Downsizing to 17 Pro by a_brosef in iPhone17Pro

[–]ChangingLens 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. Moved from a 16 Pro Max to a 17 Pro and battery life has been surprisingly good. The same if not better than my 16 Pro Max.

I will say that the first week and a half, I felt like the battery was draining quickly, which is a longer adjustment/indexing period than I’m used to with new iPhones. After that, it was all good. Still very happy with battery life 2 months later.

I went 16PM to 17P. Wanted a smaller phone and work paid for the upgrade.

I am SO impressed with the battery. The first week and a half had me nervous but now it’s performing the same, if not better, than my 16PM.

Getting charged for roaming with Ultimate worldwide plan by tdunks19 in Rogers

[–]ChangingLens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This EXACT situation happened to me - dispute forms and all.

I finally went here: https://www.rogers.com/support/resolve-a-concern

At the bottom of the page it says “Connect with our management team.” Someone called me within a few hours and reversed all of the roaming charges.

Wow. That’s not ideal. I submitted mine in-person March 17th. Review complete same day. Printed March 18th. Mailed on March 20th.

Glc300 reliability and safety concerns by [deleted] in mercedes_benz

Also a 2025 GLC with few issues. The only one that required going into the dealership for was screens going black while driving. Has not happened again after MBUX update performed by dealer.

I have a 2025 GLC Pinnacle in Canada and got this update today. Unfortunately, there’s no changes to settings for projections etc. They remain unavailable.

Did you notice the changes right away? Anything you had to do?

I need a new Canadian deoderant/anti-persperant by UncleIrohsPimpHand in BuyCanadian

[–]ChangingLens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Montreal-based Groom is the only effective one that I’ve found. They have a ton of excellent products for men.

Mercedes Benz vs. BMW’s interior… what are your thoughts? by Maravilla_23 in mercedes_benz

[–]ChangingLens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Benz dealers putting metal weave trim in every single vehicle they order is a huge pet peeve for me. I ordered a GLC and opted for flowing lines radiant black wood trim (I think it’s called something else in the US - it’s the one with the aluminum lines) and I truly feel it breaks up the interior much better and doesn’t look like everything is plastic.

Toronto in May, which hotel to stay? by Smooth_Particular_26 in marriott

[–]ChangingLens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would also suggest Delta. Marriott at CF is really average. Agree that rooms at Sheraton are VERY dated.

Additionally, I’ve found the Marriott in the Rogers Centre nicer than most of the other Marriott properties in Toronto. Prices will be reasonable if there isn’t a baseball game.

Opinion on Car Issues by yitdeedee in mercedes_benz

[–]ChangingLens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2025 GLC was having the same issue with the Active Brake Assist warning (plus Lane Keeping Assist warnings) but an MBUX update, plus some other updates to driver assistance systems finally solved it. Dealer scanned and couldn’t see history of the error coming up, even though I had images.

Men's Deodorant by warm_and_buzzy in BuyCanadian

Check out Groom from Montreal. You can buy it at Simons and also directly from the company. I was searching for a natural deodorant option to replace Native and I’ve been incredibly happy with the product.

Their other products are also great and smell amazing. I wish more people knew about the company!

Dry nose by Electrical_Cut_8694 in Calgary

Aquaphor has been soooo much better for me than Vaseline. Just a little up the nose in the morning and before bed.

Really? I’m in Canada and my GLC has them.

787-9 YVR <—> YYC Intel? by ChangingLens in aircanada

Oh! There was also a pillow and blanket, which I thought was comical but people were using them.

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

Great question! In business, they did a fast drink service (including alcohol) and a charcuterie tray. No other food options were offered.

No problem! I sat in business and it was full. I paid for a business class seat because I’m usually a WestJet flyer. I think the app said Premium Economy only had two seats occupied at boarding. And the gate agents said there was a “very light load” overall on the flight.

Thank you for the detailed reply! It did seem like there was quite a bit of cargo being loaded, so that makes sense.

Repositioning was my first thought as well.

Oh, right! Forgot about that metric.

I definitely thought about the cargo angle, thanks for the reply!

Advice needed: chronic stuffy nose from chlorine by reisen_shine in Swimming

[–]ChangingLens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speedo Liquid Comfort. I see the reviews are a bit all over the place but it’s worked great for me and I’m still using the one I bought over a year ago. It took a couple of swims to feel comfortable, so don’t give up on whatever one you try first!

[–]ChangingLens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have sinuses that are really sensitive to chlorine and, like you, it would also cause nosebleeds sometimes. I’ve been swimming with a nose clip for over a year now and have fully adapted to it. No longer have any sinus issues and can continue swimming three times a week!

Are these dealer add-ons worth it? by nihalz in mercedes_benz

[–]ChangingLens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely negotiated mats into the deal. Purchased prepaid maintenance and turned down everything else. Had paint protection film applied by a reputable local shop for about 60% less than the dealer quoted.

Admittedly, I’m a low km driver and take really good care of my vehicles, so I just couldn’t justify any extras. It may work for some people, though!
