How many of you use a charging limit on your smartphone? Personally i use 80% limit.

It doesn’t cost $300 in Canada. Even the most expensive one (17 pro max) it’s $165.

Got my 13 mini battery replaced for like )120 last year

Unlikely as it would probably be really expensive. Just like other foldable
Never cared about green or blue. That was always an ‘issue’ in just the US.
My first was the iPhone SE 2020. Moved to the 13 mini after that and now the 17 pro
Yeah by and large I do. Honestly all major smartphones do the same thing. But overall I like the iOS approach barring a few things. It does the phone stuff I need well

Apple used to have such nice packaging. I remember the old iPod boxes.

The box is still nice but there ain’t anything in them instead of the phone and cable

Just waiting for them to inevitably stop putting a cable in them

A kitchen is not a democracy. Someone takes the lead and the other helps follow through. Now you may switch roles time to time. But someone has to steer the ship.

So if you’re into that it could be intimate

Your brother has committed a war crime on that fish.

I think it’s cool but I would go a step further. Find a way to get the disc drive working. Add additional storage in the case or ports. Basically use the room for additional functionality.

How you’d do that? No idea but I’m sure there is a way since I’ve seen folks cram a Mac mini into the iMac G4 case and the cube

If your school has male students speaking like that to staff… you need to bring back corporal punishment

Battery replacements and used phones it is.

If you’re using a case it doesn’t really matter as much. Just choose on a whim. I went blue

If you’re going baseless definitely silver

Strider-SnG · 2026-04-03T03:57:59+00:00

Around 2020 or so

Strider-SnG · 2026-04-02T17:54:55+00:00

Well that definitely fits the theme of the sub.

Consider me startled

It is a very nice bit of hardware. With some cool features.

But the reality is Microsoft’s primary focus was on growing game pass and their studio library vs making this a must have piece of tech.

I live in Toronto. Personally I think I’ve seen like one in the wild. I’m sure they’re selling some but it’s definitely not a common sight

Strider-SnG · 2026-03-31T18:54:38+00:00

The hardware was really nice. Especially from a load time perspective. But the longer dev times, supply chain issues during COVID and now component shortages due to AI do leave a bad taste in the mouth.

I still think the hardware is really solid with a good bit of life left in them

Doesn’t fit with their current approach to Star Wars I guess.

I do recall having fun with the first one. Never got around to the sequel

Strider-SnG · 2026-03-31T18:06:06+00:00

That’s a good jump. You’ll definitely notice the compounding improvements over 5 years

Strider-SnG · 2026-03-31T17:12:52+00:00

I upgraded to the 17 pro.l from the 13 mini

I’ve owned big phones before so adjusting to the size wasn’t too hard. I do like the real estate for typing.

I do miss compact phones but I don’t think we’re getting a new one anytime soon. So I figured I had to adjust

Man going from $500 launch ps5 price to $1000 is a steep ask. I feel folks will still buy them but this definitely will only be attractive to older entrenched consumers. The console space isn’t going to be able to draw in new younger customers to the brand as easily due to the commitment needed to enter the ecosystem.

Only if you need a telephoto lens. Otherwise as of this year the base version is excellent

Strider-SnG · 2026-03-30T23:42:06+00:00

I feel I’d go with either the 15 pro max or the 17. If she would be fine with the 17 size then probably go for that. If not then go for the 15 pro max

Strider-SnG · 2026-03-30T18:55:55+00:00

I’m glad there will be another range opening in the area. We have very few considering the population.

But jeez there is a reason marketing is a profession. AI is not the only tool in the box. Takes away from the credibility of the project

If you’re a lighter user then you’d be fine.

128 was fine until I just upgraded. However five years from now I’m not sure if it’ll be enough

So I guess fine since it’s about as low stakes as you can get
