgrade cycle required by marketing.
