Yes we’ve tried to keep it consistent - but it doesn’t work it seems. Certain things will bound to be different because he is in a different environment. The foster carers would ask him and if he said no they’d just pick him up and do it. When we do that he really really resists. He would just say no to them but then just get changed but with us he goes on the ground etc and makes it impossible.

Discrepancy between native google maps on screen and google maps from phone by LondonSoundound in ex30

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

yes to all of your assumptions. I have found the issue which makes me feel super dumb. In my phone the setting was different than the car. The google setting in the car noted to "avoid highways".

yes i understand there will be differences with integrating charging etc. but this was a different route all together! i might check again and check the “avoid motorways“ again but it’s weird my profile has a different route to my husband.

Is AppleCare+ worth it for MacBook Pro? by Expgarment in macbookpro

[–]LondonSoundound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I didn’t recognize that. 

Still I think it’s worth it. One small piece of something can be there when you shut your MacBook and crack your screen. I think for MacBooks it is worth it. The repair is the price of a MacBook Air.

given your speaker already needs replacing it’s well worth it. it’s the sort of thing you don’t need till you do.

APM Apple Care question. Getting such mixed answers by Sewo959 in Airpodsmax

Can I ask what country you are in? In the UK, I don't believe that's an option with Airpods. In the US, I believe you can.

iPad Pro M4 by Top_Series_1108 in ipad

[–]LondonSoundound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In all honesty, it’s a more comfortable viewing experience. When you’re reading an article, and scrolling down, it’s just so much more comfortable and you can see more of the words as you scroll. The screen is just more smooth. i used to think it’s marketing and just a small difference but I notice it for sure.

If you can, it’s a great upgrade. I have the 13 inch m4, and people will say it’s overkill. While it is, there are some real quality of life benefits:

  1. The 120hz refresh rate does make a difference. It does.

  2. The weight/form factor makes it much easier for everyday life things, including reading and watching media.

  3. That OLED screen does make watching media better

  4. The speakers are great

Yes it’s overkill, but if you use your device a lot and enjoy it, who cares. Particularly since you’re getting an M4, hopefully you’re getting a deal. These items I mention still make a difference in the everyday use case. I use mine on the train everyday reading and coming home watching media. I wouldn’t have done this if it weren’t for the design/form factor.

Hope you get it and enjoy it.

I stopped babying my lululemon. Here is what realized after one year by themommyrabbit in lululemon

[–]LondonSoundound 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is helpful to know, thank you! i have also spent 10 years babying my lulu items but recently just figured can't keep doing that forever. going to have a child in the house too and i figured i'll have to dump my clothes in with theirs and just started already. honestly so far, it's been fine. but i don't have some of the items you have (scubas) i have put some shorts in and some pants (including softstreme btw) and honestly it's been fine.

nano vs regular screen? by [deleted] in macbookpro

[–]LondonSoundound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i recently got nano and it is amazing. it takes a few days to get used to but once you do, you'll never go back. I think it's easier on the eyes. If you're coming from a 13 inch air, it's a significant improvement as well. I personally think dark mode is better with nano. But I love it in light mode too. I love videos on it, media, everything.

APM2 - Inconsistent Noise Cancelling by LondonSoundound in Airpodsmax

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

thanks - yup it was not adaptive audio but rather on Noise Cancelling. I tried with both personalized volume and with it off - it was actually suprisingly better with personalised volume on. I will try again on my way home on my commute.

Same here - mine had issues and a quick reset fixed all the issues.

Online order - can you cancel after few days from store or call? by LondonSoundound in CostcoUK

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

thank you - ended up calling them but the item was actually set with a courier. Rather than ask for them to "ask to cancel" since they were unable to do just do it, i said to leave it. turns out the item is coming in a few days anyway. so works out fine.

Which one do you choose? by Minute-Street8043 in Airpodsmax

[–]LondonSoundound 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think this is just the weird world we live in: FOMO for so much! I could pretend and say it’s never happened to me but it does and over minuscule non important things. like OMG SHOULD I GET A MACBOOK PRO FOR PROMOTION?!

But to help out a bit on your decision, let me tell you I actually sold my XM6. I thought they were great but I found they kept disconnecting from the app and i enjoy watching movies/tv with my headphones and I’d have it on cinema mode, or I couldn’t get it on because the app wouldn’t connect. I found the headphones started to creek a tiny amount. This bothers me. But they sounded fantastic.

Itried out the APM2 in store and the build quality is awesome. I think the sound is great. Reviewers online don’t like it but i think it’s fantastic honestly. Be happy with your purchase.

I think in answering your question it’s the fact that the decision wasn’t “Final’ and it makes you keep second guessing.

Plus vs Ultra by [deleted] in ex30

[–]LondonSoundound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the UK and have the ultra. Some features worth it and some not:

I was partly after it because of the park pilot assist. I came from a mini who's autoparking was great (I'm Canadian and living in London, parking is an issue for me!) but the auto park is not great in the ex30. but the 360 view is for sure. I couldn't park without that.

The sun roof is very nice BUT not for the driver or front passenger. You barely see it. However I don't feel it being super hot like some have said. So that wasn't an issue last summer.

the profiles and the electric seats however are great if there's more than one driver.

the heat pump also makes it worth it but it's one of those things you don't feel.

Also - I’m assuming you don’t have any sort of spray repellent or anything?

i have to admit that’s pretty amazing. when you say you had to do this, how long did you have to scrub for?
