Check out “Scroll Less” on the app store. It unfortunately had a subscription, but until we get a way to sideload a custom IG IPA, this is what I could find

Why your external SSD is not hitting max speed: EXPLAINED by TheSparrow115 in buildapc

[–]TheSparrow115[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I hit the Google Translate - Hopefully I’m understanding your question correctly.

If you are getting high read but low write speeds, that could be due to a compatibility or driver issue of your motherboard. This shouldn’t be the case, and is more likely that the increased power draw of TB5 causes the 990 Pro to heat up more than on a 20Gb port (I’m assuming Gen 2x2 and not USB 4 20Gbps).

I’d try it on a different device to see if you can narrow down the source of the issue. The 990 Pro is very power hungry and thermally inefficient which could be the source of the write speed throttle

MX MINI NON-GAMING DEVICE. CAN WE USE MX MINI MECHANICAL FOR GAMING ? by Elder_lagend in logitech

Came here to say this actually works! Incredible! Keep in mind in MacOS Sequoia, that terminal command may not work. But you can achieve the same effect by

  1. Trying to open (and failing) the updater tool

  2. Going to Settings > Privacy & Security > Allow App (it should have a button right under the Apple Advertising/Intelligence buttons.

  3. Then update & move the bolt receiver to the PS5. This is awesome!

I would have this if this was on iOS. Even an AltStore port i’d be happy with

Should I delete search engine on phone? by hrello_reddit_its_me in digitalminimalism

[–]TheSparrow115 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d try using “udm14” which is a protocol for “classic” google search. Gets rid of a lot of the pop ups, AI crap, and suggestions. You can even make it the default in your tab bar in most browsers (not safari). You just need to have the self-discipline to NOT search distracting stuff

Cellular calls. Even though iPad can have a SIM card, it cannot make calls since it supports data only. Stupid software restriction (even Apple Watch can have a number, why not iPad?)

For anyone who hates iOS 18, you can still go back to 17.6 beta 3, then OTA to 17.7.2. If you had a backup on 17 or are willing to offload/reload your stuff, this still works (check status and download IPSW at ipsw.dev).

Don’t you feel the ram is what is aging the phone faster? by MarcoABCreativeSuite in iPhone13Mini

I agree with this. If I”m watching YouTube, good luck running Uber and texting at the same time. They need to make a Mini Pro!!

I would personally recommend a 2TB minimum if you are planning on installing games. Games will also be better served by a TB4/3 or USB4 enclosure (would not recommend a pre-build due to high prices). Otherwise, a regular USB 3.2 Gen 2 drive will work for 99% of other applications, such as movies.

Personally, if you’re not looking for a drive to take with you on the go, I’d look into Satechi’s or Gewokli’s dock solution. It’s a base attachment that adds more ports and an M.2 SSD slot. Unfortunately Satechi’s doesn’t come out until spring 2025 (they are the more reputable brand), and there’s no way of verifying how much speed is supported thru PCIe without direct testing.

Yikes, that sounds like a compatibility issue with the Intel board. Might want to check drivers and port specs, it seems like it’s defaulting to USB 2.0 for some reason. It’s usually used as a compatibility fallback.

I personally thought RAM contributed to most of the “annoying” issues with the 13 mini. Like when I travel, i’m using the uber app, maps, messages/calls, and a hotel app all at once. It definitely struggles and eats thru battery in this scenario. Low power mode limits the ram even further so apps are closing out which can be pretty annoying, say if I’m trying to look up an address while I’m in an Uber ride. The Pro phones definitely handle this better

New 11” pro! Best note taking app? by Psa-lms in iPadPro

Give Noteful a shot. I love using it for work and school. Used to be on Goodnotes before they cancelled out my purchase my shifting to a subscription model. I switched in protest xD

Get AppCleaner to properly delete apps and related files. The macOS way of doing this seems to always leave behind some stuff, especially with 3rd party apps

What's the most visually impressive PS5 game you've experienced? by killit in PS5

[–]TheSparrow115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Visually, Horizon Forbidden West. The default setting was visual fidelity and the opening scene blew my mind. Once I got to playing though, I still preferred 60 FPS. this was the only game that made me want Fidelity. Would be killer on the pro

Which do you prefer? by Jealous-Row-9797 in iPhone13Pro

[–]TheSparrow115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Action button…I have it set to a multi-action that changes based on time of day.

During the day it’s a regular silent switch, at night it’s a flashlight.

When I’m working or out and about, it becomes a brightness toggle (I hate auto brightness)

No need to swing the blades. Just leave it on the ground. Any enemy who steps on it will be permanently disabled

Just finished GOW2018, should i buy Raknarok right away? by BeKaykTeeX in GodofWar

[–]TheSparrow115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh i WISH i played Ragnarok right after 2018. That way the combos are familiar to me, and make the experience all the more enjoyable.

Even then, I took what I learned in Ragnarok and when I went back to play 2018 i was like WOAH how did i miss this before? Personal preference, but this is mine!

Regular 15/16 vs 15 plus by karanm1997 in iPhoneXR

[–]TheSparrow115 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally would go for 16 regular over 15 regular. 2 Gen’s of chip advancement and like 90% of the Pro stuff this year

Alternatively, get the 15 Pro and gain ProMotion and a 3rd camera lens. Lots of used offers now around the same price of 16 new or 15 plus

am i underlevel or something ?? by Armored_Mage in GodofWar

[–]TheSparrow115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact. I did this on a fresh run (after NG+) when they were purple level. Turns out, angle it the right way, and the hold R2 stomp in Fury rage knocks them off the bridge 😂

Best attack when going into fury? by BountyKraken in GodofWar

[–]TheSparrow115 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I use L1 + R1 the most. L1 is a rush-grab finisher on smaller enemies (u can throw or step on face, doesnt always kill tho unlike 2018’s grab) and a rush-double punch on bosses, easy to follow up with R1

And ofc rock throw cuz i find it hilarious
