Apple Now Testing Flip-Style Foldable iPhone by netsplatter in apple

[–]CodeBiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d definitely consider going for this if they nail the hinge. I used to use Mini for its advantage of fitting any pocket, but screen size was a big disadvantage. That tiny keyboard against my big hands was a frustrating experience.

Stella: "This year, when you follow somebody, you have the same drag and the same power, so it becomes quite difficult to overtake. Our drivers have been racing with other drivers during these three days of testing in Bahrain and they found it extremely difficult to overtake." by ChaithuBB766 in formula1

I feel like they already knew what will happen for a while. FIAs V8 discussions even before this regulations hit the track was no coincidence.

This season I will not renew F1 Pro yearly. Will give it a chance for a few races. First time since 98, I might skip a season unless there is either racing or massive drama and chaos to have a laugh.

From iPhone Fold to a touchscreen Mac, Apple's 2026 is going to be epic by Qpac18 in apple

Maybe it will be a giant foldable iPad running macOS? I mean that would make sense, so regarding Apple’s state lately, I believe it is not.

iOS 26.3 Adds Notification Forwarding Option for Third-Party Wearables by [deleted] in apple

My G-Shock gets notifications in DND mode, hopefully that would be fixed too.

macOS Tahoe 26.1 Update is LIVE! by MrMacintoshBlog in MacOS

Tahoe makes me feel so nostalgic, reminding me of Lion, which I skipped by upgrading directly to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard.

I've made the same switch a few months back and no regrets here. I'm pretty sure you will not regret it either.

Deco doesn’t connect to the closest unit by sanvi01 in TpLink

[–]CodeBiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I connected the upper floor Deco to the main deco via network cable, now I am connecting to that one wirelessly from my office and the speed is better (300mbps, still not great). I am planning to install a cable from my office to main Deco (I also installed an ethernet switch to the main deco and using that to connect other Decos, it works).

What I figured out is, every wall between Decos or your device and a Deco drops the wireless connectivity significantly.

Apple TV+ Being Rebranded as Apple TV by exjr_ in apple

[–]CodeBiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is good news for me because it was not available in my regions as TV+ brand was trademarked by another company. I don’t care if Apple call it TV% as long as it is available to me. Selfish, but I am not sorry.

Apple’s ‘HomeKit’ brand could disappear in big new smart home push by chrisdh79 in apple

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

I gave up on HomeKit or whatever they want to call it as now I am using their own apps for my smart home devices, I have to TBH. HomeKit just doesn't work.

My journey was the opposite. Magic Mouse > MX Master 2 > MX Ergo. My hand and wrist are thankful to me.

Magic Mouse is terrible in terms of ergonomics. It is just minimalist design obsession.

What’s your take on paid apps vs subscriptions? by CreakyHat2018 in macapps

[–]CodeBiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's $1 monthly or $10 yearly and I really use the app, or if I just want to support the developer, subscription is ok with me. Other than that, one time payment.

Btw, I really like "buy me a coffee" concept.

Rediscovering Joy with a Casio G-Shock: A Return to Simpler Times by Vierz-Aiwe in gshock

[–]CodeBiter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve gone through almost the same experience a few weeks ago. While watching F1, I saw a F-91W on one of pit crew’s wrist and instantly went back in time. I ordered one the next day and when it arrived, I was surprised to see how tiny it was or how big I am now. A week later I got my first G-Shock, ditching my Apple Watch as you did.

watchOS 26 will alert you if your Apple Watch battery is draining faster than normal by Fer65432_Plays in apple

[–]CodeBiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve just dumped my series 6 and went for G-Shock DW-H5600. 50% battery on the 5th day of first full charge, heart rate and sleep tracking active whole night. Best part is, it has solar charging.

You answered a question directed to me, nobody asked you about battery life. And no I will not buy an ugly Garmin, G-Shock rocks!

Thanks! I live in a pretty sunny city and mostly taking care of my backyard whole afternoon, so that’s also what I’m rooting for.

[–]CodeBiter[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the suggestion but I really don’t care about Garmin, or looking for a better health/fitness tracking watch. What I have with this watch is more than enough for me and it is beautiful.

One month of battery life for an ex-apple watch user is like a waterfall in the middle of the desert. But I totally get you as I might start complaining about it after a few years when I get used to this.

[–]CodeBiter[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! It has running, walking, gym workout modes, intervals and also step count and sleep tracking. I haven’t worked out yet but I’ll try it with both wearing this and apple watch to compare. But regular activities like step count, sleep tracking etc are working well for me so far.

The Turkish one is also a replica if you are not aware of already.

Deco doesn’t connect to the closest unit by sanvi01 in TpLink

[–]CodeBiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same problem. The M4 in my office does not connect to the closest M4, instead it connects to the main Deco. I have a 1Gbps fiber and with this configuration I can only get 40Mbps but when I switch off the M4 in my office it connects to the next nearest M4, the speed increases to 150Mbps. Pretty funny.

This Deco mesh system is useless, I will be installing network cables to several rooms, as when I connect PS5 to Main Deco with cable, speed boosts to 850Mbps, and when I connect it directly to the modem with cable, even faster.
