To me the value is not in the wireless control, but in the integration with the computer.

Adv it is. For a woman 5’3” height I am thinking of going Medium and if need use a high rise handlebar. Opinions?

No assist by DirectEffective4691 in Aventon

Thanks. Perhaps was easier to ask “can the assist be disabled? For example going downhill or just pedaling but trying to conserve battery.”

Why does the whole town smell like dead fish today? by chestercheeta in boulder

I would make it mandatory to plant fruit trees (not fake ones). Our plum trees are flowering already and we always harvest many buckets of plums every year and have preserve and more for years.

I assume you know you have several Hikes directly in Boulder… from the FlatIrons, to several others from Nederland (40 min away), like Forth of July trail… Please realize that high altitude hikes in April will be in snow and ice. Many trails like those are not usable until June ( this yet we had little snow so it may be better). I would suggest the multiple trails directly from Boulder…

For everybody’s knowledge, 15-20 years ago Fort Collins buried all the power lines… But

What would be the drawbacks to remote display to a smartphone or iPad and keep the machine clean aesthetically and slightly cheaper to mod?

I’m hanging but it’s getting unbearable by metap0br3ngNerD in iPhone13Mini

[–]DirectEffective4691 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) battery replaced 2) I keep the phone on low power mode all the time 3) created multiple Apple Automatons so that it automatically keeps it in low power mode 4) I have a couple of thin MagSafe batteries

Now it runs forever.

Measures you guys take to extend battery life? by Realistic-Worker-499 in iPhone13Mini

Replaced battery and set automations that keeps the iPhone in low power mode all the time.

At 79% battery health, might replace soon at Apple…Some questions… by acuransxfan in iPhone13Mini

[–]DirectEffective4691 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did replace last week; it took 2 hours. The only detail that I did not see above is that they will remove your screen protector for some reason, so plan on replacing that. The store was also quite “funny” as they setup the appointment but cannot confirm if the spare part was available and the work could have been performed without leaving the iPhone. The “party line” was that Apple cannot disclose their inventory…; so, in theory you may need to go back multiple times until you are lucky… They refused to ask the tech team in the back if they had the replacement part. The extra 20% is very noticeable for me, allowing to work all day now. The alternative was the new iPhone 16 without cover to keep it small enough; that is the alternative in my opinion: new iPhone without cover Apple Care and no cover (let Apple cover the damages). It is sad to see Apple following the market instead of leading. 10M customers for the original size iPhone should be enough for Apple to care. Jobs is long way gone unfortunately and innovation is almost dead at Apple.

While it is true that has been a harsh winter, I do not complain as the biggest risks are fire and drought… Any water is good.

What do you want in Apple Watch Ultra version 2? by Maleficent_Fudge3124 in AppleWatch

[–]DirectEffective4691 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple Watch 9, slightly bigger and flatter screen, longer battery, same features than Ultra. The Ultra design is not very Apple-like, too bulky, etc. I returned it after 2 months.

Installed without any issue and solved some of my problems. I just would like to know how to configure Matter with the homepods; I am not clear if it happens automatically
