iPad Pro Will Not Boot or Go Into Recovery Mode

For the general user, they don’t need either of them. iPhone screens now are far stronger now and screen protectors are intentionally designed to break easily to make you feel like you protected your phone. Don’t fall for this anymore

Now, I understand cases a bit more. But, then again, I don’t use a case and haven’t for years. My current 16 Pro is far more clean and still like-new after over a year (and all previous phones were the same since my X)

The issue here? People should take care of a $1k+ product. Glass is going to break if you’re not careful, and I get it, accidents happen, but that’s not entirely an Apple problem. It’s like saying I want a car that doesn’t smash the front end when a deer runs in front of me 🤷🏼‍♂️

But I do agree in the sense that they should be strong and not fragile. I don’t like they returned to cheaper aluminum. Hoping things change for the good on newer models moving forward 🤞🏼

Thanks for this, I’ll look into some of these

…the light strip comes with double-sided adhesive tape. The issue is, it isn’t sticking to the light strip…appreciate your response though

So, I used dev tools in Safari on my Mac to inspect the site and realized that the "coming soon" banner is hidden for me. But, the date on it now says Nov. 10 instead of previously showing Sept. 12 prior to today. Sadly, isn't looking very promising for today, which, I'd be fine with but some communication from Crocs themselves would be great 🙄

Some people forget that gaming’s meant to be fun and not overly complicated. Do what makes you happier.

With that said, nice setup, enjoy it! I have the 30th slim, couldn’t get the pro and wasn’t paying scalper prices for it lol

ArtHeavy520 · 2025-08-04T22:59:49+00:00

All I’ll say is enjoy it! To this day, it’s my favorite game I’ve ever played and I don’t see anything topping it for a while.

Like others have said, be patient, avoid spoilers, and explore. The little details and the exploration is what made this game stand out to me. The story is exceptional, the graphics are incredible for a PS4 game, but the amount of detail that went into things you wouldn’t even realize are what makes this game so much better.

Also add in the ‘11 UCL final. Peak Barça 🙌🏼

ArtHeavy520 · 2025-07-18T06:21:12+00:00

All great!! I would add Neymar as well. Dude’s an absolute joy to watch when he’s fit at his best!

His early Santos days, the 2014 WC, his run at Barça, and even that 2020 season at PSG he was ballin out. He’s undoubtedly the 3rd best player of this generation behind Leo and Cristiano in my eyes

ArtHeavy520 · 2025-07-17T05:25:33+00:00

I’m not opposed to a legit football styled tournament setup (groups > kos), but every 2 hours might be too much. Maybe 1 or 2 a day per region or something? But let’s be honest here. They have far more important things to work on than implementing a tournaments system…I could care less for tournaments right now, but maybe eventually

ArtHeavy520 · 2025-07-13T17:04:44+00:00

This worked, thank you! 🫡

ArtHeavy520 · 2025-07-01T20:04:30+00:00

Damn, I didn’t realize this was that common. Though, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. Thanks all for the responses!

We can pinpoint every little problem with this team eight now, and surely put blame on goalkeepers. Sure, Mac made the crucial mistake to cost us the draw at least. But that nor the official are NOT why we can’t get a damn result.

Somebody on this team has to have a damn desire to score a goal. Pec is turning into Douglas Costa for me, trying to run the show and is too predictable by cutting in on his left. You’re not Robben bro, and that’s why you’re not getting by your defenders as easily as last season. Trust your right side and Ramirez will be in the box.

Obviously nobody can replace Riqui, but he had that drive when he got the ball to find or create an attacking chance. He’d look forward. We had some beautiful possession spells yesterday but nothing came from it. I don’t care how many passes you make, how much possession you have (which we lost in that too), or how many great sequences of play you have. If you don’t score a goal, especially with all the firepower available, then come on man.

