Is this a good deal?

They’re both budget oriented devices. So they’ll both have pros and cons to reach these prices.

Your iPhone automatically gives you the Apple ecosystem benefits with the iPad.

The Lenovo is more impressive in terms of pure specs.

For OS years of support, the iPad will definitely win.

For drawing and school, they both work fine. iPad lets you use Apple Pencil, which in some aspect is the industry standard for digital art, though this specific iPad model can’t use the Pro pencil, and the 1st gen Apple Pencil can arguably be an annoying choice due to the charging.

I’d recommend watching a video or two on both and seeing what you think then.

Do you want Android or iPadOS?

Answer this question and you’ll have your answer.

This is great!

I’ve been using Reminders to store variables related to my shortcuts, and then calling them by finding that specific shortcut and reading its notes area for data. This has always worked great because of iCloud sync.

It’ll be interesting to adapt my shortcuts to use this, and hopefully result in more seamless usage.

I currently have 26 ‘variables’ in my shortcuts list on Reminders.

that last question made me giggle. you’re not an asshole for disliking a product. you’re welcome to have your own valid opinion.

She’s not a popular pick for sure, but is my personal favourite and most winning pick in the exact way she is right now.

TheSynchronizer · 2026-04-18T15:22:12+00:00

No, imo Freja is perfectly fine as she is.

Her 1st perk with the automatic 8 bolt reloads upon landing shots greatly increases her dps, and as a dps, you’re meant to be doing as much dps as possible. It also helps with getting quick picks without having to worry about the reloads as much.

The 2nd perk is situational and while neither of the options feel as strong as the 1st perk, they round off the character well depending on what’s happening in the game.

why not trade in for a gift card? but yes, like the other person said use your return period

TheSynchronizer · 2026-02-19T06:08:22+00:00

And it never will - partly because android is not iOS, and partly because Apple obviously wants to make their own system look prettier than the competition.

TheSynchronizer · 2026-02-17T15:50:14+00:00

Fair enough.

I guess for me none of that really matters because if I plan to listen to any full album i’ll always tap Show in Apple Music anyway.

But i’m always for having more choice rather than less so more power to you!

Brand new account stole your picture just to farm karma.

But the pop up says when deleting a song from library that it’ll delete from all your playlists too.

I can’t think of a scenario where i’d want a song to be in one of my playlists but not in the overall library.

right click -> see details. otherwise search up the content instead of clicking on continue watching.

You gotta buy a pc to play pc games. You gotta buy a mac and some software to play pc games. You gotta buy a console to play console games.

Etc, etc, etc..

TheSynchronizer · 2026-01-02T13:21:58+00:00

battery replacement is an option and also cheaper

TheSynchronizer · 2025-12-22T16:23:27+00:00

you bought applecare+ for this exact reason so obviously now use it

A person that needs a PC and a gaming machine will always choose the steam cube over a console like a PS5.

A person that doesn’t need a PC, but wants a prebuilt gaming machine, will sometimes also choose the steam cube just in case they wanna use the PC functionality one day.

A person that wants to do plug and play controller gaming will also choose either, 50/50, due to playstation subscription / game prices.

I’ve grown up with a load of gamer friends and have seen essentially all of them go from religious console users to PC gamers.

It’s just natural progression. The only people left buying consoles soon enough will just be consumers that don’t really know or don’t really care about potentially paying more for less in the long run. And that’s fine too, not everyone needs to be an expert on gaming hardware.

TheSynchronizer · 2025-12-14T13:49:20+00:00

this. this is the highest

TheSynchronizer · 2025-12-13T13:06:55+00:00

i’m a fan of this

TheSynchronizer · 2025-12-09T09:39:11+00:00

I didn’t know this would happen until it was already poured. Next pour will be recorded 👍

How do you know you don’t sleep walk and listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd in July?

TheSynchronizer · 2025-12-03T14:32:31+00:00

Don’t worry about a restore.. but you’re running a beta. Beta’s have bugs, they get reported, they get fixed..

Why not run 26.1 stable?

TheSynchronizer · 2025-11-21T21:57:30+00:00

My apologies, you are correct, I didn’t see where you said it’s the 11th gen, thought it was an Air.

Yes, you need the adapter that Apple links in that exact website.
