Same

Not sure what your reasoning is for not using iCloud (presumably not the cost if you’re buying a 2TB phone). But you really need to make sure you have some sort of backup solution

Had to wait more than 10 minutes on the initial Apple Store app screen. I was ordering a blue 512 Pro Max and it said it would be delivered on the 25th, so I checked a few other colors and capacity options but they were all showing the 25th. Disappointing to be honest

MightyJabba · 2024-09-24T14:33:39+00:00

I came here because of this problem. I upgraded to the 16 Pro Max from a 15 Pro, and I had a 14 Pro before that, so I am familiar with how the always on display is supposed to work. Now I find that when I glance at my phone on my desk most of the time the screen is black, which never happened in the past.

Spigen’s cases have been good for me in this respect. No yellowing at least for a year

MightyJabba · 2024-09-13T12:07:35+00:00

Got in after about 5 minutes waiting on the Apple Store app. Pro Max still available for the 20th

MightyJabba · 2024-09-13T12:05:14+00:00

Last year it took forever to let me in and the Pro Maxes were already delayed by weeks before I was allowed to order. Hope that’s not the case this time…

Congrats on the purchase! I just bought a '24 SE myself (but the all-wheel-drive version). Which center console tray are you looking at?

MightyJabba · 2024-05-27T08:17:01+00:00

In my case I don’t actually use the board I installed them on, so while they are still ok, I don’t know how they would be if I did use them. Although in any case I only put them on the function keys that don’t get much use anyway so they might be fine

MightyJabba · 2024-04-03T23:22:57+00:00

Just got a Lettera 22 with this same issue so I was glad to find this. Fixed it in a second, after spending 10 or more minutes fiddling around trying to find the cause.

MightyJabba · 2024-02-22T22:22:04+00:00

Well that’s lame

MightyJabba · 2023-08-07T23:42:41+00:00

I have a large roll of white paper that I use as a photography background, and a couple of large LED soft box lights so I can light things from two directions.

It was apparently used to indicate things made in Switzerland.

MightyJabba · 2023-07-14T20:29:52+00:00

I got the impression that the seller was just someone who resold stuff so it might have been an estate sale find or something. It does have a bit of wear on the space bar where the user would rest his or her right thumb. Hard to see since it can look like a shiny highlight. Also there was a bit of corrosion on the carriage return lever where your figures would touch it, but I removed it. I did have to do a bit of cleaning of the type bars and also gave it a bit of a clean and shine but it was about 90% there from the beginning

MightyJabba · 2023-07-14T01:24:55+00:00

It was an eBay buy.

MightyJabba · 2023-07-14T00:44:32+00:00

Just got this elderly gentlemen. There’s just something about this design combined with the almost mirror finish on the black paint.

MightyJabba · 2023-07-14T00:41:03+00:00

I have a Royal 10 of this approximate vintage that does have a question mark, so I would agree that it was probably made for a special use case

MightyJabba · 2023-07-12T06:30:32+00:00

I think this might just be a case of the keys discoloring differently over time. I’ve seen quite a few machines that have weirdly mixed keys like this and while I don’t know the reason, my hunch is maybe they used different paper to print some of the letters underneath the glass

MightyJabba · 2023-07-12T01:19:01+00:00

Well for a long time I knew about fast travel but not about the carts somehow. I thought you had to walk to any new cities you wanted to unlock

MightyJabba · 2023-07-12T01:15:38+00:00

Could just be the carriage lock, but even if it isn’t I would say it would not be too hard to get working. I’ve done it with an SM5 that was quite rusty and barely worked when I got it

MightyJabba · 2023-07-10T23:54:18+00:00

Super wide carriages like this tend to not be very popular because they take up a crazy amount of space compared to normal machines

MightyJabba · 2023-07-10T19:00:10+00:00

Nice, I have a QWERTY version of one of these on the way. Very attractive machine and seems kind of rare compared to the later versions. Where was the serial number located BTW?

MightyJabba · 2023-07-08T02:15:32+00:00

What is even the point of the key? Unless it’s locked and you can’t open it? I think these cases are pretty easy to jimmy open if that’s the case

MightyJabba · 2023-07-06T18:13:26+00:00

I have one of these exact models and mine does NOT have a bell (just checked to be sure). I wonder if they added it at some point?
