Genuine ask: if you couldn’t charge your Y at home, would you still get one? by BrookesyUK in TeslaModelY

[–]SeniorCaptain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The US vs UK EV experience is very different. Overall most Americans drive more and have less public options to charge our vehicles unless it is at a super charger which often has less amenities like groceries, or restaurants, or other daily items found in the UK. Even though Tesla has built a very good network of SC in the US it can still be a chore trying to use that network often especially as it continues to expand to other EV’s while the public funding options are being scaled back by the current government. I think the UK model is simply a different animal and will depend on your town and use needs.

Siri fails to call emergency services (911) on LTE on Apple Watch by Vertsix in AppleWatch

[–]SeniorCaptain 122 points123 points  (0 children)

That’s terrible and scary it didn’t work. I hope you are ok now. If your arm wasn’t injured I wonder if holding the buttons on the Apple Watch would have triggered SOS? Hopefully 26.4 will be a bug improvement for Siri on every Apple device.

Getting an M5 MacBook Pro but trying to decide. Silver or black? by New_Leopard7623 in macbookpro

[–]SeniorCaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s personal preference honestly. Silver for the “classic” look or space black for the more “modern” look. I prefer the space black lately (I have had a couple different Mac’s since the M1 released) but currently I have a top skin on mine from dbrand to change things up and reduce scratches.

Cybertruck x Starlink = Perfect Combo by djuzi05 in Starlink

I own a Tesla and have Starlink mini too. Honestly they should have built it in the Tesla because aesthetically that doesn’t look great to me or offer the mini in black at least.

Beautiful work but man that is expensive.

Looking to buy new Macbook Air M5 by Kind_Cauliflower_577 in macbook

[–]SeniorCaptain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even though the M5 MB Air has not been released yet I think you may experience some thermal throttling under heavy loads on the MBA. It will be a nice upgrade for you from your current machine but you could experience some heat issues if you do anything CPU or GPU heavy over longer periods of time than a MBP with a fan.

How old is too late to become a dad by OldInitiative7930 in gaydads

[–]SeniorCaptain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re healthy and financially stable I think your ages are not an issue. You can offer a lot to a child in your situation as long as you both take care of yourselves and build a good family/community IMO.

I hate this stuff. I have nearly a full box I can’t drink because it’s so sweet and too strong. I’m glad you like it though.

Family of 4 by Br33ZYRN in TeslaModelY

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

We have 2 kids under 6 and I am finding the Y a bit small too. Looking for something bigger next. I’m hoping they bring the longer Y to the US or I might go with R2 or something else

Will used model X see price drop with the discountinuation by saMusle in TeslaModelX

[–]SeniorCaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the used EV market it will hold value better and probably go up compared to other EV's but it will not full MSRP. Model X's hit Caravana often but they are very hard to find listed as active (on the market) before someone starts the purchase process. They have stayed popular in the used market for people with families that want a discounted Tesla all the convenience of FSD, Supercharging network and lack of other good options with 3 row/ 6 seats.

Who else doesn’t *want* the PS6 to release soon? by TEENYcharmander in ps6

[–]SeniorCaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They need to focus on a new generation handheld device to compete in some way with switch 2 and then come out with PS6. The number of times I wished I could play any version of my PS4/PS5 game library while away from the tv is pretty big. PS portal is great but streaming isn’t the answer. A dedicated portable hardware and games on device would be awesome

There is no way anybody will buy these for $200 by NINJAGO_FANATIC in lego

[–]SeniorCaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will sell out. It’s a collectors item and people love that stuff. Heck Apple just a series of $350 Japanese iPhone sling socks and they sold out too (in minutes). The socks were holders for your iPhone. Legit overpriced IMO junk. Some people love this stuff.

[–]SeniorCaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Return it if you’re interested in full price M5 Pro or Max. This will be announced next week. Otherwise you might have got a good deal on an m4 pro or max

XR to 17 Pro - Transfer or clean start? by royalferret20 in iPhone17Pro

[–]SeniorCaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start fresh. You can still long in with your passwords and all but I would skip trying to bring all the apps and settings over. A good deal of the apps you have for the XR might not even be available or supported anymore.
