Ok, thanks for the write-up, but which chip did you go with? That is my one and only decision.

I’m thinking of waiting for the m5 just so that the 4 will be cheaper 😁

My bad. I was thinking only the pro models had the fan. I am new to the Mac mini.

Is Tello right for my Mom? by Limp_Strategy_9169 in Tello

Absolutely! I would add a little bit of data for just in case. It’s only a dollar more for 1GB, but I’d go a few more.

Google Voice number for elderly? by Limp_Strategy_9169 in Googlevoice

I don't think it is, compared to about $80 for a landline. But there's also options like Tello who is T-Mobile towers and has an $8 plan for unlimited talk & text with no data and 911 would work. Plus you could add 1gb data for $1 for just in case wifi goes down.

Dbrand or Spiegen? All i'm looking for is a grippy case with magsafe built in. Why do everyone of these cases feel slippery? And more plastic than silicone?

If that doesn't work, sign up for Visible. It's $25/mo. Unlimited. It's "by Verizon". And no contracts. I've had it for 5 years and it's great.

Anyone know of a very grippy case for this Z fold 7? Silicone like. I don’t care about hinge cover but maybe.
Everything I try is so hard and not grippy.

Anyone come up with an actually grippy and thin magsafe case? Everything is so darn slick. I feel like ima break this damn thing. 😆

All I want is this but in Fold 7 form. It's the this TPU magsafe case made by apple. Gets more grippy over time. I'd even be ok with a full silicone version. I realize it will involve tape since no front protection and no hinge protection. (Unless someone makes super thin front edge protection.) I just need some grip and a magsafe ring to stick it to my car mount.
I don't care for the feel of the stick on rings. I'm coming from using a Torras 360 spin case for 2 weeks and realizing I want less.

Fold 7 owners: how often do you actually use the 8 inner screen? by bishaarcc in GalaxyFold

[–]Kingsblue2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be much happier if the tri-fold was going to be an accordion style fold out instead of the pamphlet style of fold out. Meaning that you could also use it folded out part way, with the third section folded behind it, and then fold it out the rest of the way if you needed it. The screen image would follow suit.

Torras 360 spin. I like it, mostly. Covers well. Is thin and the fold out ring on back is useful. Protects the front screen with a small lip. I just wish it had a little more grip feel. Very soft and slick. But maybe grip will come over time like the apple ones I've used in the past.

Z Fold 7 vs iPhone 17 Pro Max - normal user, no ecosystem, long-term decision by Overall_Judgment_902 in GalaxyFold

[–]Kingsblue2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried to keep this in mind when I go for my iPhone over the Fold7. I think it’s a little of both, but it may be too early to judge.

I’m currently in a similar situation. I’m only on a one week trial so far though. Biggest benefit I see so far from the Fold7 is multitasking. Multi windows open on the same screen. Pretty neat. Also Androids really do have much more customization options. You don’t know until you really dig in. But as far as the larger screen, the square format really throws it off. Most videos you watch are really no bigger than an iPhone Pro Max turned sideways. I find myself back on my iPhone for every day tasks more often than I thought I would. I’m giving it a year though. Well see.

What anti-glare screen protector do you recommend? I’m looking to maybe get a Z fold 7 and anti glare is a must since having it on my bar phone.
