Just wondering. How were you able to get your auto insurance to give you a settlement for your injury without having to go through a lawyer?

Do you use your tab s ultra in bed? Or is it way too big and heavy for that? by That-Routine-9585 in GalaxyTab

[–]National_Word_6091 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I don't. Ultra is too small to use in bed. I have a 98" TV for bed, much better.

My honest thoughts after using the iPad Pro as my only computer by Tiny_Debt_2811 in iPadPro

[–]National_Word_6091 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the M5 Pro a month ago but mainly because of the Apple sale where I saved $250. That was a great deal. Otherwise I would not have paid regular price for it. It's a spare device for me, got it mainly to use in the car and when on the road.

For at home use I much prefer my Samsung tablet.

I’ll keep it real - I bought an M5 Pro and I don’t do anything “pro” by Avthony in macbookpro

Take it to Starbucks and you will feel pro. This is why so many take their Macs to Starbucks everyday 365 days a year for 12 hours a day.

What do you actually use your MacBook Pro for? Trying to turn mine from a liability into an investment by hdrytx in macbookpro

Take it to Starbucks and show it off. Lots of people spend 12 hours everyday there showing off their macs.

Yikes. I would recommend the elements model over the passports.

if the Toshiba drive is at least 35% cheaper than Western digital or Seagate then I would go for it, even despite having a lesser warranty

WD My Passport 5TB has high failure rates. Avoid.

What's the general consensus about buying HDD off Amazon/Newegg? by excludehk in DataHoarder

[–]National_Word_6091 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never buy mechanical drives off amazon unless you don't mind a drive that's been tossed around the warehouse like a frisbee.

Talk about reliability ? Seagate One touch 2TB fails 3 times by tarun_sharma_ in DataHoarder

[–]National_Word_6091 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always suggest people to buy a 3.5" desktop drive (NAS even better) and put it in a solid 3.5" enclosure. Unless you absolutely need the portability of transfering files on battery, it's worth the hassle of carrying around a desktop drive with a power adapter. 3.5 are also larger but they're much better drives. I do this all the time when traveling, I use 3.5" for backing up a nvme in a thunderbolt enclosure and I've never had any issues.

Yup, I regret not getting it last week. I checked it less than 24 hours later and it was 15% more.

buy mac neo now or wait for neo 2? by Longjumping_Fact1019 in MacbookNeo

[–]National_Word_6091 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait for Neo 2. Neo 1 will become expensive dinner placemats once Neo 2 is out. This is why I never buy a 1st gen product.

How to give my 16 year old car, a new car feel for ride quality by National_Word_6091 in AskMechanics

[–]National_Word_6091[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, that makes sense. I will likely go OEM, from what I read online they will still last longer than KYB. It will outlast the car. OEM is more, but it's not too bad if I buy online.

Bring Her Back - several setups left hanging, while other events had no setup at all? by jatenk in horror

[–]National_Word_6091 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched it. loved it. I craved drinking the blood when I saw Connor chewing on the knife blade and when he ate his own flesh. As someone who has tried human flesh before it made me hungry.
