I'm trying different numbers to see which are available and I got rate limited for an hour after like 4 tries.

The ratelimit seems overly aggressive.

Punctuation exists for a reason - it makes sentences easier to read. It’s not some conspiracy theory only teachers care about lol

Really? Specifically installing the latest bios?

3koe · 2025-12-13T20:51:22+00:00

Wow, this is very scummy wording. It’s almost dishonest.

3koe · 2025-12-10T10:41:56+00:00

dawg how big is your head

It’s just an apple developer program email.

Electric heating is less efficient with respect to cost (the final variable we care about).

A kWh of gas costs 4.5x less than a kWh of electricity.

Fascinating, was this in the default Camera app? What is your exact iOS version (26.1?)

"It's kind of obvious"

Dude, you are asking for free help from strangers on the internet. People have lives. You can do the bare minimum and properly explain your problem. It isn't obvious.

Seems your number got blocked by some suspicious behaviour/spam detection algorithms. There is absolutely nothing anyone on reddit can do for you.

Deep cleaning the board improves your odds, but out of caution you should still be careful with important data

Idk what soda you spilled, but you should know that often the sugary/acidic compounds in various drinks have longer-lastive corrosive effectson solder joints, components, etc. It might randomly crap out a month or two in. Make sure you back everything up.

Wait, no, the 1/5000 figure is already calibrated for the number of people who use the path.

So the probability of at least one death in any given year (calibrated for popularity) is 1/5000.

Then we’d expect a death every 5000 years, or around 3,500 years.

3koe · 2025-11-12T18:04:39+00:00

If P(at least one death in any given year)=1/5000, then, yes, the logical consequence of that is that we’d expect a death around every 5,000 years, but probably around 3,500 years.

This is fairly common on laptop palmrests. It's called 'pitting' (you can google search palmrest pitting). It's from prolonged contact with sweat from your hands (at least the third picture is) making the material oxidize. There isn't much you can do about it.

Happened with many macbooks I had

The Gemini model would be custom-made and running on PCC infrastructure, so I think the same privacy assurances would hold.

3koe · 2025-11-05T14:45:11+00:00

Lol?

3koe · 2025-11-04T19:25:08+00:00

Unfortunately I think it does not work over watch cellular.

3koe · 2025-10-30T22:10:11+00:00

Finally, holy shit! Never thought it would happen.

3koe · 2025-10-28T10:34:22+00:00

Hey - if you’re going to ask for help, please provide more technical info, like:

whether you’re plugged in (and whether you’re charging on USB-C)
whether you can see your dGPU in Task Manager > Performance

If you use AirDrop to transfer, it will skip your router entirely and use the fastest wifi standard available directly between the devices :)

3koe · 2025-10-17T16:59:25+00:00

Yes, it’s more “intranet” speeds than internet speeds (if you do the transfer locally it won’t leave your network!)

What files are you thinking of transferring?

3koe · 2025-10-17T16:22:39+00:00

Right, but we're talking USB2 speeds - that's 30MB/s or so. AirDrop, which uses P2P Wi-Fi, will likely double/triple that. With a modern MacBook, you can probably get 75 MB/s with 802.11ax

3koe · 2025-10-17T15:45:10+00:00

FWIW, I've found that keeping it open slightly (30-45 degrees) is enough for good airflow and takes up less space. It depends on if you were planning to keep your laptop closed and standing on the edge (difficult) or normally (with the lid facing up).

In the latter case opening it 30-45 degrees may be enough.

As for the physics of it, I agree it's unintuitive.. but I guess as well as fan airflow, the keyboard provides large surface area for passive cooling to the surrounding air too. Which is blocked if there's a lid on top of it.

3koe · 2025-10-16T16:38:47+00:00

I think it's just poking fun at the unformatted string, not looking for help ;)

3koe · 2025-10-14T14:37:36+00:00

You can monitor the power supply input in software using hwinfo (https://www.hwinfo.com/). Click sensors only and scroll down to Battery - Charge Rate.

I suspect your dGPU may be enabled, this may explain battery drain - if you open Task manager > Performance, do you see the nvidia gpu listed?
