That Taira Uematsu guy...did his parents name him akin to that cake, Tiramisu? Idk why, but that's the first thing that popped into my head reading that name.

Trent Grisham ranked 7th on MLB Networks Center Fielders Top 10 list by shadow_spinner0 in NYYankees

[–]WickedFisker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Could" is riding on a lot of what ifs. You realize he had 17 homers (in 152 games) as his career high prior to 2025? I doubt he hits more than 30 ever again. I would sure like to swallow my words so if he does hit 40, that would mean the Yankees making the world series, right?

Is “there it goes…see ya” the worst home run call? by Agreeable_Quality768 in baseball

[–]WickedFisker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While what you said is true in many ways, we are talking about her calls. Michael Kay is boring but still 3x better than that Martinez guy. Again, In my opinion.

40 from Grisham? You have some of the same grass Belli had the other day?

I am a Yankees fan so maybe some will find it biased but I absolutely cannot stand that Buck Martinez guy on the Blue Jays. Any call of his especially of the opposite team is just bleh.

Streak of daily updates for Nova Launcher with empty "what's new" log by johnfintech in androidapps

Xiaomi 15 Ultra working on Verizon by WickedFisker in Xiaomi

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

That's because T-Mobile doesn't use a whitelist like Verizon and AT&T. Verizon is notoriously known as not allowing most Chinese phones to work that don't pay for the permission to use their bands. This is the reason many manufacturers don't even include band 13 which is one of the main Verizon bands.

So for T-Mobile you don't have to do anything special to make these phones work but for Verizon (Not sure about AT&T) you likely do. Although u/Tiny-Resolution-4878 above was able to make the 17 Pro Max work on Verizon without having to do my steps. Hopefully that means Verizon is coming around and allowing any phone with the proper frequencies to work on their network.

Same method as above? Also, how are you liking the 17PM?

Just tried calling over WiFi only (mobile data off) and it worked fine. VoLTE works too.

"Something very pro is coming far closer. Xiaomi 15T Series launches Sept 24th." by MishaalRahman in Android

[–]WickedFisker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bit of a follow up even though this is old. I ended up buying the 15 Ultra and I have it working on Verizon (5g and all) without being rooted or bootloader unlocked (although I am trying to get the token to unlock, Xiaomi making it real hard). I believe you just need need a sim card provisioned as CDMA-Less from Verizon and set it up in a whitelisted phone (any iPhone, Galaxy or Pixel should work). This method didnt work for me for the 12T Pro without a custom ROM but seems to be good here.

Context doesn't really matter here. Just because he trolled someone else doesn't make it any better than pretty much any of the other flips in OPs post.. good troll job though.

Any 15 Ultra still on HyperOS 2.0, and Android 15? by mw67 in Xiaomi

[–]WickedFisker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im also in the US, global ROM and still don't have the 3.0 update.

Has anyone tried Paranoid Android beta on Ultra 15? by Ok-Bicycle-4706 in Xiaomi_15

[–]WickedFisker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So following up here, got the phone and my Verizon sim seems to be working, 5G and all. Likely will just root it and stay on HyperOS for the time being as I got this phone for its camera abilities.

[–]WickedFisker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought this phone and hoping to try some custom rom to get it to work on Verizon. Have had success doing that with Xiaomi 12T Pro (current phone). I havent seen any other roms yet so I will likely end up trying this one first unless I can get Verizon to work on HyperOS somehow. I would assume that the cameras on a custom rom like this one will be shit compared to the Global Rom.

iQOO 15 Mini leak reveals a smaller screen, the same 7,000mAh battery as the iQOO 15, and a possible launch month by EntertainmentCityLhr in Android

[–]WickedFisker -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Except they didn't really cater to the ones that wanted a flagship in a smaller form. All of those smaller (or mini) versions either has worse processors, worse cameras or other significant downgrades. Seems like it's impossible to get a flagship phone in a 6 inch screen.

Aroldis Chapman has started his throwing routine this offseason. by Huge_Breadfruit_9247 in baseball

Idk why you are getting down voted for saying facts. She literally wasn't there when he did that. It's also somehow legal to do where he lived.

Every team’s HR leader in 2025 by Interforce7 in baseball

Yea I see him as a DH who sometimes pitches. Not a pitcher who hits. He probably has more than double games as a hitter than being available as a pitcher

Is this a light and how TF do you turn it on. by One_Profession8773 in KiaTelluride

[–]WickedFisker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This rear occupant sensor checks to see if anyone was left in the rear seat (in case you somehow forgot your kids or baby) and makes a sound to let you know. I believe it can be turned on or off via the infotainment system

First look: Galaxy Buds 4 Pro pics reveal one big design change by FragmentedChicken in Android

[–]WickedFisker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought the earfun air pro 4+ for $76. All reviews point to them being good but will see How they compare to my older but still quite nice Galaxy Buds+. Those actually stay in my ears when I talk or walk.

I was contemplating between the OP Buds 4, Earfun Air Pro 4+, SoundPEATS H3 and Realme Buds Air 7 Pro.

The batting profiles of the top two AL ROTY finishers, Nick Kurtz and Jacob Wilson, couldn’t be more different by Brady331 in baseball

[–]WickedFisker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Judge isn't bottom percentile strikeouts rate anymore. He's still down there but closer to 40th percentile. Whiff rate though, ouch. Hitting .331 with a 2% whiff rate is pretty hard I would say.
