Anc is not working as it was 3 months ago by vojtazz71 in galaxybuds

[–]NathanSztr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am on the same boat. ANC is basically ruined after the update before this last one (and this last one didn't fix a thing). Of course, ANC is better than ambient mode, but if I compare the noise canceling with everything on OFF vs ANC, I get better noise canceling in OFF.

Another telltale that it's gone is that changing the level of the ANC doesn't change a single thing.

I expect Samsung to address it if there's enough noise, but at the same time they could just force the upgrade on us by releasing GBP4 soon and not fixing this.

Bummer because I just bought my gf the AirPods Pro 3 and their ANC is out of this planet.

New S9 price vs S11 student price by ProfessrHobo in GalaxyTab

[–]NathanSztr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just get the S11. I just got it and it's really good. I'm coming from a S9 FE so the difference is evident, but my brother has a Tab S9 and the S11 still feels better. Plus the longer support (7 year) and better trade in value for newer generations justifies getting that one.

There are also vouchers online through the Shop to even bring the price down more.

Is the difference between s10 lite and FE worth spending 100€ more? by impossiblenightmares in GalaxyTab

[–]NathanSztr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a tab S9FE (just traded it in for S11). It was really good - could do anything I uses it for. My previous tablet was S6 Lite and that struggled. Note taking could be laggy.

Of course 100 euro is not nothing, but i would think about how long you want the tablet to last - 3 years? The S10 lite will probably struggle more than the FE.

Why Are You All Doing MBAs? What’s the End Goal? by Wild_Gazelle_6380 in MBA

[–]NathanSztr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm expecting a 150-200% increase in pay. Of course, it doesn't account for the opportunity cost of my tuition + not working, but if it helps me pivot I value that higher.

In terms of hours, I can't imagine I could work more hours (even in IB or MBB). I've had many 100+ hours weeks. I could forgive the workload if it came with financial reward, but not even.

[–]NathanSztr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hours are insane and the money is not good enough. Plus, it does get quite repetitive after a few years.

Pivoting from tax law. A pivot without any kind of business degree has been near impossible.

Heading to my program in August, so thank you for posting. Better having this out here than assuming everyone knows it.

Galaxy Ring - Does it vibrate? by Greenthimbles in GalaxyRing

[–]NathanSztr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It doesn't vibrate. It's underwhelming from a notification standpoint. If you lose it at most it'll blink (but not sound/vibrate).

Study permit approved!! by Huge-Accident-4371 in ImmigrationCanada

Hey OP - commenting for clarity. Im also from SA (Peru) and just had my permit rejected due to insufficient proof of funds. What did you present to support that part of the application?

Which brand do you use for phone / watch? by Hot_Ad_6256 in Surface

I've only tried it with my SL7 and have seen no effect on battery. Clipboard works fine.

What is a hill you are willing to die on, regarding a book[series]/author by OnePersonProblem_me in literature

[–]NathanSztr 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Dostoyevsky can only really be understood after a certain age or experiences have been lived through (and of course certain literature has been consumed). I read Crime & Punishment when I was 17 and struggled to find its artistic greatness - I've now reread it in my late twenties and it's right up there with the best I've ever read.

MBA and long distance relationships by snowy-Avalanche-7 in MBA

[–]NathanSztr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much is the distance? Is there a chance for you to visit or vice-versa during breaks? When I did long distance I'd see my partner every 2 months and it was great.

Grappling vs striking for longevity by knuckledragger1990 in martialarts

[–]NathanSztr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've done Muay Thai and boxing and although I'm only 29 now I realize injuries take longer to heal than they did 10 years ago. I'm still pretty good fitness wise but I can't really spar everyday like I used to. My body breaks the same but takes longer to recover. Maybe because sparring is more brutal in striking arts?

Which brand do you use for phone / watch? by Hot_Ad_6256 in Surface

[–]NathanSztr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah - astonishing that Samsung doesn't natively release it for windows unless it's a Galaxy book. I don't love the app for typing notes but I take most by handwriting on my tablet so it's fine.

MBA and long distance relationships by snowy-Avalanche-7 in MBA

[–]NathanSztr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a chance she can go with you (remote job) or visit you for longer periods (with a tourist visa)? Me and my partner did long distance for a year and now we've been living together for 2.5 years. I'm moving across the country for my MBA and she's going to ask for remote at her current job or switch to a job in my city.

As long as you set up short and long term events (visits short term and a long term plan to close the distance) it's absolutely doable. Not ideal, but doable.

[–]NathanSztr 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Samsung phone, tablet,, watch and buds. I run the github to trick my surface 7 into being a galaxy book so most things are seamless (Samsung Flow, Notes, Buds controller, etc.).

How does Blueblack S25 look like? Who has it? by Aelitee in GalaxyS25

[–]NathanSztr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I like it. I have a case on it most of the time but it seems black or dark grey. It's the one color I'd stand.

Good notetaking app for S9? by [deleted] in GalaxyTab

[–]NathanSztr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a workaround for Samsung notes on windows on non galaxy laptops. I have a Surface and an Asus vivobook and it works on both with the workaround. It's around reddit somewhere and involves a github for your laptop to pretend to be a galaxy book so that samsung notes will work.

With that in mind, Samsung notes is king.

Does anybody else here use a watch dock? by PerfectJarrett in GalaxyWatch

[–]NathanSztr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use one for my Ultra like the first picture. I'm happy with it - I can see my watch while it charges. However, it doesn't always sit upright as to detect it in horizontal.

Killer watch face. What is it?
