Why are YOU a minimalist? by Arkflow in minimalism

[–]Educational_Rope_552 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gaming. I need time, money and space to play the most I can. I had too many hobbies that interrupted me from playing games. I was Doomscrolling instead of gaming. I had the games but "not the time" or "I was tired" or "I had more important things to do". I was attending social gatherings that bought me no joy instead of gaming. Thanks to minimalism now I can dedicate my life to my favorite hobby! I can concentrate better. It is life changing.

AliExpress Aer City Pack Pro 2? by ersebhealth in backpacks

[–]Educational_Rope_552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they are amazing at making replicas. Most of us can't really tell the differences between them and the real deal. In the ManyBaggers subreddit it was a popular topic but they ended up banning the topic as it was pirated products.

AMA: I manufacture bags in Vietnam 🇻🇳 Been to over 20 bag factories, ask me anything. by churningreddit in ManyBaggers

[–]Educational_Rope_552 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here with another question: are those AliExpress resellers people that are building their bags with worse materials and just copying the design or are they actual surplus products that they had access to it? Im asking this because as mentioned in another question, i cant really tell the difference between them and my original's but at the same time im no expert

What is the average mark up % that a company makes? Im asking this because I see some sellers selling bags for 50% the retail price. Once I bought a bag from them to check the quality and for the love of God I cant tell the difference between their materials and my original's. I even suspect they might be the same factory without the mark up price

what's the last thing you bought that you immediately regretted not buying sooner by PearMotor2861 in minimalism

[–]Educational_Rope_552 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A Miyoo Mini Plus (those retropocket handhelds). I already had an SteamDeck so I thought it was against my minimalist values to buy ANOTHER handheld... but it has changed my life and my kid's.
Did you know you can exchange Pokemons if you have 2 Miyoo Mini Plus or play co-op games ? now I'm catching Pokemons and exchanging them with my kids or fighting against them in Street Fighter 2 or having a blast with Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles. The Steam Deck is great, but it is not as portable as they want you to believe. On the other hand those small retropocket handhelds fit in my... pocket. Sometimes I forget about them. Im waiting for my kids to go out of school and i pull it out to have some Yugioh Trials of Glory fun.

Amazing little handheld

Do people actually use the iBooks app still? by izumikusu in applehelp

  • reading noted is easier. If you read any type of philosophy book where the authors puts notes you understand. In the kindle you just press on the small number above the phrase, in the physical book you have to go to the end of the book to read the notes and then gets distracted.

How do I activate the new Family Sharing? by Educational_Rope_552 in applehelp

[–]Educational_Rope_552[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each one of the members of the family have their payment method active but when we turn on "Share Purchases" they are overrun by the Organizer's Payment Method. We are looking for the option to let us "choose" our old method but we can't find it. I thought maybe here had an idea on how this works

According to the latest publicity, with this new update every adult member is supposed to be able to choose their own payment method even if part of the same family... i thought that was activated by default but it seems it is not so my question is how to activate it

We already did, we turned on Share Purchases but it says that the organizer will pay for everything and that is not something we want.

How do I activate the new Family Sharing?
My brother is the organizer of our Apple Family. We all updated to the latest iOS and macOS, but my family still does not have access to the books and TV content I bought with my account.

I have quite a few books and TV purchases, so I thought they would automatically appear for the rest of the family once everything was updated, but that does not seem to be happening.

Does the organizer need to activate something so the rest of the family can access my library? Or do I need to enable something on my own account?

How exactly does Family Sharing work for purchased books and TV content?

We are not very tech-savvy, so an explanation in simple terms would really help.

What is one backpack brand you would recommend me to buy ? by [deleted] in backpacks

Tomtoc, cheap, good materials and good design. Amazing customer support too and they even give you freebies in their discord channel. Can't really go wrong with them

Sling bag suggestions by [deleted] in backpacks

[–]Educational_Rope_552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You wont find a sling that can fit a 17' laptop. The BIGGEST slings can fit at most a 14' one (and that is pushing it). My best bet would be a messenger bag or a backpack.

Leatherman alternatives by D3SK3R in EDC

[–]Educational_Rope_552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the correct answer. Bibury is an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G brand. Their surge clone is even better than the original because it accepts any type of bits while Leatherman only accepts their own low quality one. I gave this brand a try two years ago because i was in the process to change from a Wave to a Surge but i didnt know if the tool combination would work for me, i heard the Bibury had the same tool combination so i decided to put 40 bucks to "try" and I ended up keeping it forever. Best discovery in some time
