Garmin Connect 5.14.1: A Broken Update for Profile Users
Garmin users, heads up! Update 5.14.1 is rendering the Garmin Connect app unusable for those using it in a Private Space or Work Profile. What’s more concerning is Garmin’s response – they’ve effectively penalized users for prioritizing security and privacy.

July 7th Garmin Connect Update 5.14.1
If you use the Garmin Connect app in a Private Space or Work Profile, AVOID THIS UPDATE! It seems that the most recent update to Garmin Connect might prove problematic to those that use the Android app in any kind of profile. I’m running the latest GrapheneOS 2025070800 on a Pixel 9 Pro with the…

Random thoughts about YouTube
I hate media today. “You won’t believe THIS!” “5 tricks Airlines hope you NEVER LEARN!” “13 stupid mistakes DESTROYING your automatic car!” “NO ONE can explain THIS!” </eye roll> What’s with all this sensationalist title nonsense? And with these horrendous thumbnails every video now has? Has anyone actually looked at YouTube lately? It’s disgusting. I…

The Divide
A sense of guilt washes over me, again. I watch as you sleep, restlessly. Your ears and whiskers twitch as you dream, someplace beyond this cruel reality I’m trapped within. I feel foolish. I’ve secretly held my hopes high, but the truth of things comes ever more steadily into focus, crushing the dream I’ve managed…

An offering
I’m scared. I sit here swallowing my own heart. I’ve tried to tread every step with a planned and careful thoughtfulness, to base every agonizing decision out of love, and attempt to anticipate the outcome. The possibilities and uncertainty are tearing me to pieces. Nico is my heart. He isn’t a pet, he is my…

Bad Luck
It seems to me that I’ve had quite a bit of bad luck lately. I’m truly not sure what I’ve done to offend lady Karma, but she has since responded and laid her divine retribution squarely on my shoulders, consistently, for the past month. While I do not understand, I am listening, I am learning,…
