I run (almost) every day around Greenlake in Seattle. I use a Garmin watch to track those runs, and sure enough after the 1st my route appeared to be not so much around the lake as on the lake.

Side note, DCRainMaker is an incredible resource, and has dictated every one of my fitness device purchases for the last... 5 years? It's awesome they're so plugged in to the device landscape that they have a root cause for this bug, while not working directly on the fix.

Agreed. His thorough reveivews have allowed me to make technical purchases with confidence. Most recently in a new power meter for my bicycle.

Based on DCR and GPLama, I got the assioma pm pedals and then did the MTB pedal mod. DCR also (in effect) got me a new wahoo trainer. I also regularly recommend Hambini, Peak Torque and Durianrider (everyone mentioned is a youtuber) as honest brokers in a very shady world.

Hambini can be almost too honest. He's obviously a great engineer and really knows his stuff, but dang he rips people a new one.

Durian is a problematic person. Best to ignore him.

Does this mean he tweeted something “mean” and got on a discord hate list, or is there actually something problematic with regard to paid sponsorships / reviews?
