Doesn’t help on my Nvidia shield

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

Glad we bought a bidet after the last wrath of morons did this.

Ya, I went for a walk and had my phone/ear buds in and as soon as I got away from the house it stopped working. Tried toggling airplane mode, and rebooting, no luck. When I got back I had a msg from my wife asking if I’d changed our verizon service.

How’s that work on tvs?

So, steal everything or something else? Content isn’t free. The ad model exists, but only works if people see the ads.

If everyone blocks all ads, and doesn’t pay a subscription, how’s that work for those providing the service?

I’m not defending YouTube here, just curious what your solution is to have a service and not pay for it.

I do pay for YT family Premium in the US. I watch mostly YT, and it is my music streaming service. I definitely​ liked it more when it was costing me $15/mo for that and was mad when that went to $23. I even tried switching to Spotify and using ad blocking on YT. I didn’t jive with Spotify, and while ad blockers work for YT, it’s a bit of a pain installing them on TV boxes and managing subscriptions across devices, asking with which videos you’ve seen etc.

“Alpha male” victim

It’s annoying as hell. I can hide shorts on my shield TV YT app from desktop at 30 day increments. It sucks you can’t just turn them off

I’ll continue to not watch shorts, tik toks, reels or any other ADHD inducing short form content.

Ya, I’m not sure that has ever been true as a blanket statement.

*to women

I disagree, most of these subscriptions options are all built in and “enabled” if bought. There ain’t no car manufacturers looking to reduce their car prices for us. It’s profit above everything

I’ve only experienced real issues when out of network coverage for a long time.

I make sure I download the areas I’ll visit especially if the network coverage is spotty.

My Ford sync 3 amd my old Tundra with a Kenwood AA radio bot work fine out of service as long as I have the maps downloaded

I have a 2008 tundra a coworker just bought a new one so I asked for a ride. It was nice to see under the enormous center display, the HVAC controls!

I’m ok with a decent amount of tech in a car. Like I’m fine being able to connect my phone to the car and have android auto take over the infotainment system.

But the HVAC stuff needs to be buttons I can access/control without looking or very minimal looking.

I don’t want/need my car to have a SIM card, or connect to wifi, and report what I’m doing. If they want to do that, then they can give me the car for free and I’ll drive it around letting them collect my driving habits.

Edit: Oh, and I’m sure as hell not paying some subscription fee on top of the price of the car.

I’d guess I get about 10 days which would include 5-6 50 minute GPS activities and, wearing it / tracking HR 24/7.

Watch estimates 21 days on full charge (not accounting for activities).

I just don’t have to think about /manage is

This is my same complaint. I have been using Garmin watches for fitness, and when they got got a little less utilitarian looking I started wearing it full time to be a watch/track steps and continue tracking fitness activities.

I would like a better notification handling and ability to reply to notifications/message but not at the expense of battery life.

I got a Pixel 2 watch ‘free’ with the purchase of a Pixel 8Pro last year. I tried wearing it for a few weeks, and no surprise, the battery life is just not enough for me (non starter). Second, IMHO that watch overall is too small. My Garmin is the largest they have (Fenix 6X Pro) as it had the best battery life. Going down to the tiny screen/battery Pixel watch 2 was just never going to work for me.

The 3 has two sizes now which is nice, but the battery life is still way to short.

Thanks!
