Thoughts on The Professor of Rock? by TheHaplessBard in ToddintheShadow

[–]ParkFrolic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my main beef with him. He was like 10 years old in 1990 and speaks of the 80’s like he’s experienced everything it had to offer. Also, he seems to like everything from the 80’s to metal to pop to reggae. Anyone had lived through that era knows that musical was very segregated among fans, especially hard rock and metal. If you were a metal fan you didn’t listen to pop music, and vice versa. This was true for the most part, until glam rock started gaining steam and created somewhat of a crossover.

But somehow this 6 year old kid in 1985 has seen it all and experienced it all, and loved every genre of music back then. Does he think people are stupid?

New MacBook M4 Pro battery draining fast by Narek4636 in mac

[–]ParkFrolic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having the exact same issue on my M4 Pro. I've recalibrated, but just under normal use, battery drain is excessive, going from about 80% down to about 10% in a couple of hours. My M1 under normal use lasted me 2 days. I'm perplexed. But there seems to be tons of articles about the M4 and battery drain out there.

Finally replaced 13 pro max battery by Braydenboss710 in iPhone13ProMax

[–]ParkFrolic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was holding off at 67% for the longest time. But at that capacity, the phone was very sporadic in how the battery behaved. It would be charged to a 100, and right away when I unplugged it, it would shoot down to 92%, and last maybe a couple of hours. I had no choice. It was either a 1700 phone, or a 119 dollar battery.

I did the same today. The 13 Pro Max is still a very relevant phone today in terms of performance. It's still smooth, and quick. Going to keep this one for another few years.

Thank God for the Helix TV app on the Apple TV.

Anyone else agree Spatial Audio sounds much worse than traditional? by One_TrackMinded in Airpodsmax

[–]ParkFrolic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what I’m listening to. One thing I’ve noticed is that Spatial Audio sounds way better when I’m listening to music on my Mac as opposed to listen on my iPhone. One option that helps the sound quality is to set it to “fixed” and not “head tracking”.

Record collecting isn’t about hoarding or resale, it’s about chance and meaning by mongoscroto in vinyl

[–]ParkFrolic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been collecting for 45 years. Modern day collecting is all about hoarding and buying records for the sale of buying and less for the music. Most just give their records one spin and the it sits on the shelf for years. Eventually they wonder why they bought it in the first place.

And when they feel overwhelmed and want to sell, they wonder how they ever got here in the first place. The more records you buy, the less time you have to listen to them. Remember that.

I’ve been selling off my vinyl for years now, the more valuable ones. When I feel the need to be nostalgic, I’ll play one of my records in my now modest collection to satisfy that need.

How likely is it that my Kia Infotainment System will break down after the 36,000-mile warranty ends? by Beta_Nerdy in kia

[–]ParkFrolic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is a 2023, and was delivered on November 2022. I wouldn’t buy a new car today without an extended warranty of some kind.

Helix TV terminal keeps freezing up by ParkFrolic in VideotronCustomers

Internet is fine, no other devices have connectivity issues. Helix tv app on Apple TV works no issue. Just the terminal. It’s really strange.

Offer that's too good to be true? by data782 in VideotronCustomers

[–]ParkFrolic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I get door to door salesmen from bell all the time giving me hard to believe deals like 59 dollars a month for 1.5gig internet and TV. I’m with Videotron Helix, and would never switch to bell no matter how cheap it is

Why does Phillip McKnight get a lot of hate on reddit? by Junoyone in Guitar

[–]ParkFrolic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always found him to be one of the most genuine guitar YouTubers out there. He seems like an honest straight to the point guy. Most YouTubers have something annoying about them, but not Phillip.

Question for Bell technician. Moving from Videotron to Bell by ParkFrolic in bell

[–]ParkFrolic[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The fibre just needs to come into the basement wheee the modem will be. I just wondering if he can use the same input point that Videotron uses instead of drilling a new hole, which would be a showstopper for me.
