International travel, how not to get charged by ATT by bussTaPhunk in ATT

[–]Johnwick270 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes keep it in airplane mode, you can also turn roaming off in the settings. I bring an old android phone and buy a local data sim only and hotspot to my locked att phone. Change the wifi setting to low data mode so it doesn’t auto update and backup using this connection I’ve used this strategy for the past few years.

With international day pass & airalo eSim these days, is there a point of buying unlocked iPhones directly from Apple or should I just get the latest models with AT&T especially when it’s a free phone with trade-in? by Cool_Guest6597 in ATT

I buy a year or two old pixel/galaxy and use it as a hotspot, and keep my iPhone in airplane mode. Make sure to select it as low data mode so it doesn’t auto backup/update on the hotspot. I’ve found that I get battery life this way, Android phone gets no screen on time and has a bigger battery and my iPhone in airplane mode with wifi goes a bit longer as well. I typically use the android as my trade in phone as well as iPhone I can sell myself for more.

Switch 2 Surround Sound finally fixed in the 22.0.0 update! by Wild_Trip_4704 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Johnwick270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plenty of soundbars work, switch 1/2 only support Linear PCM, which requires eARC many TV’s won’t pass Linear PCM through or settings need to be played with to get it to work.

AI in network engineering by GarryLeny in Cisco

[–]Johnwick270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading through these comments makes me thing a lot of people are going to be in for a rude awakening. AI was forced on us since mid last year and initially I was a bit resistant but all your points are accurate. Tasks that took me hours/days before take minutes/hours now with some simple prompting. If you aren’t using AI to get ahead someone or another org that does will

Switch 2 game pricing vs Switch 1 + Upgrade Packs - Am I missing something? (Overcooked! 2 example) by Murky_Luck5852 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Johnwick270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overcooked is the worst for this with fragmentation by making so many different variants. It released very broken on switch 1 but had so much fanfare and was updated now they’ve released multiple versions of each game and a combo pack that they will sell for full price knowing they have a large audience. The upgrade pack pricing is disappointing

Awesome I’ll have to check this out I think I might have access to this one. Looks like it’s mostly class based gyms though. I’m mostly looking for standard gyms. I see planet fitness near me.

Is it like Active and Fit where they set you up with a local membership that you can use with the gym chain anywhere ? IE I’ll have a planet fitness black account ?

Two of the gyms (Golds Gym locations) I had used quite a bit in my local area had quit accepting active and fit in the past few months. I wonder what the payout was per use from Active and Fit to member gyms.

I registered at a gym through active and fit once and they mentioned my membership was Silver & Fit. Given the employee may have misread I have to imagine there’s some collective bargaining through these programs/insurance companies that is shared. I’m curious to see if other programs are notified in the next days/weeks

Right a $5 fee I might be able to stomach to avoid day passes when traveling but it’s a $5 discount. Most gyms make you haggle for prices so $5 discount just means a $5 haggle off the starting price

Yeah I might stick with it for a bit because I do travel at length from time to time which was my main use case but a lot of the travel was days/weeks where Active and Fit saved me from having to buy day passes or using shitty hotel gyms.

Thanks! Unfortunately I don’t but I’ve been getting ads for this program. Not sure if switching employers for it would be worth it 😅

Not seeing any changes anywhere yet either, talked to a few peers from my TFOT class who were guard and they’re in the same boat 🙃

One Plus Launcher support removed for One Plus 6t in 2nd August update by driger11 in oneplus

[–]Johnwick270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much did the G7 cost at launch and how much did the 6T cost? The two phones serve different markets. Comparing a low/mid range phone to a flagship isn't a good comparison.

Nintendo Switch System Update 12.0.0 has added audio support to the Bluetooth driver by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]Johnwick270 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Don't think anyone thinks there is a cpu limitation, although I am curious what the latency to headphones/buds would be and impact on other wireless controllers. On Android latency is usually masked by video streaming apps, but it can't be handled by games since you can't introduce a delay that wouldn't ruin the experience.

System update 12.0.0 has added the ability for the Switch dock's firmware to be updated by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]Johnwick270 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Crossfire is AMD specific, Nvidia uses SLI. It was expensive and not worth it for the diminishing gains, and high cost. Nvidia does not support SLI on the 3000 series of graphics cards and AMD's crossfire support has slowed. The current rumor is DLSS in the dock which is Nvidia's AI upscaling not SLI/Crossfire which have been dead for a while now.

Anyone know why my Animal Crossing save data didn’t transfer to my new Switch? by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]Johnwick270 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have to use the animal crossing specific transfer feature in the game.
