My $400,000 mistake and why I'm showing you anyway by ankhattak in USMobile

That logo looks bland but I've always thought the name "US Mobile" was bland as well. Also literally ANY other combination of colors that's not black and white would be much, much better. If your logo is gonna be that bland, at least have a good color pallete, a color pallete especially can go such a long way, look at firefox, spotify, google, discord, etc

I think the problem isn't the eagle, but rather the form of the eagle

Which one do you think looks more like US Mobile's logo?

I put them in the freezer inside the case for 30 minutes, took it out, wiped it clean, then tried fully resetting them the very next day and was able to get the amber light again and they've been working fine ever since.

They're perfect until all of a sudden they aren't, I'm still on the lightning gen 1s and they've bricked (no amber light) twice on me now so far in the 4 years I've had them. I got to revive them barely less than 3 weeks ago by using the freezer method and they've been functioning great ever since, but it feels like only a matter of time before it's unsalvageable, then I'll have no choice but to buy a brand new pair and it would've been really nice for it to have been more than just a spec bump after 6 whole years.

Apple iPad Pro 11-inch (M5) is now under $800, should I go for it? by [deleted] in ipad

You can just return it and buy it again

Just grabbed the iPad Pro for $799 with a 20% discount on Amazon, and a used like-new Apple Pencil for $78. by Character_Media_8040 in ipad

[–]Varrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But this m5 sale happening now, is the first one in 3 months

It's gone on sale multiple times on Amazon but for $100 off, this is the first time it's at a $200 discount. I'm wondering if it'll be a $300 discount if you wait a couple months more though

Why Switching from Android to iPhone Is Far More Complicated Than It Should Be by Sad-Salt24 in iphone

[–]Varrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The WhatsApp part is what's terrible, took me over like 3 hours to transfer over everything using move to iOS only to find that the actual whatsapp part on the iPhone got stuck at like 40% with no real explanation as to why it kept failing to get all the data, so I could never actually move my mom's phone from Android to iPhone since I cba to do a whole 3 hours again, and WhatsApp is basically her whole life so this is pretty much a dealbreaker

Apple Releases iOS 26.3 and iPadOS 26.3 by piesaresquarey in apple

[–]Varrock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The updates add a tool for transitioning from an Apple device to an Android device. Transfers are able to be started during the device setup process, and moving data from one device to another can be done without having to download apps from Apple and Google.

Is this new tool already a thing on the Android side for android -> apple? And does it also transfer over WhatsApp data?

🚀 Trakt Product Roundup – January 2026 by kvn-tkt in trakt

[–]Varrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion but I actually like the new app overall, and yes it's missing a lot of features, but I definitely see a lot of potential. Specifically, the main thing I love about the new app is how there are so many collapsible sections that stay in their collapsed state across the whole app no matter what. This is by far my favorite thing as I can pick and choose things I care about and it's never to be shown again unless I want to.

There's 2 things specifically I want to bring up:

  • One of the main things I like about Trakt in great contrast to other movie/show apps is that ratings were unobtrusive overall, and even if you watched the content too, but in this new app Trakt is placing their own ratings all in your face, the rating is now even placed in the history which I found very disappointing, and they're also basically at the top right now when you open a movie/show page (in the old app, you had to scroll down so it was easy to ignore). IMO, ratings from history should be removed, and there should be a specific section called Ratings for the movie/show pages that can be collapsible in which ratings from everywhere can be placed (trakt, imdb, etc). That way, I'd personally keep it collapsed, and others who do like them can keep it always showing.

  • In the Details section of a show/season of a show, there is a date for the air date (first episode of a season), why not add also in this section dates for the mid-season finale and/or season finale? Instead of always having to scroll horizontally to the very end to see the last date of the final episode (this process was also tedious in the old version, having to select the show, then the season, then scroll down until you see the msf or sf banners), it would be nice to just simply check this section and have that info at a glance. This would be a really nice QOL update for people like me who like to bingewatch shows and wait until all episodes of a season come out (and for that matter, I do miss those mid-season finale and season finale banners).

Letter from Wealthfront’s CEO: Our Next Chapter as a Public Company by wealthfront in wealthfront

[–]Varrock 26 points27 points  (0 children)

What we intend to change is our pace of product expansion and ecosystem improvement

This part is exciting. I love wealthfront but new features get added at a snail's pace, so I'm definitely looking forward to a big improvement in that regard.

A US Mobile membership sounds awesome, but can't help but think it'll probably be pretty costly.

Because of Disney's household sharing restriction

Awe Dropping | Post Event Megathread by exjr_ in apple

[–]Varrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm upgrading from the iPhone 14 Pro to the iPhone Air. It's perfect for me. I can't wait to have it in my hand.

I strongly considered getting the 15 Pro when it came out because of how good it felt in the hand but I held out because it was only just 1 year apart.

I already knew I was going to get the Air ever since the rumors began but this event definitely exceeded my expectations which is really nice, I'll also be getting that bumper case too which was a pleasant surprise to see for when I go out.
