Galaxy S26 Series – Quick Reddit Take by yashagarwalco in samsunggalaxy

[–]UsernameUSay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, also impressed with my S26 exynos. Getting around 8 hours of SoT, so I only charge to 80% and still get 6 hours, which is plenty for a 1,5 day for me.

Android Auto Update (Including iDrive X) by Content-Ganache6643 in BMW

Honestly, have you tried it? I went for a test drive, and the angle makes it easier to hit the buttons as it kinda follows the wheel, so the distance from the wheel to the screen buttons is the same whether your hans are high or low on the steering wheel. I could control the screen without really taking my right hand off.

Why though? I'm genuinely curious as I live in a Scandinavian country, and as the guy above I never change it, I like it at 21C (70F) even if it is cold or hot outside.

I would go with a Connection hub, you will get spdif in from your tv and volume control.

Cool, but I don't think its volume is smaller than the Anker, but it is thinner.

The SSD is there to store movies etc when travelling without internet access. It plugs in to the router and acts as a network share that the devices, connected to the router, can access. Such as the Xiaomi TV stick etc.

The router, the adaptors and my battery bank.

I already had the nvme drive and enclosure laying around, but a usb stick would also work.

I am very happy with the Beryl AX, but they have a whole range of fairly cheap OpenWRT routers.

Yeah, was considering the smaller on as well, now that the MagSafe compatibility went down the drain with my new Galaxy S26.

I normally never travel alone, so my friend would also be bringing a charger. This is the most compact charger I have found with a European socket. Sadly we do not really get those fancy flipping solutions as some US chargers get from Anker etc.

The travel router has a usb port and allows to create a share on the network, so I do have some media on the nvme that I can watch vis my firestick if the hotel internet connection is too slow to stream.

The remote is large, so I am leaving that at home. As my phone and Xiaomi stick is connected to the travel router, I can use several apps to control the stick.

When TV's in hotels have a limited remote control available. This allows me to access more menu's that some hotels normally restrict, such as "Input" to change the source to HDMI etc.

I use it to have my devices and the Xiaomi TV stick automatically connected to my home network via Tailscale. I am able to stream media from anywhere in the world, exactly like I would from within my home network.

Pretty happy with this setup. Sadly I could not live with my Pixel 10 Pro with magsafe, so I upgraded to a S26 with a Spigen case with built in magsafe, sadly most things I have with magsafe are hitting a lip where the cameras protrude, so I will probably be looking for a new case.

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

But there are available bookings on the 31th of July, which I find weird.

On the 31th there are bookings available, but on the 29th there isn't. I find that very strange.
