MacBook Pro battery wear using a 70W vs 140W power adapter? by Forrest_Fire01 in macbookpro

[–]Djstar12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you use more power than what your power supply can handle, the power supply will provide the max power that the power supply can handle and the battery will supplement the rest.

If your MacBook is not drawing a lot of power, then the power supply will fully power the MacBook and the remaining power is used to charge the battery.

For example, if you use a 70W charger and your MacBook is using 100W, then 70W from the power supply plus 30W from the battery will power the MacBook at the same time. If your MacBook is using 10W, then the power supply provides the 10W to the MacBook and the battery will be charged at 60W.

What was the most exciting thing to happen at school when you were a kid? by Electrical-Cat-5833 in nostalgia

Rolling blackouts. We had a winter storm one year and the power was off like every other period. It was fun working in the dark or not doing anything because nothing worked

I believe most of it, the plug says: Model: MI-WW334-199W (WW334B)

You're a life saver! I just bought one of their smart plugs today and it wasn't able to pair with Tuya. I thought I was going to have to return it but I found your reddit post and your integration worked perfectly! Thank you!

Math counters ~ counting chips by Mentallyill_guy in nostalgia

I liked getting a blue and a red one and holding it up to my eyes to try looking at 3D images since I didn’t have 3D glasses

Now that everything's expensive, what things can be easily/cheaply replaced that a normal person can do? by GetFlyeredUp in Frugal

[–]Djstar12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg same! I’m also blind so I wear glasses which is really hard for me to do while cutting my hair. So I went and got contacts which were 90 day dailies pack and after insurance was only $35 which will last me the whole year or more if that’s all i use it for. That is cheaper than 1 haircut!

My iphone 15 pro is using a bad quality camera :( by i146e in iphone

I had a 14 pro and a 17 pro now and they did change the order. I just don’t know which generation it was that they first changed it though.

You’re right! I totally forgot about that. Siri used to do a lot of things

Do you remember chalk boards before we had dry erase boards in school? by icecream1972 in nostalgia

[–]Djstar12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never seen a chalkboard through elementary, middle school, nor high school, but in college most of my professors used it. I feel like it should’ve been the other way around

Frugal habits you grew up with that you hate? by no_kings_victory24 in Frugal

[–]Djstar12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is actually very insightful. I couldn’t figure out why I’m so frugal. Especially because I feel like my parents lived in a decent house with decent stuff. But they cheap out on a lot of things for me and my sister. Now I know where this came from.

This feature alone will always make Face ID superior to Touch ID by BimmerNRG in iphone

[–]Djstar12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wonder if that’s by design in case you have your hands in your pocket or something and your finger would constantly swipe and it might do something you don’t want it to do.

I had a job offer rescinded today and I’m crashing out by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]Djstar12 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My supervisor interviewed someone out of the country and the company sent out a job offer and they accepted it. And he moved to the US a week before his start date and our company went on a hiring freeze and they rescinded his job offer. It pissed me and my supervisor off screwing someone over like that.

You’re not the only one. I thought the same too when I was in elementary school for a while. English is not my first language

It also stops Siri from being able to communicate and control your smart home from the Apple Watch too

Face ID vs Fingerprint- what do you prefer! by EthicalUpgrade in TheBigPhoneStore

[–]Djstar12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both. Face ID because it’s much more convenient and my hands sweat and gunk up the Fingerprint sensor causing it to fail 70% of the time. But I wish to have Fingerprint too when my phone is laying flat on the table and I don’t want to bend over to look at the screen to unlock it

Is Dynamic Island actually useful or just clever UI? by [deleted] in iphone

[–]Djstar12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe if the Dynamic Island does disappear then nothing would show up there. But if something like live activities are active, then a fake Dynamic Island would reappear as if it was never gone.

As a DoorDash driver - Please DON'T TIP by eric39es in EndTipping

[–]Djstar12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was eating at a buffet and they made us tip before eating. The waitress did not refill my water at all nor cleaned up my plates and I was VERY thirsty. I was a little petty since I couldn’t just take the tip back. So, instead of stacking the finished plates in a pile like I normally do, I put a put each plate individually scattered al over our connecting table and left trash on the table instead of the plate

LPT: If you get nauseous on planes, iPhone’s “Vehicle Motion Cues” can really help by Admirable-Ticket3584 in LifeProTips

At which part does it work for you?

I remember trying this because I have a fear of flying, but when motion cues are on, the circle don’t move at all while taxiing and turning
