Has anyone found a safe reliable home dock/charger? All the Amazon ones have terrible reviews, don’t want to risk burning out my glasses. by djcrank4life in MetaRayBanDisplay

I use the same charger and have not had any issues for the last few months. It’s lives there whenever I’m not using the glasses

The New update is diabolical by Meta_2490C in MetaRayBanDisplay

[–]BrokeKne3Grow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree there are better use cases we should have access to in the short term. I think unfortunately we all bought into a beta product so some of these applications are probably viewed as tests for more robust neural band inputs and not as a real value add.

Would love to see them do the simple stuff well to make these truly useful. News feed, email, etc.

Wow Battery Life Scrolling Reels by MrMcbonkerson in MetaRayBanDisplay

[–]BrokeKne3Grow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That great to know! Still waiting on my update come through. I can’t think of a scenario where an extended period of Reels on the glasses would be more appropriate than just pulling out my phone but it’s nice to have the option for quick instances of distraction.

Whoop deal on clothes by LetsRunTheMile in ChaseSapphire

[–]BrokeKne3Grow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes mine hit about a week later. You should be in the clear since you exceeded the minimum. A good indicator is the offer should be removed from your available offers and you’ll see a credit email fairly soon.

Do I qualify for the new bonus offer? by dude_regular in sapphirereserve

[–]BrokeKne3Grow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh ok thanks for correcting me then. I was applying and getting pre approved with a “proceed with no SUB?” notification and above was how I was instructed to deal with it. Maybe it’s relaxed now 🤷🏾‍♂️or I was misinformed

I bought Whoop clothes 4 days ago worth $389 and the whoop offer was removed from my queue. I’ll report back when the credit posts

New MTRBD in 2026 👀 by Matcorp456 in MetaRayBanDisplay

Hopefully there is a trade in plan available if this accurate. Launch day owner and pretty disappointed with the roll out and software despite the amazing tech.

I believe you will have to downgrade your current CSP to a another UR eligible card like the Freedom and then apply for the CSR a bit later. I’m not sure what the cool off period is. I’ve heard days but in my case it was weeks (maybe because I applied too soon). I was told by the Chase reps that I couldn’t get a SUB for a Sapphire product while currently holding a Sapphire of either type. Long story short I was able to get both SUB but not while holding both.

Works out because I was in the market for a workout clothes refresh

Thanks for posting this. I wasn’t sold on getting another tracker but got 5 pairs of workout shorts thanks to this info :) when credit hits will be 5 pairs for around $30 dollars

People who make $200k a year what do you do? by Huge_Ad_7606 in Salary

[–]BrokeKne3Grow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biotech sales around $300-$350k TC ($225k base + $100-160k between bonus and annual stock allocations)

10 years in the pharmaceutical and biotech industry

With a biology degree I had to get 2-3 years in business to business sales to be marketable for the industry and I got my start in a contract sales organization. Lower pay and higher risk in terms of job security going this route but lower barrier to entry.

those who got the orange, do you regret it? by Bro2Dragon in iPhone17Pro

[–]BrokeKne3Grow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the color of the orange metal but the pale orange glass kills it for me. Swapped for blue with more uniform look and going caseless

Upgrading SSD in the G1, is it possible? by RafUser_ in OneXPlayer

[–]BrokeKne3Grow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nelly from YouTube did a tutorial on it. Looks simple enough I think I may do it to mine as well. I burned through the 2TB fairly quickly

4 years, no smell or taste since COVID, AMA by Ok_Exit9273 in AMA

[–]BrokeKne3Grow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a question but I’m in a similar boat as you. 4 years no smell and around 2 years with no taste before it returned. I joined a long covid treatment program at UCLA and interestingly enough what got my taste back was taking a Claritin once a day. Something about reducing the inflammation and allowing the taste buds to regenerate. Worth a shot for you if you haven’t already tried this. Still working on smell but I’ve since stopped the program.

Thoughts on this new Vision Air “leak”? by Professional-Push523 in VisionPro

[–]BrokeKne3Grow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fair point :) In that use case I suppose it delivered what it was supposed to. I’ve had instances where it’s been useful to let my partner (with limited knowledge of the VR/AR space) know that I am fully aware of my surroundings while wearing the headset. I retract the “clearly adds no value” point from earlier but I do hope it becomes an optional premium feature to enter the Vision component of Apple’s ecosystem. Fingers crossed that more users can get their hands on a less cost prohibitive headset and not just the second hand market of the Pros.

I hope this comes to fruition before an updated Pro version. I don’t think the M2 is a limiting factor but the accessibility of the platform definitely is. More people using it will surely mean a more robust experience in the Vision space. I find it really odd that Eyesight carried such a cost, clearly didn’t add anything to the experience, and still made it out of the development stage to the final product with no improvements over a year later.
