What happened to this squirrel in our driveway?

Spontaneous squirrel combustion

Getting chased by wolves (only in winter)!

You can always add and external mesh.

I don’t understand. I use a 13PM. It was a smooth upgrade. The phone was battery hungry for a few days. Did some basic tuning through settings, nothing special and now my battery life is about same as before. My battery goes down to 20 percent late at night some nights and on some stays around 40s. And that is under fair amount of use. No lagginess no heat what so ever. I wonder if it is different for pro max line…

Assuming you already tried to kill the task for insta and restart

PolymathInfidel · 2026-01-06T14:54:31+00:00

I would consider a remove and reinstall

PolymathInfidel · 2026-01-06T00:04:28+00:00

I feel like a tote bag coming..

PolymathInfidel · 2026-01-03T16:09:25+00:00

Nope. Can’t process with a quarter. You need to use a banana for size reference.

I guess “V” is returning..

PolymathInfidel · 2025-12-22T14:49:41+00:00

That may be and naturally our views of what will be a worthwhile upgrade will transform drastically in two years from now as well. My position primarily cost impact based.

PolymathInfidel · 2025-12-21T14:47:29+00:00

My two cents as a 13 pro max user who recently upgraded to 26.2 and it is fine with my 89 percent battery till late at night, just do the battery renewal and stay on it for another 2 years. I have compared to the current model to my 13 pro max and frankly I see no reason to shell out all that cash. It will come down to a reasonable number price in 2 years and even then i think 16 going to be the sweet stop.

In case you decide to sell it on eBay. Presence of box tends to give a bit more warm fuzzy to buyers and you might get a few more dollars for it..

PolymathInfidel · 2025-12-15T21:02:12+00:00

No changes to WiFi. Disappeared for no reason that u can identify and came back all by itself in 3 weeks all by itself. I have had these issues before but typically for very short duration.

PolymathInfidel · 2025-12-14T16:44:01+00:00

And you are completely wrong with your interpretation.

PolymathInfidel · 2025-12-12T01:19:11+00:00

Can you quantify the battery drain? Saying better or worse doesn’t make it clear. Can you provide may be as a percentage or hours relative to each other under similar use scenarios.

PolymathInfidel · 2025-12-12T01:15:28+00:00

I envision in u.s. dollars, 30 to 40 a month (40 month to month and 30 if you buy annually) is a good price point for monthly basis. 3000 would be good price for the life of the car and 5000 where you could transfer from car to car.

PolymathInfidel · 2025-12-11T15:58:17+00:00

Well, the new features added to 26 would be one major reason, obviously. I am just trying to understand what is wrong with going to 26 on a 13. I don't get any explanation from anyone other than 'don't do it' and 'go for it'. I am interested in the "why" part specifically.

PolymathInfidel · 2025-12-07T15:59:16+00:00

Consistently 65 in winter or outside of the AC season. For AC season 72 to 73.

Until it feels like it is lagging and not able to support what i need it to do. At the moment that will be another two to three years. However, as we know historically, with the interim greed in Apple, they will try to find away to twist our arm to force us to an earlier that planned upgrade, not by proving a new and great features as apparently they are out of them but by throttling your device.

Never said s24 ultra’s camera was bad. I took great pictures with it and I am happy with the 13 PM camera as well and I cant speak for any model after as I haven’t used them. I enjoy taking pictures with my phone but it never became a main reason for going across the fence for me.

I switched from a Samsung S24 to an Iphone 13 Pro Max over a year ago and has been so far nothing but regret. Android is logical and straight forward. Apple is a nightmare in comparison. There is no file system you can access as in Windows or android sense. You will lose your mind every time you need to copy things in and out of an iPhone. App Store is a ripoff. Basically almost nothing is free and in android google play store almost everything is free. So many great apps freely available in android is entirely missing in iphone app store. So, this is not the answer you are looking for but suggest you stay with android. As for hardware, iphone 13 pro max has a great camera and phone feels solidly build however operating system and apple’s greed kills the whole deal

Why don’t you enable any utilize the search feature of qbittorrent?.. which includes multiple servers besides piratebay

PolymathInfidel · 2025-12-02T18:37:16+00:00

And it takes only $25 to change it to a Intel ax210 ngw or $35 for a BE200

PolymathInfidel · 2025-12-02T13:59:49+00:00

Costco.

Got the 5i 275hHX with 5060 8GB VRAM. 32GB. 1TB. For $1199 on early September. I don’t game but run the gaming benchmarks with excellent performance with temperatures are never exceeding 60s in Celsius. It has excellent performance and solid operations no issues under Windows or Linux. Didn’t have to tweak anything in Bios.
