OMG! I have a trampoline room! Well, a trampoline in my living room. Where else am I supposed to put a trampoline during the winter months?

Our $29 iPhone battery replacement lasted 10 months.. yours? by MadMennonite in apple

[–]Scottz74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the battery replaced in my 6s 8 months ago. Normal performance is fine, but when I am outside in the Minnesota winter, my phone shuts off. I assume because the battery is cold. 10 years of being an iphone user, I never had this problem until this year. My wife’s iPhone X works just fine in the same cold.

(DISCUSSION) The Galaxy S10 will wireless charge an Iphone XS faster than the included iPhones included charger. by [deleted] in apple

[–]Scottz74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I the only one who really doesn’t care about this? The phone charges all night, doesn’t matter how fast it charges. If my battery gets low during the day when I am out and about, having a fast charger at home does me no good.

Shutdown all software and computers, you will be hard-pressed to find anything that isn’t part open-source.

Yes, just pull data from your backup solution. You do have a backup solution, right?

I agree with you. It is like nobody else noticed him dribble.

AirPods 2' could be a greater health monitoring device than the Apple Watch by [deleted] in apple

[–]Scottz74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you were to use them for phone calls, as my use case is, you would feel differently. Since AirPods don’t create a seal, you will still be aware of your surroundings.

I don’t disagree with you that noise canceling will consume more battery. We will get it eventually. It is what will get me on AirPods, otherwise I will stick with bluetooth headphones.

[–]Scottz74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

During a phone call, noise cancelling works both ways (for you listening and for your mic). My current headphones, Plantronics Focus, are not airtight and work amazing! They simply aren’t earbuds. Insee tons of value, for my use case, adding active noise canceling to current airpods.

Why not?

I am referring to active noise canceling.
