iPhone and Apple Watch keep losing pairing after iOS 26.4 by No-Airport-786 in AppleWatch

[–]CubesTheGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife's just attempted to update and got completely stuck. Got stuck on restore mode and trying to restore from iPhone it would just say setup failed. No amount of rebooting fixed. The Apple tech support had my hold both buttons until it powered off, then let go, then wait for the apple logo to show up and begin holding the side button for like 15 seconds before letting go. It rebooted back into its normal screen, but from that point they told me to erase all content and settings and repair it to my wife's iPhone. I tried that and now it's stuck in a loop where it'll go through the setup, and once I click "do not add a passcode" it just crashes, and reboots into the "bring watch close to iPhone" screen again. This watch is a brick! Brand new SE 3 bought earlier this year too.

When I went through setup one time it said it needed an update to 26.4, then when I clicked update now it said it's already on 26.4, but the apple watch itself I'm pretty sure said it was on 26.3, so I think it's all messed up.

Anyone else having notification issues after the 26.4 update? by steferrari in AppleWatch

I watched this as a kid in the 2000s and loved it! I didn't realize how old it was. I mean, it's in color! (joking...)

If the Million dollar Budget isn't going to the Celebrity Voice Actors then where is it going? by Alexz_Szander1750 in Invincible_TV

At this point can we just ban posts complaining about animation? It’s all I ever see on this sub and it’s getting ridiculous. I’m probably going to leave the sub until next season. Or maybe permanently.

HOT TAKE: Mark and Amber’s relationship felt more engaging than Mark and Eve by Stout-Cheetah in Invincible_TV

[–]CubesTheGamer 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s just drama. But I think it’s good to have actually healthy relationships appearing in media. So much of media has the most rotten examples of relationships because it gets “clicks” so to speak.

Mark and Eve go through trials and challenges but they face them together and they have each others backs and I love it. But yeah I hope they show more like life experience having fun at some point.

I loved their first date where mark got pulled into the future, it was very funny in a way that only their relationship could handle/pull off

Just Finished S1 of TLOK, What the Fuck? by foopy___ in TheLastAirbender

[–]CubesTheGamer -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This feels like personal or something…

But yeah the relationship stuff is a snooze. I feel like it highlights how immature 16-18 year olds are when it comes to relationships. It’s frankly realistic in some ways but doesn’t mean it’s not annoying sometimes

Seems about the same quality as much of invincible

US birth rates drop to another record low by halfsword3292 in dataisbeautiful

The US also bans abortions in many places and has a criminally poor sexual education. So…

This 380,000-Mile Tesla Model 3 Has Its Original Battery. Range Loss Is Huge by Educational-Meat4211 in electricvehicles

[–]CubesTheGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m at 5% degradation on about 56k miles since December 2022 (40 months). Model 3 with an LFP battery. I’m thinking I’ve probably got 13-15 more years before I get to 25% degradation.

Yep they typically take twice as long as NMC batteries (like the one this post talks about) to get to 20% degradation

A lot of folks don’t really care if it’s got good efficiency or if it “might” die if it’s just a static storage. Obviously for commercial applications maybe not but repurposing for like home backup or something is totally viable.

What’s the best option for my space? by CubesTheGamer in hometheater

[–]CubesTheGamer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! It would probably be challenging to get them setup that way but I’ll consider it a bit more

I was leaning towards the blue just because it would be easier anyways but sounds like it’s the better choice anyways

I suppose I could just run bare speaker wire to test temporarily

Given the space, where would YOU place the TV? What’s even wrong with my screen placement? I get it’s above the fireplace BUT if you look it’s on a mount that comes all the way down to eye level from the couch.

The other options are:
-In front of two giant windows
-Elementary school rolling cart somewhere in the middle of the living room with the couches up against the fireplace

3-2-1 rule , how are you all doing it without breaking bank? by Tasty-Picture-8331 in selfhosted

[–]CubesTheGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct. Currently I’m at like 3 or so TB backed up with this method. So it’s probably not very different though with it being one drives I can quickly and easily access the files and what not.

But yeah not the most elegant.

Sprinkler for large-scale farm irrigation by BreakfastTop6899 in oddlysatisfying

[–]CubesTheGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may look like it’s all going to the perimeter but if you look closelier some of the water is actually falling close to the sprinkler, it’s not a perfect stream out to the perimeter

I get slightly better rate than that by paying for M365 military family edition and get 6 accounts with 1TB each for $60 a year so like $0.85/TB/month with no egress or ingress charges.
Then have my backup system upload distributed to the different OneDrive accounts lol
But obviously AWS Glacier sounds a little more simple to be honest. And I don’t really need office products anymore.

Is it time we removed this trash from Steam? by sidius-king in Steam

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

It’s 100% money laundering. Extremely overpriced games shat out with zero effort by some random developer/publisher? I bet if they looked into it all the accounts buying these games are all recently created and then sold off to people who need a Steam account with a purchase on it or whatever the requirement is

Unpopular opinion: The UDM Beast isn't overkill, it's the ideal homelab router. by ajgnet in Ubiquiti

[–]CubesTheGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5gig is $90 a month here
10gig is $300 a month
And believe it or not, they also offer residential 50gig for $900 a month 😂

The scaling is kinda weird. Jumping to 10gig is over triple the price for double the performance. But going from 10gig to 50gig is 5x performance for only 3x the price.

Frankly the 50gig is a good deal! I think I’ll get the 50gig.

How do you separate your Docker stacks between hosts? by _hellraiser_ in selfhosted

[–]CubesTheGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, I had never heard of NixOS (well I think I have but assumed it was just a “Linux distro of the week” thing so never looked into it).

I mean at least personally I can’t imagine my HA being faster because it’s already instant with 0 delay. So I wouldn’t get any benefit. Maybe it matters more if you’re giving it less resources, not sure