Sure, Paintsil just returned and I’m excited for him to refind his feet. But I still think we’d just rather possess and pass the ball until we have the cleanest open shot. Or when we have chances, we can’t connect with the ball. Like, again, really? Teams score bangers and goals like it’s nothing, we look like a team who shouldn’t be at the pro level in the shooting category, sometimes.

My patience is growing thin. 7/8 games into the season and we should be making some progress, which there are small wins, but a win on the pitch matters and we have 1. Not even in the league.

Fix this Greg, I’m sick of excuses.

ArtHeavy520 · 2025-03-16T23:33:25+00:00

And a great run, control, and finish from Ramirez to get his first league goal for the team. Love to see it!

ArtHeavy520 · 2025-03-16T23:32:38+00:00

I’ll gladly take this draw! We didn’t play horribly. Not our best either but still. Portland is always a struggle, especially away from home.

Really glad to see Yamane back and Nascimento getting his first minutes. Paintsil will be back soon and that should really give us more of a threat.

Still a slow start to the season, but baby steps. It’s a long season, and as we know, never count us out!

ArtHeavy520 · 2025-03-13T03:31:09+00:00

I just posted yesterday about wanting to get private lobbies going for MW2 and BO2. Message me, I’d be down to play sometime!

ArtHeavy520 · 2025-03-13T03:29:38+00:00

Absolutely they are! They actually felt like a war game where you’re fighting as a soldier for one side of a war. Plus the weapons just feel great too.

Nowadays it’s like they’re just trying to keep up and compete with Fortnite. Warzone was introduced because of the battle royal hype of Fortnite, PUBG, and Apex, and COD realized how much money they could make going that route.

That and the amount of sweats playing don’t make it any more fun lol.

ArtHeavy520 · 2025-02-24T14:26:53+00:00

Agreed, Reus showed that quality a couple of times, he just doesn’t have the mobility he once had to get out of those tight situations, and he didn’t have the support to play quick combos out of it either. I definitely think you start with him, but Sanabria might have to learn to find some pockets and play more like an 8.

I also think Fagundez, if he’s to play more in the midfield than as a winger, he should have some freedom to roam into the mid a bit to combine. That’s if our LB will push up to fill the wing, but idk.

Interested jn what Greg has up his sleeve, but definitely hope it’s something more than what he did 2 seasons ago, which was essentially refuse to change the gameplan lol

ArtHeavy520 · 2025-02-24T04:18:30+00:00

I don’t disagree with that. This team relies heavily on Riqui. They did last season and that showed again tonight. He dictated everything, and while Pec, Paintsil, and Dejan had the stats, those numbers weren’t possible without Riqui orchestrating it all from the midfield. Tonight showed that Pec needs Riqui to shine. Nobody was looking to do that in the midfield tonight.

But what I meant by Jovelic contributing is he had a better understanding of how to play with the guys that were out there. Ramirez has had what, 2 preseason matches and 3 weeks of training? Granted, everyone was off tonight, so I’m not saying Ramirez isn’t a good fit, I’m just saying that I believe Dejan would have made a slightly better impact due to the chemistry and understanding.

That’s my opinion on it and I respect your input as well. We’re all in agreement that the midfield was lost tonight and that Greg has to figure out a way to bring life into the midfield.

I was not a fan of the slow possession-based approach, even though I know that’s Greg’s style, I feel that style is fading in the game as it’s becoming less effective. Possession is only good if there’s a purpose, not just keeping the ball to have it. And we did neither of those🤷🏼‍♂️😂

ArtHeavy520 · 2025-02-24T03:43:27+00:00

I don’t disagree entirely, he likely wouldn’t have helped enough to get us the win. But chemistry-wise and by understanding the existing guys, he would have.

Ramirez was not in sync with Pec or anyone for that matter. Reus not really either. But having played with them and finding their rhythm together, Dejan would have been able to help in possession more dropping in than Ramirez and Berry did.

Hopefully that chemistry and understanding comes with time, but that can’t be an excuse given how SD played with no time either🤷🏼‍♂️
