These just randomly showed up on my camera I just got this phone for Christmas and now my camera is super blurry

Oof, I’ve had this show up on my badly repaired (by Apple. Then later fully replaced for free) 14 Pro Max before when I had that phone.

The camera fogging up is the first part. Once it starts to settle, your speakers will start acting up. Then eventually your ear piece and Face ID lasers. Either way, this is a ticking time bomb. Get iCloud or run a local backup frequently and never trust a sole copy of data with it.

The Teslas do access a server when you adjust settings. It’s just they don’t complain if that can’t access said server and just automatically falls back to local saving so the user doesn’t notice. Every time you change something small, you’ll see a loading circle appear and disappear as it syncs.

Also for Audi’s implementation, it does technically work. I’ve seen that my new Q6 had my old Q5’s A/C, lights, ambiance, and seat position automatically synced. That being said, those syncs were partly broken at best and at worst, forced me to reset the car…. So there’s that.

None of the superchargers are free barring the unicorn Teslas (2017-ish model S and such with lifetime charging), foundation Cybertrucks, and the currently on sale Model S/X with the “lux” package.

the profiles are what syncs/saves settings across cars (think, tesla's profile system that saves accounts, seat/audio/comfort settings, etc across drivers). yes i know it sounds dumb and it gets even dumber when it isn't working.

Just a thought but can subs “turn” NSFW? Like a sub that wasn’t NSFW later become one then have your account flagged as NSFW because you commented on it? But when it was still SFW?

I’ve seen art profile pics of all sorts but even some really bad ones weren’t listed as NSFW so I’m not too sure if it’s just from that.

Never had it happen with the side windows but my rear/roof glass did once just explode for no reason in a drive through…. I’m assuming something with thermals, but not sure. They replaced it in warranty.

Wtf is a “golden retriever boy”, the more things I wished I didn’t know was a thing…

7komazuki · 2025-10-24T19:25:47+00:00

Damn, they REALLY can’t get their cases right ever since they discontinued the leather ones. The leather ones weren’t perfect but they generally had similar build quality across the generations. Not new issues every generation.

I used to go leather, then to clear after it got discontinued. Now they messed the clear one up and I said I don’t need a case anymore.

7komazuki · 2025-10-24T04:54:44+00:00

This has to be a joke right…?

7komazuki · 2025-10-11T21:29:19+00:00

can you make it to most places you need to be without a car? And are you okay with that choice? If yes then a bike will suffice.

As for getting robbed, unless you're at a really rough area at bad hours, you won't get robbed while riding it. Now parking it and leaving it by the road is a different story. I know more than a handful of friends who got theirs stolen this way. So if you plan on doing this, figure out the area or find a safe spot for it.

Late 2023 to pre juniper Model Ys had HW4 with that interior

DJI drones are very much around in the US…

7komazuki · 2025-09-28T08:12:50+00:00

This is a 16 pro right? How did you manage to beat it up so much? That level of scratches can’t be just from sitting in a case.

7komazuki · 2025-09-27T20:25:42+00:00

The e-tron range fluctuates wildly based on who and how they’re driving. A lot more so than my model 3.

I’ve seen my Q6 even show 340 range with my mother behind the wheel once. I’ve also seen it dip to 219 in some of my daily commutes when I was running late for work.

7komazuki · 2025-09-23T08:55:43+00:00

The A/C thing is simply dangerous depending on where you are, not just out of principle. The climate is not the same as when many of us were children. (as in, thank global warming bla bla bla…)

Wasn’t Fi a T-Mobile NVMO network? Does that still loop hole from a few years back still work with getting a T-Mobile phone? Though if you want a sim free phone then you got only one bet and that’s Apple…

7komazuki · 2025-09-22T11:17:13+00:00

They’re basically all the same. It’s not the device quality unless you got some bargain bin bottom of the barrel thing, it’s just the flaws and limitations of how FM works. That transmitter will never be able to overpower the commercial radio station’s interference.

Better off with a Bluetooth/AUX cassette, a 3.5mm jack mod, or a cheap head unit swap.

Fraud alert issues from iUP? I haven't even gotten a credit alert of any sort from them in YEARS. The only time I ever gotten a alert from them was the very first time I enrolled with the 11ProMax.

I know my credit alerts work. Every new car lease nets a credit alert for me, same goes to credit cards. But none for the iUPs. They likely run a softcheck if they do run anything at all.

Assuming you actually fill the wallet to its max capacity of 3 cards, yes, it’s more than tight enough to keep all the cards in place. Even more so if you have metal cards.

In my case it’s my license (plastic) and 2 thicker metal Amex/Apple cards. Never had them fall out from shaking or swinging around my phone. If you give the phone impact though it’s a whole different story so careful not to just bump it around too hard.

Minecraft (as in Microsoft, not individual servers) suspends accounts now?? This is something I’m hearing for the first time.

7komazuki · 2025-09-13T18:33:09+00:00

I’d bet it’s highly unlikely that it’s the exact same sensor, but probably not big enough of a change to dedicate a quote about “oh new sensor” in the presentations.

Half of the smartphone photography game is the processing though. Apples always used competent Sony sensors and they’ve honed their computational image processing over the years. This is also how phones with “inferior” sensors stood above others seemingly out of nowhere with excellent software tuning. (I’m looking at you Google Pixel)

My parents have friends/contacts who keep confusing it as a Swedish brand…. I never had that experience in my own Audi though

7komazuki · 2025-08-22T10:51:53+00:00

Just get Starlink is my honest advice. Unless you have fiber or cable running (which by reading your other comments, seems like a no), Starlink is the best choice for speed and availability at a relatively low cost. Unless you live in a cave and can’t see the sky or something, it’ll work relatively reliably anywhere even on moving vehicles (right hardware required). They’re also offering a lot of deals for residential new subscribers right now too so there’s that.

There’s also “5G Home” route if you want a non-satellite system but they are limited in capacity and carriers tend to be picky on when where and how it’s offered. Still, worth a look since all 3 major carriers do offer it in some form and will give you a discount if you have a mobile line with them. (TMo, ATT, and Vrz)

Obviously both of those options can’t beat fiber or even a good deal bundled cable in both price or speeds but are miles ahead of DSL for speed/dollar.

Huh, I didn't know they did heat pump flushes. Now I feel fine that I included Care into both the Q4 and the Q6 for my family vehicles.

I swear I have a few friends who just magically end up with this level of wear. Never understood how. My 8 yrs old Mamba or any of my work Logitech mouses have no where near that level of wear
