It's not just P8/P8P in my experience. I can no longer connect a P7 to the same vehicle. Android Auto never starts, the car screen just says the device is not compatible.

My other car, which has the motorola wireless dongle, works fine.

Fair point. I still feel that it could be better. I'm seeing that I can go to work, be there all day, and come home, and only receive the notification late evening. I'd prefer it to be faster for the sake of those affected by actual stalking.

The pixels seem to have it by default. I don't have the Apple app, but my phone will tell me the airtag on my keys was following me. It's pointless though, because it shows up a couple hours after the fact.

Just was notified this AM that my P8P is enroute and should be here today. Though, it is FedEx and they don't have the best track record for meeting their estimates. Package is coming from Carol Stream, IL to SE WI.

Edit: and just like that, it got changed back to the 12th.

Are you using T-Mobile at all? I wasn't seeing the Android 14 update on my p7, but then I swapped to a US Mobile Sim and the download was available. I kicked it off and swapped back to the T-Mobile sim and the download stopped and returned to saying no update was available. While I'd like the update to be available to all users regardless, it seems carriers still may have a say.

Radar Mission. I can hear the music in my head from both game types whenever I think about it, right down to the music when the carrier launches the fighter. I enjoyed both game types a lot, though I remember getting frustrated as a kid until I learned the nuances of the opponents.

Fitbit acquired Pebble, not Garmin, so any of that tech is now with Google.

Garmin devices can be cheap, reliable, and work for a long time. There's a bit of a community for them online, but I am not aware of any custom firmware.

I use Tidal. I have no issues with the app or anything it recommends to me. In fact, it does a really great job at mentioning new music from bands that I haven't heard from in a while. Econoline Crush and Filter are 2 that had a recent release that even Apple Music didn't tell me about, even though I have both bands music in my library with Apple.

I've tried to like Spotify, but I just couldn't get into it. There was just a feeling that it's not a music first app, but a user data collection app that happens to provide music. I don't get that feeling with Tidal.

If I had to complain about Tidal for something, it would be the Live feature. I have the toggle off for showing live sessions, but I'd love to just turn it completely off and remove all traces of that feature. No one cares what I'm listening to, and I have no intention of being "social" in my music app.

Wow, I remember this one. I actually saw/heard this version first before the Gotye version. So good.

I am going to recommend the same. I have the Jabra Elite 7 Pros and have had no issues running outdoors or inside on a treadmill. The sound quality of music is good, and I think the ANC is pretty decent. Better ANC than the Airpod Pro 1's, at least. I know they get a lot of flak for call quality, but I've actually never used them for a call, so I can't weigh in on that complaint.

I have this mount from Scosche and it's been fine with my P7 in a Spigen thin case: https://www.scosche.com/collections/new-apple-ipad-iphone-accessories/magicgrip-mount-double-pivot I have it mounted in a lower cubby in front of my shifter with the suction/sticky attached to the top inside of said cubby, and it has never fallen off or sagged.
