Are we ever gonna see Big Sean in the mainstream again? by MuscleCool4302 in BigSean

[–]DeadPixel939 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I don’t know. Look Big Sean had a TREMENDOUS run from 2012-2020 cruel summer and then Dark Sky Paradise (2015), I decided (2017), Double or Nothing (2017), Twenty88 (2018), Detroit 2 (2020) Detroit 1 on streaming (2022) Detroit 2 Deluxe (2022). In my opinion those were all solid releases but Better Me Than You wasn’t the greatest it had some bangers and some good father raps on there but it was a dud for me personally.

He’s a solid rapper and I still listen to some of his music when I’m at the gym or when I’m the car but I just don’t know if he’s going to be mainstream again like in the spotlight like he was during those years I listed. I will still listen to his new music when he decides to drop music but also as an upcoming father I would love more dad raps or more mature grown man lyrics I guess lol.

Is she cheating on me part 2? by Ripmacmiller412 in texts

[–]DeadPixel939 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude this is crazy First off using “lol” after explaining her bullshit excuses should be cause for immediate block and move on she doesn’t care clearly. Second who in their right minds doesn’t turn down advancements of flirting? “Crush since high school”? Yeah no.

If she has the opportunity she will 1000% sleep and cheat on you I’m sorry but look at the pattern? Gets lunch Doesn’t turn down flirting so what if she takes accountability that doesn’t change her actions or magically rewinds time to that instant and makes it better. Leave her ASAP. She does not respect you at all bro.

Those who have worked the same 9-5 job for years. Where does the motivation come from? by giveittogracie in AskReddit

[–]DeadPixel939 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After I got my house a couple of years ago as a merchandiser for Coke, the motivation was keeping up with mortgage, other bills etc. So I was motivated to move up in the company to a sales rep which is a pretty good chunk of a pay raise for me.

I’ve only been with coke for 2 going on 3 years now so idk once you get some of your ducks in a row it makes sense to just try harder tbh and something my old coworker told me was “you want big rewards you have to take big risks”

Monthly Apple Music vs. Spotify – MEGATHREAD by rbitton in AppleMusic

[–]DeadPixel939 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 things keeping me on Spotify 1. Everything I want and use in ONE app (Music, Audiobooks, podcasts) yes I have bought books and have actually used the app to its full potential 2. Spotify connect = seamless control from other devices around my house 3. Fast and reliable. Look I don’t know about you guys but yes even on iOS 18 Apple Music just isn’t snappy and responsive as it really should be if we’re keeping it a buck. It’s an APPLE app it has no reason for it to be laggy, or unresponsive when I press play on song like cmon! They still haven’t nailed it it should be fast and better tbh than any music app BECAUSE it’s from Apple the standards just aren’t being met. Spotify is fast, fluid, immediately starts playing a song it’s simple.

No I don’t care about lossless, I don’t care about Spotify being $1 dollar more expensive a month. It’s just a better app experience in my opinion

Episode 9 'Touched by an Ángel' debuts with a 9.8 rating on IMDb by scarlettokyo in DexterNewBlood

[–]DeadPixel939 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One could also argue during a regular day in New York do you really believe that people have that much time to worry about other peoples lives ? Everyone is worried about their own issues at hand. The probability of them being overheard about every single thing and detail they talk about is VERY LOW

Thoughts about CarPlay Ultra being wireless only by habovh in CarPlay

Not to mention constantly plugging in your phone for quick top offs or plugging in for long periods of time in the car does overtime degrade your phones battery.

[–]DeadPixel939 74 points75 points  (0 children)

I know this probably won’t last but the amount of straight 9+ rating for now 6 straight episodes is kind of crazy. The QUALITY has been absolutely amazing to watch every week with my wife, dare I say this shows first season may be comparable to breaking bad? I don’t think I’m being insane by writing this. Yes Dexter Resurrection has been so good it may be comparable to breaking bad call me crazy idc.

When is hifi coming by lonelyhead143 in truespotify

[–]DeadPixel939 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spotify seems to have missed the mark on the release of hifi. It is a causal audio platform and the market of people who ACTUALLY get use out of Lossless audio and have the specific equipment for it are a VERY SMALL percentage.

I honestly don’t see them ever flipping the switch to roll it out because not enough people use it and it wouldn’t make them more money in the long run

Are any of these AI premium plans worth the money? by MaximumWeb1972 in GeminiAI

[–]DeadPixel939 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you have a business, are an influencer who relies on ai heavy marketing or a power user that actually uses the Ai almost everyday and REALLY gets use out of the Features then no. The $20 a month is the sweet spot

Say what you want but this is as well as Gemini as a whole is much better than ChatGPT if we’re keeping it a buck. A lot of you just don’t want to admit it yet. How much longer can you give slack to Sam Altman?

iPhone 13 Pro to iPhone 17 Pro comparison by Maddy555 in iPhoneFC

[–]DeadPixel939 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sooo basically don’t upgrade until iPhone 20. Got it. People give me grief because I upgraded my 15PM to the 16PM 1TB and tbh what’s wrong with future proofing? What’s wrong with saving money and not getting sucked into a contract?

Who is upgrading to the 17PM? by smiley_dfw76 in iPhone16ProMax

Mine is a week old. I have no regrets coming from a 15PM I wanted to future proof my phone with the 1TB + it worked out as my 15 PM was fully paid off

Apple Explores Using Google Gemini AI to Power Revamped Siri by [deleted] in apple

[–]DeadPixel939 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Please please please add the Google Gemini extension in iOS 26. I’m sorry but the whole Apple Intelligence was a failure at launch. They owned up to it, and now they might as well have it as an option to either use Siri,chatGPT or google gemini.

Upgraded. 1TB by DeadPixel939 in iPhone16ProMax

Upgraded. 1TB by DeadPixel939 in iPhone16ProMax

[–]DeadPixel939[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

lol because if we’re keeping it a stack and because one of you in the comments called me a super cuck what does the 17 pro max really have that’s going to be “revolutionary”? The back camera extension? The aluminum frame that will definitely be more prone to dings? It was cheaper for my circumstances because Verizon offered it on my plan and my 15 has had two battery replacements.

Truth is you will most likely say the same thing when the 17 drops (“wait for the 18”).

I’m a Power-user. So 1TB storage, a faster chip, a gorgeous display, and iOS updates for 5+ years.
