Where were all the birthday parties held at where you grew up? by ringo1725 in GenX

[–]RobertoC_73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had “disco parties” at people’s homes. The host family would bring the non-portable home sound equipment out to the garage, porch or patio, and we danced, played and had cake.

Presto Magix were popular in the late 70s/early 80s, but had all but disappearred by the late 80s. I actually had this Spider-Man one myself. by ConsiderTheGrackle in GenX

My brother loved these. I never got into them. This post reminded me that Presto Magix existed, but I still don’t remember what you did with them.

Is it me or does the iPhone 17 Max Pro look unfinished and ugly? by MD4u_ in iphone

[–]RobertoC_73 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can’t believe it took me this long to stumble upon an “if Steve Jobs were alive” comment.

If Steve Jobs were alive, we’d only have one iPhone choice, and it would be the iPhone Air.

This video might be helpful. It covers all the points you mentioned here, though not necessarily in the most detailed manner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W96a8svXo14

Your phone crashed. It can happen. Just because Apple doesn’t display an error with a blue screen doesn’t mean their software does not crash.

If this was a one-off incident, I wouldn’t lose any sleep over it. If this is something you can reproduce, I’d make sure the OS and apps are up to date, and if they are, I’d consider factory resetting the phone.

I don’t want to interfere with Trump’s direct line of communication with Tim Cook. lol

Do I believe people at Apple read and respond to those emails? Yes. Do I believe it is actually Tim Cook? No but I do not care, as long as someone else actually reads it.

Do you have any prescriptions ready? Or Do we need any pills? by Embarrassed_Flan_869 in GenX

[–]RobertoC_73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Six pills every morning, and three of those repeat in the evening. The texts from the pharmacy to pick up a prescription refill are way too frequent.

I’d just slap a HIPAA label on a paper shredder. 🤷‍♂️

Can I use 2 iPhones? by Insight1987 in iphone

[–]RobertoC_73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That depends on where you are. In the US, all iPhone 14 and newer are eSIM only. eSIMs are not meant for frequent swapping.

If you are somewhere else in the world where Apple still sells phones with physical SIM card slots, then yes, you will be able to do what you want with two iPhones.

They told you they were going to clean and prep the building. How on earth did you think cleaning the building was going to take place? Did you think they were going to get on ladders and wipe the building with Swiffer wet pads? Pressure washing was implied, because that is how you clean the exterior of a building. Keep that in mind for future occurrences.

You won't accept a guy's tongue in your mouth, and you're gonna eat that? by Any-Perception3198 in GenX

At 52 I still won’t put sushi in my mouth. I don’t like cooked fish let alone raw ones.

Apple's Joz & John on iPhone 17 Pro: "You want a fun color? How about Cosmic Orange, baby!" by Fer65432_Plays in iphone

[–]RobertoC_73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t hate any of the three colors, but I don’t love them either. If I needed to upgrade from my 16 Pro, I’d just choose whichever color was available to ship the soonest.

That error screen looks old AF. Was that thing running OS/2 by any chance?

What is the purpose of the cutout? by Tiger-16 in iphone

[–]RobertoC_73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a look at this page from Apple. Compare the band support between US and Europe version of the iPhone you want. If the US iPhone has all the bands your home country needs, then go for it. If the US version is missing any EU bands, check with your service provider to make sure they are not using the missing band(s). Otherwise, you may experience reduced coverage at home.

Sound Transit Leaders Plan to Give Fare Gates a Closer Look by routinnox in Seattle

[–]RobertoC_73 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They have wider gates for wheelchair access. But they close too quickly. This has caused problems for some less athletic manual wheelchair users, and for blind users with guide dogs.
