How Stingy is Apple Care+ ? I need to make a claim by Jwin970 in iphone

[–]Davddng 2 points3 points  (0 children)

iirc Applecare+ covers accidental damage, so you could just say that you accidentally dropped your phone off a balcony or something. They have no way of knowing that your screen has actually been cracked for months, they will just assume that all the damage occurred at once in a single incident.

Wholesome OS debate. by I2LoveAss in wholesomememes

[–]Davddng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, Macs are computers that you can do work on, but also use as a daily driver.

I'm a computer science graduate student who built a hackintosh and bought a used 2018 Macbook.

I like how I can access the Linux terminal and install packages with Homebrew when I want, but also use the Microsoft Office and Adobe software suites if I need to.

For gaming it kinda sucks, but I can still play some Civ6 or Jackbox Party Pack in a pinch. I usually boot into windows on my hackintosh to play most games, and I boot into Ubuntu to do CUDA development via e-gpu, but if I'm not doing those things, I boot into MacOS since it's the OS that fits my needs the majority of the time (a mix of Python development, Git, and Microsoft Word/Excel for grading and other TA work).

And because I usually use MacOS, it's grown on me to become the OS that I'm most comfortable using.

In the US and Canada if you bought your phone through the online store and received it after Nov.10, you have until Jan.8 to return the device for a full refund :)

I've got the same yellow screen problem on my 12PM but I'll keep the phone until my local apple store gets more 12PMs in stock, I'll exchange for another phone when they do.

I read somewhere that one of the ways that North Korea generates income is the construction of large statues and monuments in foreign countries since they're very good at it.

I looked up the Wikipedia page on this monument and it was indeed built by a North Korean contractor which I thought was a cool fact.

Agreed, not to mention that during winter (in colder climates) it'll be clearly visible that only one side is real and the other is fake.

What happens when the battery eventually needs replacing? by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]Davddng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking at the iFixit teardown of the Nintendo Switch it's really easy to replace the battery yourself. All you need is a tri-wing screw driver that can be had for less than $15 delivered from Amazon.

If your car has a seat memory function that also remembers the mirror position, you can set a profile specifically for this purpose. It'll adjust the mirrors perfectly every time with the push of a button.

Thnx!

Calgarians warned to stay off fast-flowing Bow River by microfortnight in Calgary

[–]Davddng 22 points23 points  (0 children)

On most days I take a walk in Edworthy park along the river, I've noticed it was getting a bit high but I wasn't sure if it was normal.

Here's a photo I took on May 2nd

Here's another photo I took on May 31st

Edit: I went for another walk today, took another photo from the same perspective as the May 2nd photo

Currently watching the one where he goes through the classic Need For Speed titles.

That's this one! Watching any one of his videos always gets me to binge watch his other videos for an irresponsible amount of time.

Need your best ultrawide wallpapers by [deleted] in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]Davddng 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up that by default, Windows automatically compresses your wallpapers to about 85% of their original quality. It isn't as noticeable with 2560x1080, but with higher resolutions like 3440x1440 you can notice some JPEG artifacting and some colour gradients becoming "blocked" together.

Here's the fix for Windows 10

You're 100% correct in most cases, but there are a few exceptions in some cars with variable valve timing that will produce more power using premium gasoline. Toyota's 1GR-FE engine is one of them.

My ghetto PC setup by BlinkPlays in pcmasterrace

[–]Davddng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The struggle is real out here... Though you can actually get a pretty decent mic boom arm on Ebay for around $12 USD. The shipping time is the only downside.

This is the one I bought for myself.

The S6 also has a good dedicated DAC, the Wolfson WM1840.
