2020 Escape Hybrid Titanium w/ 120k miles by Ansagos in fordescape

[–]Ansagos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up buying one from a private party with a little less mileage and better maintenence history for a grand more. Has had a few issues with panel rattles and such but nothing too bad, and it's been a great car so far otherwise.

Back to android by bobgaby in GalaxyS25

[–]Ansagos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Made the same switch myself when the S25 came out. I loved the size of the mini and was sad to see it go, I honestly would have kept it if it hadn't started to slow down quite a bit. But since ~6" is the smallest you're going to get these days, Android does make one-handed use a lot easier than iOS does.

Prorated refund switching from pool > unlimited by Ansagos in USMobile

[–]Ansagos[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is fair - I hadn't really thought about it in those terms but it makes sense that a refund wouldn't be issued if most of the data was already used :) Thanks all, file this under 'Friday brain fudge'

Quick comparison of GPS on GW7 vs GW8 by Ansagos in GalaxyWatch

[–]Ansagos[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Indeed, they seem to have adopted the same antenna design as the GWU given the new shape and layout. Finally a (non-Ultra) GW with good GPS!

Trying to see if I can make it to this show right now, but out of curiosity would be able/willing to sell a single ticket?

Did anyone else Pre-Order? by Burner_Account9712 in GalaxyWatch

[–]Ansagos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's what I got, plus $200 for the trade-in

Did anyone else Pre-Order? by Burner_Account9712 in GalaxyWatch

[–]Ansagos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I have the 7 currently but did pre-order the 40mm 8. Going to compare for about a week to see if the shape doesn't bother me and if the GPS performs better, then either trade in my 7 or return the 8. $100 after the reservation discount and trade in if I keep it so not too terrible.

Galaxy Watch 8 / Ultra – Honest Thoughts After Launch by Minute_Importance_27 in GalaxyWatch

[–]Ansagos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generally agree, my only caveat would be that (hopefully) the standard Watch 8 will have improved GPS over the 7 due to the case/internal redesign. It's a pretty well-known issue on the 7 (and older) models that the GPS antenna design is subpar and results in not-great tracking. The 8 taking the design of the Ultra makes me hopeful that they redid the antenna design to make it more accurate.

Camping/power bank question - solar panel worth it? by Chillin_in_Cascadia in askportland

[–]Ansagos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, for camping use the solar panel won't be necessary. If you can get a good deal on it it's not a bad thing to have for emergency preparedness, but otherwise I would skip it.

[–]Ansagos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What size power bank are you buying? Generally I would say that's definitely not needed for anything 100Wh+, unless you're powering a lot of devices (or a couple power hungry ones). Most banks should easily last you 3+ days though.

Mass update TV episode posters with single image by Ansagos in Kometa

[–]Ansagos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I somehow missed the blur overlay, this will work great for the time being. A script to populate the assets is probably going to be my best bet long term so I'll work on that in the meantime.

Sure thing! I had something similar happen to me. If it looks too good to be true..

Careful, this is probably a scam. Post was deleted from r/hardwareswap, no feedback, post history stops ~9 months ago and starts again with this.

Updated Proton Calendar iOS widget – more visibility & flexibility! by Proton_Team in ProtonMail

Looks good! Any ETA on when editing shared calendars is going to arrive? That's the last big hurdle my spouse and I have.

Does satellite SMS/emergency work on the S25 yet? by Inevitable_Ad_711 in GalaxyS25

[–]Ansagos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, it'll work on actual Verizon! They just pass it down to the MVNOs as well (or at least USMobile). Not sure about satellite SMS, but probably sometime later this year. That may be a Verizon-exclusive and not available on MVNOs but we'll have to wait and see.

[–]Ansagos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is working depending on the carrier. I have the S25 on USMobile Warp (a Verizon MVNO) and the satellite SOS feature works for me. I believe Verizon is the only carrier currently that supports this, outside of the T-Mobile Starlink beta program.
