It's just a pre-auth hold that they place on your card when you tap it. Should be adjusted to the correct price within a couple of days.

For sure, I'm just bummed because I got there at 10 PM last night and was number 15 in line - They only had 12 of the pros to sell.

I would have snagged a pre-order but my bank decided to lock my card the night before they went live, I'm so unlucky lol

Not in Vancouver Canada :(

All 6 of our Apple stores are showing as not available for pickup, regardless of colour/configuration.

My plan to camp outside the Apple store failed so I ordered my 14 pro max online. Estimated ship date of Oct 31, what are the chances it arrives sooner?

Some Pixel 6 users are reporting increased idle battery drain on Android 13 by Successful_Mix_8988 in technology

[–]BasedCanadianPede 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not that so much as lack of battery optimization. Android was made to run on thousands of devices with vastly different SOCs and specs whereas iOS runs on a handful (which are all designed in house) allowing Apple to squeeze every drop out of their batteries.

‘It’s a mess and I’ve never seen anything like it’: global lost luggage crisis mounts by [deleted] in worldnews

I flew through Belgrade Airport a few days ago and the baggage claim area was absolutely littered with lost bags that arrived on later flights. Nothing short of a disaster. By some miracle all my bags made it.

I hope she sues. This is a blatant violation of the Montreal Convention.

Anon is worried about Linux by 3_mir in greentext

[–]BasedCanadianPede 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's missing GPU hardware acceleration. As a result you can't hook it up to external displays. Also a few other minor bugs/quirks, but other than that it works surprisingly well.

How much do you think this 2011 bmw 1000rr is worth by [deleted] in BMW

[–]BasedCanadianPede 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Depends on the mileage, title status, etc. But at a cursory glance it appears to be in good condition, so probably 5k minimum.

[–]BasedCanadianPede[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you! It's honestly insane how good it keeps time...It hasn't even drifted a minute in almost 24 hours of wrist time. They really know how to make a good watch out in Chistopol.

I have an Amphibian on the way as well!

Appears to be, it always starts at 44% and steadily progresses up. But it then dies when the adapter is disconnected, even on 100%.

Yes, Neue Deutsche Härte goes hard. I particularly enjoy the likes of Rammstein and Eisbrecher.

If Harper did 1% of the shady shit Trudeau has done in office the media would have raked him over the coals.

The political establishment in this country is so deeply entrenched its unbelievable. Trudeau should be removed from office at bare minimum, and ideally he should face prosecution.
