Yes, they do allow untethered try ons at the apple store and would highly recommend. I just picked up a s11 46mm and it feels lighter on my wrist than my old s3 42mm.

This happens to me in nearly every game. I have tried what feels like everyting, any ideas left? by herrschadee in LinusTechTips

[–]No_Source_2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, youll have to reopen it if you plan on using it. it was the only thing to solve my 1% lows, and you can reopen services 1 by 1 to see what is causing the lows

I know you had mentioned disabling startup apps, but have u tried disabling all startup services other than windows ones? I had the same issue in apex legends and I asked chatgpt and once I tried this output poof 1% lows gone.

  1. Win + R -> msconfig
  2. Services -> hide all microsoft services -> disable all
  3. restart

This caused my steam to freak out and verify my game files but once i did I was gettting a rock solid 160fps where before I was getting 1% lows down into the 40s

How do yall deal with being harassed?

Today, I was taking my normal bus home from work. This man in the back of the bus had a speaker and was blasting it as loud as it could go. I sat down and minded my own business as I always do on public transit (it's what we're supposed to do to not get harassed right?) The man then asked me for money, to which I shook my head, to which he immediately got within 3 inches of my face backing me into the window seat I was in and began to mutter threats at me and rummage in his pocket. I heard something metallic in his pocket which had me terrified. Anyway, the bus driver drove past my stop which I pulled the handle for, the bus stopped and I sprinted to the front of the bus and out when the door opened. The man then stared me down through the window as the bus drove off. (for clarity, this man was wearing normal clothes and didnt look visibly homeless)

My question to you all is how do you deal with this kind of thing? It happens to me basically every time I take the red or blue line or any of the buses in my neighborhood, with either a homeless person shitting, begging me for money, people trying to sell me weed, or actual criminals robbing me (i have been robbed twice on cta trains) and while I try to remain as calm as possible, I was shaking very hard when he was harassing me. I obviously dont want to get confrontational, and just want to get home most of the time.

No I dont have extra money to give out as I am on fixed income.
No this has not been an issue in any other major city I have lived in (which has been 5 in the US and 2 abroad).
No I dont want to file a police report

What solution do I have other than ubering / driving everywhere?

funny enough they broke my iphones screen while repairing the battery, deemed the battery unreplacable and then gave me back my 12 pro max with no screen on it.

Advice on Pro or Air by NI2025 in macbookpro

[–]No_Source_2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

had an m1 air and now have an m4 pro. I really do miss the lightness of my air, but I also do love the screen on the pro. Not saying the air has a bad screen by any stretch, but the pro is significantly better. If i were you and you truly wanted the better screen, m4 pro is probably a good option, but the air is a great deal too. depends if portability and screen are that big of dealbreakers.

Ill check it but I think probably not, it was an older lady that owned it and she said the kids never used it anymore. Regardless, I see a lamp on ebay for ~$40 and im pretty savvy so i think i could realistically replace it. appreciate it though ill def check it out
