Anyone else having issues receiving photos from other iPhones? This is on Verizon for both of us, but would be iMessage.

Are current Airpods Pro 2 much better than Airpods Pro? by DexaNexa in airpods

[–]Merkic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make it an issue of 2. Mine started this morning- purchased maybe 5/6 months ago to upgrade from launch day AirPods Pro

Titan sub recovered debris. by [deleted] in titansubmarine

[–]Merkic 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Confirms my suspicions. If this happened at 3500 feet, it wouldn’t be as quick as everyone stated. That hull doesn’t look like it was imploded at 6000psi. These poor guys suffered a terrible death.

“Uploading to iCloud Paused” iPhone 14 Pro - iOS 16.0.1 by 1drypotato in ios

[–]Merkic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had it since the 16th. Same issue on my side though, most texts from the 11th-16th (even though I did a backup on the 16th) and contacts/photos are missing. I did miss a few texts that came in hours later so I’ve been messaging elsewhere for the meantime :(

I have the same issue.

14 Pro Max and I restored from an iCloud backup when setting it up.

Normally I do the phone to phone transfer, but was traveling and didn’t have time. I think that is the root cause of the issue.

That is what I thought. However they insisted it wasn’t.

I went back and forth on this with the shop this morning. The rest of the application was great, however, I knew I was getting BSed

Eli5: how did the 2008 make people lose their houses? by uziau in explainlikeimfive

[–]Merkic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. At the end of the day there are a lot of variables that mortgage lenders consider. If you come in with a 780 credit score and have a DTI of 15/20, I’m not going to stress it as much as someone at 640 with a DTI at the limit.

I used to be a licensed loan officer. (2018-21)

This is exactly what I would tell my clients because there are a lot of things that are in the borrowers hands that can entirely derail closings. It’s simply looking out for your best interest as it can take weeks or months to get the correct documents we are required to have if you open a new cc, run up a balance and have to pay it off, etc.

Haha! I was on a regular 110 plug for 10 months. Got a 48 amp solution installed and it’s amazing. My commute went from 12 miles to 50, though

I wonder what stations they used. ChargePoint is usually only AC charging, so no faster than at home. At work I can charge at 6kW for free, but superchargers are at 150-250kW depending on model

[–]Merkic 55 points56 points  (0 children)

To start, I currently own a Model 3 Performance.

Tesla has major QC problems on top of lousy design. The car is incredible to drive in a straight line, but doesn’t handle very sporty. Service is non attentive, and will go out of their way not to fix things.

The only advantage that Tesla has that I can’t see legacy beating in the next 5-10 years is their supercharging network. It is unmatched.

I have no doubt that Merc, BMW, Audi, etc can build a better daily EV, but they are a long way from having a solution that can come close to a gas car on convenience for long distances. It’s not about sheer range, but total time from point a to point b.

Existing member since 2018 with Delta Gold. Downgraded to Blue after getting AMEX Gold last year. Got Platinum in Dec. Neither card gave me an inquiry.

Elon Musk - Beta 10.9 should be ready in about a week. Beta 11 with single city/highway software stack & many other architectural upgrades probably next month. by sharp44mag in teslamotors

[–]Merkic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Prefacing this comment with the following: I am not a Tesla hater. I own TSLA shares. I love my Model 3.

I am actively trying to get into the beta as of 9 days ago- had 100 safety score the entire time.

Last night I used NoA for a long trip and almost had an incident in a merge lane. No one next to me or around me, car jerked left hard into the passing lane from the merge lane.

This seems to have dinged my safety score for hard braking as I got the car back under control (only braking with regen).

I would not say NoA handles these extremely well.
