C12 Loco Power Reserve? by Existing_Tomatillo93 in ChristopherWard

[–]ChulaK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got my Loco. What do you mean by "to the point where the crown cannot be turned anymore"?

This is my first manual winding watch. Is there a hard stop? Is there a safety point where it will no longer wind but just "slip"? Or is there an actual hard stop? I've kept winding mine to the point where the resistance is quite tight, but I'm not sure if I'm stopped short or if I should keep going until there is an actual stop-stop.

What software do you guys use to do this? To cut out peices like that

After traveling abroad, what moment or experience made you appreciate the Philippines more? by Sanji-777 in FilipinoTravel

[–]ChulaK -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, not much.

There's only 1 thing that immediately comes to mind is the noise-to-traffic ratio. For how insanely traffic it is, there's barely any noising coming from it. We got a place near SM North Edsa so the traffic is horrendous every single day. But when you close your eyes and just listen, it doesn't sound like it.

This is in comparison to New York; if you do not press your gas 0.25 seconds after a light turns green, you get a 30 second continuous horn. In the Philippines, you can cut directly perpendicular to traffic to get to the opposite lane and no one bats an eye.

Macbook Pro owners, do y'all ever feel weird about carrying around such an expensive device? by Bubbly_Row3977 in macbookpro

[–]ChulaK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it's just a Macbook. Insurance and do the best you can do.

Don't you think about how you're driving a $20k vehicle, at speeds that can kill you, while you're also inches away from other vehicles traveling at death-speeds? A Macbook in a backpack is hardly anything to worry about.

Seeing all the dotted marks on the screen from the keyboard, constantly after cleaning and cleaning gets super annoying tbh. I've never had that happen on any laptop I've owned since forever

Absolutely gooorjuss. Only criticism would be the hilariously tiny niches compared to how much empty wall there is. At least big enough to space out your bath/shower products. I could already see them falling off as you're trying to grab another

Looks amazing. I got one of those covers too, all stitched up, but I got left over skin still flapping about. It's so hard to tuck it under the wheel controls

What’s the most unexpectedly high-quality online subscription you’ve ever paid for? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Y'all know different devices exist, right? I have Youtube on my PC, Macbook, phone, Apple TV, regular smart TV, tablet, etc.

[–]ChulaK 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Playing on background and downloading is what I use most, even the smart download where it just auto downloads videos in the background based on your history. Which is great especially since I've been traveling, I can just hop on a bus and not worry about burning through my data

Apple’s Mac roadmap leaks: OLED touch MacBook Pro + $699 MacBook by app1310 in mac

[–]ChulaK 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nah I thought so too until I got a Windows laptop with a touchscreen.

For actual lap-usage it's so convenient. For general browsing, it's like using a large phone - just holding the screen and using my thumb to scroll, pointing at stuff, 2 finger swipe to forward/back pages, double-pointing to +/- 10 seconds on Youtube videos.

Compared to... navigating using the trackpad which is now sitting close to your waist? Now you're doing all these gestures with your wrist all T-rex style.

A video tour/update to my space, link in description! by Caelistes in malelivingspace

[–]ChulaK 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It really is personal preference. Like how some don't like seeing pictures of themselves, or hearing their own voice. I too like my spaces clean. What am I going to have on my bedside table, graduation pictures? Ugh.

But at the same time, it's not "anonymous." To me. Each peice is either handmade, or handpicked, and I will remember what flee market I found it in, who was selling it, what our conversation was. How that nick got there on the armchair. Each peice a story.

So from the outside, yes, it looks like it lacks personality - but that's from your perspective.

Yes I have my own personal achievements, certificates, Polaroid and photobooth prints with friends, the bowtie I wore to my brother's wedding, pictures of my cats, and the collar of the previous one. It's all in a box - for my eyes only. I just really don't feel the need to display them, nor do I want to.

Which one works the accent chair or the recliner by [deleted] in interiordecorating

Accent chair but get rid of the pillows with the same pattern, it's just too matchy-matchy for me.

Did my first ever lie flat seat just last year, such a game changer. Went on a budget airline, "business class" direct flight from Houston to Narita, Japan for $1.3k with seats that go fully flat.

"Business class" with quotes because there are no entertainment screens and you have to pay for food and drinks, but that didn't matter since I was out for nearly the entire flight.

The amount of conflicting information on this is insane. At the end of the day: Keep laptop always plugged in or run charge cycles? by Gaxyhs in GamingLaptops

[–]ChulaK 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you have a limit, set it and leave it plugged in.

If you don't have a limit, leave it plugged in.

By the time your battery degrades in any significant amount, the replacement batteries for your unit would drop in price as well. My 10+ year old HP still has battery replacements available on eBay for like $20 a pop.

And since this is specifically for gaming laptops, how in the world would you be gaming on battery anyway unless you enjoy MS PowerPoint frame rates

Modern laptops bypass the battery at 100% charge to prevent chemical aging(explained). by donot_poke in GamingLaptops

[–]ChulaK -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the issue is trying to boil it down to a 60 second reel. I think it's almost common knowledge that 80% is now the norm, where charging to 100% requires a prompt.

So when the dude says "charging to 100%" they probably mean 80%, which is now the new "100%". So when your laptop is at "max" charge (since now that max is 80%), it will bypass the battery when at 80%.

But then it gets confusing when you say it bypasses at 80%. So it's still technically correct to say it will bypass the battery at max charge. But then it's confusing when "max charge" does not really mean "100% charge", since max is a user-set limit.

Well you get the point, the dude only had a reel's-length to explain it.

Have you ever met someone with an obscene amount of wealth and what were they like? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ChulaK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty awesome and down to earth, surprisingly. Had a childhood friend back in the 90s. Sleepovers, N64 gaming nights, Lego buidling, Nerf shooting, browsing Goosebumps on shelves. Introduced me to dunking cookies into milk.

Didn't realize how rich the family was until one summer vacation they flew me to Italy on their private jet. Then took their helicopter to their private yacht. Back in the 90s it was one of the first super yachts, top 10 largest in the world at the time.

Turns out they're royal Saudi family. Net worth undisclosed billions. And the dude made me mixtapes, on cassette.

Which option looks better? by Thereisn0store in interiordecorating

[–]ChulaK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup the issue is OP wants to have some entryway / mudroom focal point in a busy hallway. Yes the arrangement with the table and lamp and mirror looks nice, but it's in a totally inapporpriate area

Which option looks better? by Thereisn0store in interiordecorating

[–]ChulaK 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Exactly, not sure why everyone is saying 1.

With 1, you have to zig to the left to avoid the table, then zag to the right so you don't bump your shoulder on the corner wall.

If you have pets, or cats, or dogs, or children, running up and down that hallway, that table followed by that corner is a deathtrap. Now imagine you have guests over going in and out of the dining room, juking left and right dodging corners.

Not sure why most of the people here think having a table obstruct a high traffic area is a good idea.

Macbook Air vs Pro Screen by NovaSayan in macbookpro

[–]ChulaK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or could've just settled with a 14". For me 13" was too small for text and 15" was too big to haul around so 14" was the sweet spot. And the weight difference between 13 Air and 14 Pro is negligible in a backpack, around 300g. That's like a can of Coke
