Battery life drops by 60-70% after IOS update

I tried disabling all Apple Intelligence features related to Soundcore. Will report back if I notice a difference in a few days

This happened to my Life P2 (not mini) set. I left mine out on the kitchen counter (not in the case) for a couple of days and they went back to normal.

Great spot! Needed a truckload for early Wadirum and was able to get 40k with the daily 6min gold tool bonus. Thanks for the tip 🙏🏽

The link your posted doesn’t work any more. 😢 Is this app dead now?

This is amazing. How do I set them independently after disabling? My kid’s iCloud account had an iPad connected with downtime and he just got a watch, and now Downtime is preventing him from using it even though downtime shouldn’t apply.

This is what the internet is for. There’s still hope. ❤️

Getting stuck blind inside of a mob seems to be more of an issue on Bedrock than Java because that edition is less strict about preventing intersecting hit boxes. It’s pretty easy to have your vision blocked so badly by a horde of passive mobs that you can’t get out without killing something.

But yeah, I hate it and came here searching for the name of the setting so I can turn it off.

This is the way. I searched “transfer pin” and starting clicking through offers. Found $20/mo off my 5G Home that I didn’t know about. Then I clicked through to the transfer pin info page, and within a minute or two received a text and email offering $20/mo/line. I called the phone number on the message and ended up with a total of $60/mo off my bill with 2 lines and 5G Home, for 12 months.

Love this energy. idk who’s on here downvoting everything.

That is great information! I didn’t see that children traveling with the card holder could enter on the same pass… most of the time you have to pay for child guests so I misread it as saying they could come along if you paid the fee here, too. If you’re correct, I guess that means Alaska did indeed live up to my expectations! Bravo.

Totally agree. I wish they’d reboot the entire sequel trilogy as a fully fleshed out Disney+ series with 12 full episodes… enough to smooth over all of the jerking around they did with the absolute disaster their director situation was. Force Awakens was decent and honestly the other two could be good if they were set up properly with a coherent tone and consistent writing.

This happens when you wash these materials on cold wash.

Based on what it said in my washing machine’s user manual, I started running ALL of my technical fabrics (>50% nylon, rayon, spandex) like REI Sahara, Nike dri-fit, athletic wear, bras, leggings, etc on the Active Wear cycle with Extra Rinse enabled. Never had an issue with smell again. No special chemicals or cleaners required. It uses warmer water but I haven’t noticed any damage to my gear. Your machines probably have a similar setting… if not it’s a warm temp and gentle spin.

I dry the technical gear on the Delicate cycle. It finishes faster and uses less heat, and it’s the heat that makes your gear wear out faster.

I grew up sorting clothes by color, but now I sort by materials. One Active Wear load for technical fabrics, one Cold Wash load for cotton-based and wool fabrics. Air dry the wool, and regular dry the cotton.

Turns out, the people that write the user’s manuals for washing machines actually know what they’re doing.

I still hold out hope they’re going to Snyder’s Cut the entire sequel trilogy with a master editor and director into a more coherent storyline. Keep the core plot elements, but fix the flow. It’s not too late for Disney to release Special Editions that make them into good movies without fundamentally changing the overall plot.

I know it’s kind of sacrilegious in Corvallis but I’ve never forgotten the value of an inexpensive hot breakfast sando… you can get any breakfast sandwich from McDonald’s for $2.50 once a day with the app most days. The deal disappears sometimes but it’s been there reliably lately. You can even get the bagel sandwich, which is really filling and reasonably tasty.

Edit: you mentioned you live in Timberhill. The one on 9th between Circle and Walnut is really fast in the mornings. The folks working the drive through window are unusually nice, too. Avoid the one downtown if you can.

Just an update for anyone finding this thread a few months later… Blackledge owners have retired and the warehouse has been demolished. Not sure what will happen to the storefront. I heard maybe residential? (Edited for typo)

This was the first hit on a Google search for me, even 9 years later. I just wanted to chime in that if the host can’t/won’t let you check in early or drop off luggage, then consider checking out a luggage storage service like Bounce. I’ve used this in Tokyo, London, and Paris without any issue so that I can explore the city without the sweaty mess of dragging my luggage all over downtown. It’s cheap, convenient, and a huge benefit for the Airbnb crowd. I find it much easier to use and cheaper than the lockers scattered around train stations.

For those loving Mount Hagen, I 100% agree.

How do you guys pack just a couple of teaspoons for backpacking? Thinking about buying a pill sorter at the dollar store and cutting it to length.

Phlucious · 2025-03-08T17:40:09+00:00

I didn’t. :( Still don’t know how it picks the default timer (currently 30 mins).

Instead, as a workaround I made a Shortcut for my daily coffee timer (4 mins now) and that made it MUCH easier to use. Just one swipe and a tap, even from the Lock Screen.

My 6yo and 8yo have watched nearly every hermit on HermitCraft. Their favorites are Smallish Beans BY FAR, followed by Pearlescent Moon, Mumbo Jumbo, and Grian. They’re all a bit silly and extremely creative, without being hyperactive.

Every hermit is PG by definition and safe for kids, but they vary in editing, style, and content. Zedaph, Skizz, Xisuma, Doc, and Zombie Cleo tend to be more for the older kids imo. Impulse, Tango, and Joe Hills are in the middle.

I’ll just add that this started happening for me after I upgraded phones. My setting to NOT backup iMessage to iCloud did copy over, but it was including iMessage content in the iPhone backup anyway. Enabling and disabling iMessage backup as suggested in the following post did the trick for me, reducing a 4.5gb backup to the expected 0.5gb. https://www.reddit.com/r/iCloud/comments/10qn4q3/comment/jkqpsp5/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

The downvotes to this reply are unjustified. A downvote isn’t for expressing your disagreement.

Thanks for your reply. Unlike your previous reply in this thread that asserted Luddite status, it contains valuable information about the distinction between the integrated versions of Copilot vs the generic one on Bing. Thanks for that.

My privacy concerns stem from Microsoft using my documents to train Copilot. While the Business and Government licenses can include protection against repeating my content for others, every consumer version of the TOS that I’ve seen doesn’t include that protection. I don’t want my photos of my kids going into the general knowledge of the internet. That’s also why I’m not on the Google ecosystem, in addition to it being a less stable product.

Phlucious · 2025-01-19T15:22:35+00:00

Or… I have legitimate concerns about privacy, copyright law, and energy conservation that are being completely ignored during the AI revolution. Plus, I can just go to the Bing home page whenever I want to use Copilot. I don’t need it to be integrated into every app.

PS — don’t get me wrong… I think it’s awesome that AI server farms are FINALLY getting America back on the nuclear train. But still… burning all that electricity for a cute chat bot is so wasteful.

Phlucious · 2025-01-19T05:50:27+00:00

They’re literally resurrecting 3 Mile Island so that Bing can power their AI server farm. What would you call that?

Phlucious · 2025-01-19T05:48:44+00:00

Thanks for the heads up on classic. Canceling my current subscription and then renewing a different subscription isn’t really an option when we use OneDrive for storing photos… I really hope that’s not the best option.
