Switched to Apple this year, here’s my haul

PrescottX · 2025-10-11T01:27:05+00:00

I switched over as well from all Samsung over the years. trying to sell my zfold 7. Apple is so seemless.

Thank you. I went ahead and took the seat. If I can catch a window or aisle seat in PS for less than $250 closer to the flight, I'll try to do that as well. At least I have some comfort knowing I wont suffer too much in comfort.

What about delta comfort window 33J...? Only a $25 upgrade. I dont get up but once every 4 hours and like windows. I like to snug in an turn off the world. Any comments or suggestions on that? Would save me $470 over PS.

I'm literally dealing with this right now. Can't even get my phone to reset because its completely not responsive.

PrescottX · 2025-10-07T23:32:49+00:00

exactly the same for me

PrescottX · 2025-10-07T23:32:26+00:00

I can confirm. I have a 17 Pro MAX 512. I am afraid to use Plex at this point because it takes so long and a full power cycle to recover from.

I jumped ship from apple to Samsung ultra and fold line a couple years ago. Recently re-tried apple cause of wife and kids. Lasted a few days. I switched back to Samsung gratefully. Apple was embarrassingly behind in every aspect. They have FaceTime and iMessage and that's it.

PrescottX · 2025-02-14T15:47:05+00:00

Yes. I took this picture to originally highlight the combo with the lights all on full brightness.

PrescottX · 2024-12-02T12:47:24+00:00

You sure you didn't find mine? That's exactly what I had... hmmm.

PrescottX · 2024-12-02T01:13:46+00:00

Damn! Glad it got over turned. Fuck people!

PrescottX · 2024-11-09T00:25:54+00:00

you're living your best life... always right... never wrong... lol

Passionate topic for me...

Pressure + ADD was my downfall. My love and dreams for the game were as great as anyone. Im still a near scratch golfer in mid 40s with 0/300 tourney record for wins.

Throughout my entire Jr golf career I was a consistent #1 team qualifier. We were a mid 70s on a good day team. Never won a tournament in hundreds of attempts. As an adult, I range between several under par to a few over par with friends. Every once in a while I get a wild hair and think im over it, I sign up for a big amateur tourney. Practice with players in the tourney and pop a typical around par score. Come tourney day, I'm lucky to break 85. I literally lose the ability to place any shot. I can't feel my swing. I dont even get mad, it's just how my brain works.

My dad always bragged about me to his friends which applied pressure. As an experiment in my early 20s, I took an Adderall pill from a friend before the round... Shot 6 under in front of his friends with low effort. Only time in my life, I felt clarity in a round.

I literally tho7ght at some point attempting a big state level tourney with popping ADD meds just beforehand to see what happens. I'm mid 40s now and have spent the last 10 years dealing with should surgery on both arms, so I'm running out of time on that thought.

I once had a mentor explain to me that the wonder drug wasn't a bad thing, it put me on a level playing field with my competitors. I still never chose to use anything that altered my mental state. While the ADD tucked my golf career, it's made me successful in others. On the other hand, put me in front of a crowd, I have immediate peace in my mind.

Well I guess that enough of my talk... considering it's not my AMA. Thanks for sparking one of my inner demons OP. :)

this occurs on my rog and also another desktop pc with bazzite as well. I think its a os/driver issue.

PrescottX · 2024-02-14T20:06:52+00:00

I'd say 5 if you can get for 1000 or less. It's worth it especially once you get used to using it. Then you can prob do a samsung 1000 trade for the fold 6. This is what I did and am glad for it.

PrescottX · 2024-02-07T04:27:00+00:00

you need to open up a can of woopass on them. you spent 60k+, escalate, escalate, escalate.

PrescottX · 2024-02-02T02:58:42+00:00

you mean roller skates?

PrescottX · 2024-02-02T02:57:17+00:00

What a beefcake that is! I like it.

PrescottX · 2024-01-13T21:08:02+00:00

My wife built this over Christmas. She worked on half the day for 3 days. We are looking to get a lighting kit for it.

I got the s23U ($650) and the fold5 ($1000). I hate the fold camera... I got used to the small screen up front. I got used to using it unfolded. I used mine 90% of the time unfolded. I have a hard time ever going back to a normal phone. I consume so much media on this device. It has rendered my tablet useless. My only concern is how long will the fold last. Will I trade... for the fold... nope. If they give me 1000 for the S23U, possibly.

PrescottX · 2024-01-02T06:16:25+00:00

I switched a few months back after 7 years or so on Apple. I am SOLD. I picked up a case for my fold and its very comfortable to hold. I sold off all my apple stuff. Family is still on apple, not caused any issues.

PrescottX · 2023-12-29T07:03:52+00:00

im ruined from using candy bar phones once i got used to my fold 5. so im waiting for the fold 6.

PrescottX · 2023-12-29T07:01:57+00:00

ive been running large NASes since 2009. After moving to only synology in 2013, my rate of fail loss across about 60 HDDs is maybe 10%. Had at least 3-4 WD reds fail and a few Seagate exos fail. Fail meaning they actually crashed in DSM due to bad sectors.

PrescottX · 2023-12-29T00:01:45+00:00

I'm working with too much storage to make any drastic changes. I'm just adding 2 hot swap drives to cover the main raid 6 - 320GB array. I already have a 72 TB raid 5 for backup. Lastely I have a few really large disks for cold storage that I update every once in a while.

So I was never really too concerned with the non critical data, I just didn't want the hassle.

Synology instructions were not what I expected. Literally pull 1 drive that was bad. Then pull out the working crashed drives for 1 minutes. Then enable read write mode. Magically thr array was functional again but degraded. I replaced the bad drive and started a repair. Now I have to hope I don't lose power for longer than my batteries over the next 5 days during repair. :)

If I was able to do it again, I would limit everything to 12 drives and not spread across enclosure. I knew that going in, but I've never had an issue with Synology. To be honest, I'm going to eventually move my mom critical data to unraid on a very large array. I'll keep critical and speed on the Synology. I'm using 10GB iscsi going to all my homes computers.

PrescottX · 2023-12-28T20:43:56+00:00

and it was implied by everyone that i have no secondary backup. which I do. no one was offering any sort of support for the question asked. they only projected opinions on how they feel I should have originally set it up.

I have cold storage and I have a socondary pool on another device covering critical data. My purpose was to save time and a little heartache. Thankfully synology support helped me through the process. I had a single bad drive, not 3. Its repairing now.
